Assertion failure in -[UITableView _configureCellForDisplay:forIndexPath:] - ios

Question

Can anybody tell me why am I getting this error?
Here's my .m file:
#import "ListaParticipantesViewController.h"
#import "Participantes.h"
#import "ModParticipantesViewController.h"
#implementation ListaParticipantesViewController
#synthesize dao;
#synthesize participantes;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
dao = [[ParticipantesDAO alloc] init];
participantes = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
participantes = [dao getDatos];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [participantes count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"celda";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.textLabel.text = [[participantes objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]] valueForKey:#"nombre"];
return cell;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
ModParticipantesViewController *destino = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"visualizacion"];
Participantes *tmp = [participantes objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
destino.participante = tmp;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:destino animated:YES];
}
#end
and the error displayed is:

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The storyboard or XIB does not have a cell defined with the cell identifier you specified.

Answer 2

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return cell; // at the end of your method
}

Answer 3

You need to set delegate and datasource of tableview in header.
Objecitve c
<UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
Swift
class HomeViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
}

Answer 4

Have you subclassed your ListaParticipantesViewController with the classes UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource? They are needed to be able to use delegate and data source methods.
In Swift:
class ListaParticipantesViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
}

Answer 5

I got the very same error. It turns out it was the same problem, that it couldn't find my cell identifier, but for a different reason - I was subclassing UITableViewCell, but hadn't registered my .XIB file with my UITableView for a reuseIdentifier.
I solved it by resgitering in the viewDidLoad
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//LOAD XIB
UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:#"NAME_OF_NIB_FILE"
bundle:nil];
//REGISTER XIB, CONTAINING THE CELL (IDENTIFIER NAME USUALLY SAME AS NIB NAME)
[[self tableView] registerNib:nib
forCellReuseIdentifier:#"IDENTIFIER_NAME"];
}
And then creating the cell
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//GET THE RECYCLED CELL
TableCellSubclass *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"IDENTIFIER_NAME"];
//CONFIGURE THE CELL
return cell;
}
Hope this helps someone!

Answer 6

In my case I had a simple mistake..
My number of rows was defined by array.count.
When I refreshed this array I was removing all the objects, initiating the connection, adding the objects to the array and then reloading the tableview.
I put the objects removal once the connection was completed and it solved my issue.
