Bold fonts in UITableView cell

I am trying to get the both the textLabel and the detailTextLabel fonts on my UITableViewCell to be bold. I easy got the textLabel to be bold like this:

- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSManagedObject *managedObject = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    NSString *titleString = [managedObject valueForKey:@"title"];
    NSMutableAttributedString *string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:titleString];
    [string addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:kFontSize] range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)];
    cell.textLabel.attributedText = string;

    cell.detailTextLabel.text = [managedObject valueForKey:@"subtitle"];
    cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
}

However when I try to make the detailTextLabel bold like this:

- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSManagedObject *managedObject = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    NSString *titleString = [managedObject valueForKey:@"title"];
    NSMutableAttributedString *string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:titleString];
    [string addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:kFontSize] range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)];
    cell.textLabel.attributedText = string;

    NSString *subtitleString = [managedObject valueForKey:@"subtitle"];
    NSMutableAttributedString *string2 = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:subtitleString];
    [string2 addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:kSubFontSize] range:NSMakeRange(0, string2.length)];
    cell.detailTextLabel.attributedText = string2;
    cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
}

This crashes the app with a SIGABRT error.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I have try the same code in my project, but it work well. I think you can try to check 'titleString' and 'subtitleString'. if the two variant is nil in some cell, the code will crash in NSMutableAttributedString init message.

To change the text to bold, keeping everything else the same (font, color, ...):

cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithDescriptor:[cell.textLabel.font.fontDescriptor fontDescriptorWithSymbolicTraits:UIFontDescriptorTraitBold]
                                            size:cell.textLabel.font.pointSize];

ditto for cell.detailTextLabel.font

  • Pertaining to your question in title "Bold fonts in UITableView cell"

  • To bold the Table Cell texts, you can achieve in a easy way like below.

    [cell.textLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:...];
[cell.detailTextLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:...];
