Answer 1

I know this is a bit late, but I had a similar issue where UILabels created for a cell were still part of the cell when it was reused. So each successive update of the tableview created another UILabel on top of the existing one. I moved the creation of the Labels into the if condition as below and it resolved my issue. Hope it helps someone else. Also note no release as I am using ARC.

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    if (cell == nil) 

    {

    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    cityText = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 20)];
    cityText.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:20];
    cityText.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft; 
    cityText.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    regionText = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 40, 100, 20)];
    regionText.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:20];
    regionText.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft; 
    regionText.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    }

I also had the same issue.I also had composed tableView with labels.And when I scroll it down the contents got overlapped.But it got solved simply by editing one statement in cellForRowAtIndexPath.

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:nil];

I think this will solve your problem.

I figured it out with some trial and error; if this can help some one

In cellforRowAtIndexPath i tried to clear all the cells subview before drawing the cell

//TRY TO REMOVE ALL CONTENT
    for(UIView *view in cell.contentView.subviews){
        if ([view isKindOfClass:[UIView class]]) {
            [view removeFromSuperview];
        }
    }

I would be happy if someone can point me to some easier way

Thanks

You can use

[[[cell contentView] subviews] makeObjectsPerformSelector: @selector(removeFromSuperview)];

If the cell in not nil, the above code will reduce the time for using the for loop similar to this

for(UIView *eachView in [cell subviews])
    [eachView removeFromSuperview];

Setting nil to label text on UITableViewCell subclass 's method prepareForReuse() solved my problem -

  override func prepareForReuse() {
    super.prepareForReuse()
    self.label1.text = nil
    self.label2.text = nil
    ....
}
