Question

I just started to learn Objective c. Now i want a under title (small grey text) under the ”big” title. i’m using the code:

cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Test";

but in the simulator i do not see a under title.

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];


    }

    // Configure the cell...
    cell.textLabel.text = [self.authorList objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];

    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;

    return cell;
}

Answer 1

You’re using UITableViewCellStyleDefault. It does not support details.

Use UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle instead.

-edit-

If you’re using storyboards, remove all the cell init code and leave only the dequeue line. Then go to the interface builder and change the type of the cell there.
