POUITableView in Storyboard appears empty
text
Body
copied!<p>It's my first time using Storyboard to build an app. I'm trying to create a UITableView with a custom cell. I've created the cell in IB and created a custom tableViewCell class for it (added some labels, created appropriate outlets, connected them in IB and assigned the custom class to the custom cell in IB).</p> <p>In the ViewController responsible for the TableView I create the data source (a dict with some arrays) and fill out all the obligatory methods (I've tried both with UITableViewControler and with a UIViewController that is set as a delegate and data source for the tableview)</p> <p>And when I run the app - the tableview is empty. And after doing some NSLogging I've noticed that the data source methods are never executed. And I have NO IDEA why. </p> <p>I'm going crazy about this for a few hours now. Please help me out :)</p> <p>Let me know if you need to see the code or Storyboard, or whatever else. </p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Alright, after some digging, I've decided to test out the same code but using an NSMutableArray as data source instead of a NSMutableDictionary. And it works! Now, could someone explain to me why it didn't work with a dict?</p> <p>Here's what did. I had a dict with 5 arrays, and each array had 5 strings. </p> <p>In the numberOfRowsForSection method, I returned [dict count]</p> <p>And in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method, I've used this code</p> <pre><code>NSArray * routeArray = [dealsDict objectForKey:@"route"]; cell.routeName.text = [routeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; NSArray * companyArray = [dealsDict objectForKey:@"company"]; cell.companyName.text = [companyArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; NSArray * priceArray = [dealsDict objectForKey:@"price"]; cell.priceLabel.text = [priceArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; NSArray * dateArray = [dealsDict objectForKey:@"date"]; cell.dateLabel.text = [dateArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; NSArray * monthArray = [dealsDict objectForKey:@"month"]; cell.monthLabel.text = [monthArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; NSLog(@"I'm in here"); return cell; </code></pre> <p>why didn't it want to show anything?</p>
