How do you generate your tableView data? If you use array of objects, then you could make it kind of like that:
CellItem class saves cell state
#interface CellItem : NSObject
#property BOOL isExpanded;
#end
Your custom cell class. Setup method customize your cell depending on CellItem object state
#interface ExpandableCell : UITableViewCell
- (void)setupWith:(CellItem *)cellItem;
#end
#implementation ExpandableCell
- (void)setupWith:(CellItem *)cellItem {
if(cellItem.isExpanded) {
//Expand your cell
} else {
//Don't exp and
}
}
#end
Array of objects where you get data for your tableView
#property NSArray<CellItem *> *items;
Protocol, which defines methods for cell state delegate. Implement this methods in class, which is also delegate of yourtableView. Call this method from cell everytime user expand / close it. In implementation save cellItem in items arrays.
#protocol ExpandableCellDelegate
- (void)cellDidChangeStateWithCellItem: (CellItem *)cellItem;
#end
UITableView cells are reusable, so everytime cell appears on a screen you should customize it again.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
CellItem *cellItem = self.items[indexPath.row];
ExpandableCell *cell = (ExpandableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"InsertYourCEllID"];
[cell setupWith:cellItem];
return cell;
}
