I am very new to mac app development. so just doing some practical exercise.
I want to create a tableview which display data from my plist file.
I have one windowcontroller class and window controller.xib file.
I drag and drop NSTableView to the .xib file.
and using this code to load plist file
- (void)windowDidLoad
{
[super windowDidLoad];
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *path = [bundle pathForResource:#"tenth" ofType:#"plist"];
file = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
}
Now what should i do for displaying rows in my tableview??
Which method i have to use? and how??
like in IOS development we are using
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
NSArray *temp = [file objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [temp objectAtIndex:0];
return cell;
}
You can use either bindings with an NSArrayController or implement the NSTableViewDataSource protocol.

I have a tableview populated by objects loaded from NSUserDefaults.
Specifically - when a user presses a button in one view controller, a string is loaded into NSUserDefaults, which is then loaded into an array, which finally populates a table view.
I am wondering how I can load an image in each tableview cell, dependent on what string is loaded from NSUserDefaults?
I don't want to save images IN NSUserDefaults, as I am aware this is not a good idea.
What can I do?
Thank you for your time (and helping a novice out)!
Update 19FEB13
The Strings I am loading into NSUserDefaults are the names of objects, for example "ARCX".
At the moment I have tried a variety of pieces of code, but I am at the point where I seem to have a misunderstanding/lack of knowledge (or both).
UITableViewCell *XCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:IndexPath];
NSString *content = Xcell.textLabel.text;
if ([content isEqualToString:#"ARCX"]) [UIImage *Image = [UIImage imageNamed #"ARCX.png"]];
Obviously I'm getting errors from this code.
I hope you can help!

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *string = [myOBJArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"XCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
UIView *cellbackground = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
cellbackground.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"MSP cell bg MK2.png"]];
cell. backgroundView = cellbackground;
}
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor ];
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:24.0];
cell.textLabel.text = string;
UITableViewCell *XCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *content = XCell.textLabel.text;
if ([content isEqualToString:#"ARCX"]) [UIImage *Image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"ARCX.png" ]];
cell.imageView.image = Image;
return cell;
}
I did have the code I initially posted in the CellForRowAtIndexPath, but I know I am missing something in the implementation (obviously as it doesn't work!).
Thanks for your time!
Update 19Feb13
I This is my current CellForRowAtIndexPath. No errors, but yet no images in my cells. What am I missing?
Have I got to add an image view? I am currently using a 'basic' cell, not a custom one.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *string = [myObjArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"MSCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
UIView *cellbackground = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
cellbackground.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"MSP cell bg MK2.png"]];
cell. backgroundView = cellbackground;
}
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor ];
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:24.0];
cell.textLabel.text = string;
if ([string isEqualToString:#"ARCX"])
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"ARCX.png"];
else if ([string isEqualToString:#"WPX"])
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"WPX.png"];
return cell;
}
Thanks for your time!
UITableViewCell *XCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *content = XCell.textLabel.text;
Please remove this piece of code, as it will call cellForRowAtIndexPath again and again.
You already have the image name as string
NSString *string = [myOBJArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
So change the code like below.
if ([string isEqualToString:#"ARCX"])
UIImage *Image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"ARCX.png"];
cell.imageView.image = Image;
In my app I am trying to navigate to a new View from a TableViewCell, But i dont know how. Could you help guys? I am using Xcode 4.6. and .xib, no storyboard. I am very new to coding so please explain it as simple as possible! Here is what i have tried, please correct me:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
tableData = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"aaoversikt1", #"Paul", #"George", #"Ringo", nil];
[super viewDidLoad];
UILabel *nav_title1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 10, 220, 25)];
nav_title1.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial-BoldMT" size:18];
nav_title1.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
nav_title1.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
nav_title1.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
nav_title1.text = #"Ålesund";
nav_title1.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.navigationItem.titleView = nav_title1;
}

