Question

Is it possible to pull in an image for every say 5th row of a tableview from a web server, without upsetting the normal running of the cellforrowatindexpath method? Thanks

Sample code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    // Here is the magic.
    if (!indexPath.row % 5 == 0)
    {
        // Do your usual code
    }
    else
    {
        // Do alternate code (loading background image)
    }
    return cell;
}
