Question

In a uitableview in my storyboard, I have defined a prototype cell. In that cell (a custom class kzTexturedCellv2) I have a text view and an image view. I have also given the cell an identifier (“kzTexturedCellv2”) and used

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

kzTexturedCellv2 *cell = [[kzTexturedCellv2 alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"kzTexturedCellv2"];

...

to create the cells. The problem is that the cells show up blank (without any of the subviews that I added in storyboad.) When I try to set text of the uitextview inside the cell, it always returns null. What is going on here?

Answer 1

When using storyboards there is no need to alloc init the cell.

See dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier behavior changed for prototype cells?

Use only:

kzTexturedCellv2 *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"kzTexturedCellv2"];

Alloc init will be handled by the framework
