Get Section´s Title In UITableView

I set all my titles´s section in my TableView.

Sometime later, i need to get the values of the title in any section´s tableview,

How can i ask that values directly to the UITableView?

Without the delegate protocol:

    [self tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:i]

Because this method overrides an protocol of my own class.

- (NSString *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
     /* If datasource methdod is implemented, get´s the name of sections*/
     SEL nameForSection = @selector(nameForSection:);
    if ( (self.dataSource) && [self.dataSource respondsToSelector:nameForSection] )
    {
       NSString *titleSection = [self.dataSource nameForSection:section];
       return titleSection;
   }

return nil;

}

Thanks Advance...

You can use the dataSource of the UITableView to get the section titles:

[tableView.dataSource tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];

If you're using the default dataSource (i.e. the UITableViewController), it'll return the section title as set in InterfaceBuilder.

Here's my code that duplicates a template view and sets the title appropriately. Note that I simply use the table's header view as a convenient spot to store my template and remove it on viewDidLoad in my UITableViewController subclass.

- (UIView*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    UIView* header = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:self.sectionHeaderTemplateView]];
    UILabel* label = ((UILabel*)header.subviews[0]);
    label.text = [tableView.dataSource tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];
    return header;
}

Start support from iOS6.0 and higher version

You can get it like this if you have indexPath:

UITableViewHeaderFooterView* header =[self.tableView headerViewForSection:indexPath.section];
NSLog(@"Header text = %@", header.textLabel.text);

Change it like this

header.textLabel.text= @"changed";

- (NSString *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
     /* If datasource methdod is implemented, get´s the name of sections*/
     SEL nameForSection = @selector(nameForSection:);
    if ( (self.dataSource) && [self.dataSource respondsToSelector:nameForSection] )
    {
       NSString *titleSection = [self.dataSource nameForSection:section];
       return titleSection;
   }

return nil;

Hum... Your DataSource have a DataSource ? The goal of the UITableView's dataSource is to be implemented by an other class, so self.datasource is not the datasource of UITableView !

This table view method will return the view for header and I think in your case it should be UILabel 

 - (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section

How did you set the sections's titles ? If you are overriding the tableView:titleForHeaderInSection: method from UITableViewDataSource, you can call it yourself to get title for a specific section. If you are overriding the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method from UITableViewDataSource, think about having an array containing all your labels, so that you can get label's title for a specific section.

Store the sections title in NSArray, and use this array to get the values of any section in table view.
