Side Menu looses custom visuals when touched

[Sal]

In my side menu I'm using custom cells for the menu using the cellForItemAtIndexPath delegate method but when a user clicks on one of the cells that isn't interactive (I have two cells that are there purely for informational purposes so I set the selection style to None on both of them) the table view reloads and looses all of the custom styling from the cellForItemAtIndexPath and just shows each item in plain black text. 

 

Here's some code that I have, not sure what you would need so just pasting chunks of it

 

func sideDrawer(sideDrawer: TKSideDrawer!, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> TKSideDrawerTableViewCell! {
        let cell = TKSideDrawerTableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: "cell")
        let section = sideDrawer.sections[indexPath.section] as! TKSideDrawerSection
        let item = section.items[indexPath.item] as! TKSideDrawerItem
        //the first section contains the rep name and location centered in the table
        if indexPath.section == 0 {
            if indexPath.row == 0 {
                let centeredCell = CenterLabelCell()
                centeredCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None
                centeredCell.item = item
                return centeredCell
            }
            else if indexPath.row == 1 {
                let centeredImageAndTextCell = CenterLabelWithImageCell()
                centeredImageAndTextCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None
                centeredImageAndTextCell.item = item
                return centeredImageAndTextCell
            }
        }
        //the second section only needs a special cell if the row is selected
        if indexPath.section == 1 || indexPath.section == 2 {
            //get the currently selected index
            let selectedDict = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey(KeyValues.keySelectedIndex()) as! NSDictionary
            let currentIndex = NSIndexPath().convertDictToIndexPath(selectedDict)
            //set selected index to have tint on both image and text
            if indexPath == currentIndex {
                let selectedCell = SelectedTableCell()
                selectedCell.item = item
                return selectedCell
            }
            else {
                let regularCell = NonSelectedTableCell()
                regularCell.item = item
                return regularCell
            }
        }
        return cell
    }

 

and here's the code from the didSelectItemAtIndexPath method

func sideDrawer(sideDrawer: TKSideDrawer!, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
        //let section = sideDrawer.sections()[indexPath.section] as! TKSideDrawerSection
        //let item = section.items()[indexPath.item] as! TKSideDrawerItem
        let section = indexPath.section
        if section == 1 || section == 2 {
            //first check if the person selected the same index that is currently being viewed
            let indexDict = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey(KeyValues.keySelectedIndex()) as! NSDictionary
            let previousIndex : NSIndexPath = NSIndexPath().convertDictToIndexPath(indexDict)
            if previousIndex != indexPath {
                //store selected index
                NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(indexPath.convertIndexPathToDict(), forKey: KeyValues.keySelectedIndex())
                //give the menu enough time to close before replacing the view with the new view
                //self.performSelector("showNewViewController:", withObject: indexPath, afterDelay: 0.2)
                let delay = 0.25
                let intDelay = Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))
                let popTime = dispatch_time_t(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, intDelay))
                dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), { Void in
                    self.showNewViewController(indexPath)
                })
                //after any selection call the setup method again just to make sure the custom views stay the same
                self.setupSideMenu()

            }
        }
    }

I believe I found a solution that works. Due to how I was using my side menu it was getting re-drawn after every selection so on the sections that I don't have any interactions with I just called the removeAllSections method and then when it's redrawn it shows up correctly. Thanks.

Hello, Sal,

Thank you for writing.

I am glad to understand that you found a solution for the issue. However we could not reproduce it, could you please send me a sample project that can be compiled and where the issue occurs so I could investigate it further?

Thank you for your cooperation. I am looking forward to your reply. 

Regards,
Adrian
