Set own cell accessory type - uitableview

Question

I'd like to set my own cellAccessoryType (an image) in an UITableViewCell. Do you know how I can do this? I'm using Swift, Xcode 6.2 and iOS 8.2. Thank you for you help!

Answer 1

Try this:
// first create UIImageView
var imageView : UIImageView
imageView = UIImageView(frame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 100, 320))
imageView.image = UIImage(named:"image.jpg")
// then set it as cellAccessoryType
cell.accessoryView = imageView
PS: I strongly advise you to upgrade to XCode 6.3.2 and using iOS 8.3 SDK

Answer 2

I assume you would like to get tap on accessory view, so I provide this answer with button.
If not, use shargath's answer with imageView.
var saveButton = UIButton.buttonWithType(.Custom) as UIButton
saveButton.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30)
saveButton.addTarget(self, action: "accessoryButtonTapped:", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
saveButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "check-circle"), forState: .Normal)
cell.accessoryView = saveButton as UIView
func accessoryButtonTapped(sender:UIButton) {
}

Swift 5 version of Shmidt's answer, plus using sender.tag to keep track of which row the button was clicked on:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MyCell",
for: indexPath)
let checkButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 40, height: 40))
checkButton.addTarget(self, action:#selector(YOUR_CLASS_NAME.checkTapped(_:)),
for: .touchUpInside)
checkButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "check"), for: .normal)
checkButton.tag = indexPath.row
cell.accessoryView = checkButton
return cell
}
#objc func checkTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
print(sender.tag)
}

Answer 4

Swift 5 version, adding contentMode:
let imageView: UIImageView = UIImageView(frame:CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 20, height: 20))
imageView.image = UIImage(named:Imge.Card.Link.download)
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
cell.accessoryView = imageView

Answer 5

Xamarin.iOS version of Shmidt's answer
// Create the accessory
var accessory = new UIButton(UIButtonType.Custom);
accessory.Frame = new CGRect(0f, 0f, 24f, 24f);
accessory.AddTarget(accessoryButtonTapped, UIControlEvent.TouchUpInside);
accessory.SetImage(UIImage.FromBundle("check-circle"), UIControlState.Normal);
// Set the accessory to the cell
cell.AccessoryView = accessory as UIView;
void accessoryButtonTapped(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
}

Answer 6

SWIFT 5 solution
This example presents how to add simple button with SF Symbols to your accessory view.
inside cellForRowAt:
let plusButton = UIButton(type: .system)
plusButton.setImage(UIImage(systemName: "plus"), for: .normal)
plusButton.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
plusButton.sizeToFit()
cell.accessoryView = plusButton
and instead of adding target to the button we can use delegate method from UITableViewDelegate
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith indexPath: IndexPath) {
//handle logic here
}
