Reload data is not calling cellForRowAtIndexPath: - ios

Question

I've been banging my head against the wall since I thought I tried everything possible on stackoverflow.
So currently I am creating a table like this
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSLog(#"CHECK IF THIS IS CALLED");
static NSString *CellIdentifer = #"CellIdentifier";
CBPeripheral *placeHolder;
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifer];
// Using a cell identifier will allow your app to reuse cells as they come and go from the screen.
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifer];
}
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
placeHolder = _connectedPeripherals[indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = placeHolder.name;
}
return cell;
}
and I am calling [self.tableView reloadData] from another function that I call. I know it's getting called in that function, but cellForRowAtIndexPath does not get called again.
I created a UITableView property on my .h file
#property (strong, nonatomic) UITableView *tableView;
And created the table like this
self.tableView = [[UITableView alloc] init];
self.tableView.rowHeight = 60.0f;
self.tableView.delegate = self;
self.tableView.dataSource = self;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[self.view addSubview:self.tableView];
[self.view addConstraints:#[ [HTConstraints leftAlignView:self.tableView
toView:self.view
withSpacing:5],
[HTConstraints topAlignView:self.tableView
toView:self.view
withSpacing:5],
[HTConstraints rightAlignView:self.tableView
toView:self.view
withSpacing:5],
[HTConstraints bottomAlignView:self.tableView
toView:self.view
withSpacing:5],
]];
So far what I've tried was making sure that [self.tableView reloadData] was being called in the Main thread. Making sure my sections did not return 0.
Edit
This is my reloadData function and is called in another class
by [[RootViewController sharedInstance] reloadData]; and the log prints when I call it.
- (void)reloadData {
NSLog(#"Reloading");
[self.tableView reloadData];
}

Answer 1

set a break point inside -(void)reloadData or try to append the count of your UITableView datasource in your NSLog.
Usually cellForRowAtIndexPath is not getting call because it does not have anything to display.

Answer 2

I saw, in your code you forgot to add your tableView as a subView to the controller.
Add below code after your tableView's initialization
[self.view addSubview:tableView];
