Question

I am having a table view with 5 sections each section contains a only 1 row each row displays a customized cell. Everything is working properly but section zero is repeating at section four I am not able to trace this. This is my code.

-(void) setUpActivityView {
    [self createViews];
}


#pragma  mark Table View methods
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    return 5;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return 1;
}


- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    if (indexPath.section == 0) { 
        return 167;
    }
    else if (indexPath.section == 1) {
        return 200;
    }
    else if (indexPath.section == 2) {
        return 115;
    }
    else if (indexPath.section == 3) {
        return 90;
    }
    else {
        return 155;
    }

}


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

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"customCellIdentifier";

    if (indexPath.section == 0 && indexPath.row == 0) {
        _notificationCell = (NotificationsCustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

        if (_notificationCell == nil) {
            _notificationCell = [[[NotificationsCustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];

        }

        _notificationCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

        return _notificationCell;
    }
    else if (indexPath.section == 1 && indexPath.row == 0) {
         _topMatchCell = (TopMatchCustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

        if (_topMatchCell == nil) {
            _topMatchCell = [[[TopMatchCustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];   
        }

        _topMatchCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

        return _topMatchCell;
    }
    else if (indexPath.section == 2 && indexPath.row == 0) {

Answer 1

Use different cell identifiers for different cells. As new cells scroll into your view, old cells that scrolled out of your view will be reused based on the identifier you provide on dequeueing.

Let me guess, on load your fifth cell is not within your view?
