didSelectRowAtIndexPath is not working

Question

In my app I want to catch reactions from my UITableView but I do not why it doesn't work:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
 NSLog(@"touched!");
}

I defined the delegate

@interface TableViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate>

I ticked the "user interaction enable" from the nib file showed the delegate to the files owner.

I also write tableView.delegate = self; to the viewDidLoad. What am I missing?

im having the same problem and no one was able to help me either. no idea what is causing this issue but its extremely annoying — Jordan Brown, Sep 08 '12 at 13:42

What about cells? Are you using something that prevents delegate to fire? — Lorenzo B, Sep 08 '12 at 13:52
@Flex_Addicted I am planning to but not yet. My table view is just empty. — death7eater, Sep 08 '12 at 13:59
If it's empty then no cells can receive the taps..because there are no cells. Populate the table with something and it should work. — Maciej Trybiło, Sep 08 '12 at 14:01
The problem could be that. Try to use a dummy data source and see what happens... — Lorenzo B, Sep 08 '12 at 14:06
Expanding on @Flex_Addicted's comment, post your `cellForRowAtIndex` method. — Mick MacCallum, Sep 08 '12 at 14:32
Not just could be, the problem is definitely that. How can a row be selected when there are zero rows? — borrrden, Sep 08 '12 at 15:09

Try making the delegates connection in the IB. and check that you declare this:UITableViewDataSource

along with UITableViewDelegate.

Be sure you have the UITableViewDataSource delegate in your header as well.

I did it but nothing changed:/ – death7eater Sep 08 '12 at 13:58
link the datasource in Interfacebuilder too. Also, make sure there's something in your array that's filling the table, or else it won't recognize/populate the table to be selected in the frist place – Eric Sep 08 '12 at 14:00

Set the datasource for your table. Put some data in the table n then see if the delegate is called. If it still doesn't then, usually the problem with delegate not getting called is that its not getting set properly.! so, double check your code..:)
