    <p>In my UITableView, I recently changed the structure of the cell from formerly just putting UILabels in the contentView of the cell, to adding two UIViews (CellFront and CellBack, on top of one another) into the contentView (so I can achieve a sliding effect by sliding the top one off and revealing the lower one) and adding the UILabels to the top UIView.</p> <p>However, now, for whatever reason, the cells never get init'd and as a result my UITableView is full of blank cells.</p> <p>My cell gets created as follows (ArticleCell is a subclass of UITableViewCell):</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *CellIdentifier = nil; ArticleInfo *articleInfo = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]; // Checks if user simply added a body of text (not from a source or URL) if ([articleInfo.isUserAddedText isEqualToNumber:@(YES)]) { CellIdentifier = @"BasicArticleCell"; } else { CellIdentifier = @"FullArticleCell"; } ArticleCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[ArticleCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; } // If the user simply added a body of text, only articlePreview and progress has to be set cell.preview = articleInfo.preview; // If it's from a URL or a source, set title and URL as well if ([articleInfo.isUserAddedText isEqualToNumber:@(NO)]) { cell.title = articleInfo.title; cell.URL = articleInfo.url; } return cell; } </code></pre> <p>But I set a breakpoint on the initWithStyle method above within the if statement and it never gets called:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RY9zy.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>What would cause this? I'm deleting the app and building it from scratch every time, so data is definitely being added to the UITableView, but all the cells are blank. And I can tell a bunch of cells are being added as I have disclosure indicators on all of them, and the table view just gets filled with empty cells with the indicators only.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gYA3k.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>

    1. COGiven the info on `dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:` by @vikingosegundo, it sounds as though your `tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:` is working as expected. This would seem to suggest that it is something you have changed in your `ArticleCell` class that is causing the blank cells. Providing your implementation of this class might reveal the problem.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
