Question

I have a custom UITableViewCell and I need to initialize some ivars before it is displayed in a UITableView. I overrode - (void)init but that did not seem to be the designated initializer. Where should I be putting my code?

EDIT: the cell was made using UITableViewCell prototypes in Interface Builder.

Answer 1

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder;

Also, for what it sounds like you are wanting to do, you may instead want to override:

-(void)awakeFromNib;
