iOS/Swift programmatic equivalent of Android TableLayout/TableRow

I am working on an iOS version of an Android application I wrote and I am having trouble figuring out the best way to display tabular data. Android has TableLayout and TableRow, making the task fairly simple.

The extra caveat is that however I create the data table, it needs to be created programmatically as there is an indeterminate # of tables to be displayed and each table has an indeterminate # of rows (all the information is pulled from a web service).

Also, if it helps, the app's orientation is portrait-only.

Here is an (ugly) example of how a table might look.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Solution

  • Create a custom tableView Cell that has five labels.

    class dynamicCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet var col1 : UILabel
    @IBOutlet var col2 : UILabel
    @IBOutlet var col3 : UILabel
    @IBOutlet var col4 : UILabel
    @IBOutlet var col5 : UILabel

    init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String) {
        super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
    }

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
    }
}

    Don't forget to link the outlets to the storyboard too.
