Swift custom table cell

Question

I've been trying to use Custom Table cell in my swift app, and faced a problem: My application crashes when I run my app.

My custom table cell class is SimpleTableCell (Objective-C class)

and my cellForRowAtIndexPath method (swift) is:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
    {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("SimpleTableItem", forIndexPath: indexPath)

        let data = TableData[indexPath.row]


        cell.textLabel?.text = data.description



        if (data.image == nil)
        {
            cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(named:"image.jpg")
            load_image(image_base_url + data.imageurl!, imageview: cell.imageView!, index: indexPath.row)
        }
        else
        {
            cell.imageView?.image = TableData[indexPath.row].image
        }

        return cell

    }

My app crashes with the error: unable to dequeue a cell with identifier SimpleTableItem - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard

What does it mean?

Answer 1

In the storyboard, select your tableView cell and in the attributes inspector, set the identifier to "SimpleTableItem". Hope this helps

Answer 2

dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier is trying to find a cell with the identifier "SimpleTableItem" , but it seems that you haven't given a cell that identifier anywhere. One way to do this is to choose a cell in the Table View in Storyboard, go to the Attributes Inspector and set its identifier to SimpleTableItem .
