UITableViewCell的两个标签

Question

I am trying to get a date value to display below the name value on the table view but I keep getting error messages. "Cannot assign the value of type 'Date' to type string?"

  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = UITableViewCell()

    let ots = OTSs[indexPath.row]

    cell.textLabel?.text = ots.branch!
    cell.textLabel?.text = ots.enterDate!



    return cell
}

Answer 1

You've got several issues.

"Cannot assign the value of type 'Date' to type string?"

That is the first. Exactly what the error says. cell.textLabel?.text expects a String object and you are giving it a Date object. You need to convert the Date to a String , which can be done with the DateFormatter class .

The second issue you have, is if you want two text labels, what you are doing is setting the text twice for the SAME label.

Instead of:

cell.textLabel?.text = ots.branch! cell.textLabel?.text = ots.enterDate!

you would need to set two different labels, either using a custom cell or one of the ones Apple has preconfigured to have a 2nd UILabel (I believe they call the second label cell.detailTextLabel or something along those lines).
