Gradient in UIView inside UITableViewCell changed

Question

I have set a gradient color to UIView inside my UITableViewCell. Everything works fine in the first load but after scroll, the gradient color is loaded again and change the position every time than the actual set condition. Here's my code for implementing gradient color :

what should I do?

Add Gradient Layer

func gradient(frame:CGRect,colors: [CGColor]) -> CAGradientLayer {
    let layer = CAGradientLayer()
    layer.frame = frame
    layer.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.0)
    layer.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.0)
    layer.locations = [0.5,0.35]
    layer.colors = colors
    return layer
}

UITableViewCell Class

class AllOfferlistCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet weak var lbltitle: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var lblPopular: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var VwPercentage: UIView!   
}

tableView cellForRowAtindexPath

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! AllOfferlistCell

    cell.lbltitle.text = "Index \(indexPath.row)"

    if self.DataArray[indexPath.row].Flag == "1"{

        cell.VwPercentage.layer.insertSublayer(gradient(frame: cell.VwPercentage.bounds, colors: [UIColor.red.cgColor,UIColor.white.cgColor]), at: 1)
        cell.lblPopular.text = "POPULAR"

    }else{

        cell.VwPercentage.layer.insertSublayer(gradient(frame: cell.VwPercentage.bounds, colors: [UIColor.blue.cgColor,UIColor.white.cgColor]), at: 1)
        cell.lblPopular.text = "50% OFF"
    }

    return cell
}

Output :

First time load

After scrolling

Create custom view like below

@IBDesignable class TriangleGradientView: UIView {
    @IBInspectable var topColor: UIColor = UIColor.red {
        didSet {
            setGradient()
        }
    }
    @IBInspectable var bottomColor: UIColor = UIColor.blue {
        didSet {
            setGradient()
        }
    }

    override class var layerClass: AnyClass {
        return CAGradientLayer.self
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        setGradient()
    }

    private func setGradient() {
        (layer as! CAGradientLayer).colors = [topColor.cgColor, bottomColor.cgColor]
        (layer as! CAGradientLayer).startPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.0)
        (layer as! CAGradientLayer).endPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.0)
        (layer as! CAGradientLayer).locations = [0.5,0.35]
    }

}

Use

1. set customclass of VwPercentage to TriangleGradientView in interface builder

2. change VwPercentage type to TriangleGradientView.

   func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
   let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! AllOfferlistCell
   cell.lbltitle.text = "Index \(indexPath.row)"
   if self.DataArray[indexPath.row].Flag == "1"{
       cell.VwPercentage.topColor = .red
       cell.lblPopular.text = "POPULAR"
   }else{
       cell.VwPercentage.topColor = .blue
       cell.lblPopular.text = "50% OFF"
   }
   cell.VwPercentage.bottomColor = .white
   return cell
   

   }

You can achieve different gradient colors by using array of gradient colors. Because when you scroll UITableView, cell is reused so gradient color is changing at every reused cell.

Initialize array of gradients colors

let primaryGradientColorsArray = [Color1,Color2,Color3];
let secondaryGradientColorsArray = [Color1,Color2,Color3];

and in UITableView delegate

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! AllOfferlistCell

cell.lbltitle.text = "Index \(indexPath.row)"

if self.DataArray[indexPath.row].Flag == "1"{

    cell.VwPercentage.layer.insertSublayer(gradient(frame: cell.VwPercentage.bounds, colors: [primaryGradientColorsArray[indexPath.row],secondaryGradientColorsArray[indexPath.row]]), at: 1)
    cell.lblPopular.text = "POPULAR"

}else{

    cell.VwPercentage.layer.insertSublayer(gradient(frame: cell.VwPercentage.bounds, colors: [primaryGradientColorsArray[indexPath.row],secondaryGradientColorsArray[indexPath.row]]), at: 1)
    cell.lblPopular.text = "50% OFF"
}

return cell
}
