Idea of this iPhone tutorial:
In my last iPhone tutorial on table, I explain how you can easily design table using UITableViewCell. In this tutorial, I will explain how you can add images and labels to your UITableView. So in this tutorial, i will add few lines in UITableViewCell class and add images to cell xib file.
Final output of this tutorial will look like this. You can watch the video tutorial at the end.

iphone programming tutorial steps to follow (10 Steps to add pictures):
Follow these steps to achieve the output like above:
Step 1:Open the last tutorial code (You can grab this code from here) and add following 6 images to your project resources folder by dragging in to xcode.

Please make sure, copy check box is selected
Step 2: Now open TableCellView.h file and add one Label & UIImageView
1.IBOutlet UIImageView *productImg;2.IBOutlet UILabel *descriptionText;Also Add these two methods definition in TableCellView.h, for setting the values for label and Image.
1.- (void)setDescpText:(NSString *)_text;2.- (void)setProductImage:(NSString *)_text;Step 3: Add these methods body in TableCellView.h file
1.- (void)setDescpText:(NSString *)_text;{2.descriptionText.text = _text;3.}4.5.- (void)setProductImage:(NSString *)_text;{6.productImg.image = [UIImage imageNamed:_text];7.}Step 4: Add two NSArray’s in SimpleTableViewController.h
1.NSArray *imagesList;2.NSArray *descpList;Step 5: In SimpleTableViewController.m file, move to viewDidLoad method and overwrite the arryData with these lines of code:
1.arryData = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"iPhone",@"iPod",@"MacBook",@"MacBook Pro",@"Mac Mini"@"iPhone 3G S",nil];2.imagesList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"1.jpg",@"2.jpg",@"3.jpg",@"4.jpg",@"5.jpg",@"6.jpg",nil];3.descpList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Price 500$",@"Price 50$",@"Price 1,000$",@"Price 1,200$",@"Price 800$",@"Price 700$",nil];Step 6: In cellForRowAtIndexPath method, add these two lines before return statement
1.[cell setProductImage:[imagesList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];2.[cell setDescpText:[descpList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];Step 7: Now open TableCellView.xib file in Interface Builder. Select “Table Cell View” and change its height to 65.

Step 8: Add UILabel and UIImageView to the cell design like this

map label from interface builder to your class
map label from interface builder to your class
Step 10: Last step, open SimpleTableViewController.xib file and select Table. Press cmd + 3 and change the height of row to 70.
