Disable cell reuse for small fixed-size UITableView

Question

I have a small, fixed-size table, and I want to load UITableView entirely into memory, and never reuse cells if they scroll out of view. How do I achieve this?

I'm not using a UITableViewController; just a simple UIViewController that implements the proper protocols (UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate).

Answer 1

Set nil for reuse identifier in the line

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:nil]; 

Or just remove the line and add,

UITableViewCell *cell = nil; 

Answer 2

Just do not implement the method UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SomeID"]; and none of your cells will be reused. Each time it ask for a cell you create a new one and configure it.
