**Use this code for reuse cells in table view**

```
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:                                                        (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {     static NSString  *simpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableItem";     UITableViewCell  *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:                                                                                  simpleTableIdentifier];     if (cell == nil) {          cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault                                                                      reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];         cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc] init];         UILabel  *fromLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 5, 250,20)];         cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];         UIButton *button_chaeckbox = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];         button_chaeckbox.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];         button_chaeckbox.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 15, 15);         [button_chaeckbox addTarget:self  action:@selector(checkboxAction:)         forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];         [cell addSubview:button_chaeckbox];         button_chaeckbox.tag=1001;     }     if([checkedArray containsObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld",(long)                                                                                    indexPath.row]]){         [button_chaeckbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage  imageNamed:@"checked_checkbox.png"]                                                                                                               forState:UIControlStateNormal];     } else {     [button_chaeckbox setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"empty_box_b.png"]                                                                              forState:UIControlStateNormal];     }}
```
