谈到UITableViewDelegate不得不先从UITableViewDataSource说起

The UITableViewDataSource protocol is adopted by an object that

mediates the application’�s data model for a UITableView object. The

data source provides the table-view object with the information it needs

to construct and modify a table view.

Overview

As a representative of the data model, the data source supplies minimal information about the table view’s appearance. The table-view object’s delegate—an object adopting the UITableViewDelegate protocol—provides that information.

The required methods of the protocol provide the cells to be displayed by the table-view as well as inform the UITableView object about the number of sections and the number of rows in each section. The data source may implement optional methods to configure various aspects of the table view and to insert, delete, and reorder rows.

Note

To enable the swipe-to-delete feature of table views (wherein a user swipes horizontally across a row to display a Delete button), you must implement the tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath: method.

- tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:

Required. Asks the data source for a cell to insert in a particular location of the table view.

- numberOfSectionsInTableView:

Asks the data source to return the number of sections in the table view.

- tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:

Required. Tells the data source to return the number of rows in a given section of a table view.

- sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:

Asks the data source to return the titles for the sections for a table view.

- tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:atIndex:

Asks the data source to return the index of the section having the given title and section title index.

- tableView:titleForHeaderInSection:

Asks the data source for the title of the header of the specified section of the table view.

- tableView:titleForFooterInSection:

Asks the data source for the title of the footer of the specified section of the table view.

Inserting or Deleting Table Rows

- tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath:

Asks the data source to commit the insertion or deletion of a specified row in the receiver.

- tableView:canEditRowAtIndexPath:

Asks the data source to verify that the given row is editable.

Reordering Table Rows

- tableView:canMoveRowAtIndexPath:

Asks the data source whether a given row can be moved to another location in the table view.

- tableView:moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:

Tells the data source to move a row at a specific location in the table view to another location.

现在我们开始了解UITableViewDelegateO(∩_∩)O

UITableViewDelegate:The delegate of a UITableView object must adopt the UITableViewDelegate protocol. Optional methods of the protocol allow the delegate to manage selections, configure section headings and footers, help to delete and reorder cells, and perform other actions.

Overview:Many methods of the UITableViewDelegate protocol take NSIndexPath objects as parameters and return values. UIKit declares a category on NSIndexPath that enables you to get the represented row index (row property) and section index (section property), and to construct an index path from a given row index and section index (indexPathForRow:inSection: method). Because rows are located within their sections, you usually must evaluate the section index number before you can identify the row by its index number.
