I am trying to display a table on the home view with 10 potential cells.
I need to press a button, go to the next view and select which cells I want to use via switches.
For example, if the switch is on, the cell is displayed. If the switch is off the cell will not be displayed and there will not be a gap between displayed cells on the previous page.
Uses the switches to control the data source for your UITableView, the best way to do this would be to break out your UITableViewDataSource into a separate class and then you can modify the data source array from your second view controller. I think this tutorial would be a good starting point

I'm trying to create an app where multiple lists can be switched between using a button. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to do this, preferably using storyboard (my Swift skills leave a lot to be desired)? Right now I only have one list (a TableView) which is contained in a Container View, along with two other regular Views, one at the top and one at the bottom of the Container View, with the TableView in the middle. I want to have a button in the top regular View that switches between multiple TableViews. I want the number of TableViews to be dynamic, starting with one, but then the user can add additional tables as they need. Any advice on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated! Is it even possible to create a prototype TableView? Is that the way to go here? I've found a couple of Answers on Stack Overflow regarding multiple tables on a single screen, but these lists wouldn't be on a single screen, they would only be viewable one at a time: if you want to see the second list, you have to press the "Next List" button (in the View at the top of the Container View), and the first list disappears and is replaced with the second. Thanks everybody!
Don't change table views, change datasources. Use a single table view as you have it, and one array for each mode that the table is in (call those arrayA and arrayB). Another array-type variable -- call it theModel -- should be set to point to A or B.
The datasource methods will answer the count of theModel, and get values for the cells from theModel. When the user presses the button...
self.theModel = (self.theModel== self.arrayA)? self.arrayB : self.arrayA
self.tableView.reloadData()
// everywhere else, use theModel as the datasource
i have a tableview with form fields, and there is a row that use segue to call an UICollectionView, everything is works except that i can't keep the selected cells (the visual effect that i show when the cell is selected) after go back to the tableview.
I mean, i selected my UICollectionView cells, after that i go back to the form, but if i need to again to my UICollectionView Cells, to deselect o select more cells before submit the data, once the UICollectionView appear my previous selection are there (i print the array, and i see the values) but i cant see the effect that i did for selected cells.
How i can keep the effect for selected cells if I'm going back to select again o deselect cells?
One thing to realize is that this is not going to happen by itself. When you segue back to the table view and the form fields, the UICollectionView is completely destroyed. The next time you show the collection view, it is a new and different collection view.
So, if you want to maintain a knowledge of what the selection was in the collection view, you are going to have to maintain it yourself, deliberately, storing it somewhere when you know that the collection view is being destroyed.
That way, the next time you show your collection view, even though that will be a completely new and different collection view, you can pass the knowledge of what the selection was to that collection view as you create and show it. The user will have the illusion of "returning" to the collection view, in the same state, but in fact you will have saved and restored its state.
It is then just a matter of reflecting the selected state in the collection view's display of its items. To do that, you need to configure your model so that when cellForItemAtIndexPath: is called, each cell looks selected if that item is supposed to be selected.
Every time you use segue to call an UICollectionView a new instance of UICollectionView is created and hence states of selected cells doesn't get restored.
I believe u must have taken an array of index paths of selected indexes to show the visual changes in the cell.
Make your tableView class as delegate of UICollectionView. Using its delegate methods return the selected index array to tableView class .And before pushing to UICollectionView send the same array of index paths back to the UICollectionView. Hope it helps.. Happy Coding.. :)

Make 2 different cells and reload the table view accordingly.
I have a UITableView that is separated into sections with one row each. Each row contains a horizontally scrolled UICollectionView. I am wanting to add the functionality for editing this list when I tap a general edit button in the top of my Navigation Controller. The issue that I'm thinking of is that all of the content will still move around and be active (tapping on a cell in the CollectionView will open a different page). I am wanting the edit mode to either disable that functionality or slide all of the content over simultaneously and have an edit button next to them all. When this edit button is pressed it will take the user to an edit page specific to that rows content (so no delete functionality here). Another reason why I am having a difficult time is that all of the content in the table will be loaded via data so I don't want to reload any of it.
Bottom line is that I need to select a single row and it must be done via a button that slides in or altering the functionality of the content there to act as a button. I cannot reload the data in the rows, though because it is loaded via internet data.
I have a UITableView, and want to let users edit the text of a cell. I want to popup a new UIView to let them enter some text in textfield, then dismiss the view and replace the cell's label text. Is it possible?
This is kind of an advanced move, Vikas. The programming of and user interaction with table view cells is tricky. The reason is that the UI code is a bit tricky because of the scrollable view, and you have to be prepared for the table cells to move or change if the table data is reloaded.
Is there another way you can achieve the result you're looking for? Could you design your table view so that when a cell is selected, you push a new view onto the navigation stack, and have UI components on that view that enable the user to edit the value?
This is the way that Apple does the Settings on iOS. When you select a row, you are shown a new view that has appropriate editing or selection controls.
You should use the textLabel property.
