Issue With setting tag for Button UITableView - objective-c

Question

I have two buttons inside sectioned tableview cell thumbs up and thumbs down. Initially image of both button is not selected. When I select thumbs up button its image become thumbs up selected and other one become thumbsdown not selected and vice versa.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
NSLog(#"mod:numberOfSectionsInTableView");
NSLog(#"[preferences count]=%d",[preferences count]);
return [preferences count];
}
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.choices count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexpath
{
NSLog(#"cellForRowAtIndexPath: DISPLAY TEST");
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
NSLog(#"Text is: %#", [choices objectAtIndex:indexpath.row]);
NSLog(#"CHOICE AT INDEX PATH IS: %#",[choices objectAtIndex:indexpath.row %[choices count]]);
cell.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
// Thumbs up button.
//UIButton *thumbsUp = [[UIButton alloc]init];
thumbsUp = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[thumbsUp setTag:(indexpath.row+(indexpath.section * 50))];
[thumbsUp addTarget:self action:#selector(thumbUp_ButtonClicked:event:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[thumbsUp setTitle:#"" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
thumbsUp.frame = CGRectMake(150.0, 20, 20, 15);
[thumbsUp setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"thumbsup_not_selected.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//NSLog(#"------------------>TAG TEST : %d",(indexpath.row+(indexpath.section * 50)));
[cell.contentView addSubview:thumbsUp];
// Thumbs down button
thumbsDown = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[thumbsDown addTarget:self action:#selector(thumbDown_ButtonClicked:event:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[thumbsDown setTitle:#"" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
thumbsDown.frame = CGRectMake(200, 20, 20, 15);
[thumbsDown setTag:indexpath.row+120];
[cell.contentView addSubview:thumbsDown];
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
[thumbsDown setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"thumbsdown_not_selected.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
NSLog(#"------------> TAG TEST %d",thumbsUp.tag);
cell.text = [choices objectAtIndex:(indexpath.row % [choices count])];
NSLog(#"HELLO FOR TESTING");
return cell;
}
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSString *sectionTitle = [self tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];
if (sectionTitle == nil) {
return nil;
}
// Create label with section title
UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] init] autorelease];
label.frame = CGRectMake(15, 10, 300, 25);
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
label.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16];
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
label.text = sectionTitle;
// Create header view and add label as a subview
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12, 0, 300, 60)];
[view autorelease];
[view addSubview:label];
//[view addSubview:segmentedControl];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
return view;
}
//Thumbs Up Button Action
- (IBAction)thumbUp_ButtonClicked:(id)sender event:(id)event
{
NSLog(#"Thumbs Up Check!");
UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *) [[button superview] superview];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [myTable indexPathForCell:cell];
NSLog(#"indexpath =%d",indexPath.row);
//[button setTag:indexPath.row+(indexPath.section * 50)];
int cTag = [sender tag];
NSLog(#"------>TAG : %d", cTag);
NSLog(#"------> Calculated TAG %d",indexPath.row+(indexPath.section * 50));
if(cTag == (indexPath.row+(indexPath.section * 50)))
{
NSLog(#"BUTTON COUNT:");
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"thumbsup_selected.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
NSInteger section = indexPath.section;
NSInteger row = indexPath.row;
//int row = button.tag;
NSLog(#"SECTION IS:%d",section);
NSLog(#"ROW IS: %d",row);
NSArray *array = cell.contentView.subviews;
NSLog(#"NUMBER OF OBJECTS: %d",[array count]);
UIButton *test = (UIButton *)[array objectAtIndex:2];
[test setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"thumbsdown_not_selected.png"]forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
Due to issue with tag of button while I change image of one button several buttons are changing. If any one can please find a solution it will be helpful.... tag is setting for buttons in sections which we can view.

Answer 1

The reason is the bad use of the recycling/reuse mechanism (as with 75% of questions about UITableView…)
Go read the Table View Programming Guide in Apple's doc (and search SO and the web for any question related to tableview and the reuse mechanism)

Answer 2

Corrected the issue by creating buttons outside and inside if(cell == nil). Also created a mutable dictionary to keep the current state of the button.....
