and the delegate function
var countryArray = ["Brooklyn", "Queens", "Manhattan", "The Bronx"]
let coordinates = [ (CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 40.6782, longitude: 73.9442)), (CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 40.7282, longitude: 73.7949)), (CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 40.7831, longitude: 73.9712)), (CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 40.8448, longitude: 73.8648)) ]
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int{
return countryArray.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let locationCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: LocationTableViewCell.locationCellIdentifier, for: indexPath) as! LocationTableViewCell
locationCell.countryLable.text = countryArray[indexPath.row]
// getting the location based on the country name
LocationManger.sharedLocationManager.findLocations(with: countryArray, coordinates: coordinates) { location in
self.locationArray = location
print("the current location is(location)")
}
// hide the car cell separator
locationCell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: UIScreen.main.bounds.width)
// remove the animation when tapping the cell
locationCell.selectionStyle = .none
return locationCell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
currentLocationTableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: false)
// notify map controller to show pin at selected place
print(locationArray.count)
print(coordinates)
let location = locationArray[indexPath.row].coordinates
self.delegate?.SearchLocationController(self, didSelectLocationWith: location)
}
extension SearchLocationController: MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
guard !(annotation is MKUserLocation) else {
return nil
}
// set a custom pin
var annotaionView = map.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: "custom")
if annotaionView == nil {
// create the view
annotaionView = MKAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "custom")
// taping in the point
annotaionView?.canShowCallout = true
annotaionView?.image = UIImage(named: "blueLocation")
}
else {
annotaionView?.annotation = annotation
}
return annotaionView
}
}

You are thinking about this wrong. Table view cells are views. They do not store data, they provide a view into data.
You want a model that holds an array of data, and your table view data source methods should take that data and install it into the cell for the specified IndexPath.
Use an array of structs where each element holds all the data you need: city names, their coordinates, etc.
When the user selects a cell, use the indexPath of the selected cell to look up the data for that cell in your array of structs, and pass the needed data to the view controller that will display your data (your SearchLocationController.)
