Question

This question already has answers here:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath is not being called
(4 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I know the title is illustrating enough, and I KNOW that this question has been ask a couple of times, but in this case I couldn't manage to make it work.
I already have worked with UITableViews and they all have been working fine, but this time, I even checked my code with other working copies, but it is not working.
So, here's the story :
I have a table view in one of my view controller's in storyboard with a custom class named ContactViewController, and it is connected to code using an outlet named favContactsTable
Here are related parts from its .h and .m :
ContactViewController.h
#interface ContactViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource>
// Other Stuff
.
.
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *favContactsTable;
.
.
// Other Stuff
#end
And here is implemented functions of UITableViewDataSource protocol :
ContactViewController.m
// Rest of the code
.
.
.
.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 5;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"TEST OUTPUT");
//Test
int a = 1; // Breakpoint
a++;
cell = [self.favContactsTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"FavContactCell"];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"FavContactCell"];
}
cell.textLabel.text = #"FAV";
.
.
.
}
I have another button in my view controller that reloads data for this table, but when I press it none of the breakpoints is triggered and no log is printed, none of the functions are being called. Here's the code for that button :
- (IBAction)refreshTables:(id)sender
{
[self.favContactsTable reloadData];
}
I checked almost every part with my other projects that has a dynamic table view like this, and I can't figure out what's wrong.
Please do not mention other similar questions as duplicates, because I already have read them all ( or at least, most of them ) and I'm sure I'm not returning 0 rows for each section, and I'm sure favContactsTable is not nil when I send reloadData message to it and ... etc !
Any idea that may help is really appreciated.

Answer 1

#interface myViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource> {
}
set delegate
drag to your viewcontroller icon
check your cell identifier as same in your code also
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"SimpleTableCell"];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
reuseIdentifier:#"SimpleTableCell"];
}
return cell;
}

Answer 2

try this code :
#interface ContactViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate >
.
.
.
and then in viewDidLoad add delegate to your tableview property example :
self.favContactsTable.delegate = self;

Answer 3

You did not confirmed these protocols :UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate.Add this to your file.
and after that:
favContactsTable.delegate=self;
favContactsTable.datasource=self;
and attach directly from your Xib file.
