Why is UICollectionViewCell's outlet nil?
interface-builder, ios, ios8, swift, uicollectionviewcell
Solution
I am calling `self.collectionView.registerClass(LeftMenuCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "ls")` again. If you are using a storyboard you don't want to call this. It will overwrite what you have in your storyboard.
If you still have the problem check wether `reuseIdentifier` is same in `dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier` and in `storyboard`.
Problem
I have created a custom UICollectionViewCell in Interface Builder, binded views on it to the class, and then when I want to use and set a string to the label on the string, tha label has a nil value. ``` override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Register cell classes self.collectionView.registerClass(LeftMenuCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "ls") } override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView!, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UICollectionViewCell! { var cell: LeftMenuCollectionViewCell cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("ls", forIndexPath: indexPath) as LeftMenuCollectionViewCell println(cell.label) // <- this is nil, why?? cell.label.text = "asd" return cell } ``` And the subclassed cell: ``` class LeftMenuCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell { @IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView! @IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel! @IBOutlet weak var activityIndicatorView: UIActivityIndicatorView! } ```
