iOS Empty DataSet

Empty Data Set

Empty Views are helpful for Avoiding white-screens and communicating to your users why the screen is empty.

How to use

*make an UIView nib file just like as “EmptyView.xib” in the project. *insert an UIImageView and labels to design the empty data set. *to assign different values of image view and labels in various views , set a dictionary in “viewDidLoad” of each of your views

NSMutableDictionary *emptyViewInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[emptyViewInfo setValue:@"emptyView" forKey:@"image"];
[emptyViewInfo setValue:@"TableView is empty. Tap the rightBarButtonItem to insert row in the table view." forKey:@"text"];
  • prepare a custom table with delegates:
-(void)showEmptyview;
-(void)hideEmptyview;

and override the “reloadData” of table with.

  • use “EmptyTableViewController" classes if you want to show empty data set in “UITableViewController” ; and implement the delegates in it. you can also use the “EmptyViewController" classes if you choose the “UIViewController” to show your content.

  • @interface FirstTableViewController : EmptyTableViewController
