Override init in subclassed UITableViewCell

Question

I want to ovrride init(frame: CGRect) in a subclassed UITableViewCell.

override init(frame: CGRect) {
   super.init(frame: CGRect)
}

But this throws an error: Initializer does not ovrride a designated initializer from its super class, I did something wrong?

Answer 1

For an UITableViewCell, you should be overriding this one:

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

See documentation.

If you would like to be able to vary cells' frame, you should look into delegate methods like:

• tableView(_:heightForRowAtIndexPath:) for row height
• tableView(_:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:) for row indent

See documentation for UITableViewDelegate.
