UITableViewCell to display long texts in cell.textLabel - ios

If I have a long text I have to increase the cell size to fit the text.
When I assign: cell.textLabel.text = #"my string" , if the string is long it gets truncated.
How can I display the text in two or more rows for this case? I am using UITableViewCell only and not subclassing it anywhere. Is there some code to display long texts using cell.textLabel directly? I am not talking about adding a seperate view to cell.

cell.textLabel will not allow you to line break a string into two lines. What you will have to do is customize it add your own UILabel to UITableViewCell and define its parameters.
Here's a working code that you can add to your TableView.
//define labelValue1 in your .h file
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//NSLog(#"Inside cellForRowAtIndexPath");
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
// Try to retrieve from the table view a now-unused cell with the given identifier.
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// If no cell is available, create a new one using the given identifier.
if (cell == nil)
{
// Use the default cell style.
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
labelValue1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 100)]; //adjust label size and position as needed
labelValue1.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"BradleyHandITCTT-Bold" size: 23.0];
labelValue1.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
labelValue1.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
labelValue1.numberOfLines = 2; //note: I said number of lines need to be 2
labelValue1.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
labelValue1.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
labelValue1.tag = 100;
[cell.contentView addSubview:labelValue1];
}
else
{
labelValue1 = (UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:100];
}
// Set up the cell.
NSString *str1 = [arryData3 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
labelValue1.text = str1;
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}

Multiple lines can be shown using
cell.textLabel.LineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping

This is for Swift.
cell.textLabel?.numberOfLines = 10 /// or the number you like.

Same Cells repeat after Scrolling

I am using table view using custom coding with tag method to save memory.
I was successful to show data in the view but the problem is if 10 cells are showing and then if I scroll down like for one cell then it should show 2-11 cell data but it switches to 1-10 again.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"cellID";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
UILabel *cellNAMElabl = nil;
UILabel *cellDetaillabl = nil;
UIImageView *imgView = nil;
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
cellNAMElabl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(88, 10, 150, 20)];
[cellNAMElabl setTag:1];
cellNAMElabl.text = [name5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UIFont *myFont1 = [ UIFont fontWithName: #"Arial" size: 20.0 ];
cellNAMElabl.font = myFont1;
[cell.contentView addSubview:cellNAMElabl];
cellDetaillabl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(88, 28, 150, 20)];
[cellDetaillabl setTag:2];
cellDetaillabl.text = [email5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UIFont *myFont = [ UIFont fontWithName: #"Arial" size: 13.0 ];
cellDetaillabl.font = myFont;
[cell.contentView addSubview:cellDetaillabl];
imgView=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(25, 5, 52, 50)];
[imgView setTag:3];
imgView.image = [imagepath5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell.contentView addSubview:imgView];
}
cellNAMElabl = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
cellDetaillabl = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:2];
imgView = (UIImageView*)[cell viewWithTag:3];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
return cell;
}
You are not assigning new content to subviews, if they have been already created. After the case if(cell == nil), these you have just got references.
cellNAMElabl = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
cellDetaillabl = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:2];
imgView = (UIImageView*)[cell viewWithTag:3];
Here when cell is not nil, you are just getting references to labels and imageview, but you are not setting new text and image from data source. Add following lines and remove them from the if (cell == nil) part:
cellNAMElabl.text = [name5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cellDetaillabl.text = [email5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
imgView.image = [imagepath5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell.contentView addSubview:imgView];
The way this dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier works: If iOS detects that a cell is not displayed anymore, then dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier will return that cell. If there is no unused cell, it returns nil. So what you need to do:
If dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier returns nil, then you create a new cell, and you do all the setup that is required for all cells with the same identifier. For example, add view tags like you did, set fonts, colors etc.
Then, whether you use a cell returned by dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier or one that you just created yourself, you add all the information that is used for the specific section/row that you want to display. So if row 1, row2, and so on display different text, then you set the text here. That's what you didn't do, so when a cell was reused, you didn't set the new text for it.
So the idea is that all the work that is the same for all rows is only done once when a cell is created, and only as many cells are created as is needed to display them on the screen. The work that is different from row to row is done for each row, as it is needed.
If you set a breakpoint in the if cell == nil block its probably only being hit for the first set if your reuseID is correct. Thats why its never getting a chance to set any new data into the cell.
You should not look for a nil cell, rather use a correct reuseID and a prototype cell in IB that is set to a custom UITableViewCell subclass you create.
Its also good practice to implement prepareForReuse on custom cells, where you clear any cell data e.g. label.text = nil, imageview.image = nil
This way you dont get invalid data from previously dequeued cells. It might not solve the question directly, but it would have wiped the fixed data set in your if cell == nil block to help debug.
What you want to do is..
add/setup the tableViewCell UI if the cell is nil..
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"cellID";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
UILabel *cellNAMElabl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(88, 10, 150, 20)];
cellNAMElabl.tag = 1;
cellNAMElabl.font = [UIFont fontWithName: #"Arial" size: 20.0 ];
[cell.contentView addSubview:cellNAMElabl];
UILabel *cellDetaillabl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(88, 28, 150, 20)];
cellDetaillabl.tag = 2;
cellDetaillabl.font = [UIFont fontWithName: #"Arial" size: 13.0 ];
[cell.contentView addSubview:cellDetaillabl];
UIImageView *imgView=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(25, 5, 52, 50)];
imgView.tag = 3;
[cell.contentView addSubview:imgView];
}
//and just update your data if the cell is currently exist and not nil..
//you already called the view using tag so, you dont need those:
// UILabel *cellNAMElabl = nil;
// UILabel *cellDetaillabl = nil;
// UIImageView *imgView = nil;
((UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:1]).text = [name5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; // cellNAMElabl
((UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:2]).text = [email5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; // cellDetaillabl
((UIImageView*)[cell viewWithTag:3]).image = [imagepath5 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; // imgView
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
return cell;
}
hope this have help you, happy coding cheers!

