cell imageView in UITableView doesn't appear until selected

Question

1. Here is a video of the problem: http://youtu.be/Jid0PO2HgcU

2. I have a problem when trying to set the image for the [cell imageView] in a UITableView

Answer 1

I was having a similar problem. I had registered the default UITableViewCell class instead of my custom class.

I had this:

tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: visibilityCellIdentifier)

but I should have had this:

tableView.registerClass(VisibilityCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: visibilityCellIdentifier)

The cell creation all looked to be working as I stepped through the debugger, but nothing showed up until I selected each row.

Answer 2

Sometime it happens when you are using custom UITableViewCell with labels, images etc but also somewhere you are setting default UILabel of cell. for example

customCell.textLabel.text = @"some text"

To solve this problem, avoid using default label, instead add your own UILabel in your custom cell.
