Display problems in Parse.com Tableview

I am trying to get data into my tableview, but can't seem to figure this out. I keep getting a "use of undeclared identifier 'cell'" error when I try to populate my tableview for the ribbit app:

  • (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { PFObject *junkballers = [_junkArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; [cell.textLabel setText:[junkballers objectForKey:@"name"]];

}

Check if you put a Cell Identifier in the Storyboard Cell.

maybe you need to initialize the cell variable too :P

I have the cell identifier as 'Cell'. Still doesn't work. I am about to bleed out the ears.

Try another more meanful name like junkballerCell.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { 

static NSString * CellIdentifier = @"junkballerCell";

// Use the correct method, I have not a Mac for test this code right now :P
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView reuseCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

PFObject *junkballers = [_junkArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; 

[cell.textLabel setText:[junkballers objectForKey:@"name"]];

return cell;
}

This worked! Thanks so much! I think I just had to rename the identifier.
