CustomCell without customCell class - ios

Question

this is my problem. I would to create a custom cell without create a custom cell class.
I know that this is possible. I've created in storyboard a tableviewcontroller with a prototype cell with a label. In the attibutes I've set the cell name "mycell". And the code that I used is:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{ static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"mycell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{ cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];}
UILabel *title = (UILabel*) [cell viewWithTag:1];
title.text = #"Hi";
return cell;
}
But when my app run I see only a empty table without a cell with my label.

Your UILabel title is nil. First create a UILabel and add as a subview to your cell. You can do this like below
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"mycell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
UILabel *title = (UILabel*) [cell viewWithTag:1];
if (title == nil) {
title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 15)];
title.tag = 1;
[cell.contentView addSubview:title];
}
title.text = #"Hi";
return cell;
}
