Question

I have a storyboard with a UIView and a UITableView in it. The UITableView has custom cells (UITableViewCell with xib).
When I run the app, only the first row of the table is shown, the rest of the table is hidden.
The rows are not seen on the screen, but they respond to user interaction as expected.

The rest of the cells are revealed only after the table is scrolled upwards.

What could be the problem?

Here is the code for UIView with the table:

@implementation EldersTableViewController
@synthesize items;
@synthesize tableView;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    EldersDataHendler *edh = [[EldersDataHendler alloc]init];
    NSMutableArray *itemsFromPList = [edh dataForTableFrom:[NSDictionary         dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"eldersData"     ofType:@"plist"]]];
    self.items = itemsFromPList;
    [edh release];
    edh=nil;

}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [super viewDidUnload];
}


- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || 
            interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}


- (IBAction)didPressBackButton:(UIButton *)sender {
    [self.view removeFromSuperview];
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{   
    return [self.items  count];
}
-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
    return 1;
}

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

    SEObject *cellInfo = [self.items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];    
    EldersItemCell* cell = (EldersItemCell*)[tableView     dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"EldersItemCell"];
    if (cell == nil) {

        NSArray* topObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"EldersItemCell" owner:self options:nil];

        for (id obj in topObjects){
            if ([obj isKindOfClass:[EldersItemCell class]]){
                cell = (EldersItemCell*)obj;
                break;
            }
        }


    }
    [cell setObject:cellInfo];
    return cell;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    SEObject *cellInfo = [self.items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];  
    if (!eldersDetailsViewController){
        eldersDetailsViewController = [[self.storyboard     instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"elderDetailsVC"] retain];
    }
    eldersDetailsViewController.seObject = cellInfo;
    [self.view addSubview:eldersDetailsViewController.view];
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [eldersDetailsViewController release];
    [tableView release];

    [super dealloc];
}
@end

Thanks in advance,

Problem solved! Thanks a lot dear arooaroo. There was something with the custom cell with the xib. So I’ve created a custom Table View Cell programmatically. Here is a nice tutorial
