UITableView's viewForHeaderInSection method: accessing a cell's visual properties - ios

Question

I am defining a header row for my UITableView using the viewForHeaderInSection delegate method, and I wanted to get the X coodinate from the first row to position some labels, because I'm moving about the labels in the row constantly and would like to define those coordinates in the storyboard. But it's not working: the X coordinate is always 0. Here is the attempt:
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
float x = tableView.frame.origin.x;
float y = tableView.frame.origin.y;
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, y - 22, tableView.bounds.size.width, 12)];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:0];
view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
LogCell *cell = (LogCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:0];
UILabel *dateLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(cell.label_DATE.frame.origin.x, 0, 65, 22)];
dateLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
dateLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
dateLabel.text = #"DATE";
UILabel *locationLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(cell.label_LOC.frame.origin.x, 0, 65, 22)];
locationLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
locationLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
locationLabel.text = #"LOC";
[view addSubview:dateLabel];
[view addSubview:locationLabel];
return view;
}
Is there some way to properly get a row from the UITableView to ascertain the X/Y coordinates of the cell's labels?

Answer 1

This line:
LogCell *cell = (LogCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:0];
is the same as:
LogCell *cell = (LogCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:nil];
You aren't passing in an index path:
Try this:
LogCell *cell = (LogCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:section]];
