Add a UITableView to a view controller swift - ios

Question

I don't understand what am I doing wrong,
I am trying to make an add button on the navigation bar so when you click it a little table view will be open in the page bottom and the user would be able to choose what to add (photo, video, and so on..)
I connected the tableView with my cocoa touch class, as you can see it here:
class addTable: UITableView {
let addObjects = ["Add Photo","Add Video","Add Link", "Add Sound Record", "Add Sound Track"]
override func cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
var cell:UITableViewCell = dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("addItem", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel.text = addObjects[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
override func numberOfRowsInSection(section: Int) -> Int {
return addObjects.count
}
override func numberOfSections() -> Int {
return 1
}
}
I really don't understand why doesn't it work, the number of rows in the table is not even equals to the addObjects.count
I really hope you understand my question, Thank you guys!!

Answer 1

You have subclassed UITableView, but this is probably not necessary.
What you want is for this class to be the dataSource for a standard table view.
class addTable : NSObject, UITableViewDataSource{
func cellForRowAtIndexPath(tableView:UITableView!, indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
var cell:UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("addItem", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel.text = addObjects[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return addObjects.count
}
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView!) -> Int {
return 1
}
}
Then, in your view controller you can set an instance of this class as your tableview's data source -
self.myTableView.dataSource=addTable();
How you allocate and initialise the actual tableview is up to you - storyboard or through code, but it can just be a straight tableview.
