Reusing UITableViewDataSource

Hello!

I have two similar TableViews which have different appearances like tableView headers,footers, etc but they share same UITableViewDataSource, hence the NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate, by semantics. Currently I have copy pasted the shared code.

But I have no idea how to properly reuse that common UITableViewDataSource / NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate code.
The NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate is making use of the tableView and so it requires a (strong?) reference to the tableView.

Could anyone give me a hint how could I resolve my code duplications.

Thanks in advance

You could create a new NSObject instance that implements the UITableViewDataSource and NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate protocols. Then each UITableViewController could instantiate its own instance of that object and thereby reuse the code.
