Hide element on select within table cell - Swift - ios

Question

I followed this app to build a table with custom cells: https://github.com/awseeley/Custom-Table-Cell
I am trying to expand a cell and show different content when the cell is clicked.
Here is what I have in my view controller:
var cellTapped:Bool = true
var currentRow = 0;
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
//CODE TO BE RUN ON CELL TOUCH
let selectedRowIndex = indexPath
currentRow = selectedRowIndex.row
let cell:TblCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! TblCell
cell.image.hidden = true
tableView.beginUpdates()
tableView.endUpdates()
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if indexPath.row == currentRow {
if cellTapped == false {
cellTapped = true
return 141
} else {
cellTapped = false
return 70
}
}
return 70
}
The cell expands when it is clicked and shrinks when it is clicked again. But the image does not hide. How do I get the image to hide? Is there a better way to show another custom .xib file when the cell is selected and have an expand/collapse effect?

Answer 1

You should add this implement below to your cellForRowAtIndexPath
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == currentRow {
if cellTapped == false {
cell.image.hidden = false
} else {
cell.image.hidden = true
}
}
return cell
}
And didSelectRowAtIndexPath you should remove wrong code:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
//CODE TO BE RUN ON CELL TOUCH
let selectedRowIndex = indexPath
currentRow = selectedRowIndex.row
tableView.reloadData()
}
If you want use want use tableView.beginUpdate() for better animation, you can reference to my demo:
