When registering a UITableViewCell for reuse, which init method on that cell gets called? [duplicate]

Answer 1

[[head-slap]] I'm an idiot! The method that I was trying to add in the body of the init call...

initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier:

...is the one I should be overriding!

Found it here...

Setting style of UITableViewCell when using iOS 6 UITableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:

Voting to close my own question. Hopefully though, the brevity of this one will help others avoid reading the superfluous details in the other.

Answer 2

I believe it calls initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier: for the table cell init.

From the apple docs

dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:

If you registered a class for the specified identifier and a new cell must be created, this method initializes the cell by calling its initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier: method. For nib-based cells, this method loads the cell object from the provided nib file. If an existing cell was available for reuse, this method calls the cell’s prepareForReuse method instead.
