How to show 2 customized cells in the UITableView

Question

I have to show 2 different cells in a table. I have tried it by setting a prototype to a table. but it is still showing Prototype table cells must have reuse identifiers warning.

could someone please guide me to resolve this warning.

Followed this link: UITableview with more than One Custom Cells with Swift

instead of two different cell you can use one cell with two different view. — Saurabh Prajapati, Sep 15 '16 at 16:17
@SaurabhPrajapati Yeah may be we can do that. But I am trying to know the mistake that I did using prototypes. — Dee, Sep 15 '16 at 16:29

In storyboard you have to define the Identifier for the cells like the below image

Then in cellForRowAtIndexPath you have to use the specific identifier for specific cell like this

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    if indexPath.row == 0 {
        let cell: UITableViewCell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: "Identifier1")
        //set the data here
        return cell
    }
    else if indexPath.row == 1 {
        let cell: UITableViewCell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: "Identifier2")
        //set the data here
        return cell
    }
}

I did that but I am unable to load the cell. Don't know where am I dng it wrong — Dee, Sep 15 '16 at 18:21
@Dee Add breakpoints and check whether you are getting the object of cell or not. — Rajat, Sep 15 '16 at 18:23

You must set the Reuse Identifier for both prototype cells, and they must be different. Then in your cellForItemAtIndexPath method, you must dequeue the cells using the corresponding Reuse Identifier based on the indexPath given.

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableView {

    switch indexPath.section {
    case 0:
        return tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomCell1", forIndexPath: indexPath)
    case 1:
        return tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomCell2", forIndexPath: indexPath)
    break:
        return UITableViewCell()
    }
}
