SWIFT: 2 custom cell in tableview. What's wrong?

Question

I want to put 2 custom cell in TableView, but I have a small problem with it. I tried to find answer in Google and StackOverflow, but answers can't help me.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    if indexPath.row == 0{
        var cell: CustomCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("FistCustomTableViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as CustomCell
        //set cell2
    }
    if indexPath.row >= 1{
        var cell: CustomCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomTableViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as CustomCell
        let cons = aArray[indexPath.row - 1]
        // set cell2 
    }
    return cell // (!) Use of unresolved identifier "cell"
}

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "2 custom cell"? What do you want to accomplish? — ryanyuyu, Feb 18 '15 at 16:07
I mean that I want to have two different type of custom cell in tableview — Maxim Globak, Feb 18 '15 at 16:11
@Maxim Globak Please specify what do you want in each cell to get more information, and please show your **CustomCell** class — Victor Sigler, Feb 18 '15 at 16:17
If you want two different types of custom cells, why are you dequeueing the same class, CustomCell, both times? — rdelmar, Feb 18 '15 at 16:38

You need to draw the cell declaration outside:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

  var cell: CustomCell!
  if indexPath.row == 0{
    cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("FistCustomTableViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as CustomCell
    //set cell2
  }
  if indexPath.row >= 1{
    cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomTableViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as CustomCell
    let cons = aArray[indexPath.row - 1]
    // set cell2 
  }
  return cell
}

Individually, everything works, the cell is described in the right class, but when I tried to connect all, I have failed. – Maxim Globak Feb 18 '15 at 16:40
It's out of scope when you declare it inside the `if` statements – qwerty_so Feb 18 '15 at 16:42
In this case: where "return cell" // (!) variable "Cell" used before being initialized – Maxim Globak Feb 18 '15 at 16:48
Bloody Swift. Just give it an init like `var cell = CustomCell()` or use an optional. See my added "!" – qwerty_so Feb 18 '15 at 16:50
@ThomasKilian I have a similar requirement in my project, need to display 2 different cells in a table. I am trying to show them by defining 2 prototypes in a table. but it is not working. This is the link that I have followed: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30774671/uitableview-with-more-than-one-custom-cells-with-swift – Dee Sep 15 '16 at 16:03
@ThomasKilian could you please guide me – Dee Sep 15 '16 at 16:03
@ThomasKilian I have posted a query. Here is the link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39515763/how-to-show-2-customized-cells-in-the-uitableview – Dee Sep 15 '16 at 16:11
@Dee The whole process is quite complex and I needed a couple of YT tutorials first. Finally I reduced the TableViewPlayground example from Apple to the minimum I needed. Once I grasped that I started creating a simple sandbox on my own to play around. – qwerty_so Sep 15 '16 at 18:36

You have to declare the cell out of the if statement.
