Calling a New View when selecting a Row in a 'UITableView'
Alrighty, what we need to do is use one of the UITableView methods that are already readily available to us. We'll do the following.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
ProteinView *detailViewController = [[ProteinView alloc] initWithNibName:@"ProteinView" bundle:nil];
// It is here we'd pass information from the currently selected UITableViewCell to the ProteinView.
// An example of this is the following.
// I would do it like this, but others would differ slightly.
NSString *titleString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"iPad %d",indexPath.row] autorelease];
// title is an object of detailViewController (ProteinView). In my own instances, I have always made a NSString which in viewDiDLoad is made the self.navigationBar.title string. Look below for what my ProteinView.m and .h would look like.
detailViewController.stringTitle = titleString;
// ...
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
}
EDIT
// -------- ProteinView.m -------- //
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
// Here we set the navigationItem.title to the stringTitle. stringTitle is declared in the .h. Think of it as a global scope variable. It is also propertised in the .h and then synthesized in the .m of ProteinView.
self.navigationItem.title = stringTitle;
}
I haven't compiled this, so I don't know if it'll fully work. But that is definitely the fastest and most easiest way to do it!
