Question

I have a UITableView with a custom UITableViewCell.

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

//create the cell
MyCell *cell = (MyCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"MyIdentifier"];
cell.label.text = ..
cell.label2.text = ..
cell.label3.text = ..

Everything works fine, all my data loads properly, etc.

Now, I have a button on this View Controller that opens another view where the user can select which labels to display. So, for instance, display labels 1 and 3, but not 2…
Then, when Done is clicked, I want the tableView to be updated to reflect the new options, but since the cells were loaded with a reuseCellId, no changes are shown. How can I force the cells to recreate?

Answer 1

I solved this issue by just destroying the tableview, and recreating it every time.
