Load Multiple Prototype Cells into UITableView

Question

I currently have a UITableView containing 2 rows of a custom cell. I recently added a second prototype cell to my storyboard and have been attempting to add it to my UITableView

Answer 1

I set up a test app using code similar to what you have in cellForRowAtIndexPath, and I got the same results. Even though the code in my if indexPath.section == 2 clause was entered, the cell that was returned looked the same as my first two cells (but with no string in the label); this is despite the fact that I set it up with different sub views, and a log showed it to be the correct class for what I wanted for section 2. Why this happens, I don't know, but to fix it what you need to do is to dequeue the cell inside your if blocks like so.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {


cell.userInteractionEnabled = false

if indexPath.section == 0 {
    let cell: FlightsDetailCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as FlightsDetailCell
    cell.graphView.enableBezierCurve = true
    cell.graphView.enableReferenceYAxisLines = true
    cell.graphView.enableYAxisLabel = true
    cell.graphView.colorYaxisLabel = UIColor.whiteColor()
    cell.graphView.delegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as BEMSimpleLineGraphDelegate
    cell.graphView.dataSource = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as BEMSimpleLineGraphDataSource
    return cell
}

else if indexPath.section == 1 {
    let cell: FlightsDetailCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as FlightsDetailCell
    cell.graphView.enableBezierCurve = true
    cell.graphView.enableReferenceYAxisLines = true
    cell.graphView.enableYAxisLabel = true
    cell.graphView.colorYaxisLabel = UIColor.whiteColor()
    cell.graphView.delegate = self
    cell.graphView.dataSource = self
    return cell
}

else {
    let cell2: FlightsInformationCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell2", forIndexPath: indexPath) as FlightsInformationCell
    cell2.userInteractionEnabled = false
    return cell2
}

}

This could be further refactored to take out repetitive code, but this should work...
