How to insert new cell into UITableView in Swift
I'm working on a project where I have two UITableView
s and two UITextField
s, when the user presses the button the data in the first textField
should go into the tableView
and the second go into the second tableView
. My problem is that I don't know how to put data in the tableView
each time the user pushes the button, I know how to insert data with tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:
but that works for one time as far as I know. So what method can I use to update the tableView
each time the user hits the button?
Use beginUpdates
and endUpdates
to insert a new cell when the button clicked.
As @vadian said in comment,
begin/endUpdates
has no effect for a single insert/delete/move operation
First of all, append data in your tableview array
Yourarray.append([labeltext])
Then update your table and insert a new row
// Update Table Data
tblname.beginUpdates()
tblname.insertRowsAtIndexPaths([
NSIndexPath(forRow: Yourarray.count-1, inSection: 0)], withRowAnimation: .Automatic)
tblname.endUpdates()
This inserts cell and doesn't need to reload the whole table but if you get any problem with this, you can also use tableview.reloadData()
Swift 3.0
tableView.beginUpdates()
tableView.insertRows(at: [IndexPath(row: yourArray.count-1, section: 0)], with: .automatic)
tableView.endUpdates()
Objective-C
[self.tblname beginUpdates];
NSArray *arr = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:Yourarray.count-1 inSection:0]];
[self.tblname insertRowsAtIndexPaths:arr withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
[self.tblname endUpdates];
Swift 5.0, 4.0, 3.0 Updated Solution
Insert at Bottom
self.yourArray.append(msg)
self.tblView.beginUpdates()
self.tblView.insertRows(at: [IndexPath.init(row: self.yourArray.count-1, section: 0)], with: .automatic)
self.tblView.endUpdates()
Insert at Top of TableView
self.yourArray.insert(msg, at: 0)
self.tblView.beginUpdates()
self.tblView.insertRows(at: [IndexPath.init(row: 0, section: 0)], with: .automatic)
self.tblView.endUpdates()
Here is your code for add data into both tableView:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
@IBOutlet weak var table1Text: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var table2Text: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var table1: UITableView!
@IBOutlet weak var table2: UITableView!
var table1Data = ["a"]
var table2Data = ["1"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func addData(sender: AnyObject) {
//add your data into tables array from textField
table1Data.append(table1Text.text)
table2Data.append(table2Text.text)
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
//reload your tableView
self.table1.reloadData()
self.table2.reloadData()
})
table1Text.resignFirstResponder()
table2Text.resignFirstResponder()
}
//delegate methods
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if tableView == table1 {
return table1Data.count
}else if tableView == table2 {
return table2Data.count
}
return Int()
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if tableView == table1 {
let cell = table1.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UITableViewCell
let row = indexPath.row
cell.textLabel?.text = table1Data[row]
return cell
}else if tableView == table2 {
let cell = table2.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell1", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UITableViewCell
let row = indexPath.row
cell.textLabel?.text = table2Data[row]
return cell
}
return UITableViewCell()
}
}
And your result will be:
