UITableViewCells don't take custom value - ios

Question

I'm trying to make an item feed with a UITableView and some JSON objects,
but when I try filling an instance of my custom cell with the JSON data, the UILabels won't change their text.
The JSON has been tested and works. It goes through the loop and creates the right amount of rows. But the text isn't changing to the text from the JSON file.
Here's my code:
feed.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL *FeedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.personeelsapp.jordivanderhek.com/company/bijcasper/nieuws.json"];
NSData *jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:FeedURL];
NSError *error = nil;
NSDictionary *dataDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:0 error:&error];
NSLog(#"%#", dataDictionary);
self.posts = [NSMutableArray array];
PostsArray = [dataDictionary objectForKey:#"feed"];
for (NSDictionary *bpdDictionary in PostsArray) {
// make new post object
FeedPosts *posts = [FeedPosts InitPost];
NSLog(#"feed check %#" ,[bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"name"]);
posts.postTitle = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"name"];
posts.postProfilepic = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"profilePic"];
posts.postDatum = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"timeStamp"];
posts.postMessage = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"status"];
posts.postImage = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"image"];
[self.posts addObject:posts];
}
}
[…]
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection: (NSInteger)section {
return [self.posts count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *Cellindentifier = #"PostCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:Cellindentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...
FeedPosts *posts = [self.posts objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.postTitle.text = #"test title";
cell.postDatum.text = posts.postDatum.text;
cell.postMessage.text = posts.postMessage.text;
return cell;
}
}
FeedPosts.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *postTitle;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *postMessage;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *postImage;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *postProfilepic;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *postDatum;
// designated init
+ (id) InitPost;
FeedPosts.m
+ (id) InitPost {
// init new feed item
return [[self alloc]init];
}
have been getting the following error:
-[__NSCFString text]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You have declared several UILabels in FeedPosts.
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *postTitle;
In the following code, you assign NSString (text) to the label object:
FeedPosts *posts = [FeedPosts InitPost];
NSLog(#"feed check %#" ,[bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"name"]);
posts.postTitle = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"name"];
Instead, you should set the text for those labels:
posts.postTitle.text = [bpdDictionary objectForKey:#"name"];
Same goes for postMessage and postDatum.
