Get cell value in tableView - ios

Question

I want to get cell value in tableView by using:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *selectedCell=[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSLog(#"selected cell: %#", selectedCell);
}
It should be a String but this is what i get in the NSLog:
selected cell: <RewardCategoriesTableViewCell: 0x7ae11290; baseClass = UITableViewCell; frame = (0 92.01; 320 44); autoresize = W; layer = <CALayer: 0x7ae11450>>
And this is my Data Source of Array:
NSArray* data= [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:category1, category2, category3, category4, category5, category6, category7, nil];
return data;
This is cellForRowAtIndexPath:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
RewardCategoriesTableViewCell *cell = (RewardCategoriesTableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell"];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
if(indexPath.section >= [categories count]){
return nil;
}
Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSString *identifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Cell%ld", indexPath.section];
NSLog(#"%#" , identifier);
cell.lblCategory.text = category.CategoryName;
NSLog(#"cell value: %#", cell.lblCategory.text);
return cell;
}
Thanks for helps.

In your way, you get the UITableviewCell or subclass
object,so what you log is right.
If you want to get cell value,you should check your dataSource,in
MVC pattern that is your Model.
For example: you have a array named dataArray as Model,Then you get
value dataArray[indexPath.row]
I am not sure why you set text of cell based on the indexPath.section,so ,I post example code based on the code you post
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSString * cellText = category.CategoryName;
}
BTY,I think the right way is let text of cell based on the row
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
RewardCategoriesTableViewCell *cell = (RewardCategoriesTableViewCell*) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell"];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
if(indexPath.row>= [categories count]){
return nil;
}
Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *identifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Cell%ld", indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"%#" , identifier);
cell.lblCategory.text = category.CategoryName;
NSLog(#"cell value: %#", cell.lblCategory.text);
return cell;
}
Then in:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString * cellText = category.CategoryName;
}
