I have a custom UIView subclass Leaderboard which itself contains a tableview tblLeaderboard. The interface was created with a xib. Additionally, I have a UITableViewCell subclass LeaderboardCell which also has a xib. I'm having trouble registering the cell in the tableview.
Here's what I tried, first I registered the nib with the tableview:
-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
if (self)
{
leaderInfo = [NSMutableArray array];
tblLeaderboard.dataSource=self;
[tblLeaderboard registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:#"LeaderboardCell" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"leaderboardCell"];
}
return self;
}
Then when initializing the cell I have:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"leaderboardCell";
LeaderboardCell *cell = [tableView
dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[LeaderboardCell alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
//ADDED THIS IN CASE DEFAULT CELL WAS LOADED
cell.textLabel.text = [[leaderInfo objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name" ];
cell.name.text = [[leaderInfo objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"];
cell.score.text = [[[leaderInfo objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"score"] stringValue];
return cell;
}
The cell doesn't load the nib. It just makes a custom cell (the default cell loads the name and score properly, so I know the datasource is working fine).
I'm not sure if I'm getting in trouble here for using a UIView and not a ViewController to control my UITableView?
I don't really have alot of experiences with xibs, but in my old project I did it this way:
static NSString *leaderBoardIdentifier = #"leaderboardCell"; //cell identifier same name as identifier in xib cell's attribute inspector
LeaderboardCell *cell = (LeaderboardCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:leaderBoardIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:leaderBoardIdentifier owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
I have my cell's xib file with h/m files. In my .h I've just connected elements from xib.
initWithStyle and setSelected methods in cell class have default code in them.

I'm adding a xib into my view controller like:
MyControllerOfXib *myCOntrolXib = [[MyControllerOfXib alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(width, height)];
In this xib I have a label and a UItableView. The UIlabel is easy to add text:
myCOntrolXib.label.text = #"someText";
But how can I initialize the tableView? What need I then, Could I use
myCOntrolXib.table.delegate = self;
Without problems?
Initialize your UITableView from the initWithFrame method in your subclass.
After that you can set the delegate without problems on your mainViewController.
EDIT:
You can call "reload" data etc on your XIB UITableView as usual.
Simply do the following:
CustomView *view = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed: #"YourNibName" owner: nil options: nil] firstObject];
Then, don't forget to add the view to the main view using the addSubview method. Anyway, now you can do:
[view.customProperty doSomething];
you can use a custom table view cell to populate your table view with elements.
A custom xib would be associated with the tableViewCell and write the following code in the cellForRowAtIndexPath to initialize the cell.
(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableCell";
SimpleTableCell *cell = (SimpleTableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"SimpleTableCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
cell.nameLabel.text = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.thumbnailImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[thumbnails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
cell.prepTimeLabel.text = [prepTime objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
simpleTableCell is the name of the custom TableViewCell class.

I am new to developing. i have some experience but i'm not great at it (yet). I'm working on this tableview app which shows data. I want to show that data in a custom cell. But i don't know how to do that.
This is the code i use for my tableview:
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
HistoryTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"HistoryViewTableCell"];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"HistoryViewTableCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [topLevelObjects objectAtIndex:0];
}
NSDictionary * tempDictionary = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [tempDictionary objectForKey:#"PickupAddress"];
return cell;
}
I need to show this line of code in my custom cell.
cell.textLabel.text = [tempDictionary objectForKey:#"PickupAddress"];
I already made a class and a xib file for the custom cell
This may solve the problem:
HistoryTableViewCell *cell = (HistoryTableViewCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"HistoryViewTableCell"];
your written kind of code will not work. if you are using custom XIB than add a UILable in the xib. and than assign them tag number.
now from ViewController do the following:
write this after #implementation
enum {
CELL_TITLE = 2,
CELL_SUBTITLE_1 = 3,
};
Load the Custom XIB File in cellforrowatindexpath method.
// Get table View Cell
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"customCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [atableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray *nib;
nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:CellIdentifier owner:self options:nil];
cell = (UITableViewCell *) [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
Now Add text on Lable with the below methods;
UILabel *titleLable = (UILabel *) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:CELL_TITLE];
titleLable.text = #"This is your text";
I have a subclass of UITableViewCell with a xib that I want to use as my table view cell. I need to modify the cell's properties on a cell by cell basis. Here is my code. The NSLog reveals that the properties are changed correctly, but when I run the app, the usernameLabel stays the same as the placeholder in the xib file. I'm grateful for any help and happy holidays.
-(UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableItem";
// ActivityCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
LiveCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
// Load the top-level objects from the custom cell XIB.
NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"LiveCell" owner:self options:nil];
// Grab a pointer to the first object (presumably the custom cell, as that's all the XIB should contain).
cell = [topLevelObjects objectAtIndex:0];
}
if (dataLoaded == YES) {
cell.usernameLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
NSLog(#"Data Cell Loaded");
PFObject *liveObject = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.usernameLabel.text= liveObject[#"Name"];
NSLog(#"Name Label: %#", cell.usernameLabel.text);
return cell;
}
else {
return cell;
}
}
Consider this code:
cell.usernameLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
NSLog(#"Data Cell Loaded");
PFObject *liveObject = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.usernameLabel.text= liveObject[#"Name"];
NSLog(#"Name Label: %#", cell.usernameLabel.text);
return cell;
You made a label and set its text, but so what? You never put it into the interface of the cell. So the label comes into existence, its text is set, and it then vanishes in a puff of smoke.
If the cell already has a usernameLabel in its interface, then it is wrong to replace it with this new one that is not in the interface. If it doesn't already have a usernameLabel, then you need to put this one in the interface. Either way, this code is silly.
I have a new project where I had to drag a prototype cell to a existing table view. I then
added some labels to the prototype cell with appropriate tags
set a identifier for the cell
and then in my tableview delegate when I get the delegate callback :
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"myCustomCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// Configure the cell...
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
UILabel *nameLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:11];
I see that nameLabel is nil. I have double checked and tripled checked the tag and reusable identifier with no luck. In the storyboard, I see that the tableview has the pro type cell as its cell with the contentView showing my labels. What am I missing?
Do you ever create a new cell in the if (cell == nil) branch? If yes, you are creating a regular UITAbleViewCell there. Do not expect any custom lable there, because you don't load it from any nib file nor from the storyboard.
Of what type is the cell object? NSLog it or have a look in the debugger which type is actually created.
You are allocating UITableViewCell which don't contain your custom label. If you have created a View using Storyboard then you should allocate that view using following method.
You can create a Utility method to get Class instance from NibName
+ (id)loadNibNamed:(NSString *)nibName ofClass:(Class)objClass
{
if (nibName && objClass)
{
NSArray *objects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:nibName
owner:nil
options:nil];
for (id currentObject in objects )
{
if ([currentObject isKindOfClass:objClass])
return currentObject;
}
}
return nil;
}
Use this in your code like
CustomViewCell *cell = (CustomViewCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"CustomViewCell"];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [Utility loadNibNamed:#"CustomViewCell" ofClass:[CustomViewCell class]];
}
cell.yourLabel.text = #"Dummy Text";
Hopefully this will help you.
Hello I'm having a little bit of trouble with something I'm working on. I have a static TableView with sections and I'm trying to get my text to be positioned in a certain spot so I have a ui label linked to a uitableviewcell. But for some reason It's not working. If you have any ideas on why I'm having trouble with this that would be great. I'm also a bit new to iOS development, just putting that out there.
TableViewController.m:
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TableCell";
TableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[TableCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
int row = [indexPath row];
if (indexPath.section==0)
cell.textLabel.text = _1[row];
if (indexPath.section==1)
cell.textLabel.text = _2[row];
if (indexPath.section==2)
cell.textLabel.text = _3[row];
if (indexPath.section==3)
cell.textLabel.text = _4[row];
if (indexPath.section==4)
cell.textLabel.text = _5[row];
if (indexPath.section==5)
cell.textLabel.text = _6[row];
if (indexPath.section==6)
cell.textLabel.text = _7[row];
if (indexPath.section==7)
cell.textLabel.text = _8[row];
return cell;
}
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
#end
TableCell.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface TableCell : UITableViewCell
#property (strong,nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *TitleLabel;
#end
replace this line
cell.textLabel.text = _1[row];
with
cell.TitleLabel.text = _1[row];
this line is not needed anymore
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[TableCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
in case TableCell is with xib, then you need to load it.
TableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
// Load the top-level objects from the custom cell XIB.
NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"TableCell" owner:self options:nil];
// Grab a pointer to the first object (presumably the custom cell, as that's all the XIB should contain).
cell = [topLevelObjects objectAtIndex:0];
}
cell.TitleLabel.text = _1[row];
return cell;
you should check this
- (void)registerClass:(Class)cellClass forCellReuseIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier
method to tell the table view how to create new cells. If a cell of the specified type is not currently in a reuse queue, the table view uses the provided information to create a new cell object automatically. if you previously registered a class or nib file with the same reuse identifier, the class you specify in the cellClass parameter replaces the old entry (Apple Document)
in your viewDidLoad method
[self.tableView registerClass:[TableCell class]
forCellReuseIdentifier:#"CellIdentifier"];
