Click-and-Hold on a tableview cell shows another cell content

[krustaeon]

I have spent hours trying to figure this one out. Please help.

I have a table view, grouped. When the table view first load, it is ok. Then I add a new item/cell at the last row of one of the sections and the table refreshed ok. It showed all the original cells and the new one ok.

But when I clicked-and-hold on the new cell, it overlays the cell content of the first section's first row content.

Any suggestion on where to check? I have reviewed my cellForRowAtIndexPath method and I can't seem to figure out if I did anything wrong. I may need to just take a break and review it again later but if anybody can help, I would appreciate it.

Here is parts of my code. This one is the cellForRowAtIndexPath:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"MyTableViewCell";	
	UITableViewCell *myTableViewCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

	TasksAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
	NSDictionary *category = [appDelegate.categoryArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
	NSArray *contentOfCategory = [category objectForKey:@"content"];
	NSDictionary *itemDetails = [contentOfCategory objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	
	if (myTableViewCell == nil) {
        myTableViewCell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
	}	
	
	myTableViewCell.text = [itemDetails objectForKey:@"title"];
return myTableViewCell;

}

And this one is where I add a new item. The tableView may have a section that is empty so I check whether the content is nil or not.

- (void)addNewItem:(NSString *)title toSection:(NSInteger)section{
	NSMutableDictionary *category = [categoryArray objectAtIndex:section];
	NSMutableArray *contentOfCategory = [category objectForKey:@"content"];
	
	if(contentOfCategory == nil){
		contentOfCategory = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:nil];
		[category setObject:contentOfCategory forKey:@"content"];
	}

        NSInteger zero = 0;
	NSMutableDictionary *newItem = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:title,@"title",zero,@"total",nil];
	[contentOfCategory insertObject:newItem atIndex:[contentOfCategory count]];
}

I am thinking that maybe I am messing up the database structure when I add the new item? It should be an Array of Dictionary, which has two childs: a string and an Array. This child Array is an array of Dictionary that has multiple keys.

Thanks beforehand.

Finally got it working after searching through other threads on TableViewCell.

The codes I had below were simplified to avoid much confusion. Turns out the parts that I removed were the problem area. My bad. Should have just copied everything unabridged.

So what I had was a custom cell with several subviews that were initialized and had their contents set within ( cell == nil ) . The solution was to just initialize the cell there and assign a tag to the subview. Then outside of ( cell == nil ) I called back the subview and assign the content.

Phew....
