You can use my library, UIGridView.

It is created with UITableView, in which UITableViewCell contains many cells inside.

Here is how it looks like:

I've done a grid by using a table view where I have basically faked it by adding subviews to a cell. So if you for example create a cell, add three subviews to it, you can then get the items you need by doing something like this when it asks you for a cell for a specific row:

// get the items for the row (a row is one cell)
NSArray *rowItems = nil;
int startIndex = indexPath.row * NumOfItemViewsPerRow;
if (startIndex + NumOfItemViewsPerRow < [items count]) {
    rowItems = [items subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange(startIndex, NumOfItemViewsPerRow)];
} else {
    rowItems = [items subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange(startIndex, [items count] - startIndex)];
}

Then just after that you can loop the subviews of your row something like this:

[cell.itemViews enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(MyItemView *itemView, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
    NSDictionary *item = [rowItems objectAtIndex:idx];
    itemView.titleLabel.text = [item valueForKey:@"title"];
};

It is a bit fiddly, but the upside is that you get row unloading for free from the table view, so you don't have to mess with your own custom grid views or anything like that.

Hope that helps.

No Yuvaraj.M we can't create. but you do something like multicolumn by adding component like label or image or button what u want or else using custom cell.

No it is not possible, in fact UITableView is badly named a represents a List more than a Table.

If you want to have multiple column, one method is to create specific cells, with multiple label, and pack your data by row then column.
