UITableView example for Swift

Question

I ve been working with Swift and iOS for a number of months now  I am familiar with many of the ways things are done but I m not good enough that I can just write things up without looking  I ve appreciated Stack Overflow in the past for providing quick answers to get me back on track with topics I ve gotten rusty on  for example  AsyncTask Android example    iOS s UITableView is in this category for me  I ve done them a few times  but I forget what the details are  I couldn t find another question on StackOverflow that just asks for a basic example and I m looking for something shorter than many of the tutorials that are online  although this one is very good    I am providing an answer below for my future reference and yours

In Swift 4 1 and Xcode 9 4 1   Add UITableViewDataSource  UITableViewDelegate delegated to your class  Create table view variable and array  In viewDidLoad create table view  Call table view delegates Call table view delegate functions based on your requirement    import UIKit    1 class yourViewController  UIViewController   UITableViewDataSource  UITableViewDelegate        2 var yourTableView UITableView   UITableView   let myArray     row 1    row 2    row 3    row 4    override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad           3     yourTableView frame   CGRect x  10  y  10  width  view frame width-20  height  view frame height-200      self view addSubview yourTableView          4     yourTableView dataSource   self     yourTableView delegate   self        5    MARK - UITableView Delegates func tableView   tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int        return myArray count    func tableView   tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAt indexPath  IndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell    var cell   UITableViewCell    tableView dequeueReusableCell withIdentifier   cell       if cell    nil           cell   UITableViewCell style  UITableViewCellStyle default  reuseIdentifier   cell             if self  myArray count  gt  0           cell  textLabel  text   self  myArray indexPath row            cell  textLabel  numberOfLines   0      return cell     func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForRowAt indexPath  IndexPath  - gt  CGFloat        return 50 0     If you are using storyboard  no need for Step 3    But you need to create IBOutlet for your table view before Step 4

Here is the Swift 4 version   import Foundation import UIKit  class ViewController  UIViewController  UITableViewDelegate  UITableViewDataSource        var tableView  UITableView   UITableView       let animals     Horse    Cow    Camel    Sheep    Goat       let cellReuseIdentifier    cell       override func viewDidLoad                 super viewDidLoad            tableView frame   CGRect x  0  y  50  width  UIScreen main bounds size width  height  UIScreen main bounds size height          tableView delegate   self         tableView dataSource   self         tableView register UITableViewCell self  forCellReuseIdentifier  cellReuseIdentifier           self view addSubview tableView             func tableView   tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int               return animals count            internal func tableView   tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAt indexPath  IndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell               let cell UITableViewCell   tableView dequeueReusableCell withIdentifier  cellReuseIdentifier  as UITableViewCell           cell textLabel  text   animals indexPath row           return cell            private func tableView tableView  UITableView  didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath  IndexPath                print  You tapped cell number   indexPath row

The example below is an adaptation and simplification of a longer post from We   Swift  This is what it will look like   Create a New Project It can be just the usual Single View Application  Add the Code Replace the ViewController swift code with the following  import UIKit class ViewController  UIViewController  UITableViewDelegate  UITableViewDataSource               Data model  These strings will be the data for the table view cells     let animals   String      quot Horse quot    quot Cow quot    quot Camel quot    quot Sheep quot    quot Goat quot               cell reuse id  cells that scroll out of view can be reused      let cellReuseIdentifier    quot cell quot              don t forget to hook this up from the storyboard      IBOutlet var tableView  UITableView           override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad                       Register the table view cell class and its reuse id         self tableView register UITableViewCell self  forCellReuseIdentifier  cellReuseIdentifier                       optional  include this line if you want to remove the extra empty cell divider lines            self tableView tableFooterView   UIView               This view controller itself will provide the delegate methods and row data for the table view          tableView delegate   self         tableView dataSource   self                   number of rows in table view     func tableView   tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int           return self animals count                   create a cell for each table view row     func tableView   tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAt indexPath  IndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell                       create a new cell if needed or reuse an old one         let cell UITableViewCell   self tableView dequeueReusableCell withIdentifier  cellReuseIdentifier  as UITableViewCell                      set the text from the data model         cell textLabel  text   self animals indexPath row                   return cell                   method to run when table view cell is tapped     func tableView   tableView  UITableView  didSelectRowAt indexPath  IndexPath            print  quot You tapped cell number   indexPath row   quot            Read the in-code comments to see what is happening  The highlights are  The view controller adopts the UITableViewDelegate and  UITableViewDataSource protocols  The numberOfRowsInSection method determines how many rows there will be in the table view  The cellForRowAtIndexPath method sets up each row  The didSelectRowAtIndexPath method is called every time a row is tapped   Add a Table View to the Storyboard Drag a UITableView onto your View Controller  Use auto layout to pin the four sides   Hook up the Outlets Control drag from the Table View in IB to the tableView outlet in the code  Finished That s all  You should be able run your app now  This answer was tested with Xcode 9 and Swift 4  Variations Row Deletion You only have to add a single method to the basic project above if you want to enable users to delete rows  See this basic example to learn how   Row Spacing If you would like to have spacing between your rows  see this supplemental example   Custom cells The default layout for the table view cells may not be what you need  Check out this example to help get you started making your own custom cells   Dynamic Cell Height Sometimes you don t want every cell to be the same height  Starting with iOS 8 it is easy to automatically set the height depending on the cell content  See this example for everything you need to get you started   Further Reading  iOS  amp  Swift Tutorial  UITableViewController iOS Table View Tutorial Using Swift

For completeness sake  and for those that do not wish to use the Interface Builder  here s a way of creating the same table as in Suragch s answer entirely programatically - albeit with a different size and position   class ViewController  UIViewController  UITableViewDelegate  UITableViewDataSource         var tableView  UITableView   UITableView       let animals     Horse    Cow    Camel    Sheep    Goat       let cellReuseIdentifier    cell       override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad            tableView frame   CGRectMake 0  50  320  200          tableView delegate   self         tableView dataSource   self         tableView registerClass UITableViewCell self  forCellReuseIdentifier  cellReuseIdentifier           self view addSubview tableView             func tableView tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int           return animals count            func tableView tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell           let cell UITableViewCell   tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier cellReuseIdentifier  as UITableViewCell           cell textLabel  text   animals indexPath row           return cell            func tableView tableView  UITableView  didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath            print  You tapped cell number   indexPath row                Make sure you have remembered to import UIKit
