Swift when press button in cell give duplicated in other cells - ios

Im retrieve data from firebese and show in tableView
In tavleViewCell I have butons : like, unLike
when I press like need to hide likeButton and show UnlikeButton
And store/remove data from firebase
Now I create metods and when I click Like -> data save to firebase and show unlikeButton BUT unlikeButton shows in another cell's(not in all cells- example if I click in 0 indexPath.row, unlikeButton shows in 0,6,12,17..) Maybe this may happen when I scroll tableView
in cell I have :
protocol TableThemeQuote {
func likeTap(_ sender: ThemesQuoteCell)
func unlikeTap(_ sender: ThemesQuoteCell)
}
class ThemesQuoteCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var likeBtn: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var unlikeBtn: UIButton!
var themeDelegate: TableThemeQuote?
var index: indexPath?
#IBAction func likeBtn(_ sender: UIButton) {
sender.tag = index.row
themeDelegate?.likeTap(self)
}
#IBAction func unLikeBtn(_ sender: UIButton) {
sender.tag = index.row
themeDelegate?.unlikeTap(self)
}
}
In ViewController:
var userMarks: [String] = [String]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
likeLike()
}
func likeLike() {
let userUID = Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid
let ref = Database.database().reference().child("users").child("\(userUID)")
ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in
if let properties = snapshot.value as? [String : AnyObject] {
if let peopleWhoLike = properties["userLikes"] as? [String : AnyObject] {
self.likeLikeL.append(peopleWhoLike)
for (id,person) in peopleWhoLike {
self.userLikeCheck.updateValue(person, forKey: id)
self.userMarks.append(person as! String)
}
}
}
})
}
In cellForRowAt indexPath:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "themesQuoteCell") as! ThemesQuoteCell
let index = indexPath.row
cell.index = index
cell.themeDelegate = self
let mark = "Темы/\(themeName)/\(quotenumber[index.row])"
if userMarks.contains(mark){
if cell.likeBtn.tag == index.row {
cell.likeBtn.isHidden = true
cell.unlikeBtn.isHidden = false
break
}
}
return cell
}
In TableThemeQuote extension:
extension ThemeQuoteVC: TableThemeQuote {
func likeTap(_ sender: ThemesQuoteCell) {
guard let tappedIndexPath = themeQuoteTableView.indexPath(for: sender) else { return }
let ref = Database.database().reference().child("Темы").child("\(self.themeName)").child("\(quotenumber[tappedIndexPath.row])")
let keyToPost = ref.childByAutoId().key!
let updateLikes: [String : Any] = ["peopleWhoLike/\(keyToPost)" : Auth.auth().currentUser!.uid]
ref.updateChildValues(updateLikes, withCompletionBlock: { (error, reff) in
if error == nil {
ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snap) in
if let properties = snap.value as? [String : AnyObject] {
if let likes = properties["peopleWhoLike"] as? [String : AnyObject] {
let count = likes.count
sender.likeLbl.text = "\(count)"
let update = ["quant" : count]
ref.updateChildValues(update)
sender.likeBtn.isHidden = true
sender.unlikeBtn.isHidden = false
sender.likeBtn.isEnabled = true
}
}
})
}
})
ref.removeAllObservers()
}
func unlikeTap(_ sender: ThemesQuoteCell) {
sender.unlikeBtn.isEnabled = false
guard let uid = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid else { return }
let ref = Database.database().reference().child("users").child("\(uid)")
guard let tappedIndexPath = themeQuoteTableView.indexPath(for: sender) else { return }
let mark = "Темы/\(themeName)/\(quotenumber[tappedIndexPath.row])"
unlikeCellBtn(index: tappedIndexPath.row, sender: sender)
if sender.unlikeBtn.tag == tappedIndexPath.row {
ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in
if let properties = snapshot.value as? [String : AnyObject] {
if let peopleWhoLike = properties["userLikes"] as? [String : AnyObject] {
for (id,person) in peopleWhoLike {
if person as! String == mark {
ref.child("userLikes").child(id).removeValue(completionBlock: { (error, reff) in
if error == nil {
ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snap) in
if let prop = snap.value as? [String : AnyObject] {
if let likes = prop["userLikes"] as? [String : AnyObject] {
let count = likes.count
ref.updateChildValues(["quantLikes" : count])
}else {
ref.updateChildValues(["quantLikes" : 0])
}
}
})
}
})
sender.likeBtn.isHidden = false
sender.unlikeBtn.isHidden = true
sender.unlikeBtn.isEnabled = true
break
}
}
}
}
})
}
ref.removeAllObservers()
}
What Im doing wrong and how can I get current tap and show/hide only that button which I press?

