Asks the data source for a cell to insert in a particular location of the table view.
Required.
SDKs
- iOS 2.0+
- tvOS 9.0+
Framework
- UIKit
Declaration
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
Parameters
tableView A table-view object requesting the cell.
indexPath An index path locating a row in
table.View
Return Value
An object inheriting from UITable that the table view can use for the specified row. An assertion is raised if you return nil.
Discussion
The returned UITable object is frequently one that the application reuses for performance reasons. You should fetch a previously created cell object that is marked for reuse by sending a dequeue message to table. Various attributes of a table cell are set automatically based on whether the cell is a separator and on information the data source provides, such as for accessory views and editing controls.
