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

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 :]
