TableView action per item - swift

Question

I have a tableView like this:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView!
let names = ["TEXT1", "TEXT2", "TEXT3"]
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self
}
}
extension ViewControllerMeer: UITableViewDelegate {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
let name = names[indexPath.row]
print("You clicked on \(name)")
}
}
extension ViewControllerMeer: UITableViewDataSource {
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return names.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = names[indexPath.row]
let n = names[indexPath.item]
switch n {
case "TEXT1":
print("s1")
case "TEXT2":
print("s2")
case "TEXT3":
print("s3")
default:
break
}
return cell
}
}
It reads the items from the 'let names', So far so good :) I now want to add some actions because now every item will print 'You tapped me'. I figured something out like
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
if indexPath.row == 0 {
print("cell1")
} else if indexPath.row == 1 {
print("cell2")
} else if indexPath.row == 2 {
print("cell3")
}
}
The only problem is that it generates an error 'Method does not override any method from its superclass'. So I guess this won't work. What would be a good method to do it?

Answer 1

remove the override in front of func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
And you can either to a big if statement or switch statement to do something with the names or you can do something like:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
let name = names[indexPath.row]
print("You clicked on \(name)")
switch indexPath.row {
case 0:
//do something
self.shareApp()
case 1:
//do something else
self.writeReview()
default:
break
}
}

I just copied your codes to show you basically if you really want to override tableview functions
class ViewController: UITableViewController {
#IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView!
let names = ["TEXT1", "TEXT2", "TEXT3"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
print("You tapped me!")
}
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return names.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = names[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
let name = names[indexPath.row]
print("You clicked on \(name)")
}
}
