so how to implement the tableviewcell to be filled by the list of devices, description and date that i retrieved from the server using RestKit.

Answer 1

You need to create custom UITableViewCell
Loop through data array in your UITableViewController
In - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath you must alloc/init your class
But as #FaddishWorm say's it will take some time

Answer 2

create your custom cell with xib.
#interface YourCustomCell : UITableViewCell
#property(nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel* deviceNameLbl;
#property(nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel* desciptionLbl;
#property(nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel* dateLbl;
#end
#implementation
#synthesize deviceNameLbl ,.......
......
then in your view controller where you want to display this cell.
-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {
static NSString* cellIdentifier = #"YourCustomCell";
YourCustomCell *cell = (YourCustomCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellType];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:cellIdentifier owner:nil options:nil];
cell = (YourCustomCell*)[nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
//yourDataArray is a array contains NSDictionary
cell.deviceNameLbl = [[yourDataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey#"deviceName"];
cell.desciptionLbl = [[yourDataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey#"description"];
cell.dateLbl = [[yourDataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey#"date"];
return cell;
}

Answer 3

you set your cell height
tableView.rowHeight=height_you_want;
or
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return your_row_height;
}
Inside cellForRowAtIndexPath: You can created three UILabel, modify (background text font color size etc) and add them as subview to the cell or cell.contentView
UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(<#CGFloat x#>, <#CGFloat y#>, <#CGFloat width#>, <#CGFloat height#>)];
lbl.text=#"Your text";
lbl.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[cell addSubview:lbl];
//use this accessory type
cell.accessoryType=UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;

Answer 4

This is easy, but takes a bit of time. You need to get your backend data into arrays (or something similar) - inside a class that extends UITableViewController, then hook up your UILabels as outlets, and in the tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath function, you can pull assign the data to a cell at a particular index.
cell.deviceDescription.text = [myDataArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row];
