Here I want to display these data into two sections in my table view, I have the following arrays from the model.
Here I getting entire data into a single model and both are visible at the top.
var TotalbooksList : [BooksList]!
var RecomendBooks : [BooksList]!
var tableData: [(title: String, list: [BooksList]?)] {
return [(title: "Recomended Books", list: RecomendBooks),
(title: "Total Books", list: TotalbooksList)]
}
I write following Delegate Methods but I don't get data into a second section
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return self.tableData.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return tableData[section].list?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "RecomandBookTVCell", for: indexPath)as!RecomandBookTVCell
if let data = self.tableData[indexPath.section].list, data.count > 0 {
let model = data[indexPath.row]
cell.selectionStyle = .none
cell.booktitle.text = model.title ?? ""
cell.bookAuthor.text = model.author ?? ""
if model.photo != ""{
cell.bookimage.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: Services.BaseURL + (model.photo ?? "")), placeholderImage: UIImage(named: ""))
}
cell.genrelbl.text = model.genre ?? ""
cell.addlog.tag = indexPath.row
cell.addlog.addTarget(self, action: #selector(addLog(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
}
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 150
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 50
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
tableData[section].title
}
You are returning wrong value in numberOfRowsInSection method else condition
And you are using TotalbooksList array for section 0 in numberOfRowsInSection method and using RecomendBooks array for section 0 in cellForRow method. Change it to use proper array.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var totalbooksList: [BooksList]!
var recomendBooks: [BooksList]!
var tableData: [(title: String, list: [BooksList]?)] {
return [(title: "Recomended Books", list: totalbooksList),
(title: "Total Books", list: recomendBooks)]
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return self.tableData.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return tableData[section].list?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "RecomandBookTVCell", for: indexPath) as! RecomandBookTVCell
if let data = self.tableData[indexPath.section].list, data.count > 0 {
let model = data[indexPath.row]
cell.selectionStyle = .none
cell.booktitle.text = model.title ?? ""
cell.bookAuthor.text = model.author ?? ""
if model.photo != ""{
cell.bookimage.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: Services.BaseURL + (model.photo ?? "")), placeholderImage: UIImage(named: ""))
}
cell.genrelbl.text = model.genre ?? ""
cell.addlog.tag = indexPath.row
cell.addlog.addTarget(self, action: #selector(addLog(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
}
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 150
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 44
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
tableData[section].title
}
}
I am trying to use a dictionary for a tableView datasource, I am getting an object back from the database that contains a key and an array of values, so a [String: [String]]
var requestedList = [String]()
var keyArr = [String]()
var requestedDictionary = [String: [String]]()
let tQuery = PFQuery(className: "MyClass")
tQuery.whereKey("username", equalTo: PFUser.current()?.username as Any)
tQuery.selectKeys(["descContent", "header"])
do {
let returnedObjects = try tQuery.findObjects()
for object in returnedObjects {
let header = object["header"] as! String
keyArr.append(header)
if let arr = object["descContent"] as! [String]? {
requestedDictionary[header] = arr
requestedList += arr
}
}
} catch {
}
I can't seem to correspond the values correctly to the rows of the tableView however, I was suggested to use an array to store the values which is what I have done with the keyArr. My problem is how do I access the contents of the keys and the corresponding values in the datasource methods?? This is what I have so far but I haven't been able to link the keys and values accordingly
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return requestedList.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "RequestViewCell", for: indexPath) as! RequestViewCell
cell.descLbl.text = "Your ticket has been requested by \(requestedList[indexPath.row])"
cell.refLbl.text = "for: \(keyArr[indexPath.row])"
cell.leftBtn.tag = (indexPath.section * 100) + indexPath.row
cell.leftBtn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(leftClick(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
cell.rightBtn.tag = (indexPath.section * 100) + indexPath.row
cell.rightBtn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(rightClick(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
return cell
}
You can turn dictionary into tableView representable data this way.
let requestedDictionary:[String: [String]] = [
"Key-1":["Value-1","Value-2","Value-3","Value-4"],
"Key-A":["Value-X","Value-Y","Value-Z"],
"Key-a":["Value-x","Value-y"],
]
lazy var data:[(key:String,values:[String])] = requestedDictionary.compactMap({(key:$0,values:$1)})
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
data.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return data[section].values.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = UITableViewCell()
cell.textLabel?.text = data[indexPath.section].values[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return data[section].key
}
Hope it helps.

