Swift - change height of mapview inside a tableView - swift

Question

(Look at ##Edit##)
I'm a beginner. I used google but can't find a solution for my problem.
How can I change the height of my MapView inside the tableView?
My storyboard looks like:
click here I cant post pictures
I can change the size of the MKMapView however I want but nothing changed "in real/in the emulator".
I tried to change the size of the cells with:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if(indexPath.row == 0) {
return 500
}
return 75.0
}
But indexPath.row=0 ist the first entry "Name: Test"
Can somebody explain how and why I can't change the size? How can I change the size?
Thank u for help.
EDIT
I tried it with two different cells ("Map Cell" and "listAllBakeries") and now it works with the size.
When I click on an entry there isn't an update at the "Map Cell" but on the "listAllBakeries". More than one Map
The code:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
//CODE TO BE RUN ON CELL TOUCH
//get the Location with latitude and longitude
var location = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude[indexPath.item], longitude: longitude[indexPath.item])
//resolution
var span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.003, 0.003)
var region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: location,span:span)
//here is the mistake
let cell2:ListPlacesTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MapCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ListPlacesTableViewCell
//some Text about the Place
var annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = location
annotation.title = namesBakeries[indexPath.item]
annotation.subtitle = "some Text"
//Zooming inside the map
cell2.Map.setRegion(region, animated: true)
cell2.Map.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
I don't really understand this. I use the right identifier (MapCell) but the section/row is wrong. How can I use the right section?
Here is my code how I fill the rows/section
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if(indexPath.section == 0) {
let cell2:ListPlacesTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MapCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ListPlacesTableViewCell
//insert MapStuff
//addAnnotations
//MapStuff
return cell2
} else {
//Standard-Labels with text
let cell:ListPlacesTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("listAllBakeries", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ListPlacesTableViewCell
cell.nameLabel?.text = namesBakeries[indexPath.row]
cell.adressLabel?.text = "Test 2"
return cell
}
}
Thank for help

Answer 1

It looks like your map is above the uiTableView rather than a separate prototype cell in your table.
Set your uiTableView up with 2 prototype cells then put the map in the first.
Then, as you have done, you can test the value of indexpath.row.

Answer 2

Okay I found out.
The trick is to update always the same cell.
I defined an array. Then save my Cell2 in this array and just used this Object to update my map. (My english is awful I know, maybe my code will give more information.)
class ListPlacesTableViewController: UITableViewController {
var constantCell = [ListPlacesTableViewCell?](count: 1, repeatedValue: nil)
....
//other stuff here
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if(indexPath.section == 0) {
let cell2:ListPlacesTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MapCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ListPlacesTableViewCell
constantCell[0] = cell2
//other stuff here
}
}
//Clickable Cell Function add:
constantCell[0]!.Map.setRegion(region, animated: true)
constantCell[0]!.Map.addAnnotation(annotation)
