Swift: Table view superclass error

I have created a slide out menu using Swift. I have done this many times before, but when I created it today, I get this error (see screenshot). It could just be a simple mistake I have made.

Here is the code, that I think is causing the problem:

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

    var cell:UITableViewCell? = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell")! as UITableViewCell

    if cell == nil{
        cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: "Cell")

        cell!.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
        cell!.textLabel!.textColor = UIColor.darkTextColor()

        let selectedView:UIView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: cell!.frame.size.width, height: cell!.frame.size.height))
        selectedView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.3)

        cell!.selectedBackgroundView = selectedView
    }

    cell!.textLabel!.text = tableData[indexPath.row]

    return cell
}

UPDATE: I have tried removing override

Hope someone can help!

Solution

  • The method does not override any method of the superclass because the signature is wrong.

    The correct signature is

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

    All parameters are non-optional types.

    And use also the recommended method

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellIdentifier,
                                           forIndexPath: indexPath)

    which also returns always a non-optional type
