UITable Cell info only showing when row is selected - ios

Question

I'm getting some really odd behaviour with a UITableView i'm working on. I have the following code, which loads data from an array into a UITableView. The code seems to work... but the labels only show values when i click on each row. I'm stumped as to why this is happening as i'm pretty sure i didnt have this issue before... but i could be wrong. My code:
#interface TableViewController ()
#end
#implementation TableViewController
//#synthesize cRef;
-(void) getData:(NSData *) data {
NSError *error;
json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
-(void) start {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: URL];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
[self getData:data];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self start];
// Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
// self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
// self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [json count];;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"CellIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
NSDictionary *info = [json objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"CountryName"];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"id"];
return cell;
}
Any help appreciated.

As #ktpatel said try changing font color
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"CellIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (!cell){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
NSDictionary *info = [json objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"CountryName"];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"id"];
// set font color
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
if ([cell isSelected]) {
// make changes for selected state
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
return cell;
}
Also I don't see your code for didSelectRowAtIndexPath, I think you must be doing this in it to see the selected state of UITableViewCell
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
