How do I create a custom UITableViewCell with nib

Question

In XCode 3, I could elect to make a nib when creating a table view cell subclass. In Xcode 4, it only makes the h / m files.

How do I make the subclass with a xib file?

Edit: see screen shots below:

EDIT: Additionally, is there any way to create the UITableViewCell nib automatically, along with the h and m files, all pre-wired and ready to edit?

Answer 1

Javy, as I understood you already have .h/.m files and you are missing the view (nib).

1. Please select new file, select "User Interface" category and empty in sub category.
2. Once your nib is created, drag and drop the UITableViewCell on the screen.
3. Set the class as First Responder.

You are done.

Answer 2

This blog post describes, how to add it manually.

edit
in iOS4+ the line

NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@”CustomCell” owner:self options:nil];

can be replaced by a more efficient nib handling via UINib.
see this blog post how to do it, and how to stay backwards compatible.
