Displaying two sections of specific size in a table view - objective-c

Question

I am trying to fill a table view with an array, but I want two sections, and in the first section I want to display the imformation from indexpath.row == 0 to indexpath.row == 4 and in the second section the information from indexpath.row == 5 to indexpath.row == 9. How can I do that? I have this code for the second section:
if (indexPath.section == 1){
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"LazyTableCell";
static NSString *PlaceholderCellIdentifier = #"PlaceholderCell";
int nodeCount = [self.entries count];
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
if (nodeCount > 0)
{
if (indexPath.row > 4) {
AppRecord *appRecord = [self.entries objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = appRecord.artist;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = appRecord.appName;
if (!appRecord.appIcon)
{
if (self.tableView.dragging == NO && self.tableView.decelerating == NO)
{
[self startIconDownload:appRecord forIndexPath:indexPath];
}
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Placeholder.png"];
}
else
{
UIImage *image = appRecord.appIcon;
CGSize itemSize = CGSizeMake(83.0, 48.0);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(itemSize);
CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 83.0, 48.0);
[image drawInRect:imageRect];
appRecord.appIcon = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
cell.imageView.image = appRecord.appIcon;
}
}
return cell;
}
}

Answer 1

set the number of section in this function
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 2;
}
Perhaps you also want to implement
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return #"section title";
}
set the number of lines in the following function
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 5; // since you have 0-4 and 5-9 for the two sections
}
after seeing in your code [self.entries objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
I assumed self.entries is the one array that you have been talking about.
You can initialize the UITableViewCell property in
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
by using a combination of section and row to get the index of your self.entries, probably something like
AppRecord *appRecord = [self.entries objectAtIndex:indexPath.row+5*indexPath.section];
I hope i got your question right.
