Conform to protocol in ViewController, in Swift

Question

Trying to conform to UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate inside a Swift UIViewController subclass.

class GameList: UIViewController {      var aTableView:UITableView = UITableView()      override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()         aTableView.delegate = self         aTableView.dataSource = self         self.view.addSubview(aTableView)         //errors on both lines for not conforming     }  } 

Docs say you should conform on the class line after the : but that's usually where the superclass goes. Another : doesn't work. Using a comma separated list after the superclass also doesn't work

EDIT:

Also must adopt all required methods of each protocol, which I wasn't initially doing.

Answer 1

You use a comma:

class GameList: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {     // ... } 

But realize that the super class must be the first item in the comma separated list.

If you do not adopt all of the required methods of the protocol there will be a compiler error. You must get all of the required methods!

Answer 2

As XCode6-Beta7 releases,

I noticed the protocol method of UITableViewDataSource changed a little bit and sounded the same conform to protocol error which worked fine in beta6.

These are the required methods to be implemented according to the UITableViewDataSource protocol:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { // insert code}  func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { // insert code } 

You might want to re-check the difference or re-implement the delegate method that you thought you just implement.
