Swift 2 button in UITableViewCell - ios

I'm trying to figure out how to know which cell got it's button tapped.
I have a download button in each cell, and I need to know which cell's button got pressed so I can start a download of the correct item.
I have done it before in OBJ-C using blocks, but just can't get it together in Swift 2.
Anyone out there with a bit of code to share?

You can still use your objective-c approach (blocks == swift closures).
There is a lot of ways to do what you need.
You can detect which row was pressed with this:
func buttonTapped(sender:UIButton)
{
let touchPoint = sender.convertPoint(CGPoint.zero, toView:tableView); // get the location of the button inside the tableview
let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRowAtPoint(touchPoint); // ask tableview which row is at this point
println(indexPath); // it's works! :)
}
Hope it helps.

Is it possible to disable didSelectRowAtIndexPath in a part of row in UITableView?

I have a UITablaView in my Objective C application. I have the custom cells with a label and a UIImageView. I want to disable a part of the rows, to disable didSelectRowAtIndexPath when users click on this row's part.
I want this:
Is it possible?
Here is the simple and the most elegant solution that I can think off.
I believe you must be having a CustomCell, which holds the IBOutlet to imageView on the left side :) You can make use of hitTest method to solve your problem :)
In your CustomCell lets assume it to be MyTestCell class write this,
override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {
if self.myImageView.frame.contains(point) {
return nil
}
return super.hitTest(point, with: event)
}
Where myImageView is the IBOulet of imageView on the left hand side of your cell :)
All am doing is checking where did user tap, if the touch point is within the frame of cells imageView you return nil as the view. When you return nil touch event stops propagating to its parent views and finally will never reach cell hence didSelectRowAtIndexPath never called,
On the other hand you should handover touch to the next view and you do it simply by calling same method on its super iOS will eventually trace it back to cell and triggers didSelectRowAtIndexPath
Hope it helps :)
You can do a simple trick (without the need of writing code) to solve this issue, by adding a button that covers the part that you want to disable the selection of it. Obviously, the button should not have any text or background color (it should be clear color), also make sure to add suitable constraints for making sure that is covered the wanted part of the cell.
So when tapping on the button, nothing should happen and didselectRow should not get called because the actual touching event should be referred to the button, not to the row.
Hope this helped.
This is very simple trick,
Add a button on profile image part, means on red part as shown in picture (provided by you). And don't do on click on button click.
Happy Coding!!!!
Simply put the button over Green area and set tag for each button. Onclick you can perform your functionality using tag. Like this
inside
func tableView(tableView: UITableView,cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
let obj: AnyObject = self.dataList.objectAtIndex(indexPath.row);
cell?.populateCellWithData(obj, indexPath: indexPath)
cell?.destinationLabel.userInteractionEnabled = true
let destRecognizer : UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "DestLabelTapped:")
destRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
destRecognizer.delegate = self
cell?.destinationLabel.addGestureRecognizer(destRecognizer)
}
and in DestLabelTapped you can peform your functionlity
Another way
Just set two Tableview and scroll them side by side and one table is selectable and another is not. (don't do this)
In my understanding the tricks with buttons and other UIElements that are covering the content are not the right way to solve the target. As you will need extra manipulations with them in Storyboard, if you will need to make dynamically content, if you will work with constraints and many more situations where you will need to control your content and + the artificial cover. There are few things to do:
Set UITableView selection to No Selection
Put the second part that you want to be active in UIView. This UIView will be the content container.
Add UITapGestureRecognizer to UIView
UITapGestureRecognizer * tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(selectCellAction:)];
Add IBAction where you could do all you need.
- (IBAction)selectCellAction:(id)sender
{
// do what you need
}
And thats all.
You may simply do change the image view width constraints to 0. Where you want to action is performed. As for example:
1) If you use a button that cover the image.
2) If you take a navigation bar then you there take a button and perform the action.
hope this will help.

