Creating the CustomerListController

Create the customer list view.

The source files you added from the SUP_iOS_Custom_Dev_Tutorial_code.zip file contain the CustomerListController.h, CustomerListController.m, and CustomerListController.xib files that create the customer list view. To create these files manually in Xcode, you would create a new file using the UIViewController subclass template, then indicate it is a subclass of UITableViewController. Be sure to indicate With XIB for user interface.
  1. View the CustomerListController.h file.
  2. View the CustomerListController.m file.

    CustomerListController.m is a table view controller that displays the customer data in the client database. The viewWillAppear method uses the Object API to query the database for a list of all Customer objects, and builds an NSArray that is used by this class as the data source for displaying the table view.

    If a row is tapped, the accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath method is run, which pushes a DetailController onto the stack to display additional information and allow the data to be modified.
