The following method will return a two letter code of which language is set on the iOS device in question: NSString *myLanguage = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0]; There’s a list of language codes on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes Note that to compare the current value against a list of languages you support we need use the isEqualToString method. Here’s […]

tableView:numberOfSectionsInTableView
tableView:numberOfRowsInSection
tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath
The UITableView implements a header and a footer when you’re using the tableView:titleForHeaderInSection method (tableView:titleForFooterInSection respectively). However when the header (or the footer) is displayed you can’t change the font or colour of your text. You can however implement the following methods in your table view delegate and create a custom UILabel object for the […]
Each table view cell has an accessory type on the right. You can check which one should be shown by default in Interface Builder (those are none, tick box (aka checkmark), disclosure and detail disclosure chevrons). You can however use your own graphics in this place. All we need to do is add our own […]
