Question

I’m using a custom UITableViewCell. They load up great, but when they get reused instead of replacing the text in the labels, they are some how writing over the top of them. Any ideas how to stop this behaviour?

I assume I’m not reseting the view correctly before it gets reused. I’m currently empty the labels so they have just a blank @”” string. But I still get the old text plus the new (very messy).

I’m certain there’s an obvious solution to this (presently i just don’t reuse the cell, but this isn’t best practice and is slow on old devices), so if someone can help I’d be very grateful.

Thanks

As requested here is the method for amending the cell

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
TransactionCellView *cell = (TransactionCellView *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

if(cell == nil) {
    [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"TransactionCellView" owner:self options:nil];
    cell = tblCell;
}

[cell resetCell]; // clears the labels
[cell setData:[dataArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]]; // replaces the data and updates the labels

return cell;

}

Solved this issue!!! Amazingly simple when you know what the problem is/was.

I was using IB and “Clear Graphics Context” was not selected on my UILabels. So that is why the next text was just overlaying the old.

THanks guys for trying to help.
