FirstViewController tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:] error with Static Cells

Question

I'm making an app with a table view with static cells. In the storyboard, the table has labels and switches. However, when I try run the program on the simulator, I get the following errors:

"FirstViewController tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance"

and

"Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[FirstViewController tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance "

I tried implementing the following methods (even though it seems as if I don't need to since I'm using static cells):

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

However, when I ran the app, I got a blank table.

Can anyone advise? I am pretty new to iOS programming, so any help would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks,

Jordan

UPDATE:

I think my problem is that I am using static cells without a UITableViewController. Is there any way I can use static cells without a UITableViewController?

Answer 1

Connect the " dataSource " of your table view (in the XIB or Storyboard file) to point to your view controller and see if you have better luck.

Also, make sure your FirstViewController.h conforms to the " UITableViewDataSource " protocol. In your .h file, it should look like this:

@interface FirstViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>

The "delegate" declaration there also means your view controller can handle any delegate methods also, provided you connect the table view to your controller.
