how to use a UITableView without a UITableViewController

Question

I want to use a UITableView as a single selection in my own ViewController, now I can display it but fail to fill the cell or get wrong on how to fill the cell's textlabel. Any suggestion? ...

Answer 1

Implement the protocols for UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate in .h or .m then connect the tableview with the first responder -datasource and -delegate in interface builder and support the protocol required classes in your .m.

For datasource it is: cellForRowAtIndexPath and numbersOfRowsInSection.

Set your cell.textlabel.text in your cellForRowAtIndexPath method.
