Here's how its done i believe the correct way. It works on Ipad and Iphone as i tested it. We have to create our own customCells by classing a uitableviewcell:
start off in interfaceBuilder ...
create a new UIViewcontroller call it customCell (volunteer for a xib while your there)
Make sure customCell is a subclass of uitableviewcell
erase all views now and create one view make it the size of a individual cell. make that view subclass customcell. now create two other views (duplicate the first).
Go to your connections inspector and find 2 IBOutlets you can connect to these views now.
-backgroundView
-SelectedBackground
connect these to the last two views you just duplicated and dont worry about them.
the very first view that extends customCell, put your label and uitextfield inside of it.
got into customCell.h and hook up your label and textfield. Set the height of this view to say 75 (height of each cell)
all done.
In your customCell.m file make sure the constructor looks something like this:
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
NSArray *nibArray = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomCell" owner:self options:nil];
self = [nibArray objectAtIndex:0];
}
return self;
}
Now create a UITableViewcontroller and in this method use the customCell class like this :
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
// lets use our customCell which has a label and textfield already installed for us
customCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
//cell = [[[customCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
NSArray *topLevelsObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"NewUserCustomCell" owner:nil options:nil];
for (id currentObject in topLevelsObjects){
if ([currentObject isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]){
cell = (customCell *) currentObject;
break;
}
}
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
switch (row) {
case 0:
{
cell.titleLabel.text = @"First Name"; //label we made (uitextfield also available now)
break;
}
}
return cell;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return 75.0;
}
