UITableViewCell not hiding UIView properly

Question

I want to hide/unhide an UIView in the UITableViewCell , but many times it unhides it for the wrong UITableViewCell . Any suggestions?

---

cellForRowAtIndexPath function

  func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("locationCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? UITableViewCell
        var viewWithImage  =  cell?.viewWithTag(22) as UIView!
        var cellHiddenGemView  =  viewWithImage?.viewWithTag(23) as UIView!                        
        var locationObject : PFObject = locationObjects[indexPath.row] as! PFObject
        var isSecret =  locationObject["isSecret"] as! Bool

        cellHiddenGemView?.hidden = true;

                if isSecret == true
                {
                        cellHiddenGemView?.hidden = false;
                       //this view is unhides for the wrong indexes also
                }        

                return cell;

            }

Answer 1

Its definitely not the best solution to use tags instead of subclassing UITableViewCell and use IBOutlets.

If you would subclass UITableViewCell you could override prepareForReuse() and reset the hidden property to true

func prepareForReuse()
{
   self.HiddenGemView?.hidden = true
}

Try defining else block too. Once this worked for me.

 if isSecret == true
 {
    cellHiddenGemView?.hidden = false;
 } 
 else
 {
    cellHiddenGemView?.hidden = true;
 }
