How to make tableView scrollable in Swift

Question

I have a UITableView which uses self sizing cells. Now the problem is the cell height is getting changed according to the content size but it is not scrollable. How can I make it Scrollable in Swift.items is a String array of 5 elements. This is my code. As far as I have read the documentation tableviews should be automatically scrollable. But I can only see the first two items and half of the third item. Here is the source code of Project Dropbox Link

class ViewController: UIViewController,UITableViewDelegate {
let basicCellIdentifier = "BasicCell"
var items = ["admksalmdlsamdlsamdlkasmdlasmdlsamdlksamdlkasmdlkasmdlksamdklasmdlkasmdlkasmdlkasmdcjkndscnksndcdkcnksdjcnksdnckjsdncsdnjkanckjanckjsnckjasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckdslnjcvlkjdncjsnjkasncjkasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckjsanckjsanckjasncjksancjksancjksancjkasncjasncjkasncklas;NKCNDJKVALNVJKSDANCKSCNJSNCJKSDCNKJSDNCKJANCDKNLSACNJDKCNJKNCAKJNACJKNKJANCKJSNC","badmksalmdlsamdlsamdlkasmdlasmdlsamdlksamdlkasmdlkasmdlksamdklasmdlkasmdlkasmdlkasmdcjkndscnksndcdkcnksdjcnksdnckjsdncsdnjkanckjanckjsnckjasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckdslnjcvlkjdncjsnjkasncjkasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckjsanckjsanckjasncjksancjksancjksancjkasncjasncjkasncklas;NKCNDJKVALNVJKSDANCKSCNJSNCJKSDCNKJSDNCKJANCDKNLSACNJDKCNJKNCAKJNACJKNKJANCKJSNC", "cadmksalmdlsamdlsamdlkasmdlasmdlsamdlksamdlkasmdlkasmdlksamdklasmdlkasmdlkasmdlkasmdcjkndscnksndcdkcnksdjcnksdnckjsdncsdnjkanckjanckjsnckjasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckdslnjcvlkjdncjsnjkasncjkasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckjsanckjsanckjasncjksancjksancjksancjkasncjasncjkasncklas;NKCNDJKVALNVJKSDANCKSCNJSNCJKSDCNKJSDNCKJANCDKNLSACNJDKCNJKNCAKJNACJKNKJANCKJSNCSDNSAJKDNAKLSMDLAKSDMKLASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMLAKSMDLASMDLAKSMDLKASMDLKASMDLKASMLKADSMLKASMDLKASMDLKMadmksalmdlsamdlsamdlkasmdlasmdlsamdlksamdlkasmdlkasmdlksamdklasmdlkasmdlkasmdlkasmdcjkndscnksndcdkcnksdjcnksdnckjsdncsdnjkanckjanckjsnckjasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckdslnjcvlkjdncjsnjkasncjkasncjkasnckjasncjkasnckjsanckjsanckjasncjksancjksancjksancjkasncjasncjkasncklas;NKCNDJKVALNVJKSDANCKSCNJSNCJKSDCNKJSDNCKJANCDKNLSACNJDKCNJKNCAKJNACJKNKJANCKJSNCishan","cool1"]

items is an array of 5 elements but all elements have very large number of characters. — Adam Young

technically tableview inherits from uiscrollview,so in your case tableview should be scrollable by default,what is the problem you are getting? — Akash Shinde

Do all 5 items are appearing in 5 different rows of table view? — Sivajee Battina

Pardon me if I understand your question wrong, add some more string values to items and let us know whether it is scrollable or not — Sivajee Battina

I have just run your project and I think I found the problem. You are not calling the configureTableView method anywhere.

I made the following change:

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.configureTableView()
        tableView.reloadData()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

The result i get is:

enter image description here

Hope this was the result you were trying to achieve. Let me know if you need more help.
