Question

I have 5 seperate sections in a table, 2 of the sections have customizable cells, when in EDITING mode, 2 of the sections produce an additional cell that will add a new cell to the list. My problem is that when I invoke edit mode, the UISwitch glitches! and decides to jump around, VERY SIMPLE code, just have NO IDEA why the UISwitch is jumping to different cells in DIFFERENT SECTIONS when it should NOT!

static NSInteger kCustomTextTag = 1;
static NSInteger kServiceTag = 3;
static NSInteger kConnectTag = 4;
static NSInteger kVibrateTag = 1;

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{    
    Profile_ManagerAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) 
    {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
        cell.hidesAccessoryWhenEditing = YES;
    }

    UISwitch *swService = nil;
    swService = [[[UISwitch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(195, 8, 160, 27)] autorelease];
    [swService addTarget:self action:@selector(serviceSwAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    swService.tag = kServiceTag;

    UISwitch *swConnect = nil;
    swConnect = [[[UISwitch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(195, 8, 160, 27)] autorelease];
    [swConnect addTarget:self action:@selector(connectSwAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    swConnect.tag = kConnectTag;

    UISwitch *swVibrate = nil;
    swVibrate = [[[UISwitch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(195, 8, 160, 27)] autorelease];
    [swVibrate addTarget:self action:@selector(vibrateSwAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    swVibrate.tag = kVibrateTag;

    if(indexPath.section == 0)
    {
        //CGRectMake Method (x, y, width, height)
        custProfileNameLabel = [[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 11, 290, 21)] autorelease];
        custProfileNameLabel.tag = kCustomTextTag;
        custProfileNameLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
        [cell.contentView addSubview:custProfileNameLabel];
        custProfileNameLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        custProfileNameLabel.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
        custProfileNameLabel.placeholder = @"Custom Profile Name";
        custProfileNameLabel.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;
        custProfileNameLabel.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;

        //UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
        cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
        CustomProfile *cProf = [CustomProfile alloc];
        cell.textLabel.text = [cProf tName];
    }

    if(indexPath.section == 1)
    {
        if(indexPath.row == ([[appDelegate serviceArray] count]) && self.editing){
            cell.textLabel.text = @"Add a Service";
            cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
            cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
            swService.hidden = YES;

Well, the reason this glitch was made possible is because the Controls were created when creating the cell, so it just continued to create additional controls when view appeared.

If you are receiving this glitch too, make sure you create the controls at ViewDidLoad, or call a void, just dont create the controls in the cellForRowAtIndexPath:
