I'm having an issue in trying to display info in a cell, one on the left and one on the right. I'm aware using initWithStyle with UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle. I use this but it doesn't seem to work.
Here is some sample code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)ltableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Account Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:Cellidentifier];
}
Accounts *account = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = account.name;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = #"Price";
return cell;
}
I can display cell.textLabel.text just fine, however I cannot get the simple "Price" to be displayed. I've tried different things, such as setting the font size of cell.detailTextLabel.
I've also tried UITableViewCellStyleValue1 as some had suggested in older posts.
Threw NSLog after setting to "Price", shows cell.detailTextLabel as null.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Edit: I found this: cell.detailTextLabel.text is NULL
If I remove if (cell == nil) it works...
That check should be in place, so how do you make it work when using the different styles?
When using storyboards and prototype cells, a cell is always returned from the dequeue method (assuming a prototype with that identifier exists). This means you never get into the (cell == nil) block.
In your case the prototype cell is not defined in the storyboard with the subtitle style, so a subtitled cell is never used, and the detail text label does not exist. Change the prototype in the storyboard to have the subtitle style.
Remove all your code just once you try these lines only and check this will work or not.
-(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]
autorelease];
}
cell.textLabel.text=[Array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.detailTextLabel.text=#"Price";
return cell;
}
I see the problem: in your method name, the UITableView variable is named ltableView, not tableView. Change it to tableView.
cell.detailTextLable.text should be cell.detailTextLabel.text. It looks like a simple mis-spelling of label.
All the answers mentioned here are really a workaround i.e. using storyboard.
Here is a way to do it only in code.
Basically instead of registering the identifier for the cell in viewDidLoad do it only once in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method. Also reset cell registered in viewDidLoad __sCellRegistered = 0;
static int _sCellRegistered = 0;
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
if (__sCellRegistered == 0) {
__sCellRegistered = 1;
NSLog(#"register cell");
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:#"CellIdentifier"];
[self.tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"CellIdentifier"];
};
if (!cell) {
NSLog(#"dequeue");
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"CellIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];
}

I am trying to make a custom tableview cell for an iPad app, using the Parse framework. When i query without the custom cell, it works fine, but as soon as i am changing the cell identifier, i am just stuck at the loading icon.
The code goes as follows:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath object:(PFObject *)object {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"specielCelle";
sagerCelle *cell = (sagerCelle *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[sagerCelle alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// Configure the cell
cell.lblPolice.text = [object objectForKey:#"police"];
//cell.textLabel.text = [object objectForKey:self.textKey];
//cell.imageView.file = [object objectForKey:self.imageKey];
return cell;
}
Here my advices,(By the way the question is not clear)
Firstly change your identifier with an indexpath.Row
NSString *cellIdentifier=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"CELL_%d",(int)indexPath.row];
Second
if you are changing your existing cell then you are not be able to go inside of the block of
if(cell==nil)
because your cell is not nil. Write else condition.
Hope it helps.
I'm unable to display any accessories in my UITableView cells:
- (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.text = #"Foo";
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
return cell;
}
Changing the cell styles shows no difference. What's going on here?
Deleting and then creating a new file fixed the problem.
This was a result of having started with an xib file, and then deleted it in favor of doing the whole thing programmatically. Somehow, after deleting the xib, some of the delegation settings stuck.
I'm trying to add a subtitle to my tableview cells, but they are not displayed.
Where is the mistake?
Is the row
[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle]
up-to-date, also with iOS 7?
Best regards

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (!cell)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"TestA";
cell.detailTextLabel.text = #"TestB";
return cell;
}
This code:
if (!cell)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
will never execute because dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: forIndexPath: is guaranteed to allocate a new cell.
Unfortunately, registerClass:forCellReuseIdentifier: doesn't let you specify a UITableViewCellStyle.
Change dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath to simply dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier. This method does not guarantee a cell will be returned.* When it's not, your code will then create a new cell with the style you want.
