Question

How can I add a subView to a custom UITableViewCell from the implementation file, i.e. MyCustomCell.m inside the drawRect method? Instead of adding it inside the cellForRowAtIndexPath method in the view controller …

I tried [self.contentView addSubView: view1]; but it gives this warning: UIView may not respond to -addSubView:

EDIT:

The code that caused the crash is :

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier]) {
        // Initialization code (add your view here.)
        [self.contentView addSubView: self.view1];
    }
    return self;
}

it’s your misspelling; not addSubView:, but addSubview:.
