How can I show an empty view in place of a UITableView?

I have a UITableViewController. When a certain BOOL is set, I want to show another view instead of the UITableView. How can I do this? I need to be able to bring the UITableView back also.

I implemented the following method in my Table view controller subclass to reload its background.

- (void)reloadBackground
{

        if(myBool)
        {

    //load the view to be displayed from a nib        
    NSArray* nibs = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"EmptyView" owner:self options:nil];
            UIView* emptyView = [nibs objectAtIndex:0];
            self.tableView.backgroundView = emptyView;
            self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
        }
        else
        {
            self.tableView.backgroundView = nil;
            self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
        }

}

HTH,

Use a UIView instead if UITableViewController.... from .h file change UITableViewController to UIViewController Connect view to Files owner from xib

take UITableView in a UIView... take another UIView for a blank view and set its background color as Tableview color

If your bool if true then show tableview and hide blank View else hide tableview show blank view

Possibly something like:

if (myBool == YES) {

 UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460)];
 [self.view addSubview:myView];

}

Now to get rid of it:

[myView removeFromSuperview];

Of course there are plenty of other methods...

Even: self.view = myView;

Instead of a UITableViewController, you can put two views inside a UIViewController:

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate> {
   UITableView *tableView;
   UIWebView *anotherView;
}

...

if (someBool) {
   tableView.hidden = YES;
   anotherView.hidden = NO;
} else {
   tableView.hidden = NO;
   anotherView.hidden = YES;
}

How about..

if(myBOOL == YES) {

   ADifferentViewController * vc = (ADifferentViewController *)[[ADifferentViewController alloc]init];
   [self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:NO];
   [vc release];

}
