Is there any way to reload the section header/footer of a table view without calling
[tableView reloadData];
?
In fact, I want to show the number of cells in a table view's section in its section footer. The table view is editable and I delete or insert rows using
– insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:
– deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:
It seems that these methods do not update the section footer. Strangely, when I call these methods the table view data-source method
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)table titleForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
is called (twice!) but it does not update the table view with the new values!!
Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?
I managed to do it in an indirect way: I created a UILabel and set it as section header/footer.
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// update sectionFooterView.text
return sectionFooterView;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
// create sectionFooterView in Interface Builder, change the frame here
// use Font-size:15 , BG-Color: clearColor , text-Color: RGB=(97,105,118)
// and Text-alignment:Center to look like table view's original footer
sectionFooterView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 10, 320, 12);
}
Does anyone know a way to do this without setting a custom footer view?
