Fails to call delegate/datasource methods in UITableView implementation

Question

I have created .h and .m files for UITableView called mainTableViewgm.h and mainTableViewgm.m resp. and I am calling -initWithFr

Answer 1

I can't believe I've been doing XCode programming for two years, and still hit this issue.

I had the same problem with XCode 6.1 - I was setting my UITableView's delegate & dataSource in the viewWillAppear function, but none of the delegate functions were kicking in.

However, if I right-clicked on the UITableView on the Storyboard, the circles for delegate and dataSource were empty.

The solution, then, is to hold down the CTRL key, and drag from each of these circles up to the name of your UIView which contains your UITableView:

After doing this, my UITableView happily populated itself.

(So, we're upto v6.1 of XCode now are we ? Do you think Apple ever going to make this thing, you know, friendly...? I would quite like to add a Bookmark in my code... that'd be a nice feature.)
