I have read a few posts about what I need but I can’t manage to do this.
I want a table that could be set up like an image, it will have a regular background image and from half the screen to the bottom i want the table view to have 6 different cells

How can I do this. I have done this with buttons and my app is working with no problems, but I wanna do this with table also
Spire you can easily add six buttons in one table row or three buttons in one row (two rows then). You can easily assign tag number (based on indexPath.row.. like indexPath.row + 1, indexPath.row + 2 …etc). and in there action method you can use these tag numbers…
