Most Notable Features

Sensible TableView (STV) is an extension to the iOS framework that dramatically reduces the time and complexity needed by developers to create table view based applications. STV works by understanding your classes, Core Data entities, or even simple dictionaries, then creating table views that fully represent their structure. Furthermore, STV detects object relationships and automatically generates all detail views representing these relationships. STV not only creates the UI, but also makes sure that any user input is validated and automatically committed back to your objects, Core Data entities, and/or dictionaries. Finally, every single aspect of the whole process is fully customizable by the developer.
  • Create custom cells in Interface Builder!
  • Automatically create cells that map to each of your Core Data's entities.
  • Automatically create detail views that map to each of your Core Data's relationships.
  • Easily create cells with controls (similar to that of Apple's Settings application) without the need for any subclassing.
  • Easily create selection cells (similar to that of the Ringtone selection cell in the iPhone sound settings).
  • Easily create badges inside cells, much like the iPhone Mail application does to show the number of inbox items.
  • Automatically create cells that map to each of your own classes' properties.
  • Automatically save the values of control cells and selection cells to your own classes' properties.
  • Automatically create a section that represents an array of your own classes' objects. This section will automatically handle re-ordering and deletion of your objects. In addition, it will automatically handle new object addition by generating a detail view for the users to add a new object.
  • Automatically provide search functionality for normal and Core Data objects.
  • Automatically resize your UITableView when the keyboard appears, even if you are using a UIViewController, and even if your UITableView covers only a small part of the screen.
  • Automatically move the cursor from one UITextFieldCell to the next when the user taps the return button on the keyboard. This functionality is provided automatically if returnKeyType is set to UIReturnKeyDefault or UIReturnKeyNext.
  • Automatically dismiss the keyboard when the user taps the return button on the keyboard. This functionality is provided automatically if returnKeyType is set to UIReturnKeyDone.
  • Automatically validate all cell values based on predefined rules or custom user defined rules.
  • Automatically disable user interface elements that commit changes if the cell values are not valid.
  • Fully customize the appearance of your table view, including all automatically generated cells and detail views.
  • Extend Sensible TableView with your own custom cells.
  • Fully supports development for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
  • New! Fully supports iOS 5.0, including Automatic Reference Counting! (ARC)
  • Fully complies with Apple's developer license agreement.
  • Sensible TableView comes with FULL source code.
