cell.textLabel.text = @”hello world”; worked fine, just needed to hunt a little bit!

Thank you for making this tutorial however I have encountered an error and I was wondering if you might be able to help.

[cell setText: @"Hello World"]; isn’t working for me because I have the iPhone OS 4 beta 2 installed and setText is deprecated.

It tells me to use the property textLabel however I am unsure how to use it appropriately.

Thank you for your help…

Your are really helping a lot of people. Apple should really pay you for doing this.

Why don’t you have atleast a ‘Paypal Donate’ button on this blog? I am sure many readers would like to encourage you to keep writing these handy tutorials.

so the line should read:

cell.textLabel.text = @”Hello World”;

you could write:
cell.textLabel.text = @”Hello World”;

And … if you change the code just above for defining the cell and replace:
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
– with –
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
- then you can add:
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @”Hello again”;

here it is all together:

if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}

cell.textLabel.text = @”Hallo World”;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @”Hello again”;

The new way of displaying information is now to use
[cell.textLabel setText:@"My String"];

enjoy

Cheers

In the last SDK,

[cell setText:@"Hello World'];

setText is deprecated, you should use instead:

UILabel *label = cell.textLabel;
[label setText:@"Hello World"];
