Image table views

Question

Hi all,
I have a basic question about tableviews with user generated photos. I want to create a scrollable table view feed where each cell (the entire cell) is of an image that is uploaded by users, with a editable text box over the image in the tableview (much like the VEVO app tableview on the iphone).
Would I have to create a custom class for this UItableview, or is there already a template for this?

Answer 1

Where should i store the images
Store the image inside the project as 'Resources'.
And how should I place in the table
One method is to add the image by first drawing a CGRect and then placing the image inside...like this:
CGRect myImageRect = CGRectMake(18.0f, 13.0f, 172.0f, 42.0f);
UIImageView *myImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:myImageRect];
[myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"allrnd.png"]];
myImage.opaque = YES; // explicitly opaque for performance
self.view addSubview:myImage];
[myImage release];
If you have multiple images, repeat the code block and change the name if myImage to something unique and change the f values shown for placement as required.
Try to get the image as close as possible to the rect they will fill to avoid unnecessarily bloating the project/app size overall. In the example above, the image sits at 18 pixels from the left, 13 pixels down from the top and is 172 wide and 42 tall.
