I have found many a post on this, but I can’t get it. I have a TableView inside a UIViewController and so I have to have dynamic (prototype?) cells. I am trying to get familiar with Storyboard and IB. Here is what I have:

This is a UIViewController witha View on top and a UITableView on bottom with the custom cells
enter image description here

The colors are a UIView added to the cells for the top 3, and a UIImageView with a color image set on the bottom one (to test which one would work…. so far neither have.)

Here is the sidebar:

enter image description here

I have added the UIView/UIImageView as the backgroundView for all the Cells.

When I run this program, I get blank cells, and no colors. What am I doing wrong? Does it have to be done programmatically? Thank you!!

    You either need to use static cells, or you have to implement the table view datasource protocol in your view controller.

    Easiest way is to switch the table view to static and design away in IB to your heart’s content. Both images and background color will work.
