How can i use Table Cell as UIImageView not using Custum Cell?

Question

In My Application I have to show Image after every 3 Rows.My Image is static and it should come after every 3 rows.I don't want to take UIImageView and add it to cell but if there any way to show my image using directly Cell's property.My Image size is 320X87 pixels.

Answer 1

I don't believe this is possible, as your image is far too large for a standard UITableViewCell. You will need to make a custom cell, and then load the appropriate cell in the cellForRowAtIndex method. Don't forget to set the appropriate cellIdentifiers in your code/IB.

Maybe you could possibly add a UIImageView as a subview of a standard cell's contentView, but this doesn't sound like the best solution to me.

You would have to create a custom cell for this specific cell, but it will be instanciated once, thanks to reusableCells. For instance :

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{    
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"TableCell";
    static NSString *ImageIdentifier = @"ImageCell";
    UITableViewCell *cell;

    if (!(indexPath.row % 3))
    {
        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:ImageIdentifier];
        if (cell == nil)
        {
            cell = [[[MyCustomCell alloc] initWithDelegate:self reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)ImageIdentifier] autorelease];
        }        
    }
    else
    {
        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:ImageIdentifier];
        if (cell == nil)
        {
            cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithDelegate:self reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)ImageIdentifier] autorelease];
        }   

        // customization of your rows here (title, ...)
    }

    return cell;
}

Just make a cell of sufficient height with the appropriate delegate method, then add your image view as a subview to the cell's contentView property.
