Question

Why tableview data are overlapping? i have attached my code.

If i explain my code again then

1. xml data are in records array which are displaying in tableview.
2. First time when program execute then data are in right place but when i start scroll vertically the data start to display in various cell.suppose first cell shows in last cell,second cell data shows in first cell…..so on.

NOTE THAT: For overlapping problem i also used switch and viewwithtag but still now tableview data start to display in wrong cell when i start scrolling on UITableview.

// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
   // cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:15.0];

Answer 1

I think your main problem is that you have seven different “types” of cell but only one “reuse identifier.” This means that an order cell could be later reused as a delete order cell. However, when reused, the cell won’t necessarily have all the elements it needs to display fully.

For example, email cell has a tag of 1001 and delete cell has a tag of 110, but not vice-versa.
