Getting buttons inside tableview - ios

Question

I want to add button inside UITableView with drag and drop but i don't know how to call them inside UITableviewCell.You can see a keyword Desc where I have to set them as button title so that I can get all values which I placed in coreData frameWork.
-(void)setquestions:(int)qid
{
NSManagedObject *singleobject = nil;
singleobject = AllQuestions[qid];
NSString * desc=[singleobject valueForKey:#"questionDesc"];
questionlabel.text=desc;
int qidns=[[singleobject valueForKey:#"questionId"]intValue];
NSArray *dummy=[self getoptions:qidns];
NSLog(#"--inside setquestion-%lu",(unsigned long)dummy.count);
for (int i=0; i<dummy.count; i++) {
NSManagedObject *singleobject = nil;
singleobject = dummy[i];
NSString * desc=[singleobject valueForKey:#"optionDesc"];
[self addbutton:desc bid:i];
}
}
-(void)addbutton:(NSString *)desc bid:(int)bid{
[[QBFlatButton appearance] setFaceColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:0.75 alpha:1.0] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[[QBFlatButton appearance] setSideColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:0.55 alpha:1.0] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
optionButton = [QBFlatButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
optionButton.faceColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.400f green:0.737f blue:0.761f alpha:1.00f];
optionButton.sideColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.400f green:0.737f blue:0.761f alpha:1.00f];
optionButton.radius = 4.0;
optionButton.margin = 4.0;
optionButton.depth = 3.0;
[optionButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
optionButton.titleLabel.font=[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12];
optionButton.titleLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
// you probably want to center it
optionButton.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
optionButton.tag=bid;
[optionButton setTitle:desc forState:UIControlStateNormal];
optionButton.frame = CGRectMake(5,bid*55,optionsview.frame.size.width-10, 50);
[optionsview addSubview:optionButton];
}
- (void)logItems {
int index = 0;
for ( NSString *str in self.items ) {
NSLog(#"%d: %#", index++, str);
}
}
#pragma mark - UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate

return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

if ( cell == nil ) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
}
return cell;

}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Can move cell
return YES;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)destinationIndexPath {
NSUInteger origins = sourceIndexPath.row; // Original position
NSUInteger to = destinationIndexPath.row; // Destination position
NSLog(#"Origin %lu, To %lu", (unsigned long)origins, (unsigned long)to);
NSString *swap = [self.items objectAtIndex:origin];// Item
[swap shouldGroupAccessibilityChildren];
}

Answer 1

As I understood from the question you want to get the button in the cell for that you can create a custom cell class and then call this custom cell inside the cellforrow function. You can call the button like this
customCell.button.title = "some-string"

Answer 2

If you want a custom button with a particular action added to each of the cells, first you need to create a custom UI cell(using XIB since you need to drag and drop). Then add the button to that, and connect the button's IBAction and IBOutlet to the custom subclass for the cell. Next Add a protocol with a function to the cell subclass so that you can send a callback to the ViewController when the button is clicked. Now implement the delegate in the ViewController and use this cell for your purpose. If the delegate function returns the cell, you can figure out which cell's button is clicked, hence getting the indexpath to perform required action.
