indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath not indenting custom cell
- by Xetius
I have overridden the tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath method in my UITableViewController derived class as follows:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSDictionary* item = [self.projects objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
int indentationLevel = [[item objectForKey:@"indent"] intValue];
DLog (@"Indentation Level for Row %d : %d", indexPath.row, indentationLevel);
return indentationLevel;
}
I initially thought that this was not being called but that was operator error (err, mine) and I hadn't defined the symbol DEBUG=1.
However, it is being called (duh me!) and this is the log output:
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 0 : 1
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 1 : 1
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 2 : 2
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 3 : 2
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 4 : 2
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 5 : 1
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 6 : 2
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 7 : 2
-[RootViewController tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath:] [Line 129] Indentation Level for Row 8 : 1
But, this is not affecting the layout of the cells. No indentation.
This is my itemCellForRowAtIndexPath implementation, if that makes any difference:
-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView itemCellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString* cellIdentifier = @"projectItemCell";
ProjectItemTableViewCell* cell = (ProjectItemTableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
NSArray* nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"ProjectItemTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
for (id oneObject in nib) {
if ([oneObject isKindOfClass:[ProjectItemTableViewCell class]]) {
cell = (ProjectItemTableViewCell*)oneObject;
}
}
}
NSDictionary* item = [self.projects objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.projectDescLabel.text = [item objectForKey:@"name"];
cell.itemCountlabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [[item objectForKey:@"cache_count"] intValue]];
cell.itemCountlabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorForHex:[item objectForKey:@"color"]];
cell.indentationWidth = 20;
return cell;
}
How do I indent a custom UITableViewCell which I have defined in Interface Builder?
If I change the itemCellForRowAtIndexPath to use a default UITableViewCell with the code below, then it indents fine.
static NSString* cellIdentifier = @"projectItemCell";
UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
NSDictionary* item = [self.projects objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [item objectForKey:@"name"];
cell.indentationWidth = 40;
return cell;
