Collection View Cells not appearing in Collection View?

I created a Collection View using purely the storyboard interface builder. This is what the storyboard looks like:

Storyboard

My collection view's properties are default as well. I haven't written anything into my ViewController.swift yet.

Collection View

For some reason, when I run on my phone / emulator, none of the buttons are showing.

Just configure the collectionView properly see below code and image:

Implement the delegate methods of collectionView:

class yourClassController: UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate {

override func numberOfSectionsInCollectionView(collectionView: 
    UICollectionView!) -> Int {
    return 1
}

override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView!, 
    numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return yourArray.count
}

override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView!, 
cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> 
     UICollectionViewCell! {

     let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("CollectionViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as CollectionViewCell

     // Configure the cell
     cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
     cell.textLabel?.text = "\(indexPath.section):\(indexPath.row)"
     cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(named: "circle")



    return cell
}

Then from your storyboard set the delegate and datasource by drag and drop see image:

enter image description here

Note: collectionView appears when you do complete above formality with its relevant class.

UICollectionView does not support static cells like UITableView. You will have to set its dataSource,delegate and configure your cells in code.
