Display multiple custom cells in a UITableView?

Question

I am using Xcode 4.2 on SnowLeopard, and my project is using storyboards. I am trying to implement a UITableView with 2 different custom cell types, sessi

Answer 1

if you look at the if else section it shows that the first row is an "sessionCell" and all other rows are "infoCells" what i think you want to do is make the first row an sessionCell, the second row an infoCell and all of the other rows peopleCells

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [self.people count] + 2; // Added two for sessionCell & infoCell
}

//inside cellForRowAtIndexPath
if(indexPath.row == 0) {
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"sessionCell"];
} else if (indexPath.row == 1 {
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"infoCell"];
} else {
    cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"personCell"];
    Person *person = [self.people objectAtIndex:index.path.row - 2];
}

...
return cell;

Better yet, I would try to make two different sell sections, one for info and one for people

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    return 2;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return section == 0 ? 2 : self.people.count
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell = nil;
    if (indexPath.section == 0) {
        if(indexPath.row == 0) {
            cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"sessionCell"];
            // configure session cell
        } else if (indexPath.row == 1 {
            cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"infoCell"];
            // configure info cell
        }
    } else {
         cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"infoCell"];
         Person *person = [self.people objectAtIndexPath:indexPath.row];
         // configure person cell
    }

    return cell;
}
