Connecting a CollectionView to a ViewController, Getting Error when connecting dataSource-Swift-XCode

Question

I can connect the delegate, however, when connecting the data source I am getting the following error:

Here is my view controller class :

import UIKit

class ViewControllerGallery: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate {

var tableData: [String] = ["img1" , "img2"]
var tableImages: [String] = ["file1.png", "file2.png"]

var collectionView: UICollectionView!

override func viewDidLoad() { 
    super.viewDidLoad() 
    collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.frame) 
    collectionView.dataSource = self 
    collectionView.delegate = self 
    collectionView.registerClass(UICollectionViewCell.self,     forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell")

    self.view.addSubview(collectionView) 

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view. 

}

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

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return tableData.count
}


func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    let cell : ColViewCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath : indexPath) as ColViewCell
    cell.labelCell.text = tableData[indexPath.row]
    cell.imgCell.image = UIImage(named : tableImages[indexPath.row])
    return cell //UICollectionViewCell()
}


func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    println("Cell \(indexPath.row) selcted")
}

}

Here is my 'cell' class where have connected the cells image and label to:

import UIKit

class ColViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {

@IBOutlet var imgCell: UIImageView!

@IBOutlet var labelCell: UILabel!

}

Your error is self-explanative enough. In place, where you set collectionView.dataSource you have an error source - instead of something implementing UICollectionViewDataSource you set UIView instance.

I think, you need something like

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    collectionView.dataSource = self;
 }

Thanks for your answer! I'm not sure I have set collectionView.dataSource anywhere? I have used the following to try correct :

user3069397 Over a year ago

var collectionView: UICollectionView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: self.view.frame) collectionView.dataSource = self collectionView.delegate = self collectionView.registerClass(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell") collectionView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor() self.view.addSubview(collectionView) // Do any additional setup after loading the view. }

Oh, I have changed it to what I think you mean? Thanks again

Yes, thats it. So, does it work now? Looks like it should

Are you using Interface Builder?
