Answer 1

xcode 11

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    //        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier", for: indexPath)
    let cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle.value1, reuseIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier")
    cell.detailTextLabel?.text = "Detail text"
    cell.textLabel?.text = "Label text"

    // Configure the cell...

    return cell
}

Answer 2

Try this it work for me (swift 5)

let cell = UITableViewCell(style: .value1, reuseIdentifier: "cellId")
cell.textLabel.text = "Déconnexion"
cell.imageView.image = UIImage(named: "imageName")

Objective c :

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:@"cellId"];

Answer 3

Your code looks fine. Just goto the storyboard and select the cell of your tableview -> Now goto Attributes Inspector and choose the style to Subtitle.

Follow this according to the below screenshot.

Hope it helped..

Answer 4

If you still want to use prototype cell from your storyboard, select the TableViewcell style as Subtitle. it will work.

Answer 5

If you are setting the text to nil somewhere when you try to set it to a non-nil value the actual view that contains the text will be missing. This was introduced in iOS8. Try setting to an empty space @" " character instead.

Answer 6

If doing so programmatically without cells in interface builder this code works like a charm in Swift 2.0+

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    yourTableView.delegate = self
    yourTableView.dataSource = self
    yourTableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "subtitleCell")

}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return yourTableViewArray.count
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
    let cell: UITableViewCell = yourTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("subtitleCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell

    cell.textLabel?.text = "the text you want on main title"
    cell.detailTextLabel?.text = "the text you want on subtitle"

    return cell
}