Cells are reused. This part of the code
if userMarks.contains(mark){
if cell.likeBtn.tag == index.row {
cell.likeBtn.isHidden = true
cell.unlikeBtn.isHidden = false
break
}
}
sets the hidden properties depending on some conditions but keeps the hidden state unchanged if the conditions are not met.
What you have to do is to add an else clause to set default values (by the way, the break statement is pointless)
if userMarks.contains(mark) && cell.likeBtn.tag == index.row {
cell.likeBtn.isHidden = true
cell.unlikeBtn.isHidden = false
} else {
cell.likeBtn.isHidden = <default value>
cell.unlikeBtn.isHidden = <default value>
}

Comp tableview got duplicated when segue back from Dft tableview

Can someone tell me which part of my code is not correct?
There two two files CompDftVC.swift and SelectDftVC.swift, when clock at tableview (CompDftVC) which segue to another tableview (SelectDftVC), which I make some selection and click 'Save' to segue back, then I got duplicate records at the initial tableview.

How can i get global defined like "dictionary.count" return value?

I'm trying to fetch specific user messages from Firebase Real-Time database.I want to fill chatLogTableView with the user messages.I'm fetching user messages datas from firebase with fetchCurrentUserMessages() function.
In this function :
self.messagesDatas.append(message)
print(self.messagesDatas)
When i try to print the self.messagesDatas its okay.But when the tableview trying to retrieve self.messagesDatas.count for numberOfRowsInSection i'm getting 0 count.Why this is happening ?
Here is my code :
import UIKit

Swift Firebase "Cannot assign value of type 'Information' to type 'NSDictionary?'"

I have a tableview that is being populated with who a user is following. Problem is that I need to pass that cells data to "var otherUser: NSDictionary!" but because I am populating the cell using a data structure file called "Information" I get this error - "Cannot assign value of type 'Information' to type 'NSDictionary?'" in the prepareForSegue. I am unsure if I can repackage the information I need into a NSDictionary so I can successfully do a data pass. I just don't know if this is a easy solution or an actual problem because of my ignorance.

"Information" Data Structure File

The error is pretty clear.
user in ExploreBusinessProfileSwitchView is obviously declared as NSDictionary, declare it as Information.
By the way don't use NSArray / NSDictionary in Swift. Use native types.

Swift Firebase TableView Data - DataEventType.value

I am doing a call into a child "following" and am seeing if the logged-in user's UID is there and has a child of another user which the logged-in user is following.
I am printing who the logged-in user is following into a tableview. The first problem is my code, because I know it is bad practice to have two firebase calls within each other so I need someone to teach me a better method. Because of the poor code, when I go unfollow the other user and come back to the tab where the logged-in users list of who they are following is displayed it shows this (image below). When the logged-in user is following nobody it should just display the "Sorry!" text, yet still keeps who the user was following. Need someone to teach me a better method for doing this type of firebase call. Code and a firebase JSON stack image are below... In the firebase JSON stack image, the expanded UID is the logged-in user and the child in is the other user the logged-in user is following. I need a better way to call and extract this information, I am just ignorant of how-to.
func getFollowingData() {
Database.database().reference().child("following").child(uid!).observe(DataEventType.value, with: { (snapshot) in
if snapshot.exists() {
print("Got Snapshot")
Database.database().reference().child("following").child(self.uid!).observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in
if snapshot.exists() {
print(snapshot)
let snapshot = snapshot.value as? NSDictionary
self.listFollowing.append(snapshot)
self.followingTableView.insertRows(at: [IndexPath(row:self.listFollowing.count-1,section:0)], with: UITableViewRowAnimation.automatic)
self.followingTableView.backgroundView = nil
}
})
} else {
print("No Snapshot")
self.followingTableView.backgroundView = self.noDataView
}
})
}
Figured it out, just needed to do it how I did it before on other feeds.

Check For Empty Array From JSON

I am trying to get an array of strings from JSON and I'm trying to figure out how to deal with it if the returned array is empty. In some cases, the returned value is [] and for other cases, the array contains string values. It is crashing because of unexpectedly finding a nil value.
For clarification, the gyms array is passed from another class and everything here works without the code for the images.
Here is my relevant code:
var gyms = [AnyObject]()
var imageArrays = [[String]?]()
In viewDidLoad()
getGymImages()
Methods to get JSON data:
func getGymImages() {
var index = 0
for dictionary in gyms {
let id = dictionary["id"] as! String
let urlString = String("https://gyminyapp.azurewebsites.net/api/GymImage/\(id)")
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
do {
let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)
for imageArray in json as! [AnyObject] {
imageArrays.append((imageArray as? [String])!)
}
} catch {
print("Error")
}
index += 1
}
addImagesToGyms()
}
func addImagesToGyms() {
var index = 0;
for array in imageArrays {
var dictionary = gyms[index] as! [String:AnyObject]
dictionary["images"] = array
gyms[index] = dictionary
index += 1
}
}
In cellForRowAtIndexPath()
let gymImages = dictionary["images"] as! [String]
if gymImages.count > 0 {
let firstImageURL = gymImages[0] as String
cell.cellImageView.sd_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: firstImageURL))
}
EDIT: I was asked to show more of the file, so here it is.

numberOfRowsInSection should be returning gymImages.count if it isn't already.
Then as a safeguard you can always do
if indexPath.row < gymImages.count {
}
before accessing the content in cellForRowAtIndexPath
