I have a simple tableview that's displaying a NSMutableArray, but when a item is added I need to do a [self.tableView reloadData];
How do I make the UITableView to update when the array is updated, like if I use the CoreData (NSFetchedResultControlerDelegate i think it is that does the updates).
Or do I need to accept the reloadData call on everyplace that's updating the array?
Try the following code
// adding new data to array.
[mArray addObject:@"abc"];
// Figure out where that item is in the array
int lastRow = [mArray count]-1;
// Create the corresponding index path
NSIndexPath *ip = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:lastRow inSection:0];
// Insert this new row into the table
[[self tableView] insertRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:ip]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
Note :
The important thing to keep in mind when using insertRowsAtIndexPaths is that your UITableViewDataSource needs to match what the insert is telling it to do. If you add a row to the tableview, make sure the backing data is already updated to match.
