OVERVIEW

Radio button become one of the choices if the app requires additional informations from the user as it retrieves choice picked by user. It is also one of a way to know the user preference. Isn’t it considered user friendly if the user is able to pick their own choice?

Let’s dive into making a radio button work for the apps.

BUILDING THE UITABLEVIEWCELL

First, create a custom UITableViewCell by New > File > Cocoa Touch Class

Make sure that the subclass is of type UITableViewCell and Also create XIB file is checked.

It should look pretty straight forward with an image and a button on the UITableViewCell.

When all the above is done. It’s time to write a little code that will handle the text and the selection. This is how the code will look like.

import UIKit
class RadioButtonTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
	// 1
	@IBOutlet weak var titleLabel: UILabel!
	@IBOutlet weak var iconImage: UIImageView!
	// 2
	private let checked = UIImage(named: "checked-radio")
	private let unchecked = UIImage(named: "unchecked-radio")
	// 3
	override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
    }
