UITableView delegate and dataSource methods not getting called

Question

I have a UIView which contains a UITableView. The tableview\'s delegate is set to my UIView, but it never calls the delegate methods:

-(id)init {
    self = [sup         


        

Answer 1

You do not need to use a UIViewController, that's just a smokescreen. You also do not need to add to the .h, although you should do that anyway because Xcode will complain otherwise, and you won't get method name auto complete.

I just wrote a test project that embeds a table view in a normal UIView and it works fine. Just make sure your initialization code is being called. I bet you need to move it to awakeFromNib.
