TableViewCell.detail_text_label
-
I want to use the
detail_text_label
on aTableViewCell
but the documentation says that it's only accessible in non-default styles of theTableViewCell
class, so my question is: How do I change the style of the cell?
-
I'm sorry that this isn't documented properly. When you initialize a
TableViewCell
, you can pass the style as a string, e.g.my_cell = ui.TableViewCell('subtitle')
. Valid values for thestyle
parameter are'default'
(same as when you leave out the parameter),'subtitle'
,'value1'
and'value2'
(the last two are commonly used for settings).

Thanks for the help! To try this out I made a little test code to show the different types if anyone else wants to use this.
import ui class source (object): def tableview_number_of_rows(self, tv, s): return 4 def tableview_cell_for_row(self, tv, s, r): type = {0:'default', 1:'subtitle', 2:'value1', 3:'value2'}[r] cell = ui.TableViewCell(type) cell.text_label.text = 'Title' try: cell.detail_text_label.text = 'Detail' except AttributeError: pass try: cell.image_view.image = ui.Image.named('ionicons-image-32') except AttributeError: pass return cell view = ui.TableView() view.data_source = source() view.present()
Not very elegant but it helps.

Very nice, thank you.

That's an awesome feature, this needs to be in the documentation! ;)
@Omega0, your test code is quite useful as a quick reference for how the different styles look, thanks for sharing it.

I was wondering the exact same thing as @Omega0 did two years ago. Since the documentation has not yet been updated it's great to have this forum and that it is easy to search.
