Infinite scrolling through tableView hosted inside UIViewController in Swift
I am very new to Swift and over the last few days I have been trying to figure out how I can implement infinite scrolling in a tableView that fits inside a ViewController. All examples I found are based on TableViewController, but my TableView is inside ViewController.
Actually I am using MMDrawerLayout library to get left and right sliding menu, so you need to use ViewController. Please, one of us will point me in the right direction. Any projects with code or examples would be much appreciated.
Thank.

First of all, drag the table into your viewController in the storyBoard, then create an Outlet for your table view like this:
@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
And add your tableArray:
var items: [String] = ["We", "Heart", "Swift"]
After that, add UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate
to the class declaration and look like this:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
//Your code
}
After that compatible dataSource and remove yourself in your method viewDidLoad
and add the line to it:
self.tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
After that, your method will be:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self
self.tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
}
After that add the required method UITableViewDataSource
as shown below:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.items.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell:UITableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell") as! UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel?.text = self.items[indexPath.row]
return cell
}

To add an infinity indicator view at the bottom UITableView
, then follow these steps.
Step 1 . Add the following method to your current class.
func infinityScrollView() {
var bounds = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds
var width = bounds.size.width
var height = bounds.size.height
var footerView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, width, 44))
footerView.backgroundColor=UIColor.greenColor()
var actInd: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView()
actInd.center = CGPointMake(width/2 , 22)
actInd.color = UIColor.redColor()
footerView.addSubview(actInd)
YOUR_TABLEVIEW_OBJECT.tableFooterView = footerView;
}
Step 2 . The above method is called from viewDidLoad
.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.infinityScrollView()
}
Hope it helps you.
