UITableView Putting array objects into sections

Question

Hey guys I need to know who to put these array objects into two separate sections, that means one section for the red cell and another section for the blue cell. Would really appreciate your help been stuck on this all day now. Here is my code:

-(void)viewDidLoad {

    [super viewDidLoad];
    //Initialize the array.
    array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    [array addObject:@"Red"];
    [array addObject:@"Blue"];

    self.ViewTable.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];    
}

You need to implement:

return number of sections:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView

return number of rows for the requested section

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

return correct cell by reading both indexPath.row and indexPath.section

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

So for red you would look for a cell request that has indexPath.section equal to 0 and indexPath.row equal to 0. blue would be indexPath.section equal to 1 and indexPath.row equal to 0

Sorry, afraid not. There should be enough here to figure it out. Take a look at a couple UITableView tutorials if you need to understand the basics of table programming. – Dancreek Jun 23 '11 at 19:24

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 2; // This returns 2 sections
}

Updated: In the cellForRowAtIndexPath

NSInteger section = [IndexPath section];

if  (section == 0)

  // write your code for red here

if  (section == 1)

  // write your code for blue here

yes ? So you want 2 sections. 1 section should be red, other 1 should be blue right ? – Legolas Jun 23 '11 at 19:14
