I am using an expandable tableview in swift. Suppose there are three rows in the tableview. Each row has on one view for their expandable. Now I expand the 2nd row, and reload either the full tableview or the particular 2nd row. In that case the expanded view get collapsed. But I want that the expanded cell doesn't get collapsed. So, is there any suggestion how can I stop collapsing the cell after reload?
the best way would be to post an issue to the github repository, I believe the original developer can fix it.

I want to customize my tableview. I want to add another tableview in cell. Can we add tableview in cell of another tableview?
Please give me some ideas.
You can embed a UITableView into another UITableView's cell, but due to potential issues with the embedded UIScrollViews it is not recommended.
If you feel like you need a table in a table, first consider if it is not possible to achieve the desired behavior by using sections and cells in the sections (a section in a table might represent the top tableView's cell, and cells in the given section would represent the embedded tableView's cells).
There is no problem with adding a UITableView into a a UITableViewCell, since both of them are UIViews its simply would be translated to adding a subview to a view...
However, keep in mind to consider the following issues:
1- From a user experience perspective, that would be a vertical scroll view inside another vertical scroll view (are you ok with that?).
2- For each cell -in the main container table view-, you would need to handle the table view delegates/datasources. For understanding the logic of how this could be done, you might want to check:
Is it possible to add UITableView within a UITableViewCell.
Putting a UICollectionView in a UITableViewCell in Swift: although it is about adding a UICollectionView inside the cell, it helps to gain the logic of how to achieve such a task.
I am working on a UITableView which has 2 sections, both of which have exactly 1 row which is a custom cell. This custom cell has a collection view which is used to display various products.
Specific to my issue, the two collection views have 6 cells(three rows in the collection view). However when I load the page, the second section only displays 4 cells (two rows in the collection view). I am using UITableViewAutomaticDimension for the tableview which has the cells that contain these collection views.
I have tried using setLayoutNeeded and layoutIfNeeded, I am calling reload data on the tableView in a number of places. I am reloading the second section specifically as well. However the only way the cell's dimensions get fixed is if I scroll down to the second section, then scroll up to the first and then go back to the second.
I have been stuck on this for the past 3 days and absolutely any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to this, I think you should reload your collection views firstly. And then reload your table view.
Recently I have been trying to create a table view with different table view cells. What I want to do is that when users click on each table view cell, it shows an extra cell underneath the selected cell to handle user inputs and the extra section disappears when the cell is unselected.
I am fairly new to iOS development and I am wondering what would be the best way to achieve this. At the moment I am thinking of hiding the extra cells initially and displaying each of them when the cell above is selected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Apple has a great set of sample code that demonstrates the behavior you're looking for — displaying a cell beneath another cell when selected. This behavior is used in Calendar when displaying a date picker, and it's pretty much what you've described.
Question: Will each cell have an identical set of options?
If so, I'd consider including the user inputs as part of the source cell and adjusting the height of the source on selection. You can animate the cell's height changing using tableView's beginUpdates and endUpdates. This way, you avoid messing around with cell indices.
I know the title is confusing. So I explain what I expect.
I have 3 sections in my table view. The first section has one or more rows. And second and third sections has only one row. When the first section has more than 4 rows the next sections going to be visible by scrolling table view bottom.
But I need these sections be visible in this case.
Actually I need show these sections at the bottom of the visible frame when first section has more than 4 rows!
Is it possible ?
The thing you can do it to display only the 3 first rows of the first section and then when the user starts scrolling, you add the additional cells to the first section while he is scrolling until you've added all of your cell.
Do the opposite when scrolling to top.
You can use two different TableView instead of one.
declare first TableView with only one section & seconds TableView with two section with one row each.
for that you need to use UIViewController instead of UITableViewController.
in this way your bottom TableView Cell always stay visible while first TableView can scroll with more cells.
I'm having a problem with UITableView section animations very similar to this post. Unfortunately, no one seems to have found an answer for this.
I have a table view with multiple sections that expand and close when the first cell in each section is selected. There no adding or removing of cell, just collapsing and expanding the section.
My problem is that the sections' header titles are flashing white momentarily before returning to normal, whenever the following method is used.
[self.tableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:1] withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
Only the title of the section being collapsed is flashing white though. Has anyone else had this problem or found a solution?
I'm using this same design in another table where this is not an issue. One thing to note here though, is that my cells are a custom subclass of the UITableCell and are larger than the first cell that is used to collapse the section.
Maybe something about ios laying out the cells on section animation is making the section header title flash white?
I can post a code example it it'll help.
