Font and textColor are gone - another UITableViewCell awakeFromNib

Question

I don't know if this is specific to UITableViewCells , but rather common to UIViews (as I believe), but I noticed a problem with the cell.

As already mentioned, I have a custom subclass of UITableViewCell that loads from xib when it is initialized with the assigned init:

 - (id)initWithReuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier { NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MyCell" owner:nil options:nil]; self = nib[0]; if (self) { // Initialization code _reuseIdentifier = reuseIdentifier; } return self; } 

It has UILabel as an output, and I set some of its properties in the awakeFromNib method:

 - (void)awakeFromNib{ [super awakeFromNib]; self.labelLeft.textColor = [UIColor grayColor]; self.labelLeft.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15.0f]; } 

The fact is that the shortcut does not save the textColor or font, and I do not understand why.
awakeFromNib is called and the output is connected correctly, since I can set the text.

I can get it to work with the settings for these properties after I set its text to a UITableViewDataSource , but I do not think it is correct, and I want to understand why this does not work.

Question :
Why doesn't it save the font and text and what can I do to make it work correctly?

Answer 1

I have the same problem with all my shortcuts downloaded from .Nib . Then I discovered that the problem was in UIAppearance . I have the following line in AppDelegate :

 + (void)styleApplication { [[UILabel appearance] setFont:[MGStylesheet defaultLightFontOfSize:17]]; } 

This method updates all the fonts in my application and everything works fine until I start loading UIView from .Nib . When I remove this, everything will start to work as expected.

Set label attributes in the nib file. If you divide the configuration of the interface into different places, this will lead to a simple start.

If you do not want to do this, move the label configuration to viewDidLoad:
