To do this add a new file to your project: Before we do that we need to create the new cell. Now that we have the basic setup done we can start working on getting the cells to show up. Step 5: Add a new file for the custom cell Now you need to set the content type of the table view to Static Cells.Īfter setting it to static, you can increment the number of rows by clicking on Table View Section in the view hierarchy on the left(highlighted in blue) and then on the right you will see the option to increment the number of rows that the table view has. To do this go to Interface builder and click on the Table View. We also need to change the class in Interface builder for the table view controller to be of type ViewController. Change to be a subclass of UITableViewControllerĬlass ViewController: UITableViewController Step 3: Update ViewController.swiftīecause we have removed the default view controller and we are now using the table view controller, we need update our ViewController.swift file to subclass UITableViewController instead of UIViewController. What we need to do now is update the Is initial view controller property for the new table view controller. We removed the original view controller and added the new table view controller. It should look like the below: Step 2: Set initial view controller Drag the table view controller into interface builder. Next you will want to press cmd + shift + l and then type tableviewcontroller. This will allow us to set the table view to be static and then we add or remove cells as we need.Īfter you have selected the viewController as shown in the image above, delete the view controller. Step 1: Use a UITableViewControllerįor this tutorial we are going to remove the default UIViewController and replace it with the UITableViewController. Now that we have the basics covered we can start implementing the static table view with custom cells. You cannot add a normal UITableView in a UIViewController. The biggest difference when using a static table view is that you need to do it through Interface builder, and it needs to use a UITableViewController. One needs to register the nib and then use the cellForRowAt method to use the custom cell. Pretty much anything that can be listed that will have fixed values.Ĭustom cells for static table view are done in the exact same way as custom cells for dynamic table views. A static table view can be useful when creating menu’s that do not change or app settings.

Today I will show you how to create custom table view cells and use it in a static table view.
