如何使用故事板中没有可重用功能的UITableView上的xib文件使用TableViewCell

Question

I have this UITableViewCell from a .xib file

And I'm using it on a UITableViewCell inside of a storyboard with the following code:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [requestTableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"RequestAcceptTableViewCell" bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:@"RequestAcceptCellIdentifier"];
    requestTableView.estimatedRowHeight=168;
    requestTableView.rowHeight=UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
    [requestTableView reloadData];
    requestTableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
}

-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
    return 1;
}


-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{

    return [requestArray count];
}

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

    RequestAcceptTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"RequestAcceptCellIdentifier"];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[RequestAcceptTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
                                                 reuseIdentifier:@"RequestAcceptCellIdentifier"];
    }

    return cell;
}

so far this works good:

But I want this to stop reusing UITableViewCells everytime I scroll on my UITableView since I just want to have there a maximum of 5 UITableViewCells inside, I tried with:

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

    RequestAcceptTableViewCell = [[RequestAcceptTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
                                                                     reuseIdentifier:nil];
    return cell;
}

and then I get this:

My UITableView has a UITableViewCell with no format, buttons, labels... is there a way to call a UITableViewCell by it's identifier but without reusing it?? I mean, keeping it in memory...

thanks for the support

If you do not wish to reuse UITableViewCell, you have to:

• Use Static Cells instead of Dynamic Prototypes .
• Set number of rows to 5 on: storyboard -> Table View -> Table View Section -> Rows : 5.
• Remove all data source methods ( numberOfRowsInSection & cellForRowAtIndexPath ) -> IMPORTANT .
• Drag and drop IBOutlets from storyboard to your implementation file.
• Then you can configure your labels/buttons/views from their referenced IBOutlet.

Update:

If you wish to have the Dynamic Prototypes you could do this:

Remove this line: RequestAcceptTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"RequestAcceptCellIdentifier"];

Add this:

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

    RequestAcceptTableViewCell *cell = [[RequestAcceptTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil];

    return cell;
}
