Question

For every UITableViewCell I’m creating a UIButton in the tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath method. I want to check if UIButton is already there when creating it, so it’s not added multiple times, but I can’t. Here’s my code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

        UIImageView *cellBottomLine = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, CELL_HEIGHT, 320.0, 1)];
        cellBottomLine.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bottomCellImage.png"];
    if (cellBottomLine.subviews) {
        [cell addSubview:cellBottomLine];
    }

        copyButton = [BSFunctions createButtonWithNormalImageNamed:@"copyCellButton.png" highlightedImageName:@"copyCellButtonPressed.png" target:self selector:@selector(copyPressedFromCell:)];
        [copyButton setFrame:CGRectMake(250, 10, 62, 32.5)];
        copyButton.tag = indexPath.row;
    if (!copyButton.superview) {
        [cell addSubview:copyButton];
    }

    return cell;
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
     UIImageView *cellBottomLine = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, CELL_HEIGHT, 320.0, 1)];
cellBottomLine.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bottomCellImage.png"];
    if (cellBottomLine.subviews) 
    {
        [cell addSubview:cellBottomLine];
    }

    for (UIView *view in [cell subviews]) 
    {
        if ([view isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]]) 
        {
             return cell;
        }
    }

    copyButton = [BSFunctions createButtonWithNormalImageNamed:@"copyCellButton.png"
                                          highlightedImageName:@"copyCellButtonPressed.png"
                                                        target:self
                                                      selector:@selector(copyPressedFromCell:)];
    [copyButton setFrame:CGRectMake(250, 10, 62, 32.5)];
    copyButton.tag = indexPath.row;
    if (!copyButton.superview)
    {
        [cell addSubview:copyButton];
    }

    return cell;
}
