2 UITableView with different Custom Cells

Question

I need to use two tableview in a view. Also i need to create these tables with custom cells.

I tried something but i could not see even simple string in my table's cell.

What's wrong here?

Here is my updated code;

I have still problems, i am taking invalid argument exception [LastVisitOrder superview]: unrecognized selector sent to instance .Since i have changed uiview to uiview controller.

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
 {
self.view = [super initWithFrame:frame];

if (self) {


    self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);


    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.8]];




    UIView *popup = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.view.frame.size.width-860)/2,(self.view.frame.size.height-570)/2, 860, 570)];

    [popup setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"popup_bckgrnd"]]];

    [self.view addSubview:popup];


    UILabel *customerName = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 300, 30)];
    [customerName setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [customerName setText:@"Beşiktaş Eczanesi"];
    [customerName setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldMT" size:18]];

    [popup addSubview:customerName];


    UILabel *customerDetail = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 70, 300, 30)];
    [customerDetail setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [customerDetail setText:@"Tel: 231 213 23 23 Bla bla cad. Bla bla Sok. Bla bla Apt. No:Bla Blastan/Bistanbul"];

Answer 1

This is an elegant way to do that I use all the time.. Here's only working on create multiples custom cells, there aren't any code for calculate the height of the cells.

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

    /*
       Call a function to create all custom cells.
       Send the tableview and the indexPath to this function.
       So, your code will be clean and easy to read an maintenance =D
       DON'T forget to change the height of each cell
    */
    if (indexPath.row < 3)
        return [self createACustomCell1:tableView indexPath:indexPath];
    else
        return [self createACustomCell2:tableView indexPath:indexPath];

}


//*************
//  Create CUSTOM CELL 2
//*************
-(UITableViewCell *)createACustomCell1:(UITableView *)anTableView indexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    static NSString *CUSTOMCELL_1  = @"CUSTOMCELL_1";

    CustomCell_1 *cell = [anTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CUSTOMCELL_1];
    if (!cell){
    [anTableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:CUSTOMCELL_1
                                          bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:CUSTOMCELL_1];
        cell = [anTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CUSTOMCELL_1];
    }

    // Cell customization above 
    return cell;
}


//*************
//  Create CUSTOM CELL 2
//*************
-(UITableViewCell *)createACustomCell2:(UITableView *)anTableView indexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    static NSString *CUSTOMCELL_2  = @"CUSTOMCELL_2";

    CustomCell_2 *cell = [anTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CUSTOMCELL_2];
    if (!cell){
    [anTableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:CUSTOMCELL_2
                                          bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:CUSTOMCELL_2];
        cell = [anTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CUSTOMCELL_2];
    }

    // Cell customization above


    return cell;
}

Answer 2

Use cell = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"VisitDateCell" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];

Instead of cell = [[[VisitDateCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];

Then use cell.textLabel.text = @"YOUR_TEXT";

UPDATE!

For having access to your variable date you need to create it global in VisitDateCell.h.Like: @property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *date;

Then it your TableView to achieve the access use: (VisitDateCell*)cell.date = @"YOUR TEXT";

You don't need in your custom method setText. Just use this code in cellForRows.

Hope it will help!

Answer 3

In your datasource methods you need to distinguish between the two tables.

//cellForRowAtIndexPath

if (tableView == medSalesTable) {
   // configure the first table
}
else {
   // configure the second table
   // use a different cell identifier
}

Make sure you do this also in numberOfRowsInSection, and numberOfSectionsInTableView if necessary. This assumes that you set both table views datasource property to the controller.
