Strange error: insertRowsAtIndexPaths in UITableView crashes with NSInternalInconsistencyException-Collection of common programming errors
I have searched for a more fitting answer to NSInternalInconsistencyException
I receive in the following sample app I wrote, but still nothing. The goal is to create an expand/collapse functionality for the top row in each section of the tableView. Right now I try to implement the expand part, and this works for row 0 in section 0. As soon as the user taps row 0 in another section this error appears:
** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Unable to resolve row for index path: 2 indexes [0, 1]'
This is strange since I store each and every UITableViewCell
for the table in a mutable array of arrays. NSMutableArray *cellForRow
, where each index represents a section in the table and each object is an object of type NSMutableArray
. I do this to avoid any issues arising from queueing reusable cells that I first thought triggered the above exception.
The exception happens at the insertRowsAtIndexPaths
statement. I read earlier here that the UITableViewController
code must keep track of changes to the number of rows caused by insertions/deletion. I believe I do that with NSMutableArray *rowsInSection
so that the UITableView
data source method:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
returns the correct number of rows in a section after a change.
What am I doing wrong in my code to get the above mentioned exception?
This is the interface file:
#import
#import
@interface MasterViewController : UITableViewController {
NSMutableArray *rowsInSection;
NSMutableArray *cellForRow;
}
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSMutableArray *rowsInSection;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSMutableArray *cellForRow;
@end
And this is the implementation file:
#import "MasterViewController.h"
const NSInteger numSections = 4;
const NSInteger numRows = 1 + 4;
const NSInteger addRemoveRows = 4;
@implementation MasterViewController
@synthesize rowsInSection;
