iOS UI-表格控制器（UITableView）-基本使用

tableView的常见属性

cell的常见属性

一、一般情况

 #import "ViewController.h"

 @interface ViewController ()<UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate>

 @property (strong, nonatomic) UITableView *tableview;

 @property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *dataSource;

 @end

 /*
  UITableView
  表格视图：两个协议，两个代理，四个方法

  两个协议：
  1.数据源协议：（提供表格数据，提供表格内容）UITableViewDataSource
  2.执行代理协议：（提供表格操作方法）UITableViewDelegate
  */

 @implementation ViewController

 #pragma mark - LifeCircle
 - (void)viewDidLoad {
     [super viewDidLoad];

     [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor]];

     self.tableview = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(, , , ) style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];

     self.tableview.delegate = self;
     self.tableview.dataSource = self;

     [self.view addSubview:self.tableview];

     NSArray *arr1 = @[@"芃，你好1",@"芃，你好2",@"芃，你好3",@"芃，你好4",@"芃，你好5"];
     NSArray *arr2 = @[@"芃，你好6",@"芃，你好7",@"芃，你好8",@"芃，你好9"];
     self.dataSource = @[arr1,arr2];

 }

 #pragma mark - UITableViewDataSource
 //组数
 - (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
 {
     return [self.dataSource count];
 }

 //设置每组行数
 - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
     return [[self.dataSource objectAtIndex:section] count];
 }

 // 设置[每一个]单元格方法
 // 1.设置复用[单元格]ID
 // 2.设置复用
 // 3.创建单元格
 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
     // 1.设置复用[单元格]ID
     static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"cellIdentifier";
     // 2.设置复用
     UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
     // 3.创建单元格
     if (!cell) {
         cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
     }
     cell.textLabel.text = [[self.dataSource objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
     cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"1.jpg"];
     cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"张芃芃的信息";
     cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;

     return cell;
 }

 #pragma mark - UITableViewDelegate
 - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
     //拿到点击的那一行
     UITableViewCell *selectCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

     NSString *titleInRow = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",selectCell.textLabel.text];

 //    NSString *titleInRow = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[self.dataSource objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];

     UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"问候" message:titleInRow delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"你好" otherButtonTitles: nil];
     [alert show];
 }

 @end

二、通过加载plist文件显示分组数据

 #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

 @interface Group : NSObject
 //组标题
 @property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *title;
 //组描述
 @property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *desc;
 //汽车品牌信息
 @property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *cars;

 - (instancetype) initWithDict:(NSDictionary *)dict;
 + (instancetype) groupWithDict:(NSDictionary *)dict;

 @end

 #import "Group.h"

 @implementation Group

 - (instancetype)initWithDict:(NSDictionary *)dict
 {
     self = [super init];
     if (self) {
 //        self.title = dict[@"title"];
 //        self.desc = dict[@"desc"];
 //        self.cars = dict[@"cars"];
         [self setValuesForKeysWithDictionary:dict];
     }
     return self;
 }

 + (instancetype)groupWithDict:(NSDictionary *)dict
 {
     return [[self alloc] initWithDict:dict];
 }

 @end

 #import "ViewController.h"
 #import "Group.h"

 @interface ViewController ()<UITableViewDataSource>

 @property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *groups;
 @property (strong, nonatomic) UITableView *tableView;

 @end

 @implementation ViewController

 - (void)viewDidLoad {
     [super viewDidLoad];
     self.tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
     self.tableView.dataSource = self;
     [self.view addSubview:self.tableView];

 }

 #pragma mark - 数据源协议

 //设置组数
 - (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
 {
     return [self.groups count];
 }
 //设置每组行数
 - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
     Group *group = self.groups[section];
     return group.cars.count;

 }
 //设置每组每行内容
 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
     //1.设置复用单元格ID
     static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"cellIdentifier";
     //2.设置复用
     UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
     //3.创建单元格
     if (!cell) {
         cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
　　　　　　}

            // 3.1获取模型数据
         //获取模型
         Group *group = self.groups[indexPath.section];
         //获取对应的汽车品牌
         NSString *brand = group.cars[indexPath.row];
         // 3.2把模型中的数据设置给单元格中的子控件
         cell.textLabel.text = brand;

     return cell;
 }

 //组标题
 - (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
     Group *group = self.groups[section];
     return group.title;
 }
 //设置组尾
 - (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
     Group *group = self.groups[section];
     return group.desc;
 }

 #pragma mark - 懒加载
 - (NSArray *)groups
 {
     if (_groups == nil) {
         // 1.找到plist文件的路径
         NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"cars_simple.plist" ofType:nil];
         // 2.加载plist文件
         NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:path];
         // 3.字典转模型
         NSMutableArray *arrayModel = [NSMutableArray array];
         // 4.遍历字典数组中的每个字典，把每个字典转成模型，把模型放到arrayModel
         for (NSDictionary *tempDict in array) {
             //创建模型对象
             Group *model = [[Group alloc] initWithDict:tempDict];
             [arrayModel addObject:model];
         }
         _groups =arrayModel;

     }
     return _groups;
 }

 #pragma mark - 设置状态栏文字的颜色
 - (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
 {
     return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
 }

 #pragma mark - 隐藏状态栏
 - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
 {
     return YES;
 }

 - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
     [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
     // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
 }

 @end

三、通过加载plist文件展示单组数据

 #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

 @interface HMLOL : NSObject
 @property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *icon;
 @property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
 @property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *intro;

 - (instancetype)initWithDict:(NSDictionary *)dict;

 @end

     self = [super init];
     if (self) {
         [self setValuesForKeysWithDictionary:dict];
     }
     return self;
 }

 + (instancetype)lolWithDict:(NSDictionary *)dict {
     return [[self alloc] initWithDict:dict];
 }
 @end

 #import "ViewController.h"
 #import "HMLOL.h"
 @interface ViewController ()<UITableViewDataSource>
 @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
 // 存放所有模型数据
 @property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *heroes;
 @end

 @implementation ViewController

 - (void)viewDidLoad {
     [super viewDidLoad];

     // 1.设置数据源
     self.tableView.dataSource = self;
 }

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

 // 返回多少行
 - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
     return self.heroes.count;
 }

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
     // 1.创建cell
     UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:nil];

     // 2.取出模型中的数据设置给cell
     HMLOL *hero = self.heroes[indexPath.row];
     // cell内部显示内容的三个子控件
     cell.textLabel.text = hero.name;
     cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:hero.icon];
     cell.detailTextLabel.text = hero.intro;

     // 设置辅助视图的样式
 //    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
     // 设置自定义的辅助视图
 //    cell.accessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeContactAdd];
     // 3.返回给tabelView
     return cell;
 }

 #pragma mark - 懒加载
 - (NSArray *)heroes {
     if (_heroes == nil) {
         NSArray *dictArr = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"heros.plist" ofType:nil]];
         NSMutableArray *arrM = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:dictArr.count];
         for (NSDictionary *dict in dictArr) {
             HMLOL *hero = [HMLOL lolWithDict:dict];

         }
         _heroes = arrM;
     }
     return _heroes;
 }
 @end
