MDSpreadView Demo

Purpose

MDSpreadView is a rewrite of UIKit's UITableView that allows for the display of columns and column headers as well as rows. This repository serves to demonstrate and test the MDSpreadView class. Please visit the MDSpreadView repository for the actual code :)

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/mochidev/MDSpreadViewDemo --recursive

To include it into your projects either download the source, or run the following on your git repo:

$ cd <your_repo>
$ git submodule add git@github.com:mochidev/MDSpreadView.git <local_subpath>/MDSpreadView

This will allow you to update it at anytime by running $ git submodule update.

Usage

Simply add the MDSpreadView submodule to your project, add #import "MDSpreadViewClasses.h" to the top of the files you wish to use MDSpreadView in, and set the delegate and dataSource properties of your MDSpreadView instance to one of your objects, much like you would do for a UITableView.

Then, implement the datasource and delegate methods demonstrated in MDViewController.m.

Don't forget to add QuartzCore.framework to your project!

Notes

  • An MDSpreadViewCell is created just like a UITableViewCell is -- try to dequeue it from the spread view, otherwise create a new one, then configure and return.
  • The table headers are also made of cells, and are loaded just like MDTableViewCells are.
  • Works flawlessly with ~500 billion data points (anything bigger makes - reloadData hang).
  • The bigger the cells, the faster it scrolls, since less are onscreen at a time (especially on older hardware).
    • ~150 cells gives 60 fps on current hardware, though you can viably push to 600 cells for ~25 fps
  • MDSpreadView uses MDIndexPaths instead of NSIndexPath to index cells.
  • Not all APIs are fully implemented yet, and are there for future reference only.
  • MDSpreadView also offers an easier way to make cells via - spreadView:title... and - spreadView:objectValue... datasource methods. The cell classes used can be changed via the default...CellClass quartet of properties.
  • MDSpreadView also has support for footer columns and rows.
  • Unlike UITableView, MDSpreadView is not adversely affected by custom cell sizes.

To Do

  • Programatic scrolling
  • Info Querying
  • Copy-Paste menu support
  • Cell insertion, deletion, and reload
  • Class registration per identifier
  • Better animation between data set transitions
