Here is my code. .h file

Answer 1

// create a rectangle box for image view

UIImageView *iconImage = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
iconImage.frame = CGRectMake(12,4,53.5,53.5);

// Create a label for cells
UILabel *cellName = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(75,18,200,20)];
cellName.font = [self fontForBodyTextStyle];

NSString *cellNameStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",self.tableCellNames[indexPath.row]];

// Select path row tab actions
switch (indexPath.row) {
    case 0:

        cellName.text = cellNameStr;
        iconImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"condition.png"];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:iconImage];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:cellName];

        break;

    case 1:
       cellName.text = cellNameStr;
        iconImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"videos.png"];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:iconImage];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:cellName];
        break;

    case 2:
        cellName.text = cellNameStr;
        iconImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"provider.png"];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:iconImage];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:cellName];
        break;

    case 3:
        cellName.text = cellNameStr;
        iconImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"info.png"];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:iconImage];
        [cell.contentView addSubview:cellName];
        break;

    default:
        NSAssert(NO, @"Unhandled value in cellForRowAtIndexPath");
        break;
}

Thank VKJ,

you adding it right, but you fogot one thing:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *SimpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableIdentifier";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: SimpleTableIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) { cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc]
                                initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:SimpleTableIdentifier] autorelease];
    }
    NSUInteger row = [indexPath row]; cell.textLabel.text = [listData objectAtIndex:row];

    UIImageView *imv = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(3,2, 20, 25)];
    imv.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"user.jpg"];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:imv];
    [imv release];

    //you fogot this:
    return cell;
     }

Move return cell; at the end of the method:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *SimpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableIdentifier";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: SimpleTableIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) { cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc]
                                initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:SimpleTableIdentifier] autorelease];
    }
    NSUInteger row = [indexPath row]; 
    cell.textLabel.text = [listData objectAtIndex:row]; 


    UIImageView *imv = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(3,2, 20, 25)];
    imv.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"user.jpg"];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:imv];
    [imv release];

    return cell;
}

Answer 4

You can add images using the imageView property of a cell:

cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"user.jpg"];

in your - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method.

Here's an example cell loading a facebook image in a table cell.

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
                                       reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
        cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
    }

    // Leave cells empty if there's no data yet
    if (nodeCount > 0)
    {
        // Set up the cell...
        AppRecord *appRecord = [self.friendsList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

        cell.textLabel.text = friend.name;

        // Only load cached images; defer new downloads until scrolling ends
        if (!appRecord.icon)
        {
            // set the url
            appRecord.imageURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://graph.facebook.com/%@/picture", friend.recordID];

            // request the download
            if (self.tableView.dragging == NO && self.tableView.decelerating == NO)
            {
                [self startIconDownload:appRecord forIndexPath:indexPath];
            }
            // if a download is deferred or in progress, return a placeholder image
            cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Placeholder.png"];                
        }
        else
        {
            cell.imageView.image = appRecord.icon;
        }

    }

    return cell;
