Objective C: How to implement ABTableViewCell? - objective-c

Question

I am currently facing serious scrolling performance issues with my UITableView. I have the following subviews in my custom cell
1 X UIImageView
2 X UILabel
3 X UIButtons
I read on the net that having multiple subviews in a custom cell will have serious implications to scrolling performance. I found ABTableViewCell but am not sure how to go about porting my current code over to it.
Snippet of my current code
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString* PlaceholderCellIdentifier = #"PlaceholderCell";
int row = [indexPath row];
SomeClass *thisClass = [self.someClassArray objectAtIndex:row];
CustomCell* cell = (CustomCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:PlaceholderCellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[[CustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:PlaceholderCellIdentifier] autorelease];
//Set Avatar imageview
UIImageView *avatarView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, CELL_SPACING,CELL_AVATAR_WIDTH, CELL_AVATAR_HEIGHT)];
avatarView.tag = 1;
//Set text Label
UILabel *textLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:13.0];
[textLabel setLineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
textLabel.tag = 2;
//Add button1
UICustomButton *button = [[UICustomButton alloc]init];
button.tag = 3;
[self.contentView addSubview:avatarView];
[self.contentView addSubview:textlabel];
[self.contentView addSubview:button];
}
//Set Avatar imageview
UIImageView *thisAvatarView = (UIImageView *)[self.contentView viewWithTag:1];
thisAvatarView.image = self.dataForCell.user.avatar;
//Set data to text Label
NSString *text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.dataForCell.text];
CGFloat answerLabelHeight = [CustomCell getHeightOfLabel:self.dataForCell ofType:#"XXX"];
UILabel *thisTextLabel = (UILabel*)[self.contentView viewWithTag:2];
[thisTextLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(CELL_TEXT_LEFT_MARGIN, CELL_SPACING+CELL_USERNAMELABEL_HEIGHT+questionLabelheight,CELL_CONTENT_WIDTH - CELL_TEXT_LEFT_MARGIN*1.5, answerLabelHeight)];
thisTextLabel.text = someData;
//Set data to button
UICustomButton *thisButton = (UICustomButton *)[self.contentView viewWithTag:3];
[thisButton setButtonWithAnswer:self.dataForCell buttonType:#"like" navcon:self.navcon andFrame:CGRectMake(CELL_TEXT_LEFT_MARGIN, totalCommentLabelHeight + CELL_SPACING*4, 45, CELL_BUTTON_HEIGHT)];
thisLikeButton.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"xxxx.png"];
}
Sorry for the long code, but can anyone guide me along on how I can start to use ABTableViewCell for this implementation?
