How to show UITableView Cell in UITableView without array? - ios

Question

I have this code:
class UserProfilViewController: UIViewController {
// Outlets
#IBOutlet weak var userProfileTableView: UITableView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.tabBarController?.navigationItem.title = "Profil"
}
}
// MARK: - Table View Data Source
extension UserProfilViewController {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "UserProfilCell", for: indexPath)
return cell
}
}
My project in bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/trifek/karta-nauka/src/master/
I placed one tableviewcell cell on the tableview (UserProfil.storyboard). I have a form on it that I would like to display in this cell. The problem is the cell does not display. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

As per the code you have shared, Please change your code to following.
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "UserProfilCell", for: indexPath) as! UserProfilTableViewCell
return cell
}
Let me know in case of any queries.

Answer 2

IMHO, first try to clear your requirements. If you want to display fix number of cells then you can simply use static cells. If your cells are dynamic i.e their number depends on some calculation or other logic, then you can use dynamic cell. While using dynamic cell, verify if you have registered it or not (if you are using xib for cell) and also verify for the cell identifier.

Please use the below code for this.
class UserProfileViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
setUIComponents()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
private func setUIComponents(){
registerNibs()
}
}
extension UserProfileViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource{
internal func registerNibs(){
tableView.register(UINib(nibName: String(describing: UserProfileTableCell.self), bundle: Bundle.main), forCellReuseIdentifier: kUserProfileCellReuseId)
}
//MARK: TableView Methods -
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 5
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let sessionCell: UserProfileTableCell.self = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: kUserProfileCellReuseId, for: indexPath) as! UserProfileTableCell.self
cell.titleLabel.text = “TEST”
return sessionCell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}
}
class UserProfileTableCell: UITableViewCell {
//Set the "kUserProfileCellReuseId" in nib to register identifier.
let kUserProfileCellReuseId = "kUserProfileCellReuseId"
//MARK: - Override Methods
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
setUIComponents()
}
private func setUIComponents(){
}
}

You never declare that your view controller conforms to the UITableViewDataSource or UITableViewDelegate protocols. Given that you don't do that, you would not be able to set your view controller as the data source or delegate of your table view.
