Hi,
Everything works fine when the view that holds my table is the main (first) view.
However, when it's not the first view and I switch into that view, my table does not load data and I get an empty table.
Using NSLog I can tell that the program is not invoking numberOfRowsInSection and cellForRowAtIndexPath.
I have <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>, IBOutlet UITableview *tableView all declared. They are also connected in the InterfaceBuilder.
I tried using viewWillAppear and [tableView reloadData] but that did not help.
I'm new to iPhone development and your help is appreciated!
UPDATE:
I tried [tableView reloadData] but nothing happened.
I'm not releasing tableView anywhere but dealloc.
Here is some code:
appDelegate
//
// tpbAppDelegate.m
// tpb
#import "listController.h"
#import "tpbAppDelegate.h"
#import "tpbViewController.h"
@implementation tpbAppDelegate
@synthesize window;
@synthesize viewController;
@synthesize navController;
@synthesize toolbar;
@synthesize btnMyLoc;
@synthesize places; //array that holds data from the XML file
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
//add places into an array that can be used by other views (Table)
rssList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:1];
NSString *paths = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
NSString *xmlFile = [paths stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tourplay.xml"];
NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:xmlFile isDirectory:NO];
NSLog(@"DATA URL: %@", xmlURL);
NSXMLParser *firstParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL];
[firstParser setDelegate:self];
[firstParser parse];
// Resize window for toolbar:
CGRect frame = viewController.view.frame;
frame.size.height -= toolbar.frame.size.height;
viewController.view.frame = frame;
//[window addSubview:viewController.view];
navController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:viewController];
navController.view.frame = frame;
[window addSubview:navController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
- (IBAction)showList:(id)sender{
//Switch to table view on segment control change
UISegmentedControl *segmentControl = (UISegmentedControl *)sender;
NSString *curSelection = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [segmentControl selectedSegmentIndex]];
//[segmentControl titleForSegmentAtIndex: [segmentControl selectedSegmentIndex]]];
NSLog(@"pressed button %@", curSelection);
if ([curSelection isEqualToString:@"1"]){
NSLog(@"TABLE SELECTED");
listController *listTable = [[listController alloc] init];
[navController pushViewController:listTable animated:YES]; //SWITCH TO TABLE VIEW (listController)
} else {
tpbViewController *tpb = [[tpbViewController alloc] init];
NSLog(@"MAP SELECTED");
[navController pushViewController:tpb animated:YES];
}
}

-- So far, I know that viewDidLoad loads, but the table meathods such as cellRowAtIndexPath are not invoked.
SOLVED
The problem was with the way I loaded the view. I had to do this:
listController *listTable = [[listController alloc] initWithNibName:@"listController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
