Courses Plus Student 2,669 PointsindexPath.row in BlogReader app not showing up correctly.
Hi Guys I have a problem here. The Blog Reader app uptill now is showing up correctly as what is being taught by Amit. My problem is in the following video the indexPath.row (i.e the row number of the row selected in the app) is not showing up correctly in the console in the following line: NSLog(@"Row Selected :%d",indexPath.row);
The compiler is taking row number 0 as row number 1( that is when i am clicking the top most row it is not responding and when i am selecting the row next to it (i.e the row number 1) it is showing Row Selected :0) It is not recognizing the topmost row and starting from the row after it. Also my topmost row is too much near to the header.
Thanks...

You should be able to drag a UIView into the very top of your tableView in storyboard and size it as needed to provide a spacer between the status bar and your tableView. As for your other problem, can you post the code for your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method

42,016 PointsHere is your issue
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { NSLog(@"Row Selected :%d",indexPath.row);
you implemented didDeselectRow not didSelectRow. Change it to didSelectRowAtIndexPath and see if it works

As for the other issue, I've seen students implementing the wrong method didDeselectRowAtIndexPath which gives them the behavior you are describing above. You should be implementing didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

Courses Plus Student 2,669 PointsHi Stone Thanks for the prompt reply but still am not able to get by this what u said: You should be able to drag a UIView into the very top of your tableView in storyboard and size it as needed to provide a spacer between the status bar and your tableView. How do it do that....
Regarding the code here it is. -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { NSLog(@"Row Selected :%d",indexPath.row);
}
Also , my simulator does not match what Amit Bijlani is using in the videos.
If I am trying to print the row numbers via indexPath.row in the
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{ } method, they are showing up correctly. its only the didSelectRowAtIndexPath the row's are not showing up correctly.
Thanks....

42,016 Pointsin storyboard go to your view controller. drag a new UIView object from the objects panel on the far right to the very top of your tableView, you should be able to place it in the header section. Then you can change the height of that UIView to increase the distance from thettop.

Courses Plus Student 2,669 PointsAhhhhhaa !!! what an eye you have got.... I must compliment you on that stone..... How could i not notice that!!!!!
Here is the link which Amit had posted... https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/blog-reader-app-table-cells-touching-the-header
It works fine now.... But I am still not able to get what u meant by this: in storyboard go to your view controller. drag a new UIView object from the objects panel on the far right to the very top of your tableView, you should be able to place it in the header section. Then you can change the height of that UIView to increase the distance from thettop.
I tried .....but am not sure if i got it done correctly.....

42,016 PointsAmits way accomplishes the same thing but programmatically. What I was explaining (or trying to explain) was a way to do it using the storyboard GUI, not in code. Either way, they do the same thing.

42,016 PointsRASHU BHATNAGAR here is a SO Post that has a nice screenshot of what I mean by dragging and dropping a view into the top of the tableView. Notice that they are using an imageView, but you could use anything. A blank UIView was what I was suggesting you use.

Courses Plus Student 2,669 PointsYes Amit I got that... Thank you so much for replying back.....
