iOS UiTableViewCell selective cells to show accessoryView

Question

My problem is similar as this:

But I want to show accessoryView with DetailDisclosureButton only for cells that have details.

I have written some codes, but I don´t know in which method to put it.

if (totalcount == 0 && totalcount2 == 0)
{
    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}

else 
{
    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
}

totalcount and totalcount2 is count of two mutable arrays that tell me whether cells have details or not.

Please ask me if my question is not clear, thank you.

Answer 1

- (UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString* identifierString;

    if(totalCount == 0 && totalCount2 == 0) {
        identifierString = @"0";
    } else {
        identifierString = @"1";
    }

    UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifierString];

    if(cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:YOUR_CELL_STYLE 
            reuseIdentifier:identifierString] autorelease];

        if ([identifierString intValue] == 0) {
            cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
        } else {
            cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
        }

        //do whatever setup you need to do
    }

    return cell;
}

Though to me, it seems that if totalCount and totalCount2 both equal 0, then all of the cells are going to have the same accessory type. Is that what you what? If not, you might want to rethink your logic.

Answer 2

You should do that in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:, while you're setting up your UITableViewCell

Answer 3

add this to tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: after the cell has been dequeued or initialised
