Try this approach - Add UIImageView in storyboard and you can just hide and unhide whenever you app logic required.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
GTNewsCustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SongCell"];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[CustomCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"SongCell"];
//dont check the presence of image in this part becz it is called during creation only not on resuing
}
//check if image is present or not
NSString *boardImg = [[self.newsList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"boardnoteImage"];
if(boardImg)
{
//image is present
cell.boardNoteImage.hidden = NO;
cell.boardNoteImage.image = boardImg;
}
else
{
cell.boardNoteImage.frame = CGRectZero;//which places a zero rect means no image
cell.boardNoteImage.hidden = YES;
}
return cell;
}
