Under the Bridge

Here’s a couple useful discussions on UITableView for you:

Resizing a UITableViewCell to Hold Variable Amounts of Text

In part one, I demonstrated how to use a UITextView and a UITableViewCell to create a field for users to enter large amounts of text. After the text is saved, I’d like to display that text in a different table. The problem is I don’t know the height of the text. I’ll tackle that problem now…

Organizing a complex UITableView by using a dispatch table

One problem with the table view is that the controller class tends to get very large and complex, especially if you have a multiple section table view that has different types of custom cells and behaviors … I’ve developed a technique that can make use of this technique but that goes beyond it by allowing you to delegate the handling of each section in a table view to its own class. It is also easily configurable if you need to add or remove a section type from your controller later, and allows you to localize your changes so that you don’t have to remember to modify code in several places.

Good stuff!
