UITableView inside a UITableViewCell

[gbergamo]

Hello everyone!

I have a big problem (I think!)

I begin a tabBar application. In appDelegate I put a button in the middle of the tabbar. Ok! this works fine!
When I touch this button, I open a modal view:

RefundViewController *controller = [[RefundViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RefundViewController" bundle:nil];	
[self.tabBarController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];

My problem... In this View I have a UITableView w/ self delegate, this Table has a CustomCell, this custom cell has another UITableView, but I have to add another file to delegate this TableView.
Everything works fine! but HOW CAN I GET THE TOUCH ON THE CELL ????
Yeah, I have the method

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

I have to send an information to the first View (refundViewController). How can I do that?


Thanks!

A table view inside a single custom table view cell? That sounds pretty awful, both technically and as a user interface.

I think you're on your own to get that working. It's likely to cause odd problems like not being able to resolve where a gesture belongs.

Man, for the user interface, it's really cool! I do this: when the user enter in the view I have the table showing the "menu" items, so, when he/she touch on the menu item, this cell grow and show that other cell whit the options...

You don't have any tip for me? an idea??

Thanks to reply...

You could probably assign a Tag value to each Table, so then you can differentiate between which table is being touched by using the Tag value as the first statement in your if block

NSInteger tableTag = tableView.tag;

if (tableTag == 20) {
//Cell in Table one Selected so put action here
}

else if (tableTag == 30) { 
//Second Table Cell selected put that action here
}

That's just my guess, that's how I handled different UIAlerts that could show up on a specific screen (one alert is for connectivity issues, another for updating some default values, and a third for getting more descriptions on a certain cell) but I don't know for sure it this would work for what you have.

You will need to set the delegate of the inner uitableview, preferably to a different class as to not to mix up the delegate of the parant uitableview. As Duncan mentioned, I wouldn't advice doing this either, as it causes performance and usability issues.
