Custom Collection View Cell adding images

Question

I have a property in the customCell.h file which is a UIImageView, i have synthesized it in the .m and added it to the contentView in the initWithFrame -

self.contentView addSubView:myImageView;

in the cellForRow method I call

customCell.myImageView.image = [UIImage imageName:@"someImageName.jpg"] like normal 

The image does not get added because i'm guessing initWithFrame gets called before the image is assigned to to image view

any solutions?

You can design your own custom cell using a nib(.xib) file in Interface Builder.

After that make outlets as the property to that custom cell.

Then, in cellForRowAtIndexPath: use the following patch.

CustomTableCell *cell = (CustomTableCell*) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:customTableCellId];

if(cell == nil) {
   NSArray *nib = [[ NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomTableCell" owner:self options:nil];

   cell = [ nib objectAtIndex:0];
}

cell.myImageView.image = [ UIImage imageNamed: [imageArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
