UISegmentedControl with UICollectionView Error with Switch Statement


I have two arrays of data that I am trying to switch between using a UISegmentedControl, then the data is to be displayed in a UICollectionView. So in the storyboard I have 2 segments for the Segment Control to match the two arrays. Currently the data is not displaying and the following switch statements falls to the default prinln.

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

var number: Int = 0

switch tabs.selectedSegmentIndex {

case 0: number = array1.count

case 1: number = array2.count

default: println("error counting array for number of items in section")

}

return number
}

Does anybody have any ideas where I may be going wrong ? This is the first time I have tried using a segmented control.

Here is my View Controller code:

@IBOutlet weak var tabs: UISegmentedControl!
@IBOutlet weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!

let moc = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext

var array1 = [Type1]()
var array2 = [Type2]()

func loadData() {

    var error: NSError?

    let request1 = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "Type1")
    request1.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "date", ascending: true)]
    self.array1 = moc?.executeFetchRequest(request1, error: &error) as! [Type1]

    let request2 = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "Type2")
    request2.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "date", ascending: true)]
    self.array2 = moc?.executeFetchRequest(request2, error: &error) as! [Type2]

    self.collectionView.reloadData()
}

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    loadData()
}


override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    loadData()
}

// MARK: UICollectionViewDataSource

func numberOfSectionsInCollectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
    //#warning Incomplete method implementation -- Return the number of sections
    return 1
}


func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    //#warning Incomplete method implementation -- Return the number of items in the section

    var number: Int = 0

    switch tabs.selectedSegmentIndex {

    case 0: number = array1.count

    case 1: number = array2.count

    default: println("error counting array for number of items in section")

    }

    return number
}

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CollectionViewCell

    // Configure the cell

    var data1 = array1[indexPath.row]
    var data2 = array2[indexPath.row]

    switch tabs.selectedSegmentIndex {

    case 0:

    cell.titleLabel.text = self.data1[indexPath.row].title

    case 1:

    cell.titleLabel.text = self.data2[indexPath.row].title

    default: println("error with switch statement for cell data")

    }

    return cell
}


func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)  {

    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CollectionViewCell


}

Solution

  • In your viewDidLoad set selectedSegmentedIndex to 0 (or 1) because the default value is -1.

    tabs.selectedSegmentedIndex = 0
    

    The default value is UISegmentedControlNoSegment (no segment selected) until the user touches a segment. Set this property to -1 to turn off the current selection.
