The download link for this project source-code is broken now

One tidbit that I ran into, the View that you use for the background view needs to be sized the same as the cell, I didn’t do this initially and some of the cell data was covered by the view. After clicking I would see the data but it was very weird to me on why it was happening. Took me a couple of days to figure it out and a couple of looks over other tutorial.

Thanks, great work !!!

Great Tutorial. I need some help. I am creating an app with a Tab Bar which gives me 5 views. On the 5th view, I want this fancy table. It loads the view of that page from a seperate nib called newsTable and conforms to the class newsTableViewController.

I did exactly what you did but it keeps on crashes and tells me that it has gotten an uncaught something.

Do you think it has anything to do with this line: NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@”iCodeBlogCustomCell” owner:nil options:nil];

What is the owner? Should it be nil if I have a tab bar going on? I dont know what the problem is please help me!

You need to cast it. So make this line:

CustomTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

to

CustomTableViewCell *cell = (CustomTableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

I keep getting the warning: “Initializing with a Distinct Objective-C Type” at:

CustomTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

Xcode/IB doesn’t appear to automatically instantiate the customized cell.

Any ideas/

Also, I notice that the IB’s File Owner wasn’t set/used. Shouldn’t the ‘File Owner’ icon bet set to the customized cell def?

[[cell image] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"icon1.png"]];

[[cell image] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon2.png"]];

Notice something? the darn @”icon1.png” is case sensitive. if you spell something wrong it will not show your image!!!!!!!!! Took me an hour to figure out that my images were not bad. The part that kicks my booty is that it works in the simulator and not the phone/touch. This REALLY burns. I learned something but please.

Good tutorial man.

another great tutorial, thx fot that.
It helped me a lot!

But sourceCode-Link is still not working..would be fine if you’re able to fix that..cause I would like to use your images for this turoial..

thx

[[cell imageView] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"1.png"]];

but if you follow the steps on the tutorial it should be:

[[cell image] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"1.png"]];

Could you possibly make a second step to this tutorial? I would love to see how you can click on each heading and learn how to drill down to further levels.

I think that is just a warning to tell you that you’re using your own custom cell, rather than an actual error. Its fine here because we created the proper methods to support the table.

@Collin

One problem that I have with this is the images are blown way out of proportion and get re sized somehow. See
http://screencast.com/t/ph7MjFwb7t

But the project that I have is identical to yours.
See:
http://screencast.com/t/TNV867Jj
and when i select the image view associated with the image
http://screencast.com/t/p4Cqf5FQl

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried to run the app in the simulator but I get a warning: Initialization from distinct Objective-C type.

Do you know how to solve this?
I noticed you get the similar warning in your screencast.

Thank you
