Note: As you mentioned you just started programming in Swift. I created a tableView programmatically. Copy and paste below code into your viewController and run the project…
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
private let myArray: NSArray = ["First","Second","Third"]
private var myTableView: UITableView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let barHeight: CGFloat = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height
let displayWidth: CGFloat = self.view.frame.width
let displayHeight: CGFloat = self.view.frame.height
myTableView = UITableView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: barHeight, width: displayWidth, height: displayHeight - barHeight))
myTableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "MyCell")
myTableView.dataSource = self
myTableView.delegate = self
self.view.addSubview(myTableView)
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
print("Num: \(indexPath.row)")
print("Value: \(myArray[indexPath.row])")
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return myArray.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MyCell", for: indexPath as IndexPath)
cell.textLabel!.text = "\(myArray[indexPath.row])"
return cell
}
}
Output:
