IFTweetLabel in UITableViewCell Subclass not showing - ios5

Question

Right Now I am making a twitter app and I am Using IFTweetLabel. I made a TableViewCell Subclass but When I Run it the label dosent show up.
Here is the .h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "IFTweetLabel.h"
#interface twitterTextCell : UITableViewCell
#property (strong, nonatomic) IFTweetLabel *customtextLabel;
#end
And here is the implementation:
#import "twitterTextCell.h"
#implementation twitterTextCell
#synthesize customtextLabel;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
customtextLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
self.customtextLabel.frame = CGRectMake(240, 60, 345, 109);
[self addSubview:customtextLabel];
NSLog(#"Custom Label Text: %#", customtextLabel.text);
}
return self;
}
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
-(UILabel *)textLabel
{
return nil;
}
Here is the code that is in the cellforrow in the tableviewdelegate:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
twitterTextCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[twitterTextCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
NSDictionary *tweet = [self.timeLineData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if ([tweet objectForKey:#"text"] != nil) {
NSString *allText = [[tweet objectForKey:#"text"] stringByDecodingHTMLEntities];
cell.customtextLabel.numberOfLines = 4;
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 4;
cell.customtextLabel.text = allText;
cell.textLabel.text = allText;
cell.customtextLabel.linksEnabled = YES;
NSDictionary *whoPostedTweet = [tweet objectForKey:#"user"];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [whoPostedTweet objectForKey:#"name"];
NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [whoPostedTweet objectForKey:#"profile_image_url"]]];
[cell.imageView setImageWithURL:imageURL placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"placeholder.png"]];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[cell.imageView.layer setCornerRadius:7.0f];
[cell.imageView.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
return cell;
} else {
[self getTwitterData];
NSLog(#"nil called(else) ");
return cell;
}
return cell;
}
After all of this only the image and the detailtextview show up. I removing the default textview because If I don't the text shows up normally but it is not the IFTweetLabel. Another thing I have a question about is how do I reposition the detailtextabel so that it is Under the IFTweetLabel. Anything is greatly appreciated, I need help on both of these issues.

Answer 1

i think your problem is you are not allocating customTextLabel.
Just allocate the same before setting the background color in initWithStyle.
ie, self.customtextLabel = [[[IFTweetLabel alloc] init] autorelease];
