UITableViewCell without using deprecated method initWithFrame:reuseIdentifier

Question

I have read Loren's article on drawing your own content for UITableViewCell.

Article

However, he is using a deprecated method. initWithFrame:resuseIdentifier: is deprecated on UITableViewCell.

How do you get his example to work without using initWithFrame:reuseIdentifier?

Answer 1

You can refer to this link to find the replacement for the deprecated method. Should be fairly easy to get the code working with the replacement. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableViewCell_Class/DeprecationAppendix/AppendixADeprecatedAPI.html

Answer 2

just had to replace initWithFrame:resuseIdentifier with the following.

    - (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style
        reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
    {
        if (self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier])
        {
            // you might want to add the UIView to [self contentView] 
            // so that in edit's the cell's content will be automatically adjusted.
            ABTableViewCellView *myUIView = [[ABTableViewCellView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
            myUIView.opaque = YES;
            contentViewForCell = myUIView;
            [self addSubview:myUIView];
            [myUIView release];
        }


 return self;
}

Also, apple has an example as Loren points out but they use initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier
