Question
What I’m basically trying to is to implement the control segment/tableview as in Mailbox (see it around 2:00: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG-h8pDXfoE&feature=youtu.be&t=2m)
I am using Core Data in one UITableViewController hooked up to a UITableView.
When user toggles the UISegmentedControl, the TableView is reloaded with a different set of NSPredicate, and UITableViewRowAnimationRight/Left, kind of makes it appear that that a different table view slides in and replaces the old one.
As the number of cells increase, the performance of this design decrease dramatically, and it could also look much better.
I can see a few different ways of going about it, but I figured I'd ask you guys for some pointers to head me in the right direction:
What is the best way to have a segmented control to toggle through multiple tableviews? Should these tableviews be connected to the same data source/delegate?
Solution
Take a look at this pod: https://github.com/xmartlabs/XLMailBoxContainer. It makes the UI animation among the view controllers. These view controller can extend UITableViewController or any other view controller.
UITableViewCell swipe animation can be accomplished using https://github.com/alikaragoz/MCSwipeTableViewCell.
I hope this could help you!
OTHER TIPS
It really depends how different each of these table views is. If they are quite similar, it's probably easiest to just share the delegate and data source and have some conditional code.
In fact you can just have a single table view, but have different cells / configuration depending on your current context. Could be as simple as having adding some conditions to

Another approach would be to use view controller containment. You would create a UITableViewController for each and then have parent view controller with segmented control which swaps child view controller accordingly.
As for the animation and performance, I can't really see any problem. You can get the animations without much effort if you use NSFetchedResultsController, see an example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreData/Reference/NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html.
See SBSegmentedViewController. I wrote it for exactly what you're trying to do.
