UITableViewAccessoryType Randomly Not Showing - objective-c

Question

For each cell in the TableView I basically have a Boolean variable that stores if the data is being loaded for that cell. So tapping on a cell will cause the accessory type to change to a UIActivityIndicator. The TableView loads fine, but when I pop back to the TableView one or two of the cells randomly do not have the default DisclosureIndicator... it has nothing
The code I am using is inside cellForRowAtIndexPath
NSLog([entry isLoading] ? #"Yes" : #"No");
if ([entry isLoading]) {
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityView =
[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
[activityView startAnimating];
[cell setAccessoryView:activityView];
}
else{
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
}
I have stepped through the code and the cells that do not show the DisclosureIndicator are still running the code that is setting it to a AccessoryDisclosureIndicator... I'm not sure what's going on since the cells missing the indicatory is triggering the else statement causing the setAccessoryType
Thanks!

Try this,
if ([entry isLoading]) {
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityView =
[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
[activityView startAnimating];
[cell setAccessoryView:activityView];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}
else{
[cell setAccessoryView:nil];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
}
As per documentation,
accessoryView
If the value of this property is not nil, the UITableViewCell class
uses the given view for the accessory view in the table view’s normal
(default) state; it ignores the value of the accessoryType property.
The provided accessory view can be a framework-provided control or
label or a custom view. The accessory view appears in the right side
of the cell.
So you need to set accessoryView to nil show the accessoryType or else it will ignore it.
