UITableView in a View controller by a UIViewController and not a UITableView

I have a View with lots of things inside it including buttons, a scroll view and a tableView (ipad app). I am controller this view with a viewController subclass but I don't know how to manage my tableView. I don't know where put the methods :

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

should I add them to my ViewController or should I create a new subclass of UITableViewController (and get them "for free") and set the dataSource and delegate of my tableView to that class when I create it programmatically?

I am storing the data I want to show in my appDelegate

.

Thank you so much, I got it. I was trying to create a tableView and then set it's datasource. In fact the easier way is to create a tableViewController and use it's .view property that is already linked to it and use the addSubview method to put it in the main viewController's view.

Cheers

You just have to set the UIViewController as the delegate and dataSource of your UITableView. That's it. You don't need to create a own subclass of UITableViewController for managing that tableView. So you can put all the subviews in the viewController's view.
