How to add switcher to UITableViewItem?

[Chris]

Hi
Is it possible to add switcher to each UITableViewItem?
Is there a reference manual on how to use each of the component?
By the way, this is a very good component to use!

please advise
Thanks
Chris

hi
when i run it on the iOS simulator in debug mode, it gave me an SIG ABORT (6) which i don know why. On release mode, the app started and closed immediately.
Should i run in on iOS device instead?

thanks

I am getting the same error.. but really, I like the TableViewCustomViewframe better as a demo..
using a custom frame in a table is a little tricky.. Took me a while and a little help to understand how to update the cache.. You will need some sort of array of sorts to keep track of the states.. (Unless you are only going to use the switch, and then you can just use the tag, which can be used as cargo)
Once you get it, you will love creating your own look to your tables.

Hi Gordon
Thanks for your advise. I will look into the TableViewCustomViewFrame demo.
Hope can have more sharing of information on using these components.
They are very good.

Thanks

No worries.. Feel free to contact me privately , I dont mind helping.. Babak helped me so much.. I want to share.
Im no expert, but have found my way around.. Worth all of the time.. I now, as of yesterday, have my app done.. not as pretty as Id liked.. but works well. Using KBMMW for all of my database stuff, and DPF.. Pretty dang cool!

Hi

This demo need cells.xml file in the Resources folder, may be this file not in deployment window or something else !

Regards

[Chris]

Hi Babak

For the demo on TableViewCustomCell, i modified the FormCreate to trap the error.

====== modified with try block ======
procedure TMainForm.FormCreate( Sender: TObject );
var
XmlDoc: TXMLDocument;
i : Cardinal;
begin
// load the xml file
XmlDoc := TXMLDocument.Create( self );
try
XmlDoc.DOMVendor := GetDOMVendor( 'ADOM XML v4' );
// XmlDoc.LoadFromFile( GetAppFolder( ) + 'cells.xml' );
XmlDoc.LoadFromFile('cells.xml');

// Store cells in IXMLNodeList
cells := XmlDoc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes['cells'].ChildNodes;

DPFUITableView1.Sections.Add;
// Insert the same quantity of tableitems than cell node in xml
for i := 0 to cells.Count - 1 do
  DPFUITableView1.Sections[0].TableItems.Add;

except
on E:Exception do
FMsg := e.Message;
end;
DPFTextView1.Text := Fmsg + ' ' + GetAppFolder();
end;

==================================

When the app is executed, the error is displayed "Cannot open file "/cells.xml". Not a directory. /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0.3/"

This is running on simulator. How can i deploy the cells.xml to /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0.3/ directory?

please advise

thanks
chris

Hi chris,

Go to menu: Project->Deployment you must be see cell.xml file in the list, delete this row and click Add files button, goto Resources folder and select cell.xml file, and press deploy button.

hi babak
I tried debugging the program. I found out that i do have the cells.xml
however, the error occurs in this function TMainForm.DPFUITableView1DrawCell

I removed the first 11 xml records (i.e. only <type>list</type> and <type>view</type> are left in the cells.xml)

These 2 types gave a SIGABRT(6) exception class.

please advise

thanks

Can you deploy cell.xml to Simulator or device ?

[Chris]

hi babak.
yup. the cell.xml is in the simulator and device.

I think it had problem in the function DrawCell for the this

<cell>
    <type>list</type>
    <text>
        <line>line 1</line>
        <line>line 2</line>
        <line>line 3</line>
        <line>line 4</line>
        <line>line 5</line>
    </text>
</cell>
<cell>
    <type>view</type>
    <text>My View</text>
</cell>

thanks
