NSTableView doesn't show content data - objective-c

I'm trying to show some content in my NSTableView in my mac app.
#implementation OpenTasksViewController {
NSMutableArray *tasks;
}
- (id)init {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
tasks = [NSMutableArray array];
[tasks addObject: [[Task alloc] initWithTitle:#"HI"]];
}
return self;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)tableView {
return [tasks count];
}
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row {
NSTableCellView *cell = [tableView makeViewWithIdentifier:tableColumn.identifier owner:self];
Task *t = [tasks objectAtIndex:row];
cell.textField.stringValue = t.title;
return cell;
}
This class implements the NSTableViewDataSource and NSTableViewDelegate protocols.
Sadly, my app doesn't show the content.
I tried using reloadData, but that didn't work either.
When I debug into the project, the stringValue of cell.textField is correct.

You have no closing } at the end of the prepareForSegue:sender: method. Formatting and indenting properly makes this clear.
You have code just floating outside of a method (the lines before the tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method.
There needs to be a proper pairing of { and } and code needs to be inside methods or functions.

In your own implementation of numberOfRowsInSection you must return numberOfRows + 1. But then you must write your code considering you have more cells than query returning. Check out your heightForRowAtIndexPath and others methods: there can be calls to [self.objects objectAtIndex:self.objects.count]. I mean, if indexPath.row == self.objects.count, its a "Load More" cell.
If you overriding willSelectRowAtIndexPath or didSelectRowAtIndexPath, you must do this in the top of method
[super tableView:tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
or add this (previous case is prefered)
if (indexPath.row == self.objects.count)
{
[self loadNextPage];
}
Customization of Load More cell placed in -(PFTableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForNextPageAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
And im using
-(PFTableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath
instead of
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:

My second level detail controller is not showing the initWithObjects in my array in the viewDidLoad method

I am creating a Two Level table view. And the second view is supposed to have the list of the movies I have listed below in my viewDidLoad method, but it is not showing.(You can see my screen shots attached)Does anyone know which file where I can look to see why it is not showing? The code below is from my DisclosureButtonController.m file which is to display this information after I hit the Disclosure Buttons instance on the First Level screen.

Why not start the array with the VC instead of after the VC loads? Try overriding the init method.
- (id) init {
if((self == [super init])) {
//load your array here and set
}
return self;
}
That way, on older devices, you don't have to wait after the view loads to see the array. But, however, this is my preference. I love to override init methods and create my own.
Also, for some weird reason on my SDK, I have to use NSMutableArray instead of NSArray or it won't work. Maybe you have the same issue?
Also, I've noticed NSString *selectedMovie. Instead of using just "row", use the getter indexPath.row.
Hope these suggestions helped!
Call:
[self.tableView reloadData]; (put in place of self.tableView the var or property connected to the tableView)
after the:
self.list = array;
code line in the viewDidLoad method
and put a
NSLog(#"number of rows: %d", [self.list count]);
in
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [list count];//
}
to check if it is not zero.

Your implementation of numberOfSectionsInTableView: returns 0, which means the table view should always be empty. Since returning 0 from this method doesn't make sense, I guess it's a typo.

cellForRowAtIndexPath returns null but really need similar method

I have a UITableView in my UITableViewController (lol, obviously) but I need to get a cell at a given index inside the - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated method.
Now, my cells are static and I create them in the interface builder. If I call
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:previously_selected_cell.integerValue inSection:0]];
it returns null for the cell. I only have 3 static cells in 1 sections. I tried both sections 0 and 1 and both return null.
Currently I have removed the - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method because if I add it, it will clear the UITableView of all my static cells.
Is there a method I can call in - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated that will return a cell at a given index?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I checked out this stackoverflow question but I'm using static cells without cellForRowAtIndexPath so that question didn't help. :(
EDIT2: I'm trying to set the accessory type of the cell when the view loads. But only on a certain cell, that cell being the one the user selected before he quit the app.

I have a project doing exactly this and it works perfectly. However, it doesn't work unless you call [super viewWillAppear:animated] before trying to access the cells in this manner.
The base implementation presumably loads in the cells from the storyboard.
I want to add a checkmark accessory to the previously selected cell,
the previously_selected_cell variable gets stored even if the app
quits/crashes
The way to go will be to control the indexPath in your cellForRowAtIndexPath implementation and act if it's equal to previously_selected_cell.integerValue:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// usual cache lookup, allocation of the cell, etc
if (indexPath.row == previously_selected_cell.integerValue) {
// add checkbox here
} else {
// remove checkbox
}
}
