I am having a very similar problem to the one discussed at Xamarin custom UITableViewCell throws System NullReferenceException.
Nevertheless, after following the answer there, my issue has not been solved.
I have a custom UITableView BoardListCell
. In my Storyboard, I have a UITableView
. It is accessible in my ViewController
via the outlet tableView
.
In my view controller, I get the data. Then I do tableView.Source = new BoardsTableViewSource(sourceData);
My BoardsTableViewSource
:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Foundation;
using UIKit;
public class BoardsTableViewSource : UITableViewSource
{
private List<List<Object>> data;
Boolean normalBoards;
public BoardsTableViewSource (List<List<Object>> data, bool normalBoards)
{
this.data = data;
this.normalBoards = normalBoards;
}
public List<List<Object>> getData()
{
return data;
}
public override nint RowsInSection (UITableView tableview, nint section)
{
return data.Count;
}
public override string TitleForHeader (UITableView tableView, nint section)
{
return "Header";
}
public override string TitleForFooter (UITableView tableView, nint section)
{
return "Footer";
}
public override UITableViewCell GetCell (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
BoardListCell cell = (BoardListCell)tableView.DequeueReusableCell("BoardTableCell");
List<Object> cellData = data [indexPath.Row];
cell.setData("1","!"); //I have simplified the data for this example
}
}
}
When debugging, I get the NullReference Exception on the cell.setData() line.
In StoryBoard, I have my BoardListCell
's identifier set to BoardTableCell
.
BoardListCell
:
public partial class BoardListCell : UITableViewCell
{
public static readonly UINib Nib = UINib.FromName ("BoardListCell", NSBundle.MainBundle);
public static readonly NSString Key = new NSString ("BoardListCell");
public BoardListCell() : base()
{
}
public BoardListCell (IntPtr handle) : base (handle)
{
}
public static BoardListCell Create ()
{
return (BoardListCell)Nib.Instantiate (null, null) [0];
}
public void setData(String top, String bottom)
{
this.exp.Text = top;
this.playTime.Text = bottom;
}
}
exp
and playTime
are outlets to UILabel
's. I have deleted and re-added the outlets, but this hasn't changed anything.
I don't know what the problem is. The only thing I can think of is because I am using a UITableView
that I made with StoryBoard and am accessing it via an outlet. Nevertheless, I don't know what the problem is...
