Method Detail

numberOfSectionsInTableView

default long numberOfSectionsInTableView(@NotNull
                                         @NotNull UITableView tableView)

Default is 1 if not implemented

sectionIndexTitlesForTableView

@Nullable
default @Nullable NSArray<java.lang.String> sectionIndexTitlesForTableView(@NotNull
                                                                           @NotNull UITableView tableView)

return list of section titles to display in section index view (e.g. "ABCD...Z#")

tableViewCanEditRowAtIndexPath

default boolean tableViewCanEditRowAtIndexPath(@NotNull
                                               @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                               @NotNull
                                               @NotNull NSIndexPath indexPath)

Individual rows can opt out of having the -editing property set for them. If not implemented, all rows are assumed to be editable.

tableViewCanMoveRowAtIndexPath

default boolean tableViewCanMoveRowAtIndexPath(@NotNull
                                               @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                               @NotNull
                                               @NotNull NSIndexPath indexPath)

Allows the reorder accessory view to optionally be shown for a particular row. By default, the reorder control will be shown only if the datasource implements -tableView:moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:

tableViewCellForRowAtIndexPath
```
@NotNull
@NotNull UITableViewCell tableViewCellForRowAtIndexPath(@NotNull
                                                        @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                                        @NotNull
                                                        @NotNull NSIndexPath indexPath)
```
Row display. Implementers should *always* try to reuse cells by setting each cell's reuseIdentifier and querying for available reusable cells with dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: Cell gets various attributes set automatically based on table (separators) and data source (accessory views, editing controls)

tableViewCommitEditingStyleForRowAtIndexPath

default void tableViewCommitEditingStyleForRowAtIndexPath(@NotNull
                                                          @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                                          long editingStyle,
                                                          @NotNull
                                                          @NotNull NSIndexPath indexPath)

After a row has the minus or plus button invoked (based on the UITableViewCellEditingStyle for the cell), the dataSource must commit the change Not called for edit actions using UITableViewRowAction - the action's handler will be invoked instead

tableViewMoveRowAtIndexPathToIndexPath

default void tableViewMoveRowAtIndexPathToIndexPath(@NotNull
                                                    @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                                    @NotNull
                                                    @NotNull NSIndexPath sourceIndexPath,
                                                    @NotNull
                                                    @NotNull NSIndexPath destinationIndexPath)

Data manipulation - reorder / moving support

tableViewNumberOfRowsInSection

long tableViewNumberOfRowsInSection(@NotNull
                                    @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                    long section)

tableViewSectionForSectionIndexTitleAtIndex

default long tableViewSectionForSectionIndexTitleAtIndex(@NotNull
                                                         @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                                         @NotNull
                                                         @NotNull java.lang.String title,
                                                         long index)

tell table which section corresponds to section title/index (e.g. "B",1))

tableViewTitleForFooterInSection

@Nullable
default @Nullable java.lang.String tableViewTitleForFooterInSection(@NotNull
                                                                    @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                                                    long section)

tableViewTitleForHeaderInSection

@Nullable
default @Nullable java.lang.String tableViewTitleForHeaderInSection(@NotNull
                                                                    @NotNull UITableView tableView,
                                                                    long section)

fixed font style. use custom view (UILabel) if you want something different