[self.navigationController pushViewController:aaoversikt1 animated:YES];
}
Thank You!
From first glance I would say that the problem lies within your [self.navigationController pushViewController] method. Have you initiated a navigation controller in your app either in the app delegate or root view controller?
If not i would recommend:
[self presentViewController:aaoversik1 animated:YES completion:NULL];
If you are wanting to push through the navigation stack so that you have a back button then I would look at implementing a UINaviationController.
Otherwise you can create a custom back button and use the same method in this post to present the root view controller (not totally recomended as using UINavigationController is much cleaner).
Let me know if this has been of any help, T
I am trying to parse text with images in the UITableView and I can only see the text for every line but I can't see the images.
Here is my code;
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.anaTablo dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
UILabel *textBaslik = (UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:3];
UIImage *imagePic = (UIImage *) [cell viewWithTag:7];
textBaslik.text =[titleArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
imagePic.images = [imageArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
but it didn't works and after searching I have tried this to;
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
UILabel *textBaslik = (UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:3];
UIImage *imagePic = (UIImage *) [cell viewWithTag:7];
textBaslik.text =[titleArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *str1 = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#", imageArray];
NSData *bgImageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:str1];
UIImage *img1 = [UIImage imageWithData:bgImageData];
imagePic = [img1 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell
}
Am I doing something wrong? I am kind new to Xcode
Thanks from now.
I check you code and i change the following
NSString *str1 = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#", imageArray];
NSData *bgImageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:str1];
UIImage *img1 = [UIImage imageWithData:bgImageData];
imagePic = [imageArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.imageView.image=imagePic;
in the delegate method
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Now a new error appear, check it

I'm working with the google YouTube API, and I'm using this code found here http://pastebin.com/vmV2c0HT
The Code that slows things down is this one here
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
When I remove that code it scrolls smoothly. Any idea on how I can go about having it load the images from google but still scroll smoothly? I've read some of the answers on loading images in a different way, but I still can't figure out how I'll make that work with the code I'm using.
Any help will be appreciated.

GCD is a wonderful thing. Here is what I do:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"youTubeCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell.
GDataEntryBase *entry = [[feed entries] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *title = [[entry title] stringValue];
NSArray *thumbnails = [[(GDataEntryYouTubeVideo *)entry mediaGroup] mediaThumbnails];
cell.textLabel.text = title;
// Load the image with an GCD block executed in another thread
dispatch_queue_t downloadQueue = dispatch_queue_create("image downloader", NULL);
dispatch_async(downloadQueue, ^{
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[[thumbnails objectAtIndex:0] URLString]]];
UIImage * image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
cell.imageView.image = image;
cell.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
[cell setNeedsLayout];
});
});
dispatch_release(downloadQueue);
return cell;
}
Scrolling is now super smooth. The only drawback is that when you scroll quickly, cells are re-used and sometimes the images change as new ones come in.
I just wrote a small application that read from a site feed and display in UITableViewCell. I am using custom view cell and my UITableView is screwed in scrolling like it is not very smooth in scrolling upside down. Any idea? Here's the code for my UITableViewCell,
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"CustomCell";
CustomCell *cell = (CustomCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
// cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"CustomCell" owner:nil options:nil];
for(id currentObject in topLevelObjects) {
if([currentObject isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
cell = (CustomCell *) currentObject;
break;
}
}
}
//MiceAppDelegate *AppDelegate = (MiceAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
if(dataArray != nil) {
//
//NSArray *promoArray = (NSArray *) promotions;
NSDictionary *datadict = [self.dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *url = [datadict objectForKey:#"imageUrl"];
NSString *title = [datadict objectForKey:#"title"];
NSString *description = [datadict objectForKey:#"description"];
NSString *newAddressPartOfURL = [url stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" " withString:#"+"];
//NSLog([url stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]);
NSURLResponse *urlResponse;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:newAddressPartOfURL]] returningResponse:&urlResponse error:nil];
// Configure the cell.
UIImage *urlImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data];
// NSLog(#"%i",[imageView.image topCapHeight]);
cell.title.text = title;
cell.description.text = description;
cell.image.image = urlImage;
[urlImage release];
}
return cell;
}
Doing synchronous downloads as your cells are being drawn is definitely going to cause some unsmooth scrolling. You could try to replace those with asynchronous calls, and filling in the data with a generic object while the download is happening. When the download completes, then call reloadData on your tableview.
afaik the dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier method is called as cells get flush etc. Build your data / do the requests on init, not in the cell creation!
