    <p>I can't for the life of me figure out why my code wont format the date when it has worked for me before so I figured I would post the code up and see if someone else could spot the issue..</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *MyIdentifier = @"MyIdentifier"; UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease]; } // Set up the cell int storyIndex = [indexPath indexAtPosition: [indexPath length] - 1]; cell.textLabel.text = [[stories objectAtIndex: storyIndex] objectForKey: @"title"]; NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormat setDateFormat: @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss zzz"]; NSDate *dateTmp; dateTmp = [[stories objectAtIndex:storyIndex]objectForKey: @"date"]; cell.detailTextLabel.text = [dateFormat stringFromDate:dateTmp]; [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator]; cell.textLabel.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Verdana" size:12.0]; cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = Light_BACKGROUND; [dateFormat release]; return cell; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>I have used nslogs to see what information the code is actually making happen and it would seem that it has no problem getting the date from the mutable array but when I try to apply the stringFromDate for the detail text it just returns null so nothing is being placed leaving the detail text blank.</p> <p>I attempted to set a string so I could check the log and this was the turn out.</p> <pre><code>[1984:207] all done!

    2. COThe DateTmp and Dateline information is what I was getting with nslog. Dateline was a nsstring that I made a log for to see if the date was being assigned to the string. For example when running the code I would see the date as it is contained in my array being assigned to a DateTmp. The next step was supposed to be applying the date format to the DateTmp and returning the string for display in a detail textlabel.

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.
