creating uitableview programmatically in swift not loading

Question

I'm trying to create a uitableview programmatically in swift but is not loading here is my code:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource {
    var tableView: UITableView  =   UITableView()
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        tableView.delegate      =   self
        tableView.dataSource    =   self
        tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
        self.view.addSubview(self.tableView)
    }

Any of you knows what I'm missing or what is wrong with my code?

I'll really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tableView = UITableView(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds, style: UITableViewStyle.Plain)
    tableView.delegate      =   self
    tableView.dataSource    =   self
    tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
    self.view.addSubview(self.tableView)
}

tableView = UITableView(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds, style: UITableViewStyle.Plain)

This line of code will set the frame of your tableview, with default UITableViewStyle as well.

Answer 2

late but can help others, you have to add :

tableView.translateAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

Answer 3

Try this:

 override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad() 
    let screenSize:CGRect = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds

    tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, screenSize.width, screenSize.height)
    tableView.delegate      =   self
    tableView.dataSource    =   self
    tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
    self.view.addSubview(self.tableView) 
}

You can give customize frame as: CGRectMake(x,y,width,height) Here width and height refers to desired tableview width & height
