When I swipe a UITableViewCell, the header view moves as well - ios

Question

So, I have a few Swipe actions like delete, block, etc in my UITableView. I wanted to add headers to separate my two sections. So, I added a prototype cell, named it HeaderCell and then went to the view. I added one label, named headerLabe. My problem is that when I swipe for the actions, the header cells were moving as well, which looked bad. I researched, and found a solution to just return the contentView of the cell. However, when I do this, the label has not shown up. I have tried a dozen different solutions, and nothing has worked, so I have turned to SO. Can anyone help me?
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let headerCell : CustomHeaderTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("HeaderCell") as! CustomHeaderTableViewCell
if section == 0 {
headerCell.headerLabel.text = "Thank You's"
} else if section == 1 {
headerCell.headerLabel.text = "Conversations"
}
return headerCell.contentView
}
Thanks so much.

Answer 1

You can use a section Header as #ozgur suggest.If you still want to use a cell.
Refer to this datasource method
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
if indexPath = YourHeaderCellIndexPath{
return false
}
return true
}

check the following methods
In your UIViewController use the following
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 60
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let headerCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("HeaderCell") as! WishListHeaderCell
headerCell.lblTitle.text = cartsData.stores_Brand_Name
let imgVw = UIImageView()
imgVw.frame = CGRectMake(8, 18, 25, 25)
imgVw.image = UIImage(named: "location.png")
let title = UILabel()
title.frame = CGRectMake(41, 10, headerCell.viwContent.frame.width - 49, 41)
title.text = cartsData.stores_Brand_Name
title.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
headerCell.viwContent.addSubview(imgVw)
headerCell.viwContent.addSubview(title)
return headerCell.viwContent
}
In your UITableViewCell use the following
import UIKit
class HeaderCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var viwContent: UIView!
#IBOutlet weak var imgIcn: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var lblTitle: UILabel!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.viwContent.backgroundColor = UIColor.grayColor()
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
//UITableViewCell
let headerCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("headerCell") as! SecJobCCHeaderTableViewCell
// Cell Rect
var cellRect : CGRect = headerCell.frame
cellRect.size.width = screenBounds.width
// Header Footer View
let headerFooterView = UITableViewHeaderFooterView(frame : cellRect)
//Adding Gesture
let swipeGestRight = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(AddSecJobCostCentreViewController.draggedViewRight(_:)))
swipeGestRight.enabled = true
swipeGestRight.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Right
headerFooterView.addGestureRecognizer(swipeGestRight)
// Update Cell Rect
headerCell.frame = cellRect
// Add Cell As Subview
headerCell.tag = 1000
headerFooterView.addSubview(headerCell)
// Return Header Footer View
return headerFooterView
}
func draggedViewRight(sender:UISwipeGestureRecognizer) {
// Swipe Gesture Action
let currentHeaderView = sender.view?.viewWithTag(1000) as! SecJobCCHeaderTableViewCell
}
