java中setAccessory_iPhone Programming: Set UITableView Accessory Arrow Style

The iPhone SDK provides an easy-to-code standard for creating

consistent user interfaces. The UITableView class is used in many

iPhone applications. Most applications that present information to you

in rows that you can tap to slide a new page over to see details use a

UITableView to do the magic. Once you have a UITableView setup, you can

easily add the little accessory arrow icons to the right side of the

table cells by following the steps in this Tech-Recipe.

At this point, you need to have a working UITableView-based application.

If you aren’t at this point, you’ll need to take a few steps back and

check with the official Apple iPhone SDK documentation.

The simplest case is adding an accessory icon to the right of all

cells in the table. To do this, edit the source file of the table view

you want to change and add the following method:

- (UITableViewCellAccessoryType)tableView:(UITableView *)tv accessoryTypeForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

{

return UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;

}

Yeah, that’s a keyboard-full, but it’s not that bad. Because your

table view class is the delegate of your actual table view, implementing

this method of the UITableViewController class will automatically

affect the cells in your table. No other changes are needed to make this

work. Very cool.

If you don’t want to show the accessory image for every cell in the

table, you’ll need to implement some logic in this method that takes the

NSIndexPath parameter (which tells you which row in which section is

being asked about) and responds appropriately.

There are three standard accessory images that can be used by this

method. Each image is shown below with the matching

UITableViewCellAccessoryType (the example uses shows a Disclosure

indicator image because it returns

UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator.

Disclosure indicator

UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator

Used to indicate that tapping the cell will slide in a new table view one level down in the hierarchy.

Detail disclosure button

UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton

This button indicates that tapping the cell will reveal a detail view of that item.

Checkmark

UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark

Indicates that a row has been selected by the user.

Nothing

UITableViewCellAccessoryNone

This is the default value for the cell accessory indicating that no accessory should be shown.

This isn’t a brain surgery level Tech-Recipe and this information is,

of course, covered in the official documentation, but I keep forgetting

the method name and knew it would be easier to lookup here than in the

docs. I hope someone else finds it helpful, too.
