Hi all, i would to have alternate 2 colors of rows, like the first black, the second white, the third black, etc, etc...

my approach is like a basic exercise of programming to calculate if a number is odd number or not:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
cell = ((MainCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]);
if (cell==nil) {

    NSArray *topLevelObjects=[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MainCell"    owner:self options:nil];

    for (id currentObject in topLevelObjects){
        if ([currentObject isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]){
            if ((indexPath.row % 2)==0) {
                [cell.contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor]];

            }else{
                [cell.contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

            }
            cell =  (MainCell *) currentObject;
            break;
        }
    }

}else {

    AsyncImageView* oldImage = (AsyncImageView*)
    [cell.contentView viewWithTag:999];
    [oldImage removeFromSuperview];
}return cell;

The problem is that when i do a rapid scroll, the background of cells become like the last 2 cell black, the first 2 cell white or something like this, but if i scroll slow works fine. I think the problem is the cache of reusableCell.

Any ideas?

TIA
