Swift - UITableView inside UIViewController, UITableView functions are not called

Question

I inserted a tableview inside a UIViewController. But my code is not working. When I checked I found that none of the tableview functions are not called.

    class CustomViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {          @IBOutlet weak var authorArticlesTableView: UITableView!          var authorid: Int!         var authorname: String!         var articles: [JSON]? = []          func loadArticles(){             let url = "http:here.com/" + String(authorid) + "/"             println(url)             Alamofire.request(.GET, url).responseJSON { (Request, response, json, error) -> Void in                 if (json != nil){                     var jsonObj = JSON(json!)                     if let data = jsonObj["articles"].arrayValue as [JSON]?{                         self.articles = data                         self.authorArticlesTableView.reloadData()                     }                 }             }         }         override func viewDidLoad() {             super.viewDidLoad()             self.loadArticles()             println("viewDidLoad")         }           func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {              println("numberOfRowsInSection")             return self.articles?.count ?? 0         }           func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {             var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomCell") as! CustomTableViewCell             cell.articles = self.articles?[indexPath.row]             println("cellForRowAtIndexPath")             return cell         }            func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {             performSegueWithIdentifier("WebSegue", sender: indexPath)              tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)         } 

Any solution for this?

Thanks,

Answer 1

You have to set your view controller as a table view delegate/datasource:

add to the end of the viewDidLoad:

authorArticlesTableView.delegate = self authorArticlesTableView.dataSource = self 

Answer 2

Set table delegate and dataSource :

override func viewDidLoad() {     super.viewDidLoad()      tableView.delegate = self     tableView.dataSource = self }
