I'm trying to add an additional cell for custom content as the last cell in a tableView, without altering the dictionary that creates the other content of the table. I think the place to add it is in cellForRowAtIndexPath rather than adding one to the numberOfRowsInSection, which just crashes if I do.

I get a cellCount from the dictionary that creates the data for the table, then in cellForRowAtIndexPath, I have:

if (indexPath.row == cellCount) {
        ... stuff goes here
            return cell;
                        } 

of course, this never gets called. If I do if (indexPath.row == cellCount -1) it overwrites the last cell with content.

I can get this to work if I add a blank entry into the xml from which I am populating the dictionary, but that's ugly.

Example code would be neat!
