Hi! this is a great tutorial. Great job!!!

I was wondering if there is a way to load the UITable from a flat file.

Thanx for the tutorial Adeem!

I’ve got one question, what means the ‘static’ for the cell identifier? If I remove ‘static’ it does not seem to make any difference.

Keep up the good work

Yes, @Ben is right,
this fixes the problem that @Sling was having,
Also, just incase anyone knows.. why are we calling it arryData not arrayData?

Hi,
having an issue, followed everything correctly, but when I run the Application on the simulator it crashes and then tells me I have EXC_BAD_ACCESS, no errors, just that message.

I’ve checked all auto releases etc, but can’t find anything, help would be great.

You have been very thorough in your treatment of the TableView, however a TableView by itself is not of much use. It must eventually lead to something, I am assuming usually a DetailView.

Could you possibly add a tutorial on how to get your TableViews to Open DetailViews and how to populate those DetailViews with data, say for instance, an image of that item, a text box with text about that particular Item, and a Label of that item.

Cheers.

i think you missed this from the .m

Change

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

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [arryData count];
}

I am posting here because the new tutorial has no area to add, but can you explain how to extract info from a plist file. My plist looks something like this:

root Dictionary 32 Items
Apple Array 3 Items
Item0 String Red
Item1 Number 1
Item2 String Produce

I am looking to populate a NSNumber and NSStrings when they choose Apple. I hope I made sense, but there is not a lot out there on the file structure of plists and how to extract that data into my app.

Great tutorial, my first experience! Struggled a while though:
numberOfRowsInSection should return 4 at most in this case (this wasn’t mentioned, otherwise only one row will show), 5 and more would make the code stumble on the nil at the end of the array, so array.length or something similar should be used there. Also …ViewController.h defines the array as arryData when you copy it off the tutorial, same thing with arry in the viewDidLoad method.

Hopefully this helps someone else struggling and keep them from being discouraged. Remember, every good programmer’s strength is in the debugging.

Thnx Adeem

But the text does not match the video. The text that i should insert contains in the video some more after UIViewController and u type it between

so i guess the text explain is missing some code, right?
