Pushing View from UITableView Problem

Question

Basically, what I want is to be able to press a record in a table, and have it push to another view.

To do this, I created a nib file and a UIViewController subclass (for the "pushed" view). I set the nib file's "File Owner" to be the controller I created. EDIT: I also then set the "view" field of the controller to be the View. Then, in the view controller of the table that will push that view, I set the didSelectRowIndexAtPath: method to include the following:

SearchTableController *vc = [[SearchTableController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SearchTable" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
[vc release];

(where "SearchTableController" is the name of the UIViewController subclass and "SearchTable" is the name of the nib file)

However, when I run this code and click on the record, nothing happens- the app doesn't crash, but the view doesn't get pushed. The code is getting run, because it works when I NSLog(), but it doesn't seem to be pushing the view.

Thanks for any help in advance.

You are really close, but did you tie the view in the nib file to the view field of the view controller?

EDIT: So the view is connected, and your code looks just fine. I just pulled a piece of my own code:

// show theme settings
ThemeController * theme = [[[ThemeController alloc] 
                            initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped] autorelease];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:theme animated:YES];

Have you checked if self.navigationController is non-nil?

Couple of things I'd try at this point:

• just hard-code the view to come up as the root view, verify it works
• put a couple of NSLogs in the viewWillLoad, viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear in the client view controller

Best of luck.
