Assertion failure in dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:

Question

So I was making an rss reader for my school and finished the code. I ran the test and it gave me that error. Here is the code it\'s referring to:

- (UITableV         


        

Answer 1

I spent hours last night working out why my programmatically generated table crashed on [myTable setDataSource:self]; It was OK commenting out and popping up an empty table, but crashed every time I tried to reach the datasource;

I had the delegation set up in the h file: @interface myViewController : UIViewController

I had the data source code in my implementation and still BOOM!, crash every time! THANK YOU to "xxd" (nr 9): adding that line of code solved it for me! In fact I am launching a table from a IBAction button, so here is my full code:

    - (IBAction)tapButton:(id)sender {

    UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc]init];

    UIView* popoverView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 300)];
    popoverView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
    popoverContent.view = popoverView;

    //Add the table
    UITableView *table = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 300)         style:UITableViewStylePlain];

   // NEXT THE LINE THAT SAVED MY SANITY Without it the program built OK, but crashed when      tapping the button!

    [table registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:@"Cell"];
    table.delegate=self;
    [table setDataSource:self];
    [popoverView addSubview:table];
    popoverContent.contentSizeForViewInPopover =
    CGSizeMake(200, 300);

    //create a popover controller
    popoverController3 = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
                          initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
    CGRect popRect = CGRectMake(self.tapButton.frame.origin.x,
                                self.tapButton.frame.origin.y,
                                self.tapButton.frame.size.width,
                                self.tapButton.frame.size.height);


    [popoverController3 presentPopoverFromRect:popRect inView:self.view   permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];



   }


   #Table view data source in same m file

   - (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
   {
    NSLog(@"Sections in table");
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 1;
   }

   - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section 
  {
    NSLog(@"Rows in table");

    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return myArray.count;
   }

   - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath    *)indexPath
    {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    NSString *myValue;

    //This is just some test array I created:
    myValue=[myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    cell.textLabel.text=myValue;
    UIFont *myFont = [ UIFont fontWithName: @"Arial" size: 12.0 ];
    cell.textLabel.font  = myFont;

    return cell;
   }

By the way: the button must be linked up with as an IBAction and as a IBOutlet if you want to anchor the popover to it.

UIPopoverController *popoverController3 is declared in the H file directly after @interface between {}
