copied!<p>Personally I think that both suggested tutorials have a big flaw when it comes to <code>reuseIdentifier</code>. If you forget to assign it in interface builder or misspell it, you will load the nib each and every time <code>cellForRowAtIndexPath</code> gets called.</p> <p>Jeff LaMarche writes about this and how to fix it in this <a href="http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.de/2010/04/table-view-cells-redux.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog post</a>. Apart from <code>reuseIdentifier</code> he uses the same approach as in the apple documentation on <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TableView_iPhone/TableViewCells/TableViewCells.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Loading Custom Table-View Cells From Nib Files</a>. </p> <p>After having read all these articles I came up with following code:</p> <p><strong>Edit: If you are targeting iOS 5.0 and higher you'll want to stick with <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/11783706/782862">Duane Fields' answer</a></strong></p> <pre><code>@interface CustomCellWithXib : UITableViewCell + (NSString *)reuseIdentifier; - (id)initWithOwner:(id)owner; @end @implementation CustomCellWithXib + (UINib*)nib { // singleton implementation to get a UINib object static dispatch_once_t pred = 0; __strong static UINib* _sharedNibObject = nil; dispatch_once(&pred, ^{ _sharedNibObject = [UINib nibWithNibName:NSStringFromClass([self class]) bundle:nil]; }); return _sharedNibObject; } - (NSString *)reuseIdentifier { return [[self class] reuseIdentifier]; } + (NSString *)reuseIdentifier { // return any identifier you like, in this case the class name return NSStringFromClass([self class]); } - (id)initWithOwner:(id)owner { return [[[[self class] nib] instantiateWithOwner:owner options:nil] objectAtIndex:0]; } @end </code></pre> <p>UINib (available in iOS 4.0 and later) is used here as a singleton, because although the <code>reuseIdentifier</code> is used, the cell still gets re-initialized about 10 times or so. Now <code>cellForRowAtIndexPath</code> looks like this:</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { CustomCellWithXib *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:[CustomCellWithXib reuseIdentifier]]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[CustomCellWithXib alloc] initWithOwner:self]; } // do additional cell configuration return cell; } </code></pre>
