here is the code which i used for custom renderering
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(ViewCell),
typeof(StandardViewCellRenderer))]
namespace Sample.iOS.Renderers.RevisedRenderer
{
public class StandardViewCellRenderer : ViewCellRenderer
{
public override UIKit.UITableViewCell GetCell(Cell item,
UIKit.UITableViewCell reusableCell, UIKit.UITableView tv)
{
var cell = base.GetCell(item, reusableCell, tv);
switch (item.StyleId)
{
case "none":
cell.Accessory = UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.None;
break;
case "checkmark":
cell.Accessory = UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.Checkmark;
break;
case "detail-button":
cell.Accessory =
UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.DetailButton;
break;
case "detail-disclosure-button":
cell.Accessory =
UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.DetailDisclosureButton;
break;
case "disclosure":
default:
cell.Accessory =
UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.DisclosureIndicator;
break;
}
return cell;
}
}
}
let me know what need to be modified or add to make it work

Answer 1

remove your switch, and leave the code like this:
var cell = base.GetCell (item, reusableCell, tv);
cell .Accessory = UITableViewCellAccessory.DisclosureIndicator;

Answer 2

Cause:

but this this view renderer never gets call
The view renderer did get call in your project while the code inside Switch statement never executed, because item.StyleId is always null. You can add a breakpoint to check it.
Solution:
If you want to remove the arrow, just set cell.Accessory = UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.None; will work.
class StandardViewCellRenderer : ViewCellRenderer
{
public override UIKit.UITableViewCell GetCell(Cell item,
UIKit.UITableViewCell reusableCell, UIKit.UITableView tv)
{
var cell = base.GetCell(item, reusableCell, tv);
Console.WriteLine(item.StyleId);
cell.Accessory = UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.None;
// switch (item.StyleId)
// {
// case "none":
// cell.Accessory = UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.None;
// break;
// case "checkmark":
// cell.Accessory = UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.Checkmark;
// break;
// case "detail-button":
// cell.Accessory =
// UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.DetailButton;
// break;
// case "detail-disclosure-button":
// cell.Accessory =
//UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.DetailDisclosureButton;
// break;
// case "disclosure":
// default:
// cell.Accessory =
// UIKit.UITableViewCellAccessory.DisclosureIndicator;
// break;
// }
return cell;
}
}
If you want to show cells with different cell.Accessory style, you can create a custom property instead of using StyleId.
I also uploaded a demo here.
