String becomes blank when didSelectRowAtIndexPath called - ios

Question

I have a custom cell with a property that is an NSString called videoURl. My implementation code looks like this
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"RemedyYouTubeTableViewCell";
RemedyYouTubeTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"RemedyYouTubeTableViewCell" owner:nil options:nil];
for(id obj in topLevelObjects) {
if([obj isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
cell = obj;
break;
}
}
}
// Configure the cell...
cell.videoThumbnail.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[thumbNailArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
NSString *stringWithoutPng = [[thumbNailArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#".png" withString:#""];
cell.titleLabel.text = stringWithoutPng;
cell.dateUploadLabel.text = [videoUploadDateArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.durationLabel.text = [videoLengthArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.viewsLabel.text = [videoViewsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.videoURL = [videoURLArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(cell.videoURL);
return cell;
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
RemedyYouTubeTableViewCell *cell = (RemedyYouTubeTableViewCell *)[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *videoURL = cell.videoURL;
NSLog(videoURL);
NSLog(#"^videourl");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:videoURL]];
}
When it logs the urls at the top everything is fine but when it is called at the bottom nothing prints. What am i doing wrong? Or is there a better way to do it? Thanks!

Answer 1

please replace your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method with this given code...
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
videoURL = [videoURLArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(videoURL);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:videoURL]];
}
