I’m trying to get the tableview widget to display my data in an existing table. Here is an example of how my data in structured
.

local people = {  
 { name="Bob", age=32, gender="male" },  
 { name="Jane", age=29, gender="female" }  
 }

Is it possible to display all of information in each row in the tableview widget?

Thanks,

I found the solution. It was posted by robmiracle here - http://developer.coronalabs.com/reference/index/widgetnewtableview?page=1&destination=

[code]
local widget = require “widget”

local listOptions = {
top = display.statusBarHeight,
height = 410,
maskFile = “mask-410.png”
}

local list = widget.newTableView( listOptions )

local function onRowRender( event )
local row = event.target
local rowGroup = event.view

local text = display.newRetinaText( data[row.index].thing, 12, 0, “Helvetica-Bold”, 18 )
text:setReferencePoint( display.CenterLeftReferencePoint )
text.y = row.height * 0.5
– must insert everything into event.view:
rowGroup:insert( text )
end

for i=1,#data do
list:insertRow{
onEvent=onRowTouch,
onRender=onRowRender,
}
end
