UITableView cell text is not showing xml data in iPhone application development - iphone

Question

I am newer in iPhone application development. I want to find out why tableview cell is not showing data. I tried a lot of ways. I am giving my code below.
Note that I am seeing data at my console which is coming from XML file but it's not displaying in UITableView cell.
#synthesize newsTable;
#synthesize activityIndicator;
#synthesize rssParser;
#synthesize stories;
#synthesize item;
#synthesize currentElement;
#synthesize currentTitle, currentDate, currentSummary, currentLink;

Answer 1

Try to set value of property textLabel, not detailedTextLabel :
cell.textLabel.text = [[stories objectAtIndex:storyIndex] valueForKey:#"productNumber"];
Also try to create cell using predefined styles:
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier: MyIdentifier];

Answer 2

To make a cell you should use
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
method. By default the detailTextLabel is not visible in the cell.
Try to use other styles - UITableViewCellStyleValue1, for example.

Answer 3

Instead of giving,
int storyIndex = [indexPath indexAtPosition: [indexPath length] - 1];
//[cell setText:[[stories objectAtIndex: storyIndex] objectForKey: #"title"]];
//[cell setLabelText:[[stories objectAtIndex:storyIndex] objectForKey: #"ProductData"]];
//[cell setText:[stories objectAtIndex:storyIndex]];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [stories objectAtIndex:storyIndex];
try this code:
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [stories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
before that ,just check your array(stories)having content?
Thank You..

Answer 4

cell.detailTextLabel.text = [stories objectAtIndex:storyIndex];
replace above statement with belo wstatement iy will work i think
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [stories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
