So I added a recently played icon button on the now playing page, I linked it to a tableview and got it working. I inputed the JSON recently played link in the station long description. Here is my code for the recently played tableviewcontroller:
import UIKit
//----------
//MARK: JSON
//----------
//The Initial Response From The JSON
struct Response: Codable {
var playHistory: Album
}
//The Album Received Which Is An Array Of Song Data
struct Album: Codable {
var song: [SongData]
}
//The SongData From The PlayHistory Album
struct SongData: Codable{
var album: String
var artist: String
var cover: String
var duration: String
var programStartTS: String
var title: String
}
class TableViewController: UITableViewController {
//1. Create An Array To Store The SongData
var songs = [SongData]()
var currentStation: RadioStation!
var downloadTask: URLSessionDownloadTask?
override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad()
self.tableView.delegate = self
self.tableView.dataSource = self
//2. Load The JSON From The Main Bundle
guard let urlText = URL (string: currentStation.longDesc)
else { return }
do{
//a. Get The Data From The From The File
let data = try Data(contentsOf: urlText)
//b. Decode The Data To Our Structs
let albumData = try JSONDecoder().decode(Response.self, from: data)
//c. Append The Songs Array With The PlayHistory
albumData.playHistory.song.forEach { songs.append($0) }
//d. Test Some Data
print("""
**The First Album Details**
Album = \(songs[0].album)
Artist = \(songs[0].artist)
Cover = \(songs[0].cover)
Duration = \(songs[0].duration)
Start = \(songs[0].programStartTS)
Title = \(songs[0].title)
""")
//3. Load The Data
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}catch{
print(error)
}
}
//-----------------
//MARK: UITableView
//-----------------
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return songs.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
//1. Create A Cell
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! TableViewCell
//2. Set It's Text
cell.songTitle.text = songs[indexPath.row].title
cell.artistLabel.text = songs[indexPath.row].artist
//3. Get The Image
//Start with placeholder image so it shows until image download completes
cell.songCover.image = UIImage(named: "WhiteLogo.png")
//Continue with your logic, no change really but could be shortened to:
if let imageURL = URL(string: songs[indexPath.row].cover) {
let request = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: imageURL) { (imageData, response, error) in
guard let imageData = imageData
else {
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
cell.songCover.image = UIImage(data: imageData)
}
}
request.resume()
}
return cell
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
print("""
**Album \(indexPath.row) Selected**
Album = \(songs[indexPath.row].album)
Artist = \(songs[indexPath.row].artist)
Cover = \(songs[indexPath.row].cover)

Start = \(songs[indexPath.row].programStartTS)