Sorry this tutorial is quite poor.
Swift is an object oriented language so use a custom model, a generic Section object with name, items and the information if the section is collapsed
class Section<T> {
var name : String
var items = [T]()
var isCollapsed = false
init(name : String, items : [T] = []) {
self.name = name
self.items = items
}
}
and a suitable struct for the items with a title and a closure to be called in didSelect
struct Item {
let title : String
let selectorClosure : (() -> Void)?
}
Rather than using multiple arrays populate the data source array consistently
var sections = [Section<Item>(name:"xxxx1", items: [Item(title: "a", selectorClosure: APICalla), Item(title: "b", selectorClosure: APICallb)]),
Section<Item>(name:"xxxx2", items: [Item(title: "c", selectorClosure: APICallc)]),
Section<Item>(name:"xxxx3")]
In numberOfRowsInSection return the proper number of items depending on isCollapsed
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
let currentSection = sections[section]
return (currentSection.isCollapsed) ? 0 : currentSection.items.count
}
In cellForRow don't use typeless Foundation collection types
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellIdentifer, for: indexPath)
let item = sections[indexPath.section].items[indexPath.row]
cell.textLabel?.textColor = UIColor.black
cell.textLabel?.text = item.title
return cell
}
In the method to collapse/expand the sections just toggle isCollapsed
let currentSection = sections[section]
currentSection.isCollapsed.toggle()
and perform the animation
titleForHeaderInSection is much simpler, too
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return sections[section].name
}
In didSelectRow never get any data from the view (the cell) get it from the model (the data source array) and call the selector closure. With this logic a switch is not needed.
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: false)
let item = sections[indexPath.section].items[indexPath.row]
item.selectorClosure?()
}

I have created grouped sections in UITableView but values are getting duplicate. How to populate items under each section? Sections I already created. Few Title items are null.
SectionList --> Title --> Items
Like:
Bir have one item
Proj Plan have null item
Proj Ev has three items
I want to display textField in every section Title.
code:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "AppD", withExtension: "json") {
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: url)
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let jsonData = try decoder.decode(AppointmentDetail.self, from: data)
self.AppData = jsonData
self.tableView.reloadData()
} catch {
print("error:\(error)")
}
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 50
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return AppData?.sectionList?[section].title
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return AppData?.sectionList?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return AppData?.sectionList?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "tableCell", for: indexPath)
// Configure the cell...
if let sections = AppData?.sectionList?[indexPath.section].items {
for item in sections {
if item.textField != "" {
cell.textLabel?.text = item.textField
}
}
}
Make changes as below
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return AppData?.sectionList?[section].items?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "tableCell", for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = AppData?.sectionList?[indexPath.section].items?[indexPath.row].textField
cell.textLabel?.sizeToFit()
cell.textLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
For Adding HeaderView XIB to table view
var tableHeaderViewObj : BookNowHotelDetailHeader?
inViewdidload
tableHeaderViewObj = BookNowHotelDetailHeader(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: (window?.frame.width)!, height: 350))
self.BookNowTV.tableHeaderView = tableHeaderViewObj
tableHeaderViewObj?.parentVC = self
tableHeaderViewObj?.UpdateBookNowHotelData(Obj: hotelDetailObj ?? HotelDetailModal())
I have a list of names sorted alphabetically, and now I want display these names in a table view. I'm struggling with grouping these names for each letter.
My code looks like this:
let sections:Array<AnyObject> = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"]
var usernames = [String]()
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
let cellID = "cell"
let cell: UITableViewCell = self.tv.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellID) as UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel?.text = usernames[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int{
return usernames.count
}
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int{
return 26
}
func sectionIndexTitlesForTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> [AnyObject]!{
return self.sections
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
sectionForSectionIndexTitle title: String,
atIndex index: Int) -> Int{
return index
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String?{
return self.sections[section] as? String
}
and it all works pretty good except for the grouping which makes my table view end up like this:
So I know you should be able to use the filtered function in an Array, but I did not understand how to implement it.
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
In Swift 4 Dictionary(grouping:by:) was introduced to group a sequence to a dictionary by an arbitrary predicate.
