UITableView is revealed only after it is scrolled upwards - iphone

Question

I have a storyboard with a UIView and a UITableView in it. The UITableView has custom cells (UITableViewCell with xib).
When I run the app, only the first row of the table is shown, the rest of the table is hidden.
The rows are not seen on the screen, but they respond to user interaction as expected.
The rest of the cells are revealed only after the table is scrolled upwards.
What could be the problem?
Here is the code for UIView with the table:
#implementation EldersTableViewController
#synthesize items;
#synthesize tableView;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
EldersDataHendler *edh = [[EldersDataHendler alloc]init];
NSMutableArray *itemsFromPList = [edh dataForTableFrom:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"eldersData" ofType:#"plist"]]];
self.items = itemsFromPList;
[edh release];
edh=nil;
}
- (void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
- (IBAction)didPressBackButton:(UIButton *)sender {
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.items count];
}
-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
return 1;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
SEObject *cellInfo = [self.items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
EldersItemCell* cell = (EldersItemCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"EldersItemCell"];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray* topObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"EldersItemCell" owner:self options:nil];
for (id obj in topObjects){
if ([obj isKindOfClass:[EldersItemCell class]]){
cell = (EldersItemCell*)obj;
break;
}
}
}
[cell setObject:cellInfo];
return cell;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
SEObject *cellInfo = [self.items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if (!eldersDetailsViewController){
eldersDetailsViewController = [[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"elderDetailsVC"] retain];
}
eldersDetailsViewController.seObject = cellInfo;
[self.view addSubview:eldersDetailsViewController.view];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[eldersDetailsViewController release];
[tableView release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
Thanks in advance,

1st just create an object class for your cell design,then import it in your .m file.then try like this and connect the table view delegate and data source properly
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Displayfriendscell";
Displayfriendscell *cell = (Displayfriendscell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[Displayfriendscell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
// Configure the cell...
[[cell viewWithTag:121] removeFromSuperview];
[[cell viewWithTag:151] removeFromSuperview];
friend *user = [sortedFriendsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
//cell.nameLabel.text = user.contactNAame;
cell.nameLabel.text = user.friendName;
//cell.nameLabel.text =[[sortedFriendsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"];
//user.friendName=[[sortedFriendsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"];
NSLog(#"name is%#",cell.nameLabel.text);
return cell;
}

Problem solved! Thanks a lot dear arooaroo. There was something with the custom cell with the xib. So I've created a custom Table View Cell programmatically. Here is a nice tutorial
