UITableViewController Grouped Property Not Working - objective-c

Question

I have two UITableViewControllers. In the first UITableView, once a user selects a cell, a new UITableViewController is pushed. I have set both UITableViews to "Grouped" in IB. However, when the second UITableViewController is pushed, it appears as a "Plain" UITableView. Is there a way to fix this?
Just as a sanity check, I changed the code so that the second UITableViewController is pushed not from the first UITableViewController, and it does appear to be "Grouped". Is there a reason this is happening?
Code From UITableViewController that is pushing second UITableViewController:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if ([cell.text isEqualToString:#"Long Term Disability"]) {
LongDisabilityTableView *ldvc = [LongDisabilityTableView alloc];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ldvc animated:YES];
}
if ([cell.textLabel.text isEqualToString:#"Short Term Disability"]) {
ShortDisabilityTableView *sdvc = [ShortDisabilityTableView alloc];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:sdvc animated:YES];
}
}

Answer 1

If you are pushing to a UITableViewController, you can force the table to be grouped by doing one of the following:
Init
MyTableController *grouped = [[MyTableController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
Super
This needs to be added to a UITableViewController.
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped]; /* This is where the magic happens */
if (self) {
self.title = #"My Grouped Table";
}
return self;
}
Double Check
Make sure that you are not placing your UITableView on a UIViewController.
Make sure that you are calling the correct controller in your code (from didSelectRowAtIndexPath:)
Update, added after code
Well there's one reason right there, you aren't using init. See my first example above.
You should also change your code to this:
/* This assumes that your Long Term Disability cell is at index 0
and that your Short Term Disability cell is at index 1.
*/
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
switch ( indexPath.row )
{
case 0: /* #"Long Term Disability" */
LongDisabilityTableView *ldvc = [[LongDisabilityTableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ldvc animated:YES];
break;
case 1: /* #"Short Term Disability" */
ShortDisabilityTableView *sdvc = [[ShortDisabilityTableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:sdvc animated:YES];
break;
}
}
