- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath is not being called - ios

Question

So its really weird... I have a ViewController called ListEventsViewController
in the header file:
#interface ListEventsViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *eventsTable;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *events;
#end
In the Implementation I am calling the pretty much mandatory functions below:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return [events count];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
return 1;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
cell = [eventsTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"eventCell"];
if(!cell){
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:#"eventCell"];
}
NSString *textLabelTitle = [[events objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"];
NSString *textLabelDetail = [[events objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"date"];
//cell.imageView.image = someimage;
NSLog(#"Text Label Title: %#", textLabelTitle);
NSLog(#"Text Label Detail: %#", textLabelDetail);
cell.textLabel.text = textLabelTitle;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = textLabelDetail;
return cell;
}
The problem is the function - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{ is not being called so the cells arent being populated. also the number of cells isnt being allocated either. What could be causing this?
It looks wired up to me heres a picture of the h and IB.

Answer 1

You illustrated in your screenshot that you have linked the table to its IBOutlet, but you haven't linked the table view's delegate or datasource to your controller and therefore your tables delegate methods such as cellForRowAtIndex will not be called. Linking these should fix your problem.

Answer 2

I have this & this must b your solution
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if (cell==nil) {
cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
mysampleimage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(3,3, 40, 40)];
mysampleimage.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"a.png"];
mysampleimage.tag=13;
[cell.contentView addSubview:mysampleimage];
myButton = [[UIButton alloc]init];
myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
myButton.frame = CGRectMake(165, 10, 65, 30.);
[myButton setTitle:#"Show" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
myButton.tag = 14;
[cell addSubview:myButton];
lbl = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 6, 200, 43)];
lbl.tag=12;
[cell.contentView addSubview:lbl];
}
else
{
lbl=(UILabel *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:12];
mysampleimage=(UIImageView *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:13];
myButton = (UIButton *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:14];
}
myButton.accessibilityLabel = lbl.text;
[myButton addTarget:self action:#selector(myShow:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
return cell;
}

Answer 3

You can use the following lines in your coding:
tableview.delegate = self;
tableview.datasource = self;