Adding UILabel in custom cell issue

I have custom cell in my UITableView and according to the string's value I want to add a UILabel in the cell.
Here is my code for cell,
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSDictionary * tmpDictn = [tableAry objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSString * typeStr = [tmpDictn objectForKey:#“DocumentType”];
NSString * cellIdentifier = #"TestCell";
TestCell *cell = (TestCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (!cell){
cell = [[TestCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
if ([typeStr isEqualToString:#“Text”]) {
UILabel * textLbl = [[UILabel alloc] init];
textLbl.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
textLbl.textColor=[UIColor lightGrayColor];
textLbl.userInteractionEnabled=NO;
textLbl.numberOfLines = 0;
textLbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#“Helvetica" size:16];
[textLbl setFrame:CGRectMake(30, 20, 250, 25)];
textLbl.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %i",[splitAry objectAtIndex:i],indexPath.section];
[cell addSubview:textLbl];
}
}
return cell;
}
My UITableView contain 5 cell(dynamic). And only first cell should have this label(this also change according to Text). This code is adding UILabel in first cell but also add UILabel at 3 and 5th cell.
I have checked that its same UILabel created 1 time and added in cell 1st, 3rd and 5th. And "Text" is only at first position in Tableary.
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSDictionary * tmpDictn = [tableAry objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSString * typeStr = [tmpDictn objectForKey:#“DocumentType”];
NSString * cellIdentifier = #"TestCell";
TestCell *cell = (TestCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (!cell){
cell = [[TestCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
UILabel *lbl = [cell viewWithTag:1];
if(lbl)
{
[lbl removeFromSuperView];
}
if ([typeStr isEqualToString:#“Text”]) {
UILabel * textLbl = [[UILabel alloc] init];
textLabel.tag = 1;
textLbl.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
textLbl.textColor=[UIColor lightGrayColor];
textLbl.userInteractionEnabled=NO;
textLbl.numberOfLines = 0;
textLbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#“Helvetica" size:16];
[textLbl setFrame:CGRectMake(30, 20, 250, 25)];
textLbl.text= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %i",[splitAry objectAtIndex:i],indexPath.section];
[cell addSubview:textLbl];
}
}
return cell;
}
Try using a different cell identifier for the cells that need a label added to them, e.g. #"TextCell". Otherwise, you are reusing cells that already have a label added even if it is not supposed to be there. Alternatively, you could remove the label (if it is there) in an 'else' condition of your if ([typeStr isEqualToString:#“Text”]) block but I think that the former is cleaner.
You are using
[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
The problem for your code is that table view is reusing your cell. So it will appear in many as your number of cells increases.
I am a bit old programmer but I think the best way is to
if (!cell)
{
cell = [[TestCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
//Add your label here.
}
if(!label)
{ //your code;
//set label text to nil if your condition not met;
}
A quick solution for you is to put an else and set text to nil;
Cheers.

