awesome! Thx for the straightforward tutorial, it saved me a lot of time.

I came across one problem: In my app, I need to dynamically show and hide 5 cells I created as exposed. That’s no problem using the “hidden” property of the cells, however, I need this behaviour animated. So what I’ve tried to do first of all instead of hiding is deleting the cells like this:

[fooTable deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:fooIndexPath]] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];

This results in the following exception:

‘Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 0. The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (3) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (5), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (0 inserted, 1 deleted).’

I’m not sure if this has something to do with the dataSource which should probably be updated as well, but… how?

Thanks for any suggestions!

cheers,
Sascha

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *tvcSection = nil;
int iSection = (int)[indexPath section];
switch (iSection) {
case 0: tvcSection = cellOne;
break;
case 1: tvcSection = cellTwo;
break;
}
return tvcSection;
}

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 2;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return 1;
}

Any suggestions?

this is a very simple to understand tutorial. It was really helpful.
Thank you for that

> Where do you drop them in? Into the rows in the tableView?
You drop them into the XIB itself at the same level as the main UIView in there, as per the 2nd screenshot.

> How do you “open” a cell up?
Double click on it.

Good idea.

This was just a very quick tutorial – it’s not part of the remit of this site that I provide “good” tutorials, I just try to help out others with what I’ve found out myself. Apologies if the tutorial wasn’t to the standard you’d hoped.

Just “wishing” that your screen looks like my screen… is useless.

Where do you drop them in? Into the rows in the tableView?

> Then, open each table view cell item and drop something

How do you “open” a cell up?

You *SHOULD*… but you didn’t.
