how to extend uikit plugin?

louis

HI @MikeHart ,@Caroline:
I have trouble with uikit plugin,

UIKIT plugin implement a tableView, but only text can be displayed in the table, now I want to display customize the cell's format.(more columns,and display images.)

so I crate a interface class is MyTableViewCell first,

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/interface" rel="nofollow">@interface</a> MyTableViewCell : UITableViewCell   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/property%28nonatomic" rel="nofollow">@property(nonatomic</a>,retain) UILabel *lb_title; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/property%28nonatomic" rel="nofollow">@property(nonatomic</a>,retain) UILabel *lb_date; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/property" rel="nofollow">@property</a> (nonatomic,retain) UILabel *lb_points;   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/property%28nonatomic" rel="nofollow">@property(nonatomic</a>,retain) UILabel *lb_title_content; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/property%28nonatomic" rel="nofollow">@property(nonatomic</a>,retain) UILabel *lb_date_content; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/property" rel="nofollow">@property</a> (nonatomic,retain) UILabel *lb_points_content;   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/end" rel="nofollow">@end</a>

second,implement that:

#import "MyTableViewCell.h"   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/implementation" rel="nofollow">@implementation</a> MyTableViewCell   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> lb_title = _lb_title ; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> lb_date = _lb_date ; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> lb_points = _lb_points ;   <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> lb_title_content = _lb_title_content ; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> lb_date_content = _lb_date_content ; <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/synthesize" rel="nofollow">@synthesize</a> lb_points_content = _lb_points_content ;     -(id) init{ [super init];   if(self){ [self setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 120)]; self.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];   int height = 25 ; int middle_height = 5 ;   UIColor * bgcolor = [UIColor yellowColor];   _lb_title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 5 + height * 0 + middle_height * 0, 45, height )]; _lb_title.backgroundColor = bgcolor; _lb_title.text = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/title%3A" rel="nofollow">@title:</a>;   _lb_date = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 5 + height * 1 + middle_height * 1, 45, height )]; _lb_date.backgroundColor = bgcolor; _lb_date.text = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/time%3A" rel="nofollow">@time:</a>;   _lb_points = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 5 + height * 2+ middle_height * 2, 45, height)]; _lb_points.backgroundColor = bgcolor; _lb_points.text = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/point%3A" rel="nofollow">@point:</a>;   _lb_title_content = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(70, 5 + height * 0 + middle_height * 0, 240, height)]; _lb_title_content.backgroundColor = bgcolor; _lb_title_content.text = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/--------------" rel="nofollow">@--------------</a>;   _lb_date_content = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(70, 5 + height * 1 + middle_height * 1, 240, height)]; _lb_date_content.backgroundColor = bgcolor; _lb_date_content.text = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/--------------" rel="nofollow">@--------------</a>;   _lb_points_content = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(70, 5 + height * 2 + middle_height * 2, 240, height )]; _lb_points_content.backgroundColor = bgcolor; _lb_points_content.text = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/--------------" rel="nofollow">@--------------</a>;       [self addSubview:_lb_title]; [self addSubview:_lb_points]; [self addSubview:_lb_date];   [self addSubview:_lb_title_content]; [self addSubview:_lb_date_content]; [self addSubview:_lb_points_content]; } return self ; }

third,edit uikit tableview code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {       static NSString *CellIdentifier = <a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/Cell" rel="nofollow">@Cell</a>;   // UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; // if (cell == nil) { // cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease]; // }     MyTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; if (cell == nil) { //cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease]; //cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator; cell = [[[MyTableViewCell alloc ] init] autorelease] ; }     //send an event so that the cell can be formatted getObject(L, target); if (!lua_isnil(L, -1)) { lua_getfield(L, -1, "dispatchEvent"); lua_pushvalue(L, -2); lua_getglobal(L, "Event"); lua_getfield(L, -1, "new"); lua_remove(L, -2); lua_pushstring(L, "cellForRowAtIndexPath"); lua_call(L, 1, 1);   lua_pushinteger(L, indexPath.row); lua_setfield(L, -2, "Row"); if (lua_pcall(L, 2, 0, 0) != 0) { g_error(L, lua_tostring(L, -1)); return nil; } } lua_pop(L, 1);   //cellText is set by calling tableView:setCellText() from the //Gideros event function called above cell.textLabel.text = self.cellText; return cell; }

My question is:

how to extend a ui class in individual file,not edit uikit source code,etc write a MyTableView.mm ?
and in lua, require same plugin ,require "ui", use same api method (addToRootView ,removeFromRootView) manage this new ui class ,MyTableView ?

@louis - I don't know how to separate into different files .

It seems like a very simple thing, so hopefully @atilim will know?
