objective c - How can I insert row in a table?

Question

I'm new in objective-c. I have a tableView with 3 rows and 1 section. Can you help me how to add row with some text in a table by pressing button (addCity)?

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    m_bg.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[WeatherAppDelegate isNight]  ? @"SettingsBackNight.png" : @"SettingsBackDay.png" ];
    tableView.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
    m_scrollView.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
    [m_scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(tableView.frame.size.width, tableView.frame.size.height)];
    dataArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Moscow", @"London", @"Paris", nil];

}


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


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


- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *MyIdentifier = @"MyIdentifier";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];

    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
    }

    [cell.textLabel setText: [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    return cell;
}


-(IBAction)addCity:(id)sender
{
    [dataArray addObject:@"City"];
    NSArray *paths = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:[dataArray count]-1 inSection:1]];
    [[self tableView] insertRowsAtIndexPaths:paths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
    [tableView reloadData];
}

Answer 1

Your table must take its data from some source where you can add elements when needed. (say, NSMutableArray instance in your data source), then your methods will look like. For simplicity assume that you have dataArray containing NSStrings:

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

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


- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  static NSString *MyIdentifier = @"MyIdentifier";
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
  if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
  }
  [cell.textLabel setText: [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
  return cell;
}


-(IBAction)addCity:(id)sender
{
  [tableView beginUpdates];
  [dataArray addObject:@"City"];
  NSArray *paths = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:[dataArray count]-1 inSection:1]];
  [[self tableView] insertRowsAtIndexPaths:paths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
  [tableView endUpdates];
}
