Question

I’ve used the following code in a normal UIViewController with some other contents, the table view is on the bottom part of the view:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 1;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
 // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return [names count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"namen";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    // Configure the cell...
    NSString *cellValue = [names objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.textLabel.text = cellValue;

    return cell;
}

And a NSMutableArray called names (with 4 objects)

This code doesn’t work with a UITableViewController, either… You’ll need to create your table view cell in -tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:. When you dequeue cells, the return value might be nil, if there are no cells that can be dequeued.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"namen";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    // Create the cell if it could not be dequeued
    if (cell == nil)
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    // Configure the cell...
    NSString *cellValue = [names objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.textLabel.text = cellValue;

    return cell;
}
