检查UITableView中是否显示特定的UITableViewCell

Question

I have a UITableView and some UITableViewCells which i have created manually via the Interface Builder . I've assigned each cell an outlet , and im connecting them to the UITableView in the CellForRowAtIndexPath method. In this method, I use the switch(case) method to make specific cells appear in the UITableView , depends on the case.

Now, I want to find a specific cell and check if he is exists within the UITableView . I use the method: UITableView.visibleCells to get an array of the cells in the table view. My question is - how can i check if a specific cells exists in the array? can I use the outlet that i've assigned to it somehow? - (The best solution),OR, can I use an identifier and how?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Note that you can as well use indexPathsForVisibleRows this way:

    NSUInteger index = [_people indexOfObject:person];
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:index inSection:0];
    if ([self.tableView.indexPathsForVisibleRows containsObject:indexPath]) {
      [self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] 
                            withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
    }

If you have the indexPath (and don't need the actual Cell) it might be cheaper .

PS: _people is the NSArray used as my backend in this case.

Answer 2

if ([tableView.visibleCells containsObject:myCell])
{
    // Do your thing
}

This assumes that you have a separate instance variable containing the cell you are interested in, I think you do from the question but it isn't clear.

Answer 3

You can use the UITableView method:

[tableView indexPathForCell:aCell];

If the cell doesn't exist in the tableView it will return nil. Otherwise you will get the cell's NSIndexPath.

Answer 4

You can do this in Swift 3 to check if the UITableViewCell is visible:

let indexPathToVerify = IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0)
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPathToVerify)

if tableView.visibleCells.contains(cell) {
    // the cell is visible
}

Answer 5

从iOS 7开始， indexPathForVisibleRows将包含半透明导航栏下的行，因此您现在需要执行以下操作：

[self.tableView indexPathsForRowsInRect:self.tableView.safeAreaLayoutGuide.layoutFrame]
