Customizing Table View Controller

Hi, I have just watched the section on customizing the table view controller, and I was wondering whether it was possible to create a table view with multiple columns to display data? and how you would go about doing this? It is something I am interested in for a project I am working on.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex,

UITableView doesn't support multiple columns but you can either use an UICollectionView instead or e. g. define a custom cell for an UITableView which then will contain the amount of UILabel's you need for the columns to show up.

Thank you! I will look into the documentation for UICollectionView and see how I go!
