How to configure UITableView inside custom UITableViewCell in a Storyboard?

Question

I have a layout in which I will have 2 UITableViews with custom cells. The second UITableView must be inside the first.

My question is: how to delegate second UITableView?

Can I delegate both to my ViewController? In that case it will use the same methods and I have to find out which UITableView is managed right now.

Or I have to delegate it inside custom UITableViewCell of the first UITableView?

Any recommendations are appreciated.

EDIT: I don't know how to implement solutions here, because I have Storyboard. Inside my current UIViewController I set delegate and dataSource of the first UITableView to my View Controller.

My problem is that I don't know how to set the same properties of the second Table View (which will be inside UITableViewCell). I can not set them to UITableViewCell (IB does not allow that).

Where and how to set then in the IB?

Answer 1

You just check table condition for every delegate method

Use this code to register custom cell.

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(tableView == self.yourFirstTable)
{
    CustomCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cellModifier"];
    // your code
}
else
{
    // second table cell code
}
return cell;
}



 -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
   { 
        if(tableView == self.yourFirstTable)
        {
             // first tableView number of row return
        }
        else
        {
             // second table number of row return
        }   
   }

And create prototype cell in TableView

And Set CellReusableId like this way
