UITableView not reusing cells with storyboard - ios

Question

I'm developing an iOS 7+ app, and I've some UITableViewController in storyboard that are showing a weird behavior. I've a basic prototype cell defined in one of them, with an identifier #"standardCell" also set in storyboard. In the associated UITableViewController class, I've this:
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 20;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"standardCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
Cells are loaded the first tiem the table view is shown, but as soon as I scroll the table content, all cell titles that were set appear empty and cellForRowAtIndexPath: is not called anymore. The didSelectRowAtIndexPath: delegate method is neither called.
I've set both delegate and dataSource for this table view to be the table view controller. And its .h file conforms to UITableViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>.
I find a similar issue with another table view and associated view controller, where prototype cell is a custom cell instead: cells show wrong data and weird content when I scroll the table, as if cells where not being dequeued and reused as expected.
What could I being missing?
Thanks

Answer 1

at least in this method:
Change this:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"standardCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
To this:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"standardCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
