Xlpagertabstrip: I created a custom cell with a badge. How to access the badge to update the number programatically?

[junweimah]

I have my xib set up and the screen now looks like this :

I have my cell.swift like this :

    @IBOutlet weak var ivTabIcon: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet weak var lblTitle: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var viewBadge: UIView!
    @IBOutlet weak var lblBadge: UILabel!

And I configure the title and icon like this in my parent view controller :

    override func configure(cell: TabImageCellCollectionViewCell, for indicatorInfo: IndicatorInfo) {
        cell.ivTabIcon.image = indicatorInfo.image
        cell.lblTitle.text = indicatorInfo.title
    }

But however this is useless because this is a one time configure, I would like to change the badge number after pulling some info from api. Which must happen outside of this configure function.

How do I access the badge property?

Thanks

Hi, @junweimah , i have did the same thing to access and update the badge,Its works, i have made the following function to do that.

func updateBadge(){
   if let cell = buttonBarView.cellForItem(at: IndexPath(item: 1, section: 0)) as? FriendCollectionViewCell{
        cell.badge.isHidden = self.totalFriendRequest == 0 ? true : false
        cell.badgeCounter.text =  self.totalFriendRequest.description
      }
}

1. cell.badge = is UIview with red Background.
2. cell.badgeCounter = is number of request counter label.
   
   
   
   1. if let cell = buttonBarView.cellForItem(at: IndexPath(item: 1, section: 0)) as? FriendCollectionViewCell = Here FriendCollectionViewCell is your custom cell which you have made.
      
      Note: In my case i need to update only second cell of Bar, that is why i have tried to get the IndexPath(item: 1, section: 0)
   
   

Please let me know if you are not clear yet.
