Get cell value in tableView

Question

I want to get cell value in tableView by using:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

UITableViewCell *selectedCell=[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSLog(@"selected cell: %@", selectedCell);

}

It should be a String but this is what i get in the NSLog:

selected cell: <RewardCategoriesTableViewCell: 0x7ae11290; baseClass = UITableViewCell; frame = (0 92.01; 320 44); autoresize = W; layer = <CALayer: 0x7ae11450>>

And this is my Data Source of Array:

NSArray* data= [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:category1, category2, category3, category4, category5, category6, category7, nil];
return data;

This is cellForRowAtIndexPath:

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

RewardCategoriesTableViewCell *cell = (RewardCategoriesTableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell"];

if (cell == nil)
{
    NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
    cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}

if(indexPath.section >= [categories count]){
    return nil;
}

Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];

NSString *identifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Cell%ld", indexPath.section];

NSLog(@"%@" , identifier);

cell.lblCategory.text = category.CategoryName;

NSLog(@"cell value: %@", cell.lblCategory.text);

return cell;
}

Thanks for helps.

Which value you are trying to get from Cell, seems like you are trying to log the UITableViewCell class which can never return a String. — Vizllx, May 26 '15 at 05:16

In your way, you get the UITableviewCell or subclass object,so what you log is right.
If you want to get cell value,you should check your dataSource,in MVC pattern that is your Model.
For example: you have a array named dataArray as Model,Then you get value dataArray[indexPath.row]

I am not sure why you set text of cell based on the indexPath.section,so ,I post example code based on the code you post

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

  Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
  NSString * cellText = category.CategoryName;
}

BTY,I think the right way is let text of cell based on the row

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

RewardCategoriesTableViewCell *cell = (RewardCategoriesTableViewCell*)  [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell"];

if (cell == nil)
{
    NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"RewardCategoriesTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
    cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}

if(indexPath.row>= [categories count]){
    return nil;
}

Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

NSString *identifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Cell%ld", indexPath.row];

NSLog(@"%@" , identifier);

cell.lblCategory.text = category.CategoryName;

NSLog(@"cell value: %@", cell.lblCategory.text);

return cell;
}

Then in:

  -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  Categories *category = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
  NSString * cellText = category.CategoryName;
}

This is my array in Model: NSArray* data= [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:category1, category2, category3, category4, category5, category6, category7, nil]; return data; Then how can i get value from here, where should i use data[indexPath.row]? — Umit Kaya, May 26 '15 at 07:16
thank you very much, i spend my whole day in this issue. well, what do you think if i use userDefaults to store this value to transfer another view? is it good approach? — Umit Kaya, May 26 '15 at 08:39
