adding images to UItableView

Question

Is it possible to add images to a table view? To the left side? And if so, what size should it be?

Answer 1

A custom UITableViewCell is not required to simply add an image to the left side of the cell. Simply configure the imageView property of the UITableView cell in your tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: delegate method like so:

- (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.textLabel.text = @"I'm a UITableViewCell!";    cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"MyReallyCoolImage.png"];     return cell; } 

Unless you provide a tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: method in your UITableViewDelegate, the default height of a UITableViewCell is 44 points, which is 44 pixels on a non-retina display and 88 pixels on a retina display.

Yes, it is possible. You can take help from cocoawithlove and here. These tutorials will give you an idea how to give images to UITableView. Finally, as asked before on SO, UITableViewCell Set Selected Image.
