[solved] Checklist: creating cell via code is not working

📚 Official Books iOS Apprentice

Hello guys,

I am stucking at multiple checklists. The lists in [Checklist] aren’t showing up. My steps:

  1. add TableViewController to story board
  2. make new TableViewController rootController
  3. make a segue from new TableViewController to “former” ChecklistViewController
  4. delete the “table view cell”
  5. add code to AllListViewController

AllListViewController.swift:
`import UIKit

class AllListsViewController: UITableViewController {

// MARK: - variables

var lists: [Checklist]

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    lists = [Checklist]()
    
    super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    
    var list = Checklist(name: "Birthdays")
    lists.append(list)
    
    list = Checklist(name: "Groceries")
    lists.append(list)
    
    list = Checklist(name: "Cool Apps")
    lists.append(list)
    
    list = Checklist(name: "To Do")
    lists.append(list)
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    // Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations
    // self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = false
    
    // Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
    // self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem()
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}


// MARK: - Table view data source

override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
    return 0
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
    return lists.count
}


override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = cellForTableView(tableView)
    let checklist = lists[indexPath.row]
    cell.textLabel!.text = checklist.name
    cell.accessoryType = .DetailDisclosureButton
    
    return cell
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    performSegueWithIdentifier("ShowChecklist", sender: nil)
}

func cellForTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cellIdentifier = "Cell"
    if let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellIdentifier) {
        return cell
    } else {
        return UITableViewCell(style: .Default, reuseIdentifier: cellIdentifier)
    }
}

/*
// MARK: - Navigation

// In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    // Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
    // Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
}
*/

}

I create the cell with cellForTableView but shouldn’t I tell where to put the cell in?

Found my problem.

override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
    return 0
}

Function should be deleted or return 1 help :slight_smile:
