UITextFields in UITableView, entered values reappearing in other cells

Question

I have a UITableView with about 20 cells, in each cell there are three UITextFields. I did NOT subclass UITableViewCell, but when setting up each cell I set the textfields t

Answer 1

The issue is that when the cell is reused (i.e. dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier returns non-nil), the cell is returned with the existing UITextView. To maintain the uniqueness of the tags, it'll be better to remove any previous UITextField:

- (void)removeExistingTextSubviews:(UITableViewCell *)cell
{
    NSMutableArray *toRemove = [NSMutableArray array];
    // I don't know if you have non-TextField subviews
    for (id view in [cell subviews]) {
        if ([view isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]] && view.tag >= 1000) {
           [toRemove insert:view];
        }
    }

    for (id view in toRemove) {
        [toRemove removeFromSuperView];
    }
}

...

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
} else {
    [self removeExistingTextSubviews:cell];
}
//Modify cell, adding textfield with row-unique index value
cell = [self modifyCellForHoleInfo:cell atIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone; 

// Load value for textfield stored in dataArray
((UITextField *)[cell viewWithTag:1000+indexPath.row]).text = [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

Please note that I haven't compiled the code, but it should serve as a starting point.
