If I have a UITableView that has 4 rows, then you should not call the cellForRowAtIndexPath method 4 times when I switch to this view? I find it called several times, for example. if there are 4 rows, this is called 8 times when I go to the UITable view, and then 12 times when I go back to the same UITableView.
I just donโt understand how this method works? I thought it needed to be called once for each row displayed (no scrolling, since the contents of the table view fit easily on my iPad screen).
I should probably point out that the UITableView is contained in the MasterViewController of the UISplitViewController on the iPad.
EDIT: The real problem I'm getting is inconsistency in how the following code applies:
if (selectedNavItem.folder.isAssignedToUser != [NSNumber numberWithInt:1]) { NSLog(@"%@", cell.textLabel.text); cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone; cell.userInteractionEnabled = NO; cell.textLabel.enabled = NO; cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Access not granted"; cell.detailTextLabel.enabled = NO; }
When I first โturn aroundโ to a certain level of my navigation stack, everything works as it should. But later, if I move back or down, I find that various lines are not processed correctly, that is, they are ultimately disabled when they should be included. This made me set a breakpoint and some registration code to try to figure out what was going on. I found that the above code was called more times than there were lines - and the value of cell.textLabel.text that I registered did not make sense - the value for the same line was registered several times - and the other lines were not registered at all .
EDIT: providing code on request:
