Getting text from array to UITableViewCell

Question

I am new at Swift coding and i need help.

I am having a big problem getting text from a UITableViewCell to another viewcontroller.

I have created an array but it dont seem to copy into the UITableViewCell?

this is my code

import UIKit

var container = likedViewController()

class likedViewController: UIInputViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, icebreakerData { func textChoice(string: String?) { }

var likedList: [String] = ["Hello there"]

@IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView!


    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
            return likedList.count
    }



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

        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)

        cell.textLabel!.text = likedList[indexPath.row]
        return cell

    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

        let row = indexPath.row
        self.textDocumentProxy.insertText(likedList[row])

    }


//-----------------

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
             heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
     // Make the first row larger to accommodate a custom cell.
        return 80
     }



@IBAction func ad(_ sender: Any) {
    container = likedViewController()
    container.likedList.append("I am another one")
        print("I am working")
}


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
        tableView.dataSource = self
        tableView.delegate = self
    }
func hey (){
    let selectionVC = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "KeyboardViewController") as? KeyboardViewController
    selectionVC?.iceBreakerDataDelegate = self
}

}

Answer 1

In your func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) , you can then create the new VC and push it to your UINavigationController.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

    let row = indexPath.row
    self.textDocumentProxy.insertText(likedList[row])

    // if this is your destination VC
    let selectionVC = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "KeyboardViewController") as? KeyboardViewController

    // hand over the data
    selectionVC?.iceBreakerDataDelegate = self
    navigationController?.pushViewController(selectionVC, animated: true)

    }

In case you are not using a NavigationController , you can simply present viewcontroller. self.present(selectionVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
