Adding controls programmatically in UITableViewCell in static UITableView - ios

Question

I have a static UITableView to which I am populating through NSDictionary in cellForRowAtIndexPath method.
NSString *key = [sectionKeys objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]];
NSArray *contents = [sectionContents objectForKey:key];
NSString *contentForThisRow = [contents objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
[[cell textLabel] setText:contentForThisRow];
Thinks working well, I also need to add controls to tableviewcells and every cell has different controls. When I programmatically add UITextField to cell1 the view after running is fine till 5 sections, but when I scroll my tableview further down, the cell of section 6 also gets a UITextField control. Same is happening with UIDatePicker, that first 5 sections of my tableview are fine but on scrolling the tableview the last two sections also get the UIDatePicker control.
Note: I have nine sections in table view each having one cell with the exception of first two sections that contain two cells.

Answer 1

What I understood:
The layout of your cells is getting messed up and controls from one cell go to the other one.
What I suggest:
It is a common problem, I faced it a while ago and it was extremely frustrating. After a few hours of googling I found a solution: Use different cell identifiers for cells with different controls.
Example:
5 cells: 2 cells with only a UITextField, 1 cell with UITextField and a UILabel and 2 cells with UIImageView. Use 3 different cell identifiers. 1 for the cells with only a UITextField, 1 for the cells with UIImageView and 1 for the cell with UITextField and a UILabel.
Hope it helps.