How to set two array data in one cell content of custom tableview in ios?

hello I am beginner in iOS I have created custom table view and I have Two array then I want to set both array data together in simultaneously one by one cell content in table view I show image which i want..
Please refer : http://i.stack.imgur.com/WIkaf.png
NSMutableArray *SearchPatientCode;
NSMutableArray *SearchPatientName;
UITableView *table_SearchPatient;
SearchPatientCode=[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"PH230130420",#"PH230420321",#"Ph450362120", nil];
SearchPatientName=[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"Rahul Sharma",#"Amit kumar",#"anil sharma", nil];
table_SearchPatient=[[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(130,40,170,250)style:UITableViewStylePlain];
table_SearchPatient.delegate=self;
table_SearchPatient.dataSource=self;
table_SearchPatient.layer.borderWidth = 2.0;
table_SearchPatient.layer.borderColor = [UIColor grayColor].CGColor;
[self.view addSubview:table_SearchPatient];
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *MyIdentifier = #"MyIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if(tableView==table_SearchPatient)
{
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] ;
}
cell.textLabel.text =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# /n %#",[SearchPatientCode objectAtIndex:indexPath.row],[SearchPatientName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:10.0f];
// cell.detailTextLabel.text=[SearchPatientName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
return cell;
}
I am using this But this is not show as I want ...Solve this problem!!
Add New UILable with numberOfLines = 2 like bellow...
if you want to unlimited line with your content data then you can do it with set numberOfLines = 0 and set lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *MyIdentifier = #"MyIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if(tableView==table_SearchPatient)
{
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] ;
}
UILabel *lbl = [[UILabel alloc]init];
lbl.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# /n %#",[SearchPatientCode objectAtIndex:indexPath.row],[SearchPatientName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
lbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:10.0f];
[lbl setFrame:CGRectMake(20, 2, 250, 35)];// set frame which you want
[lbl setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];// set any color here
// lbl.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap; // set it if you want to height of UILable with its content (Multiple line)
lbl.numberOfLines = 2;// Add this line // Set 0 if you want to multiple line.
[cell.contentView addSubview:lbl];
}
return cell;
}
You can use detail cell.detailTextLabel.text.
Or You can create a custom cell and add the labels to the cell like this
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] ;
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"";
label_name_one = [[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 90, 20)]autorelease];
[label_name_one setText:[SearchPatientCode objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
label_name_two = [[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(92, 30, 170, 80)]autorelease];
[label_name_two setText:[SearchPatientCode objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
set the RectFrame according to your requirements.
Firstly change your cell style as UITableViewCellStyleValue2 then Use this code for multiline text in cell :
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString * cellIdentifier = #"MyIdentifier";
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue2
reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
[[cell textLabel] setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:10.0f]];
}
[[cell detailTextLabel] setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#",[SearchPatientCode objectAtIndex:indexPath.row],[SearchPatientName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]]];
cell.detailTextLabel.numberOfLines = 2;
cell.detailTextLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
return cell;
}
Hope it helps you.
Also make sure you check out the free Sensible TableView framework. Given the arrays, the framework will automatically display all the values in the table view, and will even generate detail views where applicable. Saves me tons of time.

