Design a UIView as the tableview cell with separate xib file

Question

I need to design a UIView as the tableview cell with separate xib file. I also tried it with creating a separate xib and design its view matches to tableview cell type. But it is failed, there is any programming guide to create a custom, reusable, tableview cell creation?

After creating custom tableview cell how can we add it to the table view?

Answer 1

1. You need to subclass UITableViewCell then you've to add a new 'View' file (refer to image below)

2. Delete the UIView file in .xib and add Table View Cell from object library.

3.Set the custom class for your cell

CustomCell *cell = (CustomCell*)[tableView    dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    // Load the top-level objects from the custom cell XIB.
    NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomCell" owner:self options:nil];
    // Grab a pointer to the first object (presumably the custom cell, as that's all the XIB should contain).
    cell = [topLevelObjects objectAtIndex:0];
}
