How to get textLabel of selected row in swift

Question

So i am trying to get the value of the textLabel of the row I select  I tried printing it  but it didn t work  After some research I found out that this code worked  but only in Objective-C       -  void tableView  UITableView   tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath  NSIndexPath      indexPath               NSLog   did select  and the text is      tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  textLabel text            I could not find any solution for Swift  Printing the indexpath row is possible though  but that is not what I need   so what should I do  or what is the  Swift-version  of this code

If you re in a class inherited from UITableViewController  then this is the swift version   override func tableView tableView  UITableView  didDeselectRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath        let cell   self tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath      NSLog  did select and the text is   cell  textLabel  text        Note that cell is an optional  so it must be unwrapped - and the same for textLabel  If any of the 2 is nil  unlikely to happen  because the method is called with a valid index path   if you want to be sure that a valid value is printed  then you should check that both cell and textLabel are both not nil   override func tableView tableView  UITableView  didDeselectRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath        let cell   self tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath      let text   cell  textLabel  text     if let text   text           NSLog  did select and the text is   text

Maintain an array which stores data in the cellforindexPath method itself  -   arryname objectAtIndex indexPath row     Using same code in the didselectaAtIndexPath method too   Good luck

If you want to print the text of a UITableViewCell according to its matching NSIndexPath  you have to use UITableViewDelegate s tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath  method and get a reference of the selected UITableViewCell with UITableView s cellForRowAtIndexPath  method   For example   import UIKit  class TableViewController  UITableViewController        override func tableView tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int           return 4            override func tableView tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell           let cell   tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier  Cell   forIndexPath  indexPath           switch indexPath row           case 0  cell textLabel  text    Bike          case 1  cell textLabel  text    Car          case 2  cell textLabel  text    Ball          default  cell textLabel  text    Boat                     return cell            override func tableView tableView  UITableView  didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath            let selectedCell   tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath          print selectedCell  textLabel  text             this will print Optional  Bike   if indexPath row    0              However  for many reasons  I would not encourage you to use the previous code  Your UITableViewCell should only be responsible for displaying some content given by a model  In most cases  what you want is to print the content of your model  could be an Array of String  according to a NSIndexPath  By doing things like this  you will separate each element s responsibilities   Thereby  this is what I would recommend   import UIKit  class TableViewController  UITableViewController        let toysArray     Bike    Car    Ball    Boat        override func tableView tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int           return toysArray count            override func tableView tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell           let cell   tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier  Cell   forIndexPath  indexPath          cell textLabel  text   toysArray indexPath row          return cell            override func tableView tableView  UITableView  didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath            let toy   toysArray indexPath row          print toy             this will print  Bike  if indexPath row    0            As you can see  with this code  you don t have to deal with optionals and don t even need to get a reference of the matching UITableViewCell inside tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath  in order to print the desired text
