POLabel refuses to disappear with [label setHidden:YES]; command in a if-method?
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to customize my tableView in my IOS app. When my tableView(or rather array) is empty, I want to display a customized label instead of the items in the tableView. The label I am referring to is "label0". But something is terribly wrong, my [label0 setHidden:YES]; or [label0 setHidden:NO]; only works in the first block of the if "method"? In the second block (if else) nothing happens no matter what I try to set the label as (hidden or shown).</p> <p>What have I missed? I cannot see my own fault?</p> <pre><code>- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { UIView *headerView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 30)] autorelease]; UILabel *label0 = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 25, tableView.bounds.size.width - 0, 100)] autorelease]; if ([self.searchResults count] == 0){ headerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"lista2.png"]]; UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 3, tableView.bounds.size.width - 5, 18)] autorelease]; label.text = @"Information"; label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; [headerView addSubview:label]; label0.text = @"Test test test"; label0.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; label0.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; [tableView addSubview:label0]; [label0 setHidden:NO]; } else { headerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"lista2.png"]]; UILabel *label2 = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 3, tableView.bounds.size.width - 5, 18)] autorelease]; label2.text = @"Search results"; label2.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; label2.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; [headerView addSubview:label2]; [label0 setHidden:YES]; } return headerView; } </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>I have moved the code to viewDidLoad and set the property for the UILabel. This have unfortunately not solved my problem....</p> <pre><code>UILabel *label0 = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 25, tableView.bounds.size.width - 0, 100)] autorelease]; [tableView addSubview:label0]; if ([self.searchResults count] == 0){ label0.text = @"Test test test"; label0.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; label0.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; [label0 setHidden:NO]; } else { [label0 setHidden:YES]; } </code></pre>
