how to add custom uitableviewcell to uitableview created with ib? - iphone

Question

I have uitableview created with IB. And I designed my own uitableviewcell (it is subclass of uiatbleviewcell and has its own xib file). How to add it to my uitableview??
I tried
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath
*)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"myCell";
myCell *cell = (myCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *xib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"myCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [xib objectAtIndex:0];
}
// Configure the cell...
cell.title.text = #"tableCell";
cell.preview.text = #"preview";
cell.postedTime.text = #"right now";
return cell;
}
It works incorrect. I can't include images here, because my rep is 10 (need min. 11 to upload images). So here's link to show my bad results. This is what i want: http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/5082/20120903153930.png

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if(btnTag == 1)
return [array1 count];
if(btnTag == 2)
return [array2 count];
return YES;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return 62;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
CustomCell *cell = [[CustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(btnTag == 1)
{
cell.teamLabel.text = #"i am 'A'cell";
}
if(btnTag == 2)
{
cell.teamLabel.text = #"i am 'B'cell";
}
return cell;
}

You dont have to add it like this on your xib file. Acc to what you have done you have added a UITableViewCell on another UITableView. Do you really want to create a custom cell ?? You can simply add any data into the UITableView in the
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Then add the cell's accordingly like UILabels , UIImageViews etc .
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:nil];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:nil ];
}
UIButton *Imagebutton = [[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 5, 30, 30)];
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Lock Unlock.png"];
[Imagebutton setImage:img forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[Imagebutton addTarget:self action:#selector(aMethod1:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[cell.contentView addSubview:Imagebutton];
UILabel *MealsforLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 10, 140, 30)];
MealsforLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:MealsforLabel];
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cell.textLabel.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
return cell;
Something like the above.
