Initwithstyle:Reuseidentifier: Not Called

initwithstyle:reuseIdentifier: not called

If your cell is being created from a storyboard prototype (which you have declared as the custom class in IB) then it won't be created with initWithStyle... but initWithCoder: instead, like any other object loaded from a nib. If you have any setup code, it should be in there or in awakeFromNib.

Custom UITableVIewCell initialization not called

If the cells come from a storyboard or nib file, then initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier is not called, initWithCoder: is called instead.

Here's a typical implementation of an overwritten initWithCoder::

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self) {
       // Do your custom initialization here
    }
    return self;
}

Will not work if you need to access IBOutlet during custom initialization.

Overriding custom cell initWithStyle method but it's not being called

This initializer is called only when you call it explicitly. If you are loading your cells from a nib/storyboard, it won't be called.

Typically, we override awakeFromNib method to customize cells loaded from nibs.

- (void)awakeFromNib {
    [super awakeFromNib];

    self.buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.button1, self.button2, self.button3, self.button4, nil];
    self.labels = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.label1, self.label2, self.label3, self.label4, nil];
}

Another note - instead of creating your buttons array from button1, button2 etc. you can use an IBOutletCollection, e.g.

@property (nonatomic) IBOutletCollection NSArray *buttons;

and connect the buttons directly from Interface Builder but note that it doesn't keep the objects in any specific order.

initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle) not called

The solution was simple

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    NSLog(@"initWithCoder");

    self = [super initWithCoder: aDecoder];
    if (self)
    {

    }
    return self;
}

custom initWithStyle: method

You don't normally create your own styles and if you dequeue a reusable cell this way, it doesn't call initWithStyle:.

You should probably add your own "style" property to MyTableViewCell with a different name and then set that property once you dequeue the cell.

Another way is to have different cell classes if the design of the cell is different. They can have a common base class if they share a lot of code.

no @interface for 'UITableView' declares the selector 'initWithStyle:reuseIdentifiers

UITableView *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];

should be

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];

you should allocate a UITableViewCell not UITableView like what you've done here.

   //should be **UITableViewCell**
      cell = [[[UITableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:identifier] autorelease];

and dont forget to return it later.

return cell;

awkakeFromNib,initWithCoder,initWithFrame not being called

The designated initializer for a UITableViewCell is initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier:, as is stated in the class reference. If you are not using a xib or storyboard to create your cell, that's the initializer that should be called.
