EXC_BAD_ACCESS on UITableView reloadData call - iphone

Question

I've come to the point of pulling my hair out over this one. I keep getting a EXC_BAD_ACCESS when I call the reloadData for the UITableView. I'll lay the groundwork for you here.
MainViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#class iPROSAppDelegate;
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <UIScrollViewDelegate, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource> {
iPROSAppDelegate *parent;
...
NSMutableArray *contentSeqList;
UITableView *contentSeqTable;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet iPROSAppDelegate *parent;
...
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *contentSeqList;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *contentSeqTable;
...
- (IBAction)changeMainView:(id)sender;
#end
MainViewController.m
- (IBAction)changeMainView:(id)sender{
//do logs to make sure we get here and grab an NSDictionary object from another class
NSLog(#"got to a change of main view");
NSDictionary *myContentSequences = [[parent csList] grabCSListandReturnJSON:[sender tag]];
NSLog(#"got cs list for tag %#: %#", [sender currentTitle], myContentSequences);
//set up table view
contentSeqTable = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 20, 240, 300) style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
contentSeqTable.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
[contentSeqTable setDelegate:self];
[contentSeqTable setDataSource:self];
NSLog(#"delegate: %#, data source: %#", [contentSeqTable delegate], [contentSeqTable dataSource]);
contentSeqList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
//populate nsmutablearray contentseqlist using the nsdictionary mycontentsequences
for (id dashboard in [myContentSequences objectForKey:#"dashboards"]){
if ([dashboard objectForKey:#"error"] == nil){
for (id contentsequence in [dashboard objectForKey:#"contentSequences"]){
[contentSeqList addObject:[contentsequence objectForKey:#"name"]];
NSLog(#"added object to content sequence list: %#", [contentsequence objectForKey:#"name"]);
}
}
}
[contentSeqTable reloadData];
...
}
changeMainView is called when a button is clicked in the main view. Here are the delegate methods also for UITableView. Notice that the NSLogs are the first lines in these methods, but I get neither showing in the console log before the EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
NSLog(#"content seq list count: %#", [contentSeqList count]);
return [contentSeqList count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
NSLog(#"setting up the cells");
NSUInteger index = [indexPath indexAtPosition:1];
NSString *myId = #"id";
if (tableView.editing) myId = #"idE";
UILabel *name;
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:myId];
if (cell == nil){
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 20) reuseIdentifier:myId] autorelease];
float width = 260;
if (tableView.editing) width = 240;
name = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(45, 1, width, 53)] autorelease];
[name setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[name setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[name setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size: 18]];
[name setAdjustsFontSizeToFitWidth:YES];
[name setMinimumFontSize:11];
[name setNumberOfLines:2];
name.tag = 1;
[cell.contentView addSubview:name];
}
else{
name = (UILabel *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:1];
}
if ([tableView indexPathForSelectedRow]){
if (indexPath == [tableView indexPathForSelectedRow]){
[name setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
}
else{
[name setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
}
}
else{
[name setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
}
[name setText:[contentSeqList objectAtIndex:index]];
return cell;
}
The delegate methods are part of the same class, MainViewController. I've also checked that the UITableView was not nil via NSLog right before reloadData. I know I have to be missing something small here. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Can you show call stack when EXC_BAD_ACCESS occurs?
BTW,
NSUInteger index = [indexPath row];
is much more readable than
NSUInteger index = [indexPath indexAtPosition:1];
