How would I set the colour of each label in table view section using swift?
I have done this but it does not work.
Thanks
for section in 0..<tableView.numberOfSections {
for row in 0..<tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: section) {
let indexPath = NSIndexPath(row: row, section: section)
var cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath)
if (cell as? UILabel) != nil {
cell?.textLabel?.textColor = .red
}
}
}
You should be set the cell's properties inside the cellForRowAt method, like this:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: <#T##String#>, for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.backgroundColor = .red
return cell
}
You are making a conflict with type.
In this line you are assigning the cell type to variable cell
var cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath)
And In this line of code you are asking if cell is a UILabel then make it text label colour to red.
This will always return false and code inside if will never execute.
if (cell as? UILabel) != nil {
cell?.textLabel?.textColor = .red
}
Remove the if statement and then execute the code.

I have 3 UITableViewCell with XIB files but on my tableview I can't display my three UITableViewCell, only can load the first two
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 3
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if (indexPath.item % 2 == 0) {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CaptureNameTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! CaptureNameTableViewCell
cell.nameTextField.text = ""
cell.nameTextField.tag = indexPath.row
cell.nameTextField.delegate = self
return cell
} else if indexPath.section == 2 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CapturePhotoTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! CapturePhotoTableViewCell
cell.displayImage = imageView
cell.cellDelegate = self
cell.selectImage.tag = indexPath.row
return cell
} else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "PieChartTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! PieChartTableViewCell
return cell
}
}
You need to register the xib tableViewCells inside of the tableViewController:
First create an id property inside of the cells xib class, to use as the cell’s reuse identifier (make the name of this the same as your reuse identifier for the cell which you set in the xib file):
let id = "cellIdentifier" // Name this appropriately
Then create a nib method inside of the cell's xib class:
func nib() -> UINib {
return UINib(named: "cellIdentifier", bundle: nil)
}
Then inside of a lifecycle method such as viewDidLoad():
tableView.register(nib: cell.nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: cell.id)
Finally, specify which cells you want to be where in the table view at which indexPath.row. (Which row in the table view):
switch indexPath.row {
case 0: // First cell
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CaptureNameTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! CaptureNameTableViewCell
// Configure cell as before
return cell
case 1: // Second cell
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CapturePhotoTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! CapturePhotoTableViewCell
// Configure cell as before
return cell
case 2: // Third cell
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "PieChartTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! PieChartTableViewCell
// Configure cell as before
return cell
default:
return UITableViewCell() // This should not be reached but a switch statement must cover all possibilities.

I have a chat message table view with two cells to display, depending on whom sent the message.
I want the last cell to display the time, and only the last one. When I use tableView(:willDisplay cell:forRowAt indexPath:), the last cell doesn't show anything...
How can I display the time on that last cell?
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if chatBubbles[indexPath.row].user == UserDefaultsService.shared.userID {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: CustomCell.senderCellIdentifier.rawValue, for: indexPath) as! SenderTVC
populateSenderChatBubble(into: cell, at: indexPath)
return cell
}
else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: CustomCell.conversationCellIdentifier.rawValue, for: indexPath) as! ConversationTVC
populateConversationChatBubble(into: cell, at: indexPath)
return cell
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.row == chatBubbles.count - 1 {
// What to do in here to display the last cell time?
}
}
Here is the method that display the cell content:
func populateSenderChatBubble(into cell: SenderTVC, at indexPath: IndexPath) {
let bubble = chatBubbles[indexPath.row]
let isoDateString = bubble.date
let trimmedIsoString = isoDateString.replacingOccurrences(of: StaticLabel.dateOccurence.rawValue, with: StaticLabel.emptyString.rawValue, options: .regularExpression)
let dateAndTime = ISO8601DateFormatter().date(from: trimmedIsoString)
date = dateAndTime!.asString(style: .short)
time = dateAndTime!.asString()
if dateAndTime!.isGreaterThanDate(dateToCompare: Date()) {
dateToShow = "\(date!) \(time!)"
}
else {
dateToShow = "\(time!)"
}
cell.senderDateLabel.text = dateToShow
cell.senderConversationLabel.text = bubble.content
}
The cell doesn't know it's last unless you tell it, but the tableView does know who's last. With that in mind, I would add a boolean in your cell like this:
var isLastCell: Bool = false {
didSet {
// do stuff if it's the last cell
if isLastCell {
// configure for isLastCell
} else {
// configure it for !isLastCell
}
}
}
When your custom UITableViewCell class initializes, it'll be with isLastCell = false, so assume that in your configuration. Whenever the boolean is updated to true, the cell will update via the didSet.
Then, in your cellForRow method, test the indexPath to see if it's the last indexPath of the datasource, if so, cell.isLastCell = true and the didSet in the cell will trigger to do whatever adjustments you need to do.
Another thing you'll need to do with this implementation is use cellForRow to update isLastCell for not just the last cell, but the cells that aren't last, since cells are created and destroyed all the time and the last cell at one moment might not be the last cell in another.
When it comes to creating a dynamic type table view in a storyboard, it automatically fills up the table with rows.
How would i disable the red lined section (unused rows yet) of the image?
Use tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method from UITableViewDataSource, like so
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CellId", for: indexPath)
if indexPath.section == DISABLED_SECTION_INDEX {
cell.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
} else {
cell.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
}
}
Or without if statement
cell.isUserInteractionEnabled = indexPath.section != DISABLED_SECTION_INDEX
I have 2 custom cells: 1 for image, 2 for text (using label to display).
I want text-cell to be dynamic height, depending on text size.
Set lines of label to 0, used top, left and right constraints, but when i add info to array, reload it - then table displays nothing.
Also in viewDidLoad coded next:
articleTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 150
articleTableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
if content[indexPath.row].rangeOfString("imageBase64") == nil {
let cell = self.articleTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Text Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! TextTableViewCell
cell.textArticle.text = content[indexPath.row] as String
}
else{
let cell = self.articleTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Image Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ImageTableViewCell
cell.imageArticle.image = decodedImage
}
return UITableViewCell()
}
What's the problem here?
You need to return cell not return UITableViewCell()
I have a tableView with two different custom cell. One cell have a switch and other a image, I have Two separated custom class for the cells, identifiers.. but I can't see this. i don't know if I need change the configuration in story board to dynamic or other thing.. Can I show two different custom cells
Thanks!
Check the criteria for showing each specific custom cell, then cast to that cell as needed:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?) -> UITableViewCell? {
if (criteria for cell 1) {
let cell = tableView!.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell1", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? Cell1
return (cell)
}
else {
let cell = tableView!.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell2", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? Cell2
return (cell)
}
}
Swift 3
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath -> UITableViewCell {
if (criteria for cell 1) {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell1", for: indexPath) as! Cell1
return cell
}
else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell2", for: indexPath) as! Cell2
return cell
}
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?,cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?) -> UITableViewCell? {
if (...) {
let cell : Mycell1 = tableView!.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Mycell1", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? Mycell1
return cell
}
else {
let cell : Mycell2 = tableView!.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Mycell2", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? Mycell2
return cell
}
}