This example maps the grouped dictionary to a custom struct Section
struct Section {
let letter : String
let names : [String]
}
...
let usernames = ["John", "Nancy", "James", "Jenna", "Sue", "Eric", "Sam"]
var sections = [Section]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// group the array to ["N": ["Nancy"], "S": ["Sue", "Sam"], "J": ["John", "James", "Jenna"], "E": ["Eric"]]
let groupedDictionary = Dictionary(grouping: usernames, by: {String($0.prefix(1))})
// get the keys and sort them
let keys = groupedDictionary.keys.sorted()
// map the sorted keys to a struct
sections = keys.map{ Section(letter: $0, names: groupedDictionary[$0]!.sorted()) }
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cellID = "cell"
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellID, for: indexPath)
let section = sections[indexPath.section]
let username = section.names[indexPath.row]
cell.textLabel?.text = username
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return sections[section].names.count
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return sections.count
}
func sectionIndexTitles(for tableView: UITableView) -> [String]? {
return sections.map{$0.letter}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return sections[section].letter
}
This is how I recently implemented sorted list in a tableView in Swift programmatically,
import UIKit
class BreedController: UITableViewController{
var breeds = ["A": ["Affenpoo", "Affenpug", "Affenshire", "Affenwich", "Afghan Collie", "Afghan Hound"], "B": ["Bagle Hound", "Boxer"]]
struct Objects {
var sectionName : String!
var sectionObjects : [String]!
}
var objectArray = [Objects]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.classForCoder(), forCellReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
// SORTING [SINCE A DICTIONARY IS AN UNSORTED LIST]
var sortedBreeds = sorted(breeds) { $0.0 < $1.0 }
for (key, value) in sortedBreeds {
println("\(key) -> \(value)")
objectArray.append(Objects(sectionName: key, sectionObjects: value))
}
}
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return objectArray.count
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return objectArray[section].sectionObjects.count
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UITableViewCell
// SETTING UP YOUR CELL
cell.textLabel?.text = objectArray[indexPath.section].sectionObjects[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return objectArray[section].sectionName
}
}

You can put your arrays with names into dictionary with letter keys.
For example
var names = ["a": ["and", "array"], "b": ["bit", "boring"]]; // dictionary with arrays setted for letter keys
then you need to access values in your dictionary in the next way
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int{
return names[usernames[section]].count; // maybe here is needed to convert result of names[...] to NSArray before you can access count property
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
let cellID = "cell"
let cell: UITableViewCell = self.tv.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellID) as UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel?.text = names[usernames[indexPath.section]][indexPath.row]; // here you access elements in arrray which is stored in names dictionary for usernames[indexPath.section] key
return cell
}
In case, if your data array is not predefined, here's a way to achieve the same thing.
Let's say our class is ViewController.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var contactDictionary = [String: [Contact]]() //Contact is a model, it has firstName and lastName properties
var keys = [String]()
var alphabets = (97...122).map { "\(Character(UnicodeScalar.init($0)))" }.map { $0.uppercased() } //Populating alphabets
... // other properties
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//set delegate and register cell for your tableView
self.setContacts()
}
private func setContacts() {
//Loop through your array, take the firstName, and the first character of that string.
//Check the uppercase value of that character, if it's an alphabet or not, otherwise, we'd place "#" for the names starting with a number in the header.
var temp = [String: [Contact]]() //A temporary dictionary
for contact in self.contacts {
if let firstName = contact.firstName, !firstName.isEmpty { //In my case, the firstName is an optional string
let firstChar = "\(firstName.first!)".uppercased()
if alphabets.contains(firstChar) {
var array = temp[firstChar] ?? []
array.append(contact)
temp[firstChar] = array
} else {
var array = temp["#"] ?? []
array.append(contact)
temp["#"] = array
}
}
}
self.keys = Array(temp.keys).sorted() //Populating and sorting all the keys alphabetically.
for key in self.keys { self.contactDictionary[key] = temp[key] }
//reload table
}
}
extension: ViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return self.contactDictionary.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.contactDictionary[keys[section]]?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let key = self.keys[indexPath.section]
let cell: //dequeue your cell here.
if let row = self.contactDictionary[key]?[indexPath.row] {
cell.display(with: row) //Bind your cell's outlets with the properties
return cell
}
//handle error
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let key = self.keys[indexPath.section]
if let row = self.contactDictionary[key]?[indexPath.row] {
//handle selection.
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? { //You can use viewForHeaderInSection either.
return self.keys[section]
