Adjusting Title in UITableViewCell Xcode StoryBoard

Question

I want to move the position of the title textview in my cell prototype. When I select the "Title" I cannot adjust the X,Y coordinates or even the Width and Height. Are we not allowed to customize this part of the cell.

When I tried to do this in code it said I was not allowed to access the current parameter. How do I move the location of this title and subtitle. I want to move it to the top of the cell and have my colored views below. Thanks in advance, still somewhat new to Xcode.

   cell.textLabel.frame.origin.x = 30;  //not allowed to access

Answer 1

you cannot access to the x position, but you can put the whole frame easily. Here and example all by code, I think It's your best option:

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *reuseIdentifier = @"reuseIdentifier";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (!cell)
{
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    cell.textLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.frame.size.width, 30);
    cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];


}
// Configure your cell...


return cell;
}

Here using Story cell, I think is worse because more work.(It didn't take advantage for the reuse technology at all).

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {



UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"storyIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];


cell.textLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.frame.size.width, 30);
cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];



// Configure your cell...


return cell;
}
