    <p>In this line of code:</p> <pre><code>NSString *anotherString = cell.textLabel.text; </code></pre> <p>How are you obtaining the cell? Is it nil? Also, the <em>textLabel</em> field you're accessing is the default label in the a UITableViewCell and not the label you are adding in <em>-cellForRowAtIndexPath</em>. Here is how you can get the cell from <em>-didSelectRowAtIndexPath</em>:</p> <pre><code>- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tv didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { UITableViewCell *cell = [self tableView:tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; } </code></pre> <p>The issue at this point, though, is that you can't access the UILabel by name, however, you can access it if you've set a tag. So, when you create your UILabel, set the tag like this:</p> <pre><code>UILabel *cellLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame]; cellLabel.text = myString; cellLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; cellLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; cellLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft; cellLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f]; // Set the tag to any integer you want cellLabel.tag = 100; [cell.contentView addSubview:cellLabel]; [cellLabel release]; </code></pre> <p>So, now you can access the UILabel by tag:</p> <pre><code>- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tv didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { UITableViewCell *cell = [self tableView:tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; UILabel *label = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:100]; NSLog(@"Label Text: %@", [label text]); } </code></pre>

    1. COVery interesting approach. However, with this implementation I get warning: incompatible Objective-C types initializing 'struct UIView *', expected 'struct UILabel *' at line " UILabel *label = [cell viewWithTag:100];"

    2. COJust type cast it to a UILabel*, e.g. UILabel *label = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:100]; Check the update to my answer.

    3. COI would of never thought of this. It worked perfectly. Is this the standard way to grab cell text when using a custom label at cellForRowAtIndexPath? There is a lot of information on the net for creating custom cells, not so much in accessing them. Thank you for the help.

Guidance
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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
