Table View content in cell is not displayed

Question

Hey there,

I want to create a TableView displaying datas the user created in the View before.

Just for testing I tried to set Strings manually so that I know the TableView is working correctly.

In storyboard I created a TableViewController with a TableView and a Cell. The Cell has the style "Subtitle" and the Indentifer "Cell".

The code in the matching class file is the following:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath)

        // Configure the cell...
        cell.textLabel?.text = "Test"
        cell.detailTextLabel?.text = "Test2"

        return cell
    }

Anyone knows what I did wrong?

Best regards

Xcode

Answer 1

hi,

we'd have to see more code, but the questions that need answering right away are:

is your ViewController set as the delegate and datasource for the TableView?

what's your definition for

func numberOfRows(inSection: Int) -> Int

without these, no rows will be shown in the UITableView.

you'd probably also eventually want to add the code for

func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int

(although this defaults to 1)

hope that helps,

Answer 3

Another thing to test is whether the func is called

So add a print inside

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

Thank you.

In fact numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int and tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int has had return value 0.

So I changed it to 1 and now it works 😄
