How do I add a UIButton or UISwitch in tableView:viewForFooterInSection - objective-c

Question

I'm trying to understand how to add a label with a UISwitch or other controller to a footer (or header) in a sectioned tableView. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Okay, after searching and working at it I've done the following:
// Need to refactor so that the label is Public Sharing and Priviate Sharing and the actions work for each switch
- (UIView *) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView
viewForFooterInSection: (NSInteger) section
{
if (section == 0 || section == 1) {
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
UIView* footerView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, screenRect.size.width, 44.0)] autorelease];
footerView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
footerView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
footerView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
footerView.hidden = NO;
footerView.multipleTouchEnabled = NO;
footerView.opaque = NO;
footerView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleToFill;
// Add the label
UILabel* footerLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(150.0, -5.0, 120.0, 45.0)];
footerLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
footerLabel.opaque = NO;
footerLabel.text = #"Sharing";
footerLabel.textColor = [UIColor tableHeaderAndFooterColor];
footerLabel.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor tableHeaderAndFooterColor];
footerLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17];
footerLabel.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
footerLabel.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
[footerView addSubview: footerLabel];
[footerLabel release];
// Add the switch
UISwitch* footerSwitch = [[UISwitch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(215.0, 5, 80.0, 45.0)];
[footerView addSubview: footerSwitch];
// Return the footerView
return footerView;
}
else return nil;
}
// Need to call to pad the footer height otherwise the footer collapses
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
switch (section) {
case 0:
case 1:
return 40.0;
default:
return 0.0;
}
}
I hope this is correct and if this helps anyone else please vote this up. Cheers!
