How to form a grid using UITableview?

I am working on TV guide project, I want to know how to form a grid i.e I want to split the cells and construct it just like a grid. I know that I have to use UITableview, but I want to know how to do it.

If any one please provide the concept with sample project or code will be appreciated.

The Transporter iPhone app does this in a great way; you can check out their code on GitHub here.

Here's what the tableview looks like in their app:

I have implemented something like this before, my approach was to subclass UIScrollView and implement some custom view recycling and layout. It was pretty simple to implement, although things got a bit complicated when I started implementing animations. Basically, the idea is to override - (void)layoutSubviews with something like:

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

    CGRect visibleBounds = [self bounds];

    // calculate the range of visible views

    // recycle any no longer visible views

    // for any missing views, request them from the data source        
 }

You will need to implement your own data source and delegate protocols for whatever needs you have, mine were pretty simple.

You can use custom cells, each cell with some around 4 to 5 buttons based on your requirement.

I hope you have idea on creating custom table cells & using them.

providing code is bit clumsy thing here
