<Create a single table view application (with plist)>

Step#1 - Create a new project with Master-Detailed Application Template

Follow iOS7 > Lesson#13b - Single Table View Application but use .plist to store the array objects.

---

Step#2 - Editing TableViewMasterViewController.m

Edit the array object in method viewDidLoad with course.plist

TableViewMasterViewController.m (viewDidLoad)

---

Step#3 - Run & Compile

You can see the table view contents from plist.

iOS7 > Lesson#16 - Single Table View Application

Background

In this lesson, we will learn:

• Create a single table view application (with Master-Detailed Template)

---

Step#1 - Create a new project with Master-Detailed Application Template

To create a new Xcode project name "TableView" with a "Master-Detailed Application" template.

Master-Detail Application Template

Save project name as "TableView"

project file structure

default storyboard

---

Step#2 - Run & Compile

Master scene

Add a new record (row) by clicking the add button "+" in the right of navigation bar

Clicking the Edit button in the left of navigation bar  so that "-" icon will be shown in the left of each record (row)

Clicking the "Delete" button in the right of specific record (row) to confirm the deletion

---

Step#3 - Storyboard

Change the Master Title in storyboard

---

Step#4 - Edit xxxMasterViewController.h

TableViewMasterViewController.h

---

Step#5 - Edit xxxMasterViewController.m

1. To import #import "TableViewDetailViewController.h" in TableViewMasterViewController.m, so that all variable objects declared in Detail class can be viewed in Master class.

2. To declare a NSMutableArray object named "*_objects" in @interface of .m class.

* Notes:

The variable declaration in @interface of .m class is as same as that declared in .h class. The only difference between two ways is no need to code @synthesize in .m class when those variables declared in @interface of .m class and cannot be called by other ViewController classes.

3. To hardcode the array objects inside the method -(void)viewDidLoad of  TableViewMasterViewController.m class.

4. When the table is created, it will return the number of rows in sections from _objects.count.

TableViewMasterViewController.m (numberOfRowsInSection:)
