Swift Question
UITableView does not conform to protocol UITableViewDataSource error
Question 1)
I've spent a few hours trying to figure out this problem, from what I've read those are the two functions needed to implement the UITableView but it still gives me the error in the title:
import UIKit
class UITableView: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate
{
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
}
}
Question 2)
The TableView is a part of a tabbed view controller that I am implementing for my app. I want my TableView controller to have entries that once pressed will open another ViewController. How can I implement something like that?
Thank you in advance

You have incorrectly set up your ViewController. Either create a UITableViewController which is just a UITableView, or add a UITableView to a UIViewController (Like you have almost done).
The didSelectRowAt method will allow you to segue to a new viewController, but in my examples only if it is set up correctly in a storyboard.
UITableViewController option
class TableViewController: UITableViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
return 0
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
return 0
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier", for: indexPath)
// Configure the cell...
return cell
}
// MARK: - Table view delegate
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: false)
performSegue(withIdentifier: "SegueIdentifier", sender: self)
}
UIViewController option
(The UITableView will need to be added through a Storyboard in this example)
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.delegate = self
tableView.dataSource = self
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
return 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
return 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier", for: indexPath)
// Configure the cell...
return cell
}
// MARK: - Table view delegate
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: false)
performSegue(withIdentifier: "SegueIdentifier", sender: self)
}
