Create a tableView inside UIView Swift

Question

Hi :) I'm having a tableView and I want to have a tableView inside my UITableViewCell, now I was thinking to create a custom tableView inside UIView class and then present it inside the UITableViewCell using UIView, I'm wondering is it possible or I'm approaching the problem wrong :)

Here's a picture of what I would like to achieve: Link

Although you CAN add a UITableView to any UIView, that means also to a UITableViewCell, what you are trying to achieve looks like a UITableView with UITableView.Style.insetGrouped.

This new style for table views is available at iOS13.

Just initialize your table view with this style, e.g.:

let tableView = UITableView(frame: .zero, style: .insetGrouped)

You can see the documentation here: (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitableview/style/insetgrouped)

In this thread, there is the screenshot of this UITableView.Style:

TableView with inset grouped style: Have rounded corners even with hidden cells

@Iaka Oh I see, well the problem is my app only works for users with iOS 10 and above :\

Okay I found out I can do it like : let tableView = UITableViewController(style: .grouped) the thing is, is that possible to do a uitableviewcontroller inside UIView?

You can add a UITableView (not a UITableViewController) to a UIView.

However, I think you should be able to subclass UITableView and modify its appearance to be similar to .insetGrouped instead of adding a UITableView to a UIView.

well i added a tableView inside. a UIView, the thing is I can't use .insetGrouped due to the fact that is only for iOS13+ and the app got users for iOS10+ lol but thanks for the help I solved it :)

You can achieve that kind of look by using inset grouped style on UITableView and by adding sections to UITableView
