UITableView not display contents - ios

Question

I am trying to populate a UITableView in my viewcontroller (it is a delegate of UITableView)
The code below is something I've found online. I've made some changes so that I didn't need a UITableViewController in order to use it. However since I changed it, I am unable to figure out how to get the text to print in the cells. Before changing the code to allow my ViewcController subclass to be a delegate of UITableView. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
I have checked and the XML is parsing correctly. When the code reaches the if (marrXMLData.count != 0) in the startParsing method, marrXMLData is greater than 0 (8 being specific, the correct and total number of items in my XML)
code is from: http://www.theappguruz.com/blog/xmlparsing-with-nsxmlparser-tutorial
.m is below
DisplayTableViewController
#synthesize marrXMLData;
#synthesize mstrXMLString;
#synthesize mdictXMLPart;
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self startParsing];
}
- (void)startParsing{
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"file.xml"]];
NSXMLParser *xmlparser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:fileData];
[xmlparser setDelegate:self];
[xmlparser parse];
if (marrXMLData.count != 0) {
[self.myUITableView reloadData];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict;{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"Content"])
marrXMLData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"item"])
mdictXMLPart = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string;{
if(!mstrXMLString)
mstrXMLString = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:string];
else
[mstrXMLString appendString:string];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName;{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"title"] || [elementName isEqualToString:#"url"]){
[mdictXMLPart setObject:mstrXMLString forKey:elementName];
}
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"item"])
[marrXMLData addObject:mdictXMLPart];
mstrXMLString = nil;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection: (NSInteger)section{
return [marrXMLData count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = [[[marrXMLData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"title"] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [[[marrXMLData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"url"] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
return cell;
}
#end
EDIT:
After playing with it some more this method is not being called
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
In the example code it is being called, but I'm not sure where. (Sorry, I am very new to iOS)

It sounds like your table view's delegate and/or dataSource links are not connected. If you set up the table view scene in IB (Interface Builder) then you just control-drag from the table view onto the view controller.
