How to add UITableviewController inside UIView

Question

I have one view controller which is a subclass of UITableViewcontroller, that UITableViewcontroller i need show under one UIView which I need to assign Corner Radius so it will match with my design.

UITableViewcontroller is the Generic tableview class which I have used in the whole project so I couldn't make changes in the structure.

All my ViewController are created programmatically, i have not used anywhere Storyboard.

Here is my Viewconroller Code where I am implementing

headerViewController is part which i mark as white

deal and team controller is my UITableviewController which i have added in SJSegment

     private func setupSegmentController() {
        segmentViewController.headerViewHeight = 350
        segmentViewController.headerViewController = headerViewController

        segmentViewController.segmentControllers = [
            dealViewController,
            teamViewController]
        segmentViewController.delegate = self
        
        addChild(segmentViewController)
        segmentViewController.view.frame = view.bounds
        view.addSubview(segmentViewController.view)
        segmentViewController.didMove(toParent: self)
        
      }

Below in red highlighted is the area which i need to design

1. Either add UItableview in the view and make use of its delegates and data sources, or 2. Use a container view and embed UITableviewController into it like a child view. — Saurabh Yadav, Nov 22 '19 at 06:41

My deals and teams controller already added as child views in SJSegmentedScrollView — Darshan, Nov 22 '19 at 06:43
Adding corner radius to the view suffices then, or i may not be able to understand your view hierarchy, can you elaborate other missing items. — Saurabh Yadav, Nov 22 '19 at 06:47
You can't add view controller in UIVIew. Either you can add tableview in view or can add view controller's view into another view by adding view controller as child. — Mahendra, Nov 22 '19 at 06:52
@user1374, add the corner radius to view that has segmentViewController as child, that is all — Saurabh Yadav, Nov 22 '19 at 07:04
You need to subclass UITableView and add UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate to your custom class. — tuyen le, Nov 22 '19 at 07:05
i have also tried with that but it applied to the whole segmentViewController, as you can see in image i want only in deals and terms controller — Darshan, Nov 22 '19 at 07:09
@user1374 can you share the UI of the DESIGN you want as well. — Saurabh Yadav, Nov 22 '19 at 07:13

What I understand you want to add a view controller as child in some other view controller. You have to use ContainerView in the View Controller where you want to show that table Table View Controller. Create an outlet of that Container View then add the table view as child.

let yourTableViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "yourTableViewController") as! UITableViewcontroller
yourTableViewController.view.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleHeight, .flexibleWidth]
yourTableViewController.view.frame = self.containerView.bounds
self.addChild(yourTableViewController)
containerView.addSubview(yourTableViewController.view)
yourTableViewController.didMove(toParent: self)

Or he can just subclass UITableView. Creating A ViewController is not necessary — tuyen le, Nov 22 '19 at 07:07

You need to subclass UITableView and view.addSubview(yourCustomClass) . It is not necessary to add UITableViewController inside your UIView

Controllers it's also a basic class that can control your view. You can add as subview tableView you your generic view and set their delegate and dataSource to the main view controller. You don't need to create tablewviewcontroller for this.

all you need is - (inside main view controller)

tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self.

and after this you must implement protocol conformance

MainViewController: UITableViewCOntrollerDelegate {

// implementation here
}

MainViewController: UITableViewControllerDataSource {
// implementation here
}

After this you can customise your table view like view and do what you want