UILabel height inside UITableViewCell

I'm trying to create a tableview where the height of the cells are dynamic.
So far I manage to set the height of the cells depending on the custom UILabel I've added inside.
With the regular cell.textLabel it works fine, but when I use my own label something goes wrong. I only see half the label, but when I scroll up and down, sometimes the label extends and shows all the text... You can see where the label should end in the image.
Image
This is the text inside the cellForRowAtIndexPath:
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell.
Car *carForCell = [cars objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UILabel *nameLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
nameLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:100];
nameLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
nameLabel.text = carForCell.directions;
[nameLabel sizeToFit];
[nameLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
return cell;
Unless you have typos in the code you posted, you don't seem to be adding the label to the cell at all. You also seem to be creating a new label every time, and then replacing the contents of your nameLabel pointer with the cell's view (which will always be nil).
Try doing something like this first and then see how it looks:
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UILabel *nameLabel;
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
nameLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
nameLabel.tag = 100;
nameLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
[nameLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
[cell.contentView addSubview:nameLabel];
}
else {
nameLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:100];
}
// Configure the cell.
Car *carForCell = [cars objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
nameLabel.text = carForCell.directions;
[nameLabel sizeToFit];
return cell;
You will also need to tell the tableView what size each cell needs to be using the tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: delegate method. That will mean getting the relevant Car object again and calculating the height using sizeWithFont:sizeWithFont:forWidth:lineBreakMode:
How are you setting the height of the cell? It should be done in - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
You should calculate and return the height of the UITableViewCell in the following method:
- (CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
Here you should do your initial calculation of how high your cell should be.
For example:
CGSize textSize = [myString sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:16] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(320, 9999)];
return textSize.height;

iOS - UITableViewCell text alignment

I've added a tableView and dragged a table view cell into it.
in the utilities panel, I changed the style to subtitle.
I've also tried changing it in code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
cell.detailTextLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
cell.textLabel.text = [myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [myArray2 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
The center alignment doesn't work!
I've tried adding a label object to the cell to have a workaround. But I don't know how to access it. even though I assigned an outlet to it, this wouldn't work:
cell.labelForCell....
What should I do?
any suggestions on how I make it work the usual way, without adding a label to the cell or something?
For the UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle text alignment cannot be changed
You will have to put a label and add your alignment to it,
To do that you could use this code
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
UILabel *myLabel;
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:Your_Frame];
//Add a tag to it in order to find it later
myLabel.tag = 111;
//Align it
myLabel.textAlignment= UITextAlignmentCenter;
[cell.contentView addSubview:myLabel];
}
myLabel = (UILabel*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:111];
//Add text to it
myLabel.text = [myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
The problem with the subtitle style is that it does a [self.textLabel sizeToFit] when it lays out. When you center in a container that is the perfect size of the contents, nothing changes.
Try this. In a subclass of UITableViewCell, set your textAlignment, and use this as your layoutSubviews code:
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
{
CGRect frame = self.textLabel.frame;
frame.size.width = CGRectGetWidth(self.frame);
frame.origin.x = 0.0;
self.textLabel.frame = frame;
}
{
CGRect frame = self.detailTextLabel.frame;
frame.size.width = CGRectGetWidth(self.frame);
frame.origin.x = 0.0;
self.detailTextLabel.frame = frame;
}
}
This makes the textLabel's frame full width, and thus allows the centering effect to be noticeable.
Note: since this overrides layoutSubviews, there is a performance cost as it will be called often.
I think the reason is that: the textLabel's width depends on the text length, if the text is too long to show all in a signal line, and you have already set the line break mode and set the number of lines to 0, you will find that the text alignment will be work.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *identifier = #"identifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
if (nil == cell)
{
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:identifier] autorelease];
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeTailTruncation;
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
}
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"You can initialize a very long string for the textLabel, or you can set the font to be a large number to make sure that the text cann't be shown in a singal line totally:%d", indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
I think adjusting the frame will work. I had style of UITableViewCellStyleValue2 but If i have a bit lengthy text in textLabel, it getting truncated at tail and textAlignment does not work here, so thought of increase the width textLabel.
-(void)layoutSubviews{
[super layoutSubviews];
if ([self.reuseIdentifier isEqualToString:#"FooterCell"]) {
CGRect aTframe = self.textLabel.frame;
aTframe.size.width += 40;
self.textLabel.frame = aTframe;
CGRect adTframe = self.detailTextLabel.frame;
adTframe.origin.x += 70;
self.detailTextLabel.frame = adTframe;
}
}
It is impossible to change frame for textLabel and detailTextLabel in UITableViewCell
right in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method.
If you don't want to subclass your cell you can implement a small hack using
performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:
with zero delay for changing geometry right after default layoutSubviews:
[self performSelector:#selector(alignText:) withObject:cell afterDelay:0.0];
See details at here
Hi please add the following instead of your code,
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
cell.detailTextLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
change to
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
cell.detailTextLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
it will work fine.
