Sections in UITableView with Custom Cells - swift

Question

I have the following code thus far.
var someData = [SomeData]()
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == 0 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell1", for: indexPath) as! Cell1
return cell
} else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell2", for: indexPath) as? Cell2
let someData = [indexPath.row]
//Set up labels etc.
return cell!
}
}
I need Cell1 which is a static cell and will always remain at indexPath 0 to be in a section called "Section1" for example & all of the Cell2's to be in a section called "Section2"
Other DataSource & Delegate Methods;
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 2
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if section == 0 {
return 1
} else {
return someData.count
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
if section == 0 {
return "Section1" }
else {
return "Section2"
}
}
This returns me everything I need for the first section, however, when it comes to the second section (because of the code inside cellForRowAtIndex somewhere) section 2 contains Cell2 at indexPath 0.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Root cause:
In cellForRowAtIndexPath check for indexPath.section instead of indexPath.row
Fix:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.section == 0 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell1", for: indexPath) as! Cell1
return cell
} else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell2", for: indexPath) as? Cell2
let someData = [indexPath.row]
//Set up labels etc.
return cell!
}
}
