UITableView-分组表。 iOS（可可触控），Objective-C

Question

I found a tutorial for a UITableView – Drill down table view, source code , but I would like to add a little upgrade. My goal is to add grouped table view with 2 sections in level 0 (CurrentLevel == 0). So I started with:

1. Change table view style (at RootViewController.xib) from Plain to Grouped. (Works fine).

2. Changes at RootViewController.m:

   - (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView { return 1;

to

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
if(CurrentLevel == 0)    
    return 2;
else
    return 1;

3. Add new key to data.plist named: Other.

After that CurrentLevel 0 returns 2 sections with same data for objectForKey:@"Rows". I don't know hot to change

-(void)viewDidLoad, 
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section,
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

methods to load data from data.plist for my new key @"Other", where key @"Other" means 2nd section of the table in CurrentLevel 0 table view.

This is the source code for:

Answer 1

• Create a second array to hold the data for the second section
• Populate this array in viewDidLoad using your @"Other" key
• Use indexPath.section in the relevant datasource methods so that you know which section your table view is asking you about, and return the object / count of the relevant array. indexPath.section will be 0 for the first section and 1 for the second section.
• Wherever you are using tableDataSource , you need to check what section you are in. This is either passed in as an integer (section) or as part of the indexpath (so you can get it via indexPath.section). If you are in section 0, use tableDataSource, else if you are in section 1, use otherDataSource.
