Table View not populating objects

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"GenusNameCell";

    GenusNameCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[GenusNameCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"GenusNameCell"];


        cell.GenusNameLabel.text = [genusName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];

    }

    return cell;
}

I have a tableview with an Array of objects but when I run it. Nothing shows up. Im fairly new to xcode but Im not sure what my mistake is in the code. Can some one help me out?

If the cellForRowAtIndexPath callback is never called, it could be:

  • you didn't have set the dataSource of your tableview;
  • you didn't implement the numberOfSectionsInTableView: and/or tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: callbacks.

And if you dequeue your cell, you need to set the text outside the if branch like this:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"GenusNameCell";

    GenusNameCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[GenusNameCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"GenusNameCell"];
        [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
    }
    cell.GenusNameLabel.text = [genusName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    return cell;
}

Change the code like this your code will run,

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"GenusNameCell";

GenusNameCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[GenusNameCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"GenusNameCell"];

    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];

}
cell.GenusNameLabel.text = [[genusName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] geniusname];

return cell;
}

geniusname is the NSString you stored the name of the person.
