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

try this:

override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    return 1
}

i had this stupid problem too

Answer 2

You should declare your view like this @interface MyView : UIView <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>

BTW: I would have a ViewController that "controls" your view and your tableview, and have the ViewController be the delegate and datasource of the table view.

Answer 3

I ran into the same issue once, what silly mistake I did was inside initWithCoder I called [super init]. TableView was in xib

-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    self = [super init]
}

Instead of

-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
}

Just check if that's not the case

Answer 4

I accidentally set my tableView's allowsSelection property to false.

Storyboard solution

Select your table view and set the following...

Swift solution

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tableView.allowsSelection = true
}

Notes

1. At first, I thought this was a UITableViewDelegate issue (as other answers suggested). It wasn't. I linked it to my view controller in my storyboard.
2. Next, I thought it was a UITableViewDataSource issue, in that I didn't implement the protocol's numberOfSections(in tableView:) method (as other answers suggested). It wasn't. According UIKit's documentation,

// Default is 1 if not implemented

3. Finally, I checked the settings on my table view :]

Answer 5

I had a similar problem, my solution was because I did not set the number of sections to 1.

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 1;
}

Answer 6

Try changing your UIViewto UIViewController and in viewDidLoad, call

[[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:style:] to create your Table View.

Set self as the delegate and data source like you did above, and then add this UITableView as Subview in this Controller.
