Custom UITableViewCell Not Using .xib (Most Likely Because of Flaw in init Method)

Question

I subclassed the UITableViewCell in order to customize it, but I think I\'m missing something because: 1) It\'s not working and 2) There are a couple of things I\'m confused

Answer 1

You have to load the cell from the .xib instead:

if ( cell == nil ) {
    cell = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CellXIBName" owner:nil options:nil][0];
}

// set the cell's properties
