How to handle the dynamically inserted UITableView cells with same identifier? - ios

Question

I'm inserting a new row when "+" Button on top of the table view is clicked. It is adding fine. but the cells are reordering when tableview is scrolled up and down. Is there any way to handle this? Here is the complete code.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.title = #"TABLE";
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
array1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"Row1",#"Row2",#"Row3",#"Row4", nil];
table1 = [[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 360, 360)style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
table1.delegate = self;
table1.dataSource = self;
table1.backgroundColor = [UIColor brownColor];
[self.view addSubview:table1];
UIBarButtonItem *plusButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:#selector(plusButtonHit)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = plusButton;
}
-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [array1 count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(nonnull NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.textLabel.text = [array1 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
}
return cell;
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
SecondViewController *secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController animated:YES];
}
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
NSUInteger count = [array1 count];
if (row < count)
{
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
} else
{
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete)
{
[array1 removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
}
}
- (void)plusButtonHit
{
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [[NSIndexPath alloc]init];
indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:array1.count inSection:0];
NSString *newString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Row%ld", (long)indexPath.row+1];
[array1 addObject:newString];
[table1 insertRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
}

Answer 1

In cellForRowAt method set cell's label text after the if condition block.
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
}
//Set cell's label text here
cell.textLabel.text = [array1 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;

Answer 2

change the code like this: set reuseIdentifier:nil
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(nonnull NSIndexPath *)indexPath
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil];
