Why the cellForRowAt method is not getting called - uitableview

Question

-> I have taken a class which is a child of NSObject in that class I have created the tableView object.
-> The numberOfRowsInSection & cellForRowAt methods are in the same class
-> I have even assigned the object of the same class to the dataSource & delegate property
So my problem is the numberOfRowsInSection is getting called but the cellForRowAt is not getting called. I am just getting a tableView without any cell.
-> I have checked that the numberOfRowsInSection is not returning 0
Please Check The Code Below:
This is the class that I have created. I am creating the object of this class in a UIViewController child class
NOTE:-
1) I have called the configureTV() function in the init method.
In this configureTV() I have assigned both the dataSource & delegate property its value.
2) I have verified that the configureTV() method is getting called
3) I have verified that I am registering the reuseId for the cell
4) I have checked that the dataSource property is being assigned the reference or the object of the class successfully
5) I have verified that the numberOfRows & numberOfSection methods are being called. Even I have tried these two methods with hardcoded values as well
import UIKit
class MyClass:NSObject,UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate
{
var superView:UIView!
var tableView:UITableView = UITableView()
let value = ["A","B","C","D","E","F"]
override init()
{
super.init()
}
convenience init(superView:UIView)
{
self.init()
self.superView = superView
self.configureTV()
print("SuperView Initialized")
}
func configureTV()
{
self.tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "c")
self.tableView.dataSource = self
self.tableView.delegate = self
self.tableView.frame = self.superView.frame
self.superView.addSubview(self.tableView)
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
print(value.count)
return value.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "c", for: indexPath)
cell.backgroundColor = .green
cell.textLabel?.text = value[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
}
//-------Creating The Object Of The Above Class------------
class ABCD:UIViewController
{
override func viewDidLoad()
{
let obj = MyClass(superView: self.view)
}
}
----------------------------I Got The Solution-------------------------
I found the solution by myself but the solution is very strange.
Inside the class ABCD I have created an object as Shown below
//Code Before Being Corrected: —
class ABCD:UIViewController
{
override func viewDidLoad()
{
let obj = MyClass(superView: self.view)
}
}
Now I have done a very minor change i.e. I have made the “obj” variable as the property of the class & the
Problem got solved.
//Code After Correction Which Solved The Problem:—
class ABCD:UIViewController
{
var obj:MyClass!
override func viewDidLoad()
{
obj = MyClass(superView: self.view)
}
}
I want to know why this happened.
