Question

I’m adding an alternative style selection for my app, which is accessible from my in-app settings screen. The user can select dark or light color schemes.

So far I’ve used the initWithStyle: within the UITableViewCell to set the colors.

However, once the view is loaded, even when the user switches views via my navigation controller, the custom table cell class won’t be initialised again.

So I need to use an event like viewWillAppear: instead, but there doesn’t appear to be such an event for a UITableViewCell. What should I use ?

Answer 1

The UITableViewDelegate protocol has a tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:
message, if that’s what you’re looking after.
