How do you populate a tableview with a class?

Question

I'm looking for a good example on how to populate a UITableView with a class that will also push data to multiple detailed view controllers. One would just be a simple "about" page, the other a mapview. Does anyone have a good example of this or know if it can be done?

Answer 1

This can certainly be done! Although you'll have to explain me what you mean by "pushing" data to view controllers.

• Usually, you'll have a class implementing the UITableViewDataSource Protocol to supply data to a UITableView.
• Another (or the same!) class would implement the UITableViewDelegate Protocol to tell the table view how to behave and how to look.
• Make sure to go through this guide about programming table view in iOS for an overview of the process.
• This whole delegation pattern ( discussed here ) is also useful to work with MKMapView .

For a start, you can look into this example from the iOS Developer Library : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/CurrentAddress/Introduction/Intro.html