Detect provenance cell of an UIGestureRecognizer in a TableView

I've a dynamic TableView, in every cell there's a MKMapView. I need that, when user tap the map (exclusively the map), app displays a new controller with expanded map.
I started placing an UITapGestureRecognizer on the map but I discovered that, from iOS 9 it doesn't works, so I followed this https://stackoverflow.com/a/35377200/2085352 and it works fine; trouble is that I can't find a way to detect from which cell does UITapGestureRecognizer come from.
I tried assigning a tag to every UITapGestureRecognizer but seems not possible, so what can I do?
If you are using the solution you liked to, you can determine the cell from the UITapGestureRecognizer passed into the function in step 4:
func imgFaild_Click(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
let location = sender.locationInView(self.tableView)
let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForRowAtPoint(location)
//do something with the indexPath
}

Need to disable particular button in swipe cell?

I am using https://github.com/CEWendel/SWTableViewCell library to my project.
Certain situation I need to disable the particular button action of swipe cell.
I cannot find any property in their class file. If anyone crossed this, give me answer.
Here I have attaced my swipe options image:
For ex
: I want to disable the share button action.
Let's assume your share button is in the leftButtonsArray. In the method:
- (void)swipeableTableViewCell:(SWTableViewCell *)cell scrollingToState:(SWCellState)state
{
//case:left buttons opened
UIButton *shareButton = leftButtonsArray[theIndexOfTheShareButton];
shareButton.enabled = NO;
}
#karthikeyan You can hide the button for a particular row in tableview by the following code:
- (void)updateRightUtilityButtons:(NSArray *)rightUtilityButtons WithButtonWidth:(CGFloat) width {
_rightUtilityButtons = rightUtilityButtons;
[self.rightUtilityButtonsView updateUtilityButtons:rightUtilityButtons WithButtonWidth:width];
[self.rightUtilityButtonsView layoutIfNeeded];
[self layoutIfNeeded];
}
Add/update this methods to SWTableViewCell.m class, where rightUtilityButtons is an array of buttons you need to display for the particular row.
In case if you want to disable just user interaction you can achieve while adding button into array, just disable user interaction for that button by shareButton.userInteration = NO and then add to array and then pass the array to the method defined above. By this you can be sure that button is disabled.
But please provide the sample code that you have worked so that can update your code directly.
In case if you still didn't get revert back I'll give you the working code directly here.

how to create tabs that expands when selected in iOS

I want to create a tableView or tabs that expands when user selects them. This is very commonly used in webpages using jquery.
you can check http://jqueryui.com/accordion/ It does exactly what i want to do in my ipad app. with horizontal tabs too http://jqueryui.com/tabs/
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this in my iPad app ? Or any pointers would be appreciated.
TIA
Sam
1.Use UITableView for first type of tab.
a) Use Header and Cell View in your desired format.
b) Hide and unhide cell view with some animation.
2.Use UISegementedControl for second type of tab.
a) Use function addTarget :
[self.mySegmentedControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segmentChanged) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
b) Implement segmentChanged :
- (void) segmentChanged:(UISegmentedControl *)paramSender{
//check if its the same control that triggered the change event
if ([paramSender isEqual:self.mySegmentedControl]){
//get index position for the selected control
NSInteger selectedIndex = [paramSender selectedSegmentIndex];
if (selectedIndex == 1 ) { // do required } and so on....
}
}
The best possible way is using the headerview to show the Master row and the tableview cells for showing the Details row.Write a touch event for the headerview and set it with the showing and hiding the cells ,with neat row animation.You need to keep the status of the opened and closed state of cell with an array of bools repesenting the no of masterview.

disable touch interaction in UITableView

I have a UITableView that draws a subView when the user touches a cell.
The problem is that the subView drawing is animated and if the user is fast enough they can tap a cell multiple times which I want to disable during the animation and afterwards.
I've tried using this:
- (void) tableView: (UITableView*) tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath*) indexPath {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginIgnoringInteractionEvents];
and also a bool variable:
if (isAnimating == NO) {
but neither seem to work. In each case rapid touches screws up everything.
Any help would be great thanks!
Try this...
After clicking on cell set
tableView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
I know this is an old question however it lacked the swift version so,
in Swift 3 it is:
tableView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false;
and to turn it back on is:
tableView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true;
Just thought this might help someone if they were looking for the answer in swift 3 as I was, and ends up here.
