add image to uitableview cell

Question

I have a tableview, how can I add image to the left of this cells?

Answer 1

All good answers from others. Here are two ways you can solve this:

1. Directly from the code where you will have to programmatically control the dimensions of the imageview

   override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
       let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "xyz", for: indexPath)
       ...
       cell.imageView!.image = UIImage(named: "xyz") // if retrieving the image from the assets folder 
       return cell
   }
   

2. From the story board, where you can use the attribute inspector & size inspector in the utility pane to adjust positioning, add constraints and specify dimensions

   • In the storyboard, add an imageView object in to the cell's content view with your desired dimensions and add a tag to the view(imageView) in the attribute inspector. Then do the following in your viewController

     override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
         let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "xyz", for: indexPath)
         ...
         let pictureView = cell.viewWithTag(119) as! UIImageView //let's assume the tag is set to 119
         pictureView.image = UIImage(named: "xyz") // if retrieving the image from the assets folder 
         return cell
     }
