UITableView with multiple viewcontollers

Question

Hi, Noob at the most.

I just filled my UITableView with Planets. I would like each cell clicked to open into a new Xib (if this sounds like the wrong approach please direct). I can get a secondviewcontroller working, its getting the thirdviewcontroller and fourthviewcontroller working? Thanks.

Answer 1

Place your main view controller (the one with the table) inside a UINavigationController. Then, when the user selects a row, push a new view controller onto it.

Answer 2

The following function will help. As Ben Gottlieb said your main view controller will need to be in a UINavigationController. You need to implement the delegate method for didSelectRowAtIndexPath and this is where you create the new controller for your new view and load it.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
        YourViewController *controller =  [[YourViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"YourViewController"bundle:nil];         
        [[self navigationController] pushViewController:yourViewController animated:YES];   
        [yourViewController release]; // don't leak memory
        }

Based on the row number you can decide which nib to load.
