How to change button image on tapped in repeating cell? - ios

Question

I'm doing todolist app and I need action for button, which on tapped will do change image in a cell which I tapped on it. Cell retrieves data from Firebase to UITableView. I used button and image outlets and both reported this error:
The button from the TaskViewController to the UIButton is invalid. Outlets cannot be connected to repeating content.
I have this code for retrieves data to cell:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TasksCell", for: indexPath) as! TasksCell
let arrayTasks = tasks[indexPath.row]
cell.taskName.text = arrayTasks.content
return cell
}
and I have this in Storyboard
object left of the label is button.
The button picture is set in storyboard.
I don't know how to do it, because I don't have much experience. Please help me.

Answer 1

Try:
Open the Identity Inspector.
Click the prototype cell.
Set the Class to TasksCell (in my example, it is WorkTableViewCell).
Click in the Module field, empty it, and press enter. It should change to Current - project_name_here (for example, Current - Artistry.
Here's a screenshot of what it should look like. Check it to make sure you selected the right items in the right order:
Then, delete the old outlet(s) to the cell (button, label, everything) from the Connections Inspector. Do that step while selecting the cell, and then while selecting the view controller (but while selecting the view controller, only delete the outlet to the "completed" button).
And finally, re-add them by opening the code (in a new window) for your TasksCell class, not the TaskViewController class (probably in TasksCell.swift), and directly under the line:
class TasksCell: UITableViewCell {
(or similar), hold control and drag the button, label, etc. as shown:
And finally, finish creating the new outlets only from the label, button, etc. to the TasksCell class as mentioned earlier (see note below before pressing "connect"):
Change the Name as necessary. It could be something like taskName for the label, or completedButton for the button. Do not change the Type or any other fields. Press "connect", and the code from your question should work.

Answer 2

In your TasksCell class, connect the button to the cell, and you can access it easier (yeah agree to #ingraham, you can't connect it to your view controller):
class TasksCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var buttonCheckbox: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var taskName: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var updatedDate: UILabel!
}

You can use image view for button. Also you can use this method for changing image
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelec tRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {}
Edit:
I made a table view cell class:
class TableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBAction func bAction(_ sender: Any) {
button.titleLabel?.text = "asdaf"
}
#IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
then I edit tableView function:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell: TableViewCell! = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier", for: indexPath) as? TableViewCell
cell.textLabel?.text = "abc"
// Configure the cell...
cell.bAction(Any.self)
return cell
}
