What call should I be using instead of this deprecated method?

Question

I have a UITableViewController which creates dynamically re-sizeable cells. The cell changes the size of the cell depending on the text content and the font size. (A tip found here.)

It uses a call to the following method which is deprecated:

cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];

I have not been able to figure out which method to use instead and keeping my functionality. There is no reference in the Apple documentation.

How could I solve this?

The documentation specifically states:

Deprecated in iOS 3.0. Use initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier: instead.

I searched _initWithFrame_ and I found the wrong _initWithFrame_, where I found no reference to this information. My bad :( – Johan Karlsson Jan 31 '12 at 07:32

Try something like this.

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Standard"];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"Standard"] autorelease];
}

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) 
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
