Add UISwitch to subtitle style of tableviewCell

Question

I want to use subtitle style of table view cell (not the custom one), and also I need to have an UISwitch in the right side of the cell. if the name of the cell is TitleCell I know I can add a UISwitch programmatically to it by using this line of code:

TitleCell.accessoryView = UISwitch()

But can I have access to this UISwitch and using it as an outlet and giving it an action?

Thanks for your help in advance

You can give an action to the switch programmatically by calling addTarget (see UISwitch: Swift 3: Programmatically ).

Also consider moving to a custom cell xib/class. It is not hard to set up, but then you have full control over what is there and how it is laid out.

thanks for your help. I usually use custom style, but as Im working on the setting page and all cells must have icon, subtitle style with an image is quite prefect for my work and I don't need worry about the size of the image and constraints. I looked at the website that you post it, but they use normal add to subview, but the adding with method that I use, doesn't give me any thing to access to the UIswitch inside it, at least I don't know how – JOnney Mar 31 '19 at 18:38
Are you saying that it doesn't work if you addTarget when you have an accessoryView ? – battlmonstr Mar 31 '19 at 18:45
Also note that if you do addTarget , you get your UISwitch as the "sender" parameter to your selector. You can assign a tag inside UISwitch (`mySwitch.tag = rowIndex`), and be able to find the cell by index with that from the action callback. – battlmonstr Mar 31 '19 at 18:47

After assigning the switch to the accessory view you can access it with

if let mySwitch = TitleCell.accessoryView as? UISwitch {
   // it's the switch, you can use it.
}

However you are encouraged to design a custom cell with an outlet by subclassing UITableViewCell

And please conform to the naming convention that variable names start with a lowercase letter.
