UITable Cell not appearing on XIB when navigated from another XIB - ios

Question

I did an empty project on UITable Cells and it worked. Using the same code I added in to an existing project where there are multiple xib linked. When navigating from another xib to this page, the table cells did appear but the content and the required number of cells did not run.
Below is the code of my current project:
OptionViewController.m:
#import "OptionViewController.h"
#import "FishAppDelegate.h"
#import "MainViewController.h"
#import "PetFishViewController.h"
#import "MarineFishViewController.h"
#interface OptionViewController ()
#end
#implementation OptionViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title =#"Choose a category :)";
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(IBAction)PetFish:(id)sender
{
PetFishViewController *petFish = [[PetFishViewController alloc]initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:petFish animated:YES];
}
// this is the sub class containing table cells
-(IBAction)MarineFish:(id)sender
{
MarineFishViewController *MarineFish = [[MarineFishViewController alloc]initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:MarineFish animated:YES];
}
#end
At the current sub class: marine fish
MarineFishController.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface MarineFishViewController : UITableViewController
{
NSMutableArray *fishList;
}
#end
MarineFishController.m :
#import "MarineFishViewController.h"
#import "MarineFish.h"
#implementation MarineFishViewController
{
/*NSArray *tableData;
NSArray *thumbnail;
*/
}
-(id) init{
//call the superclass
self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
if(self){
fishList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
MarineFish *Item1 = [[MarineFish alloc] initWithName:#"Shark" imageName:#"Sea.jpg"];
[fishList addObject:Item1];
}
return self;
}
-(id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style{
return [self init];
}
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [fishList count];
}
-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//create an instance of uitableviewcell
//check for a reusable cell first, use if exist
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"UITableViewCell"];
//if there is no reusable cell of this type,create new one
if(!cell)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"UITableViewCell"];
}
//set text on the cell
MarineFish *p = [fishList objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
[[cell textLabel] setText:[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#",[p fishName]]];
}
#end
Regarding to the table. I only added one item to the fish list which is item1 and hence should only have one cell in display.

You don't need to override init and initWithStyle: methods. Move your code from init to viewDidLoad
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
fishList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
MarineFish *Item1 = [[MarineFish alloc] initWithName:#"Shark" imageName:#"Sea.jpg"];
[fishList addObject:Item1];
}
EDIT
Error was so oblivious...
-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
Must return a UITableViewCell object. So put return cell; at the end. Here is edited MarineFishViewController.m.
