Error reloading custom cell after changing data - iphone

Question

I have a set up tableView which works fine.
As you can see below I want to add an image to my cell when the value for the object #"sent" changes to #"yes". After this is done i call [sendTable reloadData] but nothing happens to the tableView. Only when I restart the app my image is properly shown in the cell.
So obviously reloadData isn't doing anything here.
Can anybody figure out the problem?
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell;
if (tableView == sendTable) {
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *writableDBPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"savedItems.plist"];
savedItemsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:writableDBPath];
NSDictionary* item = [savedItemsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *temp = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#,%#", [[savedItemsArray valueForKey:#"name"]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row],
[[savedItemsArray valueForKey:#"message"]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
UIView *background;
cell = [self.sendTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:temp];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:temp];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
background = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.frame];
[cell addSubview:background];
[cell sendSubviewToBack:background];
}
if ([[item objectForKey:#"sent"] isEqualToString: #"no"]) {
UILabel *personLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, cell.frame.size.width-150, 20)];
personLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
personLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#",[item objectForKey:#"name"]];
personLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17];
UILabel *personLabel2 = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 30, cell.frame.size.width-150, 20)];
personLabel2.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
personLabel2.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"(%#)", [item objectForKey:#"number"]];
personLabel2.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
UILabel *dateLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(cell.frame.size.width-125, 10, 80, 40)];
dateLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
dateLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#\n%#",[item objectForKey:#"date"], [item objectForKey:#"time"]];
dateLabel.textColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
dateLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
dateLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:13];
dateLabel.numberOfLines = 2;
UILabel *messageLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 60, cell.frame.size.width-50, 20)];
messageLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
messageLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#",[item objectForKey:#"message"]];
messageLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
messageLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];

[background addSubview:personLabel2];
[background addSubview:dateLabel];
[background addSubview:messageLabel];
[cell addSubview:background];
}else{

personLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
personLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#",[item objectForKey:#"name"]];

messageLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
UIImage *checkmarkImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"done.png"];
UIImageView *checkmark = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:checkmarkImage];
[checkmark setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 35, 20, 20)];
[background addSubview:personLabel];
[background addSubview:personLabel2];
[background addSubview:dateLabel];
[background addSubview:messageLabel];
[background addSubview:checkmark];
[cell addSubview:background];
}
}
return cell;
}
Thanks a lot!

As you are adding several UILabel and UIView to a cell,i think u should customize your own UITableViewCell.
Try to create a class subclassing UITableviewCell, and add subview in the implement.
Hope my answer is helpful
