Custom UITableViewCell not updating properly - ios

Question

So I'm following a tutorial and I'm trying to figure out how to show custom Cells -
I've defined a class that is in charge of each cell-
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface SearchResultCell : UITableViewCell
#property(copy,nonatomic)NSString *name;
#property(copy,nonatomic)NSString *colour;
#end
The .m file -
#implementation SearchResultCell{
UILabel *_nameValue;
UILabel *_colourValue;
}
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
CGRect nameLabelRect = CGRectMake(0,5,70,15);
UILabel *nameLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:nameLabelRect];
nameLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
nameLabel.text = #"Name:";
nameLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
[self.contentView addSubview: nameLabel];
//so this is how I would add my rating view
CGRect colourLabelRect = CGRectMake(0, 26,70, 15);
UILabel *colourLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: colourLabelRect];
colourLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
colourLabel.text = #"Colour:";
colourLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
[self.contentView addSubview: colourLabel];
CGRect nameValueRect = CGRectMake(80,5,200,15);
_nameValue = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:nameValueRect];
CGRect colourValueRect = CGRectMake(80,25,200,15);
_colourValue = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:colourValueRect];
[self.contentView addSubview: _colourValue];
}
return self;
}
- (void)setName:(NSString* )n {
if(![n isEqualToString:_name]){
_name = [n copy];
_nameValue.text = _name;
}
}
- (void)setColor:(NSString *)c
{
if (![c isEqualToString:_colour]) {
_colour = [c copy];
_colourValue.text = _colour;
} }
This is my table drawing method-
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
SearchResultCell *cell = [self.resultTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellTableIdentifier];
NSDictionary *rowData = self.resultsTuples[indexPath.row];
cell.name = rowData[#"Name"];
cell.colour = rowData[#"Color"];
return cell;
}
This is where I'm initializing the resultsTuples and stuff.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.resultsTuples = #[
#{#"Name" : #"MacBook", #"Color" : #"White"},
#{#"Name" : #"MacBook Pro", #"Color" : #"Silver"},
#{#"Name" : #"iMac", #"Color" : #"Silver"},
#{#"Name" : #"Mac Mini", #"Color" : #"Silver"},
#{#"Name" : #"Mac Pro", #"Color" : #"Silver"}];
[self.resultTable registerClass:[SearchResultCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier: CellTableIdentifier];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
What I see is just the two static labels (Name and Colour), rather than anything being populated from the array. I've checked that something is actually being set - and it is, so I'm not sure why this is not working.
Can anyone help?

Answer 1

You are not adding _nameValue UILabel on cell.contentView.
CGRect nameValueRect = CGRectMake(80,5,200,15);
_nameValue = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:nameValueRect];
//Add _nameValue label as well
[self.contentView addSubview: _nameValue];
CGRect colourValueRect = CGRectMake(80,25,200,15);
_colourValue = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:colourValueRect];
[self.contentView addSubview: _colourValue];

Answer 2

just you can Remove Following methods
(void)setName:(NSString* )n { if(![n isEqualToString:_name]){ _name = [n copy]; _nameValue.text = _name; } }
(void)setColor:(NSString *)c { if (![c isEqualToString:_colour]) { _colour = [c copy]; _colourValue.text = _colour; } }
and update CellforRowatindexpath
cell.nameValue.text = rowData[#"Name"];
cell.colorValue.text = rowData[#"Color"];
I am not sure but you can give it a try.
