How to register nib name in viewDidLoad method before calling cellForRowAtIndex method?

Answer 1

Apple provided register nib method for UITableView after IOS 5 Please check class reference http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UITableView_Class/Reference/Reference.html

Ex:

     In view did load you can register nib for UITableView like below
     [tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"nibName" bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:@"identifienName"];

      In cellForRowAtIndexPath
      cell =  [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"identifienName"];

Answer 2

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
   [super viewDidLoad];
   [self.tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"cell" bundle:nil] 
   forCellReuseIdentifier:@"cell"];
}

Answer 3

UINib *cellNib = [UINib nibWithNibName:@"Custom_cellTableViewCell" bundle:nil]; [self.tableView registerNib:cellNib forCellReuseIdentifier:@"Custom_cellTableViewCell"];

This code is working fine
