cell.detailTextLabel.text not working... why

Using the following code I am getting the text.label but not the detailTextLabel.text. The NSLog is displaying correctly.

cell.textLabel.te开发者_开发百科xt = [eventLabels objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];  
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [eventFields objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];  

NSLog(@"%@", [eventFields objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]);  

I also tried...

cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [eventFields objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];     

I have not had problems with this before. Any suggestions?

Make sure you're using an appropriate UITableViewCellStyle with this (anything but UITableViewCellStyleDefault should thus work). The cell's style is specified when you initialize it.

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

if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle 
                                   reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}

Do remember to change to UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle

If you choose style UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle , your detailTextLabel.text will show

cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle 
                               reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] ;
