Collection View Cells not appearing

Question

I want to display as many collectionViewCells with buttons as there are strings in my array. but when I start the simulator there is just the backgroun

Answer 1

Ideas:

• Check if your cell reuse identifier is set up.
• Check if you've set the collection view subclass correctly in the storyboard.
• Put print statements inside your cellForItemAtIndexPath function to see if it's being called ever.
• Not sure if this should be an issue, but Array is actually a type in Swift. Using that as your variable name might be messing with the logic somehow. Rename it to array (lowercase). I believe this is best practice for variable names anyway.
• Do something else to the cell in cellForItemAtIndexPath, such as changing the background color. If that works, maybe there's just something wrong with what you're doing with tags.
