How can I loop through UITableView's cells?
If you only want to iterate through the visible cells, then use
NSArray *cells = [tableView visibleCells];
If you want all cells of the table view, then use this:
NSMutableArray *cells = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSInteger j = 0; j < [tableView numberOfSections]; ++j)
{
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:j]; ++i)
{
[cells addObject:[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i inSection:j]]];
}
}
Now you can iterate through all cells:
(CustomTableViewCell is a class, which contains the property textField of the type UITextField)
for (CustomTableViewCell *cell in cells)
{
UITextField *textField = [cell textField];
NSLog(@"%@"; [textField text]);
}
Here is a nice swift implementation that works for me.
func animateCells() {
for cell in tableView.visibleCells() as! [UITableViewCell] {
//do someting with the cell here.
}
}
Accepted answer in swift for people who do not know ObjC (like me).
for section in 0 ..< sectionCount {
let rowCount = tableView.numberOfRowsInSection(section)
var list = [TableViewCell]()
for row in 0 ..< rowCount {
let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath(forRow: row, inSection: section)) as! YourCell
list.append(cell)
}
}
for xcode 9 use this - (similar to @2ank3th but the code is changed for swift 4):
let totalSection = tableView.numberOfSections
for section in 0..<totalSection
{
print("section \(section)")
let totalRows = tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: section)
for row in 0..<totalRows
{
print("row \(row)")
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: IndexPath(row: row, section: section))
if let label = cell?.viewWithTag(2) as? UILabel
{
label.text = "Section = \(section), Row = \(row)"
}
}
}