* - (It will if you're using a storyboard, as rdelmar points out, but that's not the case here.)
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell"];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:#"cell"];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"Title1";
cell.detailTextLabel.text = #"Subtitle 1";
return cell;
}
I had a similar problem and no solution on the internet worked for me. Turns out I was being an idiot. I'll post my solution just incase someone else experience a similar scenario.
I am assuming that you are using storyboard, have created a prototype and set the style to subtitle
In your storyboards document outline, make sure you select the protoptype cell and select the subtitle. See image:
Now ensure that the label font colour is of a nature that us visible on your background!
Simply subclass UITableViewCell and override
- (instancetype)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier;
with the first line being
[super initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
And register your cell class with the table view
[tableView registerClass:[YourCellSubclass class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"YourCellID"];
i was following this torturial:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/32283/core-graphics-tutorial-lines-rectangles-and-gradients
It covers customization of dynamic table cells, i need to do it with static table cells.
I have given every cell the identifier "Cell", as he does in the tutorial, i then subclassed the table view controller and implemented this:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString * CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// START NEW
if (![cell.backgroundView isKindOfClass:[CostumCellBackground class]]) {
cell.backgroundView = [[CostumCellBackground alloc] init];
}
if (![cell.selectedBackgroundView isKindOfClass:[CostumCellBackground class]]) {
cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[CostumCellBackground alloc] init];
}
// END NEW
cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; // NEW
return cell;
}
CostumCellBackground draws the rect.
I am getting the error "UITableView dataSource must return a cell from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:
As far as i understand UITableView is looped for every Cell in the storyboard, and it is supposed to return cell.
So, whats going on here and why does the cell return nil, or doesnt return at all ?
The only difference is that they are static tables, and not prototypes.
If you are using Storyboards and iOS6 and your view controller is a UITableViewController, you will always get a cell if your cell identifier is present in your storyboard. Checking for cel == nil is the old way to do it.
Are you sure you have a custom cell in your storyboard with the "Cell" identifier?
Also, use this:
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
If you look in the UITableView.h file you will find:
// newer dequeue method guarantees a cell is returned and resized properly, assuming identifier is registered
- (id)dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(6_0);
Where is you create your cell ??
You should add after:
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
such code (or something another initializer):
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] init];
}
Try this at the beginning of your method:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString * CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]
initWithStyle: UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier
];
}
So I register my cell:
[self.tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
// setting up the cell
}
The issue is I can't set the cell.detailTextLabel.text property. The cell is never nil.
If called first, table view registerClass will cause dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier to return non-nil cell if the cell reuse identifier matches.
I believe registerClass is generally used for cells that will be a custom cell derived from UITableViewCell. Your custom cell can overrite initWithStyle and set the style there.
It's not always necessary to create a custom cell.
If you want to set the cell style then don't call registerClass.
you need do followed 3 changes to achieve you goal:
remove registerClass statement.
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
=> UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
use initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
usually there are two ways to create cell with subtile, firstly with custom UITableViewCell, set style in the init. secondly with followed code, which is what you wanted:
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
The easiest way is to use the storyboard, and set the cell style in IB. In that case, you shouldn't register anything, nor should you have an if (cell == nil) clause. It doesn't seem to matter whether you use dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: or dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath. They both are guaranteed to return a cell when that cell is created in the storyboard.
Create a custom cell. Change its style in interface builder. Use table view register the cell from nib your view controller.
And the code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:#"YourCustomCell" bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:kReuseIdentifier];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
YourCustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:kReuseIdentifier];
// Do things with the cell.
// The cell has no chance to be nil because you've already registered it in viewDidLoad method.
// So there's not need to write any code like if(cell==nil).
// Just use it.
return cell;
}
Try using the UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle style for the cell. Change the line in the if statement to this:
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
You need to change the cell style:
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
to this
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
This will work for you.
This is an old question. I just want to provide a alternative solution.
Why not try below, after you register the cell:
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
then do:
[cell initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier ];
It works for me.
