Swift Question
TableView not using the correct TableViewCell
I have a grouped tableview and the datasource looks as follows:
let customCell = UITableViewCell()
customCell.textLabel?.text = "this is a custom cell"
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellA", for: indexPath) as! CellA
cell.label.text = "dummy text"
switch indexPath.section {
case 0 :
switch indexPath.row {
case 0 : cell.label.text = "Foo"
case 1 : cell.label.text = "Bar"
default:
fatalError("Row does not exist")
}
case 1 :
switch indexPath.row {
case 0 : return customCell
default:
fatalError("Row does not exist")
}
default:
fatalError("Section does not exist")
}
return cell
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int { return 2 }
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
switch section {
case 0 : return 2
case 1 : return 1
default:
fatalError("Section does not exist")
}
}
Problem:
I want section 2 to use
customCelldequeueReusableCell(identifier:,indexPath:)"dummy text"dequeueReusableCell(identifier:)indexPathWhat is the proper way of doing this or should I just use the method without
indexPath
Answer
So you are doing almost correct, your customCell is also getting added to your tableView. But what is happening here is, at first you are dequeueing a cell in cellForRowAt and then checking for section and returning the cell. So Your customCell for indexPath.section = 1 is added but the dequeued cell present on top of it. You can debug the view hierarchy and see the magic.
Now you have to move your cell creation to individual section and return from there, like below, it should work:
switch indexPath.section {
case 0:
let cell = tableVIew.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cellA", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! cellA
cell.textLabel?.text = "dummy text"
switch indexPath.row {
case 0 :
cell.textLabel?.text = "Foo"
return cell
case 1 :
cell.textLabel?.text = "Bar"
return cell
default:
fatalError("Row does not exist")
}
case 1:
switch indexPath.row {
case 0 :
return customCell
default:
fatalError("Row does not exist")
}
default:
fatalError("Section does not exist")
}
