TableviewCells with different contents - swift

Question

im trying to make an App where the User can add a Cell and where he can add different Contents to the Cell like Name, Birthday and Hobbys for example.
So far so good.
But how can i show him the individual Contents of each Cell?
Do I have to add a ViewController with different labels, where i load the text saved for the specific cell, for example with NSuserdefaults/Coredata?
Or am I totally wrong?
What i have right now : in my viewController where i can add an item
#IBAction func doneButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
name = txtFieldName.text!
vc.items.append(name)
vc.tableView.reloadData()
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion:nil)
}
in my tableviewController:
var items = [String]();
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
print(items)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return items.count
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("itemCell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
cell.textLabel!.text = items[indexPath.row]
return cell
}

Answer 1

You need to implement kinda this thing
NavigationController ->(segue) TableView or TVController ->(show item segue) TableView or TVController
Using this example we should have files for each tableview and cell
first pair(newsvc.swift newscell.swift)
second pair(newsitemvc.swift newsitemcell.swift)
So as we understand it's a MVC
We need implement some static data
Create Model file (add struct and initialize it)
struct News {
var time: String?
var title: String?
var text: String?
init(time: String?, title: String?,text: String?) {
self.time = time
self.title = title
self.text = text
}
}
in second file we create data for struct
let newsData = [ News(time: "10:00", title: "Test", text: "Some text"),
News(time: "11:00", title: "Test1", text: "Some text1")]
NewsCell.swift
class NewsCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var timeLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var titleLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var textLabel: UILabel!
var news: News! {
didSet {
timeLabel = news.time
titleLabel = news.title
textLabel.text = news.text
}
}
}
in NewsViewController we need add "News" array and make it get data from "newsData"
var newsItems: [News] = newsData
update functions
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return newsItems.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("NewsCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! NewsCell
let news = newsItems[indexPath.row] as News
cell.news = news
return cell
}
after it we should add segue
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let indexPath: NSIndexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow!
tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)
if segue.identifier == "showItemSegue" {
if let destViewController = segue.destinationViewController as? NewsItemViewController {
let seguedArray = newsItems[indexPath.row] as News
destViewController.newSeguedArray = seguedArray
}
}
}

You would append the data to an array before setting it to said cell. You can pull this data based on what they clicked by using the index in the array and the index.row variable.
