i attempting create autosizing cell using purelayout, though json loads , correctly assigned uitableviewcell objects no data displayed.

here how attempting setup cell in custom tableviewcell class:

        self.backgroundcolor = [uicolor whitecolor];         self.accessorytype = uitableviewcellaccessorynone;         self.accessoryview = nil;         self.selectionstyle = uitableviewcellselectionstylenone;         // fix contentview constraint warning         [self.contentview setautoresizingmask:uiviewautoresizingflexibleheight];          // create profileimageview         self.profilepicture = [[uiimageview alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero];         self.profilepicture.translatesautoresizingmaskintoconstraints = no;         self.profilepicture.contentmode = uiviewcontentmodescaleaspectfill;         self.profilepicture.backgroundcolor = [uicolor whitecolor];         [self.contentview addsubview:self.profilepicture];          // name label         self.namelabel = [[uilabel alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero];         self.namelabel.translatesautoresizingmaskintoconstraints = no;         self.namelabel.font = [uifont fontwithname:@"helveticaneue-medium" size:16];         self.namelabel.textcolor = [uicolor blackcolor];         self.namelabel.numberoflines = 1;         [self.contentview addsubview:self.namelabel];          // username label         self.usernamelabel = [[uilabel alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero];         self.usernamelabel.translatesautoresizingmaskintoconstraints = no;         self.usernamelabel.font = [uifont fontwithname:@"helveticaneue-light" size:14];         self.usernamelabel.textcolor = [uicolor darkgraycolor];         self.usernamelabel.numberoflines = 1;         [self.contentview addsubview:self.usernamelabel];          // tweet label         self.tweetlabel = [[uilabel alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero];         self.tweetlabel.userinteractionenabled = yes;         self.tweetlabel.translatesautoresizingmaskintoconstraints = no;         self.tweetlabel.numberoflines = 0; // must set multi-line label work         self.tweetlabel.linebreakmode = nslinebreakbywordwrapping;         self.tweetlabel.font = [uifont fontwithname:@"helveticaneue" size:14];         self.tweetlabel.textcolor = [uicolor darkgraycolor];         [self.contentview addsubview:self.tweetlabel];          // favorite button         self.favoritebutton = [[dofavoritebutton alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero image:[uiimage imagenamed:@"star.png"] imageframe:cgrectmake(0, 0, 15, 15)];         [self.contentview addsubview:self.favoritebutton];          // retweet button         self.retweetbutton = [[dofavoritebutton alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero image:[uiimage imagenamed:@"retweet.png"] imageframe:cgrectmake(0, 0, 15, 15)];         self.retweetbutton.circlecolor = [uicolor colorwithred:0.04 green:0.83 blue:0.04 alpha:1.0];         self.retweetbutton.linecolor = [uicolor colorwithred:0.08 green:0.93 blue:0.08 alpha:1.0];         self.retweetbutton.imagecoloron = [uicolor colorwithred:0.26 green:0.96 blue:0.26 alpha:1.0];         [self.contentview addsubview:self.retweetbutton];          // reply button         self.replybutton = [[dofavoritebutton alloc] initwithframe:cgrectzero];         [self.replybutton setbackgroundimage:[uiimage imagenamed:@"reply.png"] forstate:uicontrolstatenormal];         [self.contentview addsubview:self.replybutton];          //         //  constrain         //          // name label         [self.namelabel autopinedgetosuperviewedge:aledgeleft withinset:60];         [self.namelabel autopinedgetosuperviewedge:aledgeright withinset:35];         [self.namelabel autopinedgetosuperviewedge:aledgetop withinset:12];         [self.namelabel autoalignaxis:alaxisvertical tosameaxisofview:self.contentview];          // username label         [self.usernamelabel autopinedge:aledgetop toedge:aledgebottom ofview:self.namelabel withoffset:0.0];         [self.usernamelabel autosetdimension:aldimensionheight tosize:16.5];         [self.usernamelabel autopinedgetosuperviewedge:aledgeleft withinset:58.0];          // profile picture         [self.profilepicture autopinedge:aledgeright toedge:aledgeleft ofview:self.namelabel withoffset:-10.0];         [self.profilepicture autopinedgetosuperviewedge:aledgetop withinset:12];         [self.profilepicture autosetdimension:aldimensionheight tosize:35];         [self.profilepicture autosetdimension:aldimensionwidth tosize:35];          // tweet label         [self.tweetlabel autopinedge:aledgetop toedge:aledgebottom ofview:self.usernamelabel withoffset:8.0];         [self.tweetlabel autopinedgetosuperviewedge:aledgeleft withinset:5.0]; 

here how initiate cell in uitableviewcontroller:

