Shortage on UITableView cell count - ios

Question

I am currently using two prototype cells to have my collectionView in top cell moving horizontally while all other cells moves vertical. It's still short one cell count at the bottom and I can't seem to figure out why.
This is the code. Can you point out where the issue is please?
//Mark:- Data arrays
var dataArray: [String] = ["c1","c2","c3","c4","c5"]
var cellArray: [String] = ["10","11","12","13","14","15"]
//Mark:- UITableView Delegate
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return cellArray.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == 0 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MainTableViewCell") as! MainTableViewCell
return cell
} else {
let cell2 = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CustomTableViewCell") as! CustomTableViewCell
cell2.cellImage.image = UIImage(named: cellArray[indexPath.row])
return cell2
}
}
//Mark:- UICollectionView Delegate
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return dataArray.count
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "InsideCollectionViewCell", for: indexPath) as! InsideCollectionViewCell
cell.myImage.image = UIImage(named: dataArray[indexPath.row])
return cell
}

Answer 1

It seems you want your table view to contain the values in your cellArray array plus one extra special row at index 0.
In order to do this you need to indicate that there is an extra row and your indexing needs to account for the extra row.
But a simpler approach is to use multiple sections in your table view. Use section 0 for the extra special row and use section 1 for the values in your cellArray.
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 2
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return section == 0 ? 1 : cellArray.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.section == 0 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MainTableViewCell") as! MainTableViewCell
return cell
} else {
let cell2 = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CustomTableViewCell") as! CustomTableViewCell
cell2.cellImage.image = UIImage(named: cellArray[indexPath.row])
return cell2
}
}
Make sure you adjust for the use of multiple sections in any other table view method you may implement (such as didSelectRowAt, etc.).
For the sake of comparison, here is how you would need to change your code if you want all of the rows in one section:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return cellArray.count + 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == 0 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MainTableViewCell") as! MainTableViewCell
return cell
} else {
let cell2 = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CustomTableViewCell") as! CustomTableViewCell
cell2.cellImage.image = UIImage(named: cellArray[indexPath.row - 1])
return cell2
}
}
