So far, we've created a TableView that, though totally usable and showing the names of our recipes from the XML feed, is a bit bland. To customize our table, we'll need to create and add custom TableRow
objects to an array of rows, which we can then assign to our TableView
object. Each of these TableRow
objects is essentially a type of view, to which we can add any number of components, such as Label, ImageView, and Button.
Next up, we'll create our TableRow
objects and add to each one the name of the recipe from our XML feed, the publication date, and a thumbnail image, which we'll get from the images
folder in our Resources
directory. If you do not have an images
directory already, create one now and copy the images from the source code for this chapter.
