How can I change custom cells label parameters in viewDidLoad?

Question

I have custom cell called MyCustomCell, there is a label named pushLabel, in table view I get parameters of label like this:

cell.pushLabel.text = @"text";

I need to get in that label parameters in viewDidLoad (where table view is located), how this can be done?

Answer 1

In viewDidLoad method, UITableView still should have not been loaded so there no way you can get UITableViewCell objects.

One solution can be, maintain flag say you have

//Add in your .h file
BOOL hidePushLabel;

Now use these flag to hide intially in tableview like this:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   NSString *strCellIndentifier = @"cell";
   UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:strCellIndentifier];

   if (cell)
   {
       //By default hidePushLabel will be NO so hide pushLabel
       if(!hidePushLabel)
          cell.pushLabel.hidden = YES;
       else
          cell.pushLabel.hidden = NO;
   }
   return cell;
}
