How to interact with UITableView in UIViewController?

Question

I am addicted to use TableViewController in storyboard whose class directly inherits from UITableViewController and functions like:

- (UITableViewCell *)tabl         


        

Answer 1

Implement UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate protocols in your view controller .h file.

Have an outlet for the UITableView.

In viewDidLoad, set the tableView's datasource and delegate to self since the viewcontroller implements the protocol.

Then, write the cellForRowAtIndexPath method. It will be getting called.

Answer 2

You have to assign UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDatasource protocols to your table and implement it. Methods in your question are methods from these protocols and they appears automatically when you use UITableViewController.
