I'm writing an app that have a dashboard with multiple cells. One of the cells have a question, but the answer are dynamically filled, so I decided to use a UITableView to handle it.
I set the the UITableViewCell as the delegate and dataSource of the internal UITableView and made the configurations for define the cell and the selected state.
extension SurveyTableViewCell: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
answers = model.getSurveyAnswers()
return (answers?.count)!
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: InsideSurveyTableViewCell.identifier, for: indexPath) as! InsideSurveyTableViewCell
cell.idAnswer.text = alphabetQuestion[indexPath.row]
cell.answer.text = answers?[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 100.0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: InsideSurveyTableViewCell.identifier, for: indexPath) as! InsideSurveyTableViewCell
cell.selectRow()
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: InsideSurveyTableViewCell.identifier, for: indexPath) as! InsideSurveyTableViewCell
cell.deselectRow()
}
}
But the click inside the cell in the internal UITableViewCell is not recognized. I need to recognize this click to after send the user answer to the server.
I saw some solutions, but using storyboard. I use only nib's on my projects.
But I still tried with an approach that I saw on YouTube which uses storyboard.
On the cell that will use the internal UITableView I declared a function to set the delegate and dataSource of the internal tableView and gave to it a tag.
extension SurveyTableViewCell {
func setTableViewDataSourceDelegate<D:UITableViewDelegate & UITableViewDataSource>(_ dataSourceDelegate: D, forRow row: Int) {
subTableView.dataSource = dataSourceDelegate
subTableView.delegate = dataSourceDelegate
subTableView.reloadData()
}
}
Than on the viewController that manage the outer UITableView:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if tableView.tag == 1 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: InsideSurveyTableViewCell.identifier) as! InsideSurveyTableViewCell
cell.idAnswer.text = "A."
cell.answer.text = "QUALQUER COISA"
return cell
}
if retrivedCell is SurveyTableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: SurveyTableViewCell.identifier, for: indexPath) as! SurveyTableViewCell
cell.delegate = self
cell.setTableViewDataSourceDelegate(self, forRow: indexPath.row)
cell.setPositionRow(row: indexPath.row - 1)
cell.subTableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
cell.subTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 50
return cell
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if tableView.tag == 1 {
return 3
}
var numberOfCells: Int = 0
if cellsToPresent != nil {
numberOfCells = cellsToPresent!.count
}
return numberOfCells + 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if tableView.tag == 1 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: InsideSurveyTableViewCell.identifier) as! InsideSurveyTableViewCell
cell.selectRow()
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if tableView.tag == 1 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: InsideSurveyTableViewCell.identifier) as! InsideSurveyTableViewCell
cell.deselectRow()
}
}
The selectRow and deselectRow are methods to change the label of the cell of the inner tableView.
But still without success.
if I use the method:
tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: identifier, for: indexPath)
The app break complaining that I'm trying to dequeue different cells with the same indexPath.
Thanks for your help.
Don't use
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier:) in didSelect or didDeSelect methods.
Use
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)
I hope this will help you.
