custom UITableViewCell - not showing

Question

I'm new to Swift. I try to make a custom looking TableView and added a prototype cell in StoryBoard

I made custom class which I added in the inspector for the cell

Here it's code :

class SearchTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet var routeDescriptionLbl: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet var ivRoute: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet var distanceLbl: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet var routeNumberLbl: UILabel!


    override func awakeFromNib() {
     //still empty yet
        super.awakeFromNib()

    }

    override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
        super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

        // Configure the view for the selected state
    }
}

Now i made an identifier :

And here's the View Controller for the whole view (partially):

class SearchViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate{

    var transportData : [RouteModel] = []

    override func viewDidLoad() {
                super.viewDidLoad()
        fillMockup()
        self.lvMain.reloadData() //in case it's needed after mockup is filled

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {

        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {

        NSLog("viewDidAppear")
    }

    func fillMockup(){
//just some mockup data to test if it's working
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "44", description: "Ярославль - Сан Тропе",dist: "200 m"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_TRAM,routeNumber: "11", description: "Ярославль - Сан Тропе",dist: "400 m"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_R_BUS,routeNumber: "1", description: "Ярославль Главный - Жопа Мира",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_TROLLEY,routeNumber: "24", description: "Ярославль - Малые Гребеня",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "43", description: "Ярославль - Малые Гребеня",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "43а", description: "Ярославль - Малые Гребеня",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "85б", description: "Ярославль - Брагино",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "38", description: "Ярославль - Брагино",dist: "2.4 км"))
    }

    public func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int{
        NSLog("transportData.count = \(transportData.count)")
        return transportData.count
    }

    public func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("reuseIdentifier") as? SearchTableViewCell
        if let cell = cell {
            cell.routeNumberLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].routeNumber
            cell.routeDescriptionLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].description
            cell.distanceLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].dist

            return cell
        }

        return UITableViewCell()

    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
                   didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath){
        NSLog("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!")
        let position = indexPath.row;
        tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: false)
    }
}

Now, not any Log from table view is being called. An of course, TableView is not shown

What's the problem?

If you are using storyboard then remove this line from viewdidload function

self.tableView.register(CustomTableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: cellReuseIdentifier)

It worked for me.

Add Two line inside viewDidLoad() function

self.yourtableviewname.delegate = self
self.yourtableviewname.dataSource = self

do like

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell: SearchTableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("reuseIdentifier") as! SearchTableViewCell

     cell.routeNumberLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].routeNumber
        cell.routeDescriptionLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].description
        cell.distanceLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].dist

    return cell
}

updated answer

override func viewDidLoad() {
                super.viewDidLoad()
          self.lvMain.delegate = self // invoke data source and delegate on current class
         self.lvMain.dataSource = self
        fillMockup()



    }

  func fillMockup(){
//just some mockup data to test if it's working
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "44", description: "Ярославль - Сан Тропе",dist: "200 m"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_TRAM,routeNumber: "11", description: "Ярославль - Сан Тропе",dist: "400 m"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_R_BUS,routeNumber: "1", description: "Ярославль Главный - Жопа Мира",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_TROLLEY,routeNumber: "24", description: "Ярославль - Малые Гребеня",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "43", description: "Ярославль - Малые Гребеня",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "43а", description: "Ярославль - Малые Гребеня",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "85б", description: "Ярославль - Брагино",dist: "1.4 км"))
        transportData.append(RouteModel(type: RouteModel.TYPE_BUS,routeNumber: "38", description: "Ярославль - Брагино",dist: "2.4 км"))

      self.lvMain.reloadData() //reload the table when does loaded perfectly 
    }


func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell: SearchTableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("reuseIdentifier") as! SearchTableViewCell

     cell.routeNumberLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].routeNumber
        cell.routeDescriptionLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].description
        cell.distanceLbl.text = transportData[indexPath.row].dist

    return cell
}

for additional example see this

It is happening due to your cell is always create a new instance because it is not coming in if part. So check if your cell is nil then create a instance of your cell like this..

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{

    var cell: MyCell! = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("reuseIdentifier")

    if cell == nil {
                tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "MyCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier")
               cell =tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(identifier) as? MyCell
            }
    return cell
  }
}

Here MyCell is the custom cell.

You need to self tableView Delegate and Datasource either in viewDidLoad or from Stroyboard.

override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  tableViewName.delegate = self
  tableViewName.dataSource = self
}

You can check whether you forgot to do anything from below two steps

1)Cross Check whether you have connected Datasource, Delegate and IBoutlet For tableview ?

2)Check whether you have set identifier in Storyboard is same as reuseIdentifier ?
