R – How to make the first table view in a navigation view controller grouped

iphoneuinavigationcontrolleruitableview

I want the first view in my UINavigation Controller grouped, but I can't see where to initWithStyle as UITableViewStyleGrouped.

My MainWindow.xib is set up like:

File's Owner (Outlets: delegate-Test App Delegate)

First Responder

Test App Delegate (Class: TestAppDelegate) (Outlets: navController-Navigation Controller, testListController-Test List Table View, window-Window, delegate-File's Owner)

Window (Outlets: window-Test App Delegate)

Navigation Controller (Class: Navigation Controller) (Outlets: navController-Test App Delegate)

-Navigation BAr

-Test List Table View Controller (Class:TestListTableViewController) (Outlets:testListController-Test App Delegate)

— Naviagtion Item (Class: UINavigationItem)

The code:

// TestAppDelegate.h
@class TestListTableViewController;

@interface TestAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
    UIWindow *window;
    TestListTableViewController *testListController;
    UINavigationController *navController;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet TestListTableViewController *testListController;
@property (nonatomic, readonly) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navController;

@end


// TestAppDelegate.m
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
    [window addSubview:navController.view];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
} // etc

Open up IB, select the Table View within Test List Table View Controller (Class:TestListTableViewController) and in the Inspector window, go to the Attributes (first) tab and change the style from Plain to Grouped

All you have to do is set the selection style on the UITableViewCell instance using either:

Objective-C:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

or

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];

Swift 2:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None

Swift 3 and 4.x:

cell.selectionStyle = .none

Further, make sure you either don't implement -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: in your table view delegate or explicitly exclude the cells you want to have no action if you do implement it.

R – UINavigationController doesn’t work in a the moreNavigationController of a UITabBarController

Short answer: you cannot nest navigation controllers

Longer answer: you are doing it wrong. A better way to create what you want goes like this:

NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [NSMutableArray array];

[viewControllers addObject:[[[ConverterViewController alloc] init] autorelease]];
[viewControllers addObject:[[[UINavigationController alloc]
                             initWithRootViewController:[[[CurrencyViewController alloc] init] autorelease]] autorelease]];
[viewControllers addObject:[[[UINavigationController alloc]
                             initWithRootViewController:[[[HistoryViewController alloc] init] autorelease]] autorelease]];
[viewControllers addObject:[[[UINavigationController alloc]
                             initWithRootViewController:[[[SetupViewController alloc] init] autorelease]] autorelease]];
[viewControllers addObject:[[[UINavigationController alloc]
                             initWithRootViewController:[[[HelpViewController alloc] init] autorelease]] autorelease]];
[viewControllers addObject:[[[LinksViewController alloc] init] autorelease]];

self.viewControllers = viewControllers;
self.customizableViewControllers = [viewControllers arrayByRemovingFirstObject];


@implementation HelpViewController

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Initialization

- (id)init
{
    if ((self = [super initWithNibName:@"HelpView" bundle:nil]) != nil) {
        self.title = NSLocalizedString(@"Help", @"Help"); 
        self.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"question.png"];
    }

    return self;
}
