Access custom label property at didSelectRowAtIndexPath.
- by Mr. McPepperNuts
I have a UILabel for each cell at cellForRowAtIndexPath.
UILabel *cellLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
cellLabel.text = myString;
I want to access that string "myString" at didSelectRowAtIndexPath using indexpath.
NSString *anotherString = cell.textLabel.text;
returns null.
Now if at cellForRowAtIndexPath, I did something like cell.textLabel.text = theString; then the didSelectRowAtIndexPath returns the appropriate cell.
My question is, how can I access the text in the UILabel I apply to the cell, at didSelectRowAtIndexPath?
Also, logging the cell in didSelectRowAtIndexPath returns cell: <UITableViewCell: 0x5dcb9d0; frame = (0 44; 320 44); autoresize = W; layer = <CALayer: 0x5dbe670>>
Edit:
NSString *myString = [[results objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"name"];
//cell.textLabel.text = myString;
CGFloat width = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width - 50;
CGFloat height = 20;
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(10.0f, 10.0f, width, height);
UILabel *cellLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
cellLabel.text = myString;
cellLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cellLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cellLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
cellLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f];
[cell.contentView addSubview:cellLabel];
[cellLabel release];
return cell;
