Disclosure indicator to specific cell in static TableView in Swift

Question

I created a static TableView and I would like to add or remove a disclosure indicator depending if we are consulting our own account or a guest account.

This is what I would like :

let index = IndexPath(row: 4, section: 0)

let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: index)
if currentUser {
   cell.accessoryType = .none
   //cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}

I tried to put it in the viewDidLoad function but it didn't work. I tried cellForRowAt indexPath also and same result.

How could I do that?

and is there an else? that just removes the accessory ... where do you set it? — Daij-Djan, Jul 07 '17 at 08:47
If the cells are static use `IBOutlet`s to access the cells directly. — vadian, Jul 07 '17 at 09:09

Just check if you want to show disclosure indicator in cellForRowAt indexPath method.

if (wantsToShow){ // Your condition goes here
   cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.DisclosureIndicator
}
else{
   cell.accessoryType = .none
}

That's it.

Your are working with static cells so cellForRow will not get called. Instead, simply drag connect your cell and set it up, like this

Please use below code in cellForRowTableView code

It will work for you

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{ 
    if currentUser {
     // Own Account
       cell.accessoryType = .none
       //cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
    }else{
     //Guest Account
     cell.accessoryType =.checkmark
    }
}

To add accessory on a specific static cell, I used tableView, cellForRowAt but i couldn't access a reference to UITableViewCell.

Then i found super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)

So here is my code: Assuming you know the specific indexpath you want:

    var indexPathSort = IndexPath(item: 0, section: 0)
    var indexPathPrice = IndexPath(item: 0, section: 1)


override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
            let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)
            if indexPath == indexPathSort || indexPath == indexPathPrice {

                cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
            }
            return cell
        }
