UITableViewCell not visible in UITableView - ios

Question

I have a UITableView on the ViewController. Here is complete code
import UIKit
class UnitTableViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var unitTable: UITableView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.unitTable.register(UnitCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "UnitCell")
self.unitTable.delegate = self
self.unitTable.dataSource = self
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 5
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = unitTable.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "UnitCell", for: indexPath) as! UnitCell
cell.unitNameLbl?.text = "TEST"
return cell
}
}
But unfortunately my custom cell is not visible. I've put green background colour to be sure that constraints are right.
Here is my UnitCell code
import UIKit
class UnitCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var unitNameLbl: UILabel?
#IBOutlet weak var unitNumberLbl: UILabel?
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
What could be wrong if I can't see my custom cell?

Answer 1

try this following into viewDidLoad
unitTable.register(UINib(nibName: "yourCellClassName", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "UnitCell")

Answer 2

You can't directly use class name of cell because you'r using XIB of cell so you must need to register cell with nib name like below.
let nib = UINib(nibName: "YourTableViewCellNibName", bundle: nil)
self.unitTable.register(nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: "UnitCell")

Answer 3

change registering cell to table code as below.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.unitTable.register(UINib(nibName: "UnitTable", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "UnitCell") // nibName should be exact name of xib file of your custom cell.
self.unitTable.delegate = self
self.unitTable.dataSource = self
}
