Lesson 11 - iOS ToDo app in Swift - Custom TableViewCell
In the previous lesson, iOS ToDo app in Swift - Working with the database, we talked about working with the Realm database in iOS.
To learn how to sort data, we're going to sort tasks by their priority. We'll
use custom TableViewCell
which is useful in many cases since the
basic cells often aren't enough. We'll indicate the task priority by color.
Let's drop a regular View
component on our
PrototypeCell
and using constraints, align it 0
from
the left, top, and bottom edge. We'll finish the constraints by setting just the
Width
to e.g. 15
.
Next to this View
, we'll also drop a Label
to
display the task text. We'll align the Label
e.g. 10
from the left edge (i.e. from the priority View
), vertically. Now
the constraints are finished.
The main View Controller should look like this now:
Because we're creating a custom TableViewCell
, we'll need a
custom class for it as well. Let's add a new file to the project and don't
forget to choose Cocoa Touch Class, so that we can make the class a
UITableViewCell
subclass. We'll name it
ToDoTableViewCell
. The generated code looks like this:
