Accessing View in awakeFromNib?

Question

I have been trying to set a UIImageView background color (see below) in awakeFromNib

[imageView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alp         


        

Answer 1

I believe your call to super needs to be the first line in the awakeFromNib method, otherwise the elements won't be setup yet.

-(void)awakeFromNib {
  [super awakeFromNib];
  [imageView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1.0]];
  [testLabel setText:@"Pants ..."];  
}
