Custom components to cells in Table - ios

Question

How do i add different componenets to different cells in a tableview. Please note that this is a static table and i have only 4 cells.
The first cell will have an UIImageView.
The other 3 cells will just have labels or textfieilds.
How can i add these components.
Note: This is a storyboard based application and i have added
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
MyTableViewCell *cell;
if(indexPath.row == 0)
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell0"];
cell.profImageView.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"m.jpg"];
return cell;
}
else if(indexPath.row == 1)
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell1"];
cell.lbl.text=#"Hey";
return cell;
}
else if(indexPath.row == 2)
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell2"];
cell.lbl.text=#"Hey 2";
return cell;
}
return cell;
}

Answer 1

You are having 4 rows in your data source but you are only providing cell object for 3 rows. The last return statement will execute for indexPath.row==3 and you have not initialised it. Just initialise it for indexPath.row==3 and you are good to go.

Answer 2

MyTableViewCell *cell;
if(indexPath.row == 0)
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell0"];
cell.profImageView.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"m.jpg"];
}
else if(indexPath.row == 1)
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell1"];
cell.lbl.text=#"Hey";
}
else
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell2"];
cell.lbl.text=#"Hey 2";
}
return cell;
The reason that you don't give the default return value to your function and it asks for "If everything goes wrong what will i return?". So you may fix your codes like above and you can try to make like below with the switch - case.
TableViewCell *cell;
switch (indexPath.row) {
case 0:{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell0"];
cell.imageView.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"m.jpg"];
}break;
case 1:{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell1"];
cell.myLabel.text=#"Hey";
}break;
case 2:{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell2"];
cell.myLabel.text=#"Hey 2";
}break;
default:{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell0"];
cell.imageView.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"m.jpg"];
}
break;
}
return cell;
In above switch-case you may call which cell you want in default statement.
