Question

I’m having some problems with a couple lines of code that are causing my iPhone app to not build. It’s part of a lesson in BNR’s new “Objective-C Programming” book. Since it just came out on Kindle (isn’t even in print yet), there’s no addendums or corrections yet.

I’m guessing I have some syntax wrong — if there’s any more code before or after I need to add let me know.

Thanks!

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
 numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{ 
    // Because this table view only has one section, 
    // the number of rows in it is equal to the number 
    // of items in our tasks array 
    return [tasks count]; 
} 

edit: people are asking for some more code so I’m going to add it to pastebin — I don’t want to spam the page here. Here’s the header file, here’s the method file.

Answer 1

The tableView dataSource methods needs to be in the @implementation block (.m file), not @interface (.h file). Just cut the code from .h and move it to .m file and it should be fine.
