I am creating a search screen where you can select among four different options. If one selects people, then people array gets loaded in table view cells , if he selects images then image posts get loaded in tableview .
how can i achieve the design posted above? i have created four different cells and nib files and based on the option selected in segment control , i have to load those nib files in table cell.
UPDATE ::::
I am updating all my code here which i have combined into one file.

Use selectedSegmentIndex
property of UISegmentedControl
to handle the UITableViewDataSource
according to the selected segment.
Example:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
let selectedIndex = self.segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex
switch selectedIndex
{
case 0:
return peopleArray.count
case 1:
return imagesArray.count
//Add other cases here
default:
return 0
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
let selectedIndex = self.segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex
switch selectedIndex
{
case 0:
return tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "peopleCell", for: indexPath) //Do your custom handling whatever required.
case 1:
return tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "imageCell", for: indexPath)
//Add other cases here
default:
return UITableViewCell()
}
}
@IBAction func onChangeSegment(_ sender: UISegmentedControl)
{
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
