Question

So, I have a custom cell and I need to draw all images as CGImage in tableView, but I can’t get it working. I have created a test project and tested the code with simple views. Everything worked perfect, and when I copypasted the same code to my custom cell it stopped working. Here is the code:

-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CGRect contentRect = self.contentView.bounds;
    CGFloat boundsX = contentRect.origin.x;

    UIImage *karmaImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"karma.png"];
    [self drawImage:karmaImage withRect:CGRectMake(boundsX + 255, 16, 14, 14)];
}
-(void)drawImage:(UIImage *)image withRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageRetain(image.CGImage);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, rect.size.height);
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
    CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, imageRef);
}

Any solutions?

Apple recommends to add your custom view to the UITableViewCell’s contentView instead of changing UITableViewCell itself. See TimeZoneCell for an example.