twittercell *cell = [self.tableview dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier:@"twittercell"];      // add tap listeners     uitapgesturerecognizer *namelabeltap =     [[uitapgesturerecognizer alloc] initwithtarget:self                                             action:@selector(handlecellnametap:)];     [cell.namelabel addgesturerecognizer:namelabeltap];      uitapgesturerecognizer *profileimagetap =     [[uitapgesturerecognizer alloc] initwithtarget:self                                             action:@selector(handlecellprofileimagetap:)];     [cell.profilepicture addgesturerecognizer:profileimagetap];      if (cell == nil) {         cell = [[twittercell alloc] initwithstyle:uitableviewcellstyledefault reuseidentifier:@"twittercell"];     }     nsdictionary *data = tweets[indexpath.row];      // nsdate     nsstring *namestring = data[@"user"][@"name"];     nsstring *screenname = data[@"user"][@"screen_name"];     nsstring *tweetstring = data[@"text"];      nsdateformatter *dateformatter = [[nsdateformatter alloc] init];     nslocale *uslocale = [[nslocale alloc] initwithlocaleidentifier:@"en_us"];     [dateformatter setlocale:uslocale];     [dateformatter setdatestyle:nsdateformatterlongstyle];     [dateformatter setformatterbehavior:nsdateformatterbehavior10_4];     [dateformatter setdateformat: @"eee mmm dd hh:mm:ss z yyyy"];      nsdate *date = [dateformatter datefromstring:[data objectforkey:@"created_at"]];     nsdate *currentdatentime        = [nsdate date];     nscalendar *calendar = [nscalendar currentcalendar];     [calendar settimezone:[nstimezone timezonewithabbreviation:@"gmt"]];     nsdatecomponents *twitcomponents = [calendar components:(nscalendarunithour | nscalendarunitminute | nscalendarunitsecond) fromdate:date];     nsinteger twithour = [twitcomponents hour];     nsinteger twitminute = [twitcomponents minute];     nsinteger twitsecond = [twitcomponents second];     nsdatecomponents *realcomponents = [calendar components:(nscalendarunithour | nscalendarunitminute | nscalendarunitsecond) fromdate:currentdatentime];     nsinteger realhour = [realcomponents hour];     nsinteger realminute = [realcomponents minute];     nsinteger realsecond = [realcomponents second];      nsinteger hour = realhour - twithour;     nsinteger minute = realminute - twitminute;     nsinteger second = realsecond - twitsecond;      nslog(@"formatted hour: %ld, formatted minute: %ld, formatted second: %ld",(long)hour, (long)minute, (long)second);      int adjustedseconds = ((int)minute * 60) - abs((int)second);     int adjustedminutes = adjustedseconds / 60;      if (hour==1 > minute > 0) {         int negmin = ((int)hour * 60) - abs((int)minute);         int posmin = abs(negmin);         nsstring *strint = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%dm",posmin];         cell.timeago.text = strint;     }else if (hour>0){         nsstring *strint = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%ldh",(long)hour];         cell.timeago.text = strint;     }else if (hour==1){             nsstring *strint = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%ldh",(long)hour];             cell.timeago.text = strint;     }else if(minute == 1 > second){         nsstring *strint = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%lds",(long)second];         cell.timeago.text = strint;     }else{         nsstring *strfromint = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%dm",adjustedminutes];         cell.timeago.text = strfromint;     }      [cell.favoritebutton addtarget:self action:@selector(favoritebuttontapped:) forcontrolevents:uicontroleventtouchupinside];     [cell.retweetbutton addtarget:self action:@selector(retweetbuttontapped:) forcontrolevents:uicontroleventtouchupinside];      // set values     [cell.namelabel settext:namestring];     cell.namelabel.userinteractionenabled = yes;     cell.profilepicture.userinteractionenabled = yes;     cell.tweetlabel.text = tweetstring;     cell.usernamelabel.text = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"@%@",screenname];      dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(dispatch_queue_priority_default, 0), ^{         nsstring *imageurl = [[data objectforkey:@"user"] objectforkey:@"profile_image_url"];         nsdata *data = [nsdata datawithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:imageurl]];         dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{             cell.profilepicture.image = [uiimage imagewithdata:data];             calayer *imagelayer = cell.profilepicture.layer;             [imagelayer setcornerradius:18];             [imagelayer setmaskstobounds:yes];         });     }); 

is tableview's delegate , datasource set? can setting:

self.tableview.delegate = self; self.tableview.datasource = self; 

in viewdidload method.

and running numberofsectionsintableview: , numberofrowsinsection: methods also?

i assume initializing cell in cellforrowatindexpath:, , remember return cells in there?
