Add Text Label and Button to dynamic tableview cell programmatically with Swift

Question

I have a dynamic tableview and a prototype cell which displays an array. My questions is how would I add a button which displays different names on each cell to the Left side of the cell and then a label to the right side displaying the array info. Thanks! :D

So imagine this is the cell below:

Left side:Button(array info) <-------------------> Right side:TextLabel(array info)

Solution

You can implement like this

let titleArray = ["a", "b", "c"]

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return 50
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    //return no.of cell do you want
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
    let cellHeight = tableView(self.tableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath: NSIndexPath(forRow: indexPath.row, inSection: indexPath.section))
    var cell = CustomCell(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, cellHeight), title: titleArray[indexPath.row])
    cell.cellLabel.text = //labelText
    cell.cellButton.addTarget(self, action: "buttonPressed:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)

    return cell
}

class CustomCell: UITableViewCell {
    var cellButton: UIButton!
    var cellLabel: UILabel!

    init(frame: CGRect, title: String) {
        super.init(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: "cell")

        cellLabel= UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(self.frame.width - 100, 10, 100.0, 40))
        cellLabel.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        cellLabel.font = //set font here

        cellButton = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(5, 5, 50, 30))
        cellButton.setTitle(title, forState: UIControlState.Normal)

        addSubview(cellLabel)
        addSubview(cellButton)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

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

It says buttonWithType is unavailable, use object construction UIButton(type:)... Any suggestions?

[Don Draper]

So, how do I have the labels and buttons conform to different size screens?

when the user will scroll, it will add the label and the button again and again and again ..

@FaridAlHaddad did you get any solution for this?
