Table View

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A scrollable UI component that displays data in a single-column list of rows, optionally grouped into sections — most associated with UITableView in iOS/UIKit, which recycles off-screen cells for memory efficiency. Similar patterns exist in Android (RecyclerView) and web frameworks.

    In plain English: A scrolling list of items in an app, like the rows you see in a contacts list or settings menu.

    Example: "The settings screen is a grouped table view — each section maps to a preference category with static cells."
