Disclosure indicator to specific cell in static TableView in Swift - ios

Question

I created a static TableView and I would like to add or remove a disclosure indicator depending if we are consulting our own account or a guest account.
This is what I would like :
let index = IndexPath(row: 4, section: 0)
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: index)
if currentUser {
cell.accessoryType = .none
//cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}
I tried to put it in the viewDidLoad function but it didn't work. I tried cellForRowAt indexPath also and same result.
How could I do that?

Answer 1

Just check if you want to show disclosure indicator in cellForRowAt indexPath method.
if (wantsToShow){ // Your condition goes here
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.DisclosureIndicator
}
else{
cell.accessoryType = .none
}
That's it.

Answer 2

Your are working with static cells so cellForRow will not get called. Instead, simply drag connect your cell and set it up, like this

Answer 3

Please use below code in cellForRowTableView code
It will work for you
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
if currentUser {
// Own Account
cell.accessoryType = .none
//cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}else{
//Guest Account
cell.accessoryType =.checkmark
}
}

Answer 4

Swift
Specific cell
if indexPath.row == 1 {
cell.accessoryType = .disclosureIndicator
} else {
cell.accessoryType = .none
}

Answer 5

To add accessory on a specific static cell, I used tableView, cellForRowAt but i couldn't access a reference to UITableViewCell.
Then i found super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)
So here is my code:
Assuming you know the specific indexpath you want:
var indexPathSort = IndexPath(item: 0, section: 0)
var indexPathPrice = IndexPath(item: 0, section: 1)
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)
if indexPath == indexPathSort || indexPath == indexPathPrice {
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
}
return cell
}
