UITableViewSection

[vilisei]

I am making an app that has a view that show a table view.

PHP Code:

    SampleTableDataSource = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    // Insert Section here
    [SampleTableDataSource addObject:@"Cell 1"];
    // Insert Section here
    [SampleTableDataSource addObject:@"Cell 2"];
    // Insert Section here
    [SampleTableDataSource addObject:@"Cell 3"];
    // Insert Section here
    [SampleTableDataSource addObject:@"Cell 4"]; 


PHP Code:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 4;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return [SampleTableDataSource count];
} 


It is setup correctly because it shows the content but instead of showing 4 sections, it show everything 4 times. How do I do I add section because I heard it was different in iOS 5. Also I am using Automatic Reference Counting.

In your cellForRow, you need to check the section number and use different data accordingly.

PHP Code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"cell";
    
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }
    
    // Configure the cell...
    cell.textLabel.text = [SampleTableDataSource objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Date Created";
    return cell;
} 


So I have to make a new array for each section? Isn't there a code like

PHP Code:

[SampleTableDataSource addSection:@"Section 1"]; 


or anything close to that?

No. Perhaps you should read more about table views. The link in my signature is a good start.
