UIView Not Rounded, UITableView Cell Recycling - ios

Question

I have a UIView within the cell of a UITableView. My cellForRowAtIndexPath rounds that view. When I open the viewcontroller and see the table, all the visible views are rounded. However, when I scroll down, the first new cell to appear does not have a rounded view. How do I fix it?
My cellForRowAtIndex looks like this:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "RepeatingCell", for: indexPath) as! CustomTableViewCell
cell.delegate = self
tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 0, 0, 0)
if (indexPath as NSIndexPath).row < tableListInfo_Context.count {
let task = tableListInfo_Context[(indexPath as NSIndexPath).row
let accState = task.value(forKey: "state") as? String
//Removed assigning labels their text
let mainView = cell.mainView
mainView.isHidden = false
let circleView = cell.viewToRound
circleView?.isHidden = false
circleView?.layer.cornerRadius = (circleView?.frame.size.width)!/2
circleView?.layer.masksToBounds = true
cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 1000, 0, 1000)
} else {
//My last cell hides several views to reveal a view under them
//If I comment this one line out, I get the not-rounded problem only once and it does not show up again even if I continue scrolling up / down
let mainView = cell.mainView
mainView.isHidden = true
let circleView = cell.viewToRound
circleView?.isHidden = true
}
I understand that UITableViews recycle cells and I think that's likely causing me problems. I think it's related to that last cell where I hide views.
In a list of 20 cells, sometimes a non-rounded view shows up as the first to scroll on screen, sometimes the second. As I scroll up/down, randomly a view isn't rounded! I know there's a reason/pattern, but I don't know what.
I also tried adding the rounding code to willDisplayCell:
let circleView = myCell.mainCircle
circleView?.layer.cornerRadius = (circleView?.frame.size.width)!/2
circleView?.layer.masksToBounds = true
However, that did not solve it. How inconsistent this is is very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Instead of setting layer properties of the view in cellForRowAtIndexPath, set them in your CustomTableViewCell class. You can set them in awakeFromNib Method.
In short move your below code to awakeFromNib.
let circleView = cell.viewToRound
circleView?.layer.cornerRadius = (circleView?.frame.size.width)!/2
circleView?.layer.masksToBounds = true
The sudo code could be something like this:
awakeFromNib(){
self.viewToRound?.layer.cornerRadius = (viewToRound?.frame.size.width)!/2
viewToRound?.layer.masksToBounds = true
}

Answer 2

#Adeel already told you the problem and the solution in his comment.
You always need to fully configure your cells in every case. Remember that when you get a recycled cell, it might be in any possible leftover state.
In your case, the key bit is:
if (indexPath as NSIndexPath).row < tableListInfo_Context.count {
//Configure cells that are not the last cell
} else {
//Configure cells the last cell
mainView.isHidden = true
}
You hide mainView in the case where you're configuring the last cell, but don't un-hide it if it's not the last cell. So, if you configure the last cell, scroll it off-screen, then scroll back towards the top of the screen, that recycled cell will get reused for an indexPath other than the last one, and it's mainView will never get un-hidden.
if (indexPath as NSIndexPath).row < tableListInfo_Context.count {
//Configure cells that are not the last cell
//-----------------------------
// This is what you are missing
mainView.isHidden = false
//-----------------------------
} else {
//Configure cells the last cell
mainView.isHidden = true
}
#VishalSonawane's answer is good, but to make that work you should use 2 different identifiers, one for all cells but the last one, and a different identifier, with a cell pre-configured with mainView hidden, for the last cell. That way you won't get a recycled last cell and try to use it for one of the other positions in your table view.

Try this, it will work.
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.viewToRound?.layer.cornerRadius = (viewToRound?.frame.size.width)!/2
viewToRound?.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
override func prepareForReuse() {
super.prepareForReuse()
self.viewToRound?.layer.cornerRadius = (viewToRound?.frame.size.width)!/2
viewToRound?.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
