UITableView embedded in UIView, empty rows - ios

Question

I am working on a new application and I have some problems:
I am developing everything programmatically, so I created a SCROLLVIEW and a CONTAINERVIEW for all my pages. containerView is embedded in scrollView.
Every page has a different Controller, in this case "SearchViewController".
The containerView contains the UIView "selectView" that belongs to "SearchViewController". See below:
let scrollView: UIScrollView = UIScrollView()
let containerView: UIView = UIView()
//SCROLLVIEW
scrollView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, view.frame.width, view.frame.height)
self.view.addSubview(scrollView)
//CONTAINERVIEW
containerView.frame = CGRectMake(menuWidth, 0, view.frame.width, view.frame.height)
containerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
scrollView.addSubview(containerView)
let s: SearchViewController = SearchViewController()
s.setup(bannerHeight, containerViewWidth: containerView.frame.width, containerViewHeight: containerView.frame.height)
containerView.addSubview(s.selectView)
import UIKit
class SearchViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
let selectView: UIView = UIView()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
let table: UITableView = UITableView()
var items: [String] = ["A", "B", "C"]
var filteredItems = [String]()
func setup(bannerHeight: CGFloat, containerViewWidth: CGFloat, containerViewHeight: CGFloat){
//SELECT PAGE
selectView.frame = CGRectMake(0, bannerHeight, containerViewWidth, containerViewHeight - bannerHeight)
//UITABLEVIEW
table.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, selectView.frame.width, selectView.frame.height)
table.delegate = self
table.dataSource = self
table.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
selectView.addSubview(table)
}
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView:UITableView)->Int
{
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
print("tableViewCOUNT")
return self.items.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
print("tableViewMAIN")
let cell:UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell")! as UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel!.text = items[indexPath.row]
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.DisclosureIndicator
return cell
}
}
So now i have this hierarchy: ScrollView<-containerView<-selectView<-table
The problem is that no data appear! In output I can see "tableViewCOUNT" but never "tableViewMAIN" and except for the empty rows there are no data.
Could somebody help me to understand why?
Am I using the correct way? I would like to have a mainController and for every page a subController, then I will embed the page I need inside the containerView (like an iframe in html).
Thank you in advance!

Try calling
table.reloadData()
in the setup.
