table not showing up properly

[CanDev]

Hi,

I get my table to show up, but the info isnt populated properly.

The cell just shows the text i have put in as a placeholder and not what is in my plist.

this works

    - (void)viewDidLoad
    {
        [super viewDidLoad];

        if (CurrentLevel == 0) {
            NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
            self.bandList = array;
           
            AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
            self.bandList = [appDelegate.data objectForKey:@"Rows"];
            self.navigationItem.title = @"2012 Competing Bands";
        }
        else
            self.navigationItem.title = CurrentTitle;
    }

this works

    - (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
    {
        // Return the number of sections.
        return 1;
    }

    - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
    {
        // Return the number of rows in the section.
        return [bandList count];
    }

this partially works, the images that show up are correct but the title and description dont show

    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        TableCell *cell = (TableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"BandCell"];
       
        // Configure the cell...
        NSDictionary *dict = [self.bandList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        cell.nameLabel.text = [dict objectForKey:@"Title"];
        cell.countryLabel.text = [dict objectForKey:@"Description"];
        UIColor *color = ((indexPath.row % 2) == 0) ? [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255 green:0/255 blue:0/255 alpha:1] : [UIColor blackColor];
        cell.nameLabel.textColor = color;
       
        //adding image to cell
       
        if ([dict objectForKey:@"imageKey"] == nil) {
            return cell;
           
        } else {
            NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[dict objectForKey:@"imageKey"] ofType:@"png"];
            UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:path];
            cell.imageView.image = theImage;
            theImage = cell.bandImage.image;
            theImage = nil;
        }
        return cell;
    }

Here is the table Cell file

    //  TableCell.h

    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

    @interface TableCell : UITableViewCell

    @property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *nameLabel;
    @property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *countryLabel;
    @property (nonatomic, strong) UIImageView *bandImage;

    @end

    //  TableCell.m

    #import "TableCell.h"

    @implementation TableCell
    @synthesize nameLabel, countryLabel, bandImage;

    - (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
    {
        self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
        if (self) {
            // Initialization code
        }
        return self;
    }

    - (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
    {
        [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

        // Configure the view for the selected state
    }

    @end

I am sure i am missing something simple. I had it working before i made a custom cell but now its not. I am using a custom cell because I want the image to be there too. Can I have an image if I choose the title/subtitle cell?

Thanks for your help

How have you made the cells? Using a xib or just in code.

if it is in code you will need to so something along the lines of:

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
    {
        self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
        if (self) {
            self.nameLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 10, 150, 50)];
self.countryLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 15, 150, 25)];

//Any additional set up code of the label e.g. fonts, colors etc
        }
        return self;
    }

    }

Made the cell in storyboard. Turns out I forgot to add the IBOutlets to the TableCell.h file. OOPS!!

Thats all working now that I did that.

Thanks for the reply though
