Search Bar in UITableView doesn't display text in Cell label

Question

Here\'s where the magic isn\'t happening:

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


        

Answer 1

You need to have the searchResultsTableView dequeue a cell, not just your main table view. The cellForRowAtIndexPath method should look something like this:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if (tableView == self.tableView) {
        RDTriangleCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
        cell.textLabel.text = self.theData[indexPath.row];
        return cell;
    }else{
        UITableViewCell *cell = [self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SearchCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
        //RDCell *cell = [self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"SearchCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
        cell.textLabel.text = self.filteredData[indexPath.row];
        return cell;
    }
}

In viewDidLoad, you should register the class if you use the code I show above for a standard UITableViewCell.

[self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:@"SearchCell"];

If you use a custom cell for the search results table, then you should use something like the line I have commented out, and register the nib for that custom cell.
