Using Table views in cocos2d?

zardon · August 2012

I'm trying to get table views to work with cocos2d. I can get the basic vanilla table view to display, scroll, etc; however my main issue is that I have no idea how to integrate sprites, draw my own tables, use my cocos2d nodes (like bitmap fonts).

I've looked on the forum and there seems to be a plethoria of table view 3rd party extensions, some of which do not work or are not completed or do not have the same functionality as Apple UI Kit.

Thus, how do you integrate cocos2d with table views, and include ccnodes like bitmap fonts, or other cocos2d assets to your table views?

Thanks

Try with this :)

#import "ObjectTableView.h"
#import "objectCell.h"
#import "CCTableViewCell.h"

@implementation ObjectTableView
-(id)init {
if((self = [super init])){
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [NSAutoreleasePool new];
CGSize winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
CGSize cSize = CGSizeMake(64,64);
buildObjects = [[CCTableView tableViewWithDataSource:self size:CGSizeMake(winSize.width, cSize.height)] retain];
buildObjects.direction = CCScrollViewDirectionHorizontal;
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:@"sprites.plist"];
buildObjects.position = ccp(0.0,0.0);
[self addChild:buildObjects z:1];
[buildObjects reloadData];
[pool drain];
}
return self;
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark TableView Delegate
-(void)table:(CCTableView *)table cellTouched:(CCTableViewCell *)cell {
CCLOG(@"cell touched at index: %i", cell.idx);
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark TableView DataSource

-(Class)cellClassForTable:(CCTableView *)table {
return [objectCell class];
}
-(CCTableViewCell *)table:(CCTableView *)table cellAtIndex:(NSUInteger)idx {
CCTableViewCell *cell;
NSString *spriteName;
CCSprite *sprite;
idx = idx%5;
cell = [table dequeueCell];
spriteName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"cell%i.png", idx%10];
sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:spriteName];
if (!cell) {
cell = [[objectCell new] autorelease];
}
cell.node = sprite;

return cell;
}
-(NSUInteger)numberOfCellsInTableView:(CCTableView *)table {
return 100;
}
-(void) dealloc {
[buildObjects release];
[super dealloc];
[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] removeUnusedSpriteFrames];
}
@end

Thanks :)

Thanks! I will try it, I never ever got anyone from the cocos2d board to help me, and everyone else I talked to said they used a route which sounded very confusing! But I will try your idea!

Howdy, Stranger!
