Two Button click event in single cell in TableView in iOS(Xamarin) - ios

Question

I am making custom cell in xamarin iOS. In the cell I have two Button which is display in the below figure.
Figure :
Two Button are :
Create Appointment
View Detail
I want to create this two different Button click Event in My Source class so that I can send data to different ViewController for my purpose.
Code :
TableCell class :
public partial class CaseHistoryTableCell : UITableViewCell
{
public static readonly NSString Key = new NSString("CaseHistoryTableCell");
public static readonly UINib Nib;
static CaseHistoryTableCell()
{
Nib = UINib.FromName("CaseHistoryTableCell", NSBundle.MainBundle);
}
public CaseHistoryTableCell(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
{
// Note: this .ctor should not contain any initialization logic.
}
public static CaseHistoryTableCell Create()
{
return (CaseHistoryTableCell)Nib.Instantiate(null, null)[0];
}
public void BindData(string hospitalLabel, string addressLabel, string drLabel, string patientLabel)
{
this.lbl_hospitalName.Text = hospitalLabel;
this.lbl_address.Text = addressLabel;
this.lbl_drName.Text = drLabel;
this.lbl_patientName.Text = patientLabel;
this.lbl_address.TextColor = UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#000000", 0.54f);
this.lbl_patientName.TextColor = UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#000000", 0.54f);
this.lbl_caseDate.TextColor = UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#000000", 0.54f);
this.lbl_scheDate.TextColor = UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#000000", 0.54f);
this.lbl_hospitalName.TextColor = UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#000000", 0.87f);
this.lbl_drName.TextColor = UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#000000", 0.87f);
this.btn_createAppointment.SetTitleColor(UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#0072BA", 1.0f), UIControlState.Normal);
this.btn_viewDetail.SetTitleColor(UIColor.Clear.FromHexString("#0072BA", 1.0f), UIControlState.Normal);
}
public override CGRect Frame
{
get
{
return base.Frame;
}
set
{
value.Y += 4;
value.Height -= 2 * 4;
base.Frame = value;
}
}
}
Source Class :
public class CaseHistorySourceClass : UITableViewSource
{
private List<CaseSearchItem> caseSearchItems;
public CaseSearchItem caseSearchItem;
public static event EventHandler RowClicked;
public CaseHistorySourceClass(List<CaseSearchItem> caseSearchItems)
{
this.caseSearchItems = caseSearchItems;
}
public override UITableViewCell GetCell(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
CaseHistoryTableCell cell = tableView.DequeueReusableCell(CaseHistoryTableCell.Key) as CaseHistoryTableCell ?? CaseHistoryTableCell.Create();
var item = caseSearchItems[indexPath.Row];
cell.BindData(item.Organization, item.Address, item.Doctor, item.UserName);
cell.Layer.MasksToBounds = false;
cell.Layer.CornerRadius = 10.0f;
cell.BackgroundColor = UIColor.White;
cell.SetNeedsLayout();
cell.LayoutIfNeeded();
return cell;
}
public override nint RowsInSection(UITableView tableview, nint section)
{
return caseSearchItems.Count;
}
}
My Question :
It is possible to Create two different Button click event in a single Cell.
If yes then How ?
and If No then what is alternative to Perform this type of operation.
Note : I doesn't want to require RowSelected. I only require how to
perform this two different Button click Event.

Answer 1

Don't do such operation on RowSelected
Setting Target with selector will help you out .
public override UITableViewCell GetCell(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
CaseHistoryTableCell cell = tableView.DequeueReusableCell(CaseHistoryTableCell.Key) as CaseHistoryTableCell ?? CaseHistoryTableCell.Create();
var item = caseSearchItems[indexPath.Row];
// setTag to button to identify in which row button is pressed
cell.btnCreateAppointment.tag=indexPath.Row;
cell.btnViewDetail.tag=indexPath.row;
// set Target to a method
cell.btnCreateAppointment.TouchUpInside += createAppointment;
ell.btnViewDetail.TouchUpInside +=viewDetail;
}
These Method will be called when Press you button
public void createAppointment(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var row=sender.tag;
}
Second button Clicked event
public void viewDetail(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var row=sender.tag;
}
i hope this work.

Answer 2

You can do this by adding target action to button from your GetCell method:
first add following in your cell class to make buttons accessible:
public UIButton btnCreateAppointment {
get
{
return this.btn_createAppointment;
}
}
public UIButton btnViewDetail
{
get
{
return this.btn_viewDetail;
}
}
Now from modify your GetCell method to add action target
cell.btnCreateAppointment.tag = indexPath.Row;
cell.btnViewDetail.tag = indexPath.row;
//assign action
cell.btnCreateAppointment.TouchUpInside += (sender, e) =>
{
var row = ((UIButton)sender).Tag;
var item = caseSearchItems[row];
};
cell.btnViewDetail.TouchUpInside += (sender, e) =>
{
var row = ((UIButton)sender).Tag;
var item = caseSearchItems[row];
};
