Question

How can I add multiple images in a single cell in UITableView?

I want to use images to indicate the player status and every player may have several statuses at the same time.

Answer 1

inherit UITableViewCell to make a custom cell. Lets say its called MyCustomCell.

use it like below

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    // In your case it has to be the custom cell object here.

    MyCustomCell *cell = (MyCustomCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"AnIdentifierString"];

    if (cell == nil) 
    {
        cell = [[[MyCustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:@"AnIdentifierString"] autorelease];
    }

    //use your cell here
    //  cell.textLabel.text = @"This text will appear in the cell";
    return cell;
}

You can override init with style of MyCustomCell as follows for multiple images

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {

    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self) {

    //change frame sizes to palce the image in the cell
        UIImageView * thumbnail1 = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(17, 12, 62, 62)];
        thumbnail1.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon.png"];
        [self addSubview:thumbnail1];

        UIImageView * thumbnail2 = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(17, 12, 62, 62)];
        thumbnail2.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon.png"];
        [self addSubview:thumbnail2];

        UIImageView * thumbnail3 = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(17, 12, 62, 62)];
        thumbnail3.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon.png"];
        [self addSubview:thumbnail3];

    }
    return self;
}
