Add a UITableView to a view controller swift

I don't understand what am I doing wrong, I am trying to make an add button on the navigation bar so when you click it a little table view will be open in the page bottom and the user would be able to choose what to add (photo, video, and so on..) I connected the tableView with my cocoa touch class, as you can see it here:

class addTable: UITableView {

    let addObjects = ["Add Photo","Add Video","Add Link", "Add Sound Record", "Add Sound Track"]

    override func cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
        var cell:UITableViewCell = dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("addItem", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
        
        cell.textLabel.text = addObjects[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }

    override func numberOfRowsInSection(section: Int) -> Int {
        return addObjects.count
    }
    
    override func numberOfSections() -> Int {
        return 1
    }
}

I really don't understand why doesn't it work, the number of rows in the table is not even equals to the addObjects.count

I really hope you understand my question, Thank you guys!!

You have subclassed UITableView, but this is probably not necessary.

What you want is for this class to be the dataSource for a standard table view.

class addTable : NSObject, UITableViewDataSource{

    func cellForRowAtIndexPath(tableView:UITableView!, indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
        var cell:UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("addItem", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell

        cell.textLabel.text = addObjects[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return addObjects.count
    }


    func  numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView!) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

}

Then, in your view controller you can set an instance of this class as your tableview's data source -

self.myTableView.dataSource=addTable();

How you allocate and initialise the actual tableview is up to you - storyboard or through code, but it can just be a straight tableview.
