Question

I have a view controller that gets presented modally and changes some data that effects the data in a uitableview in the modal’s parent view controller (a table view).

I call the tableview’s reloadData method when the parent view reappears. I have confirmed that this code gets hit with a break point. My trouble is, reloadData isn’t working. Here’s the kicker – if I don’t use reuseIdentifiers in the – (UITableViewCell *)cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method, the data reloads correctly. It looks like the reuseIdentifier is to blame.

I really want to continue to use the reuseIdentifier for my cells – how do I make this work?

Answer 1

The problem is unlikely to do with the reuse identifier. Please post your code for your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method.
