How can I move to another view controller when the user clicks on a row?

Question

I am new to iPhone development, and I want to move to another page when the user clicks on a particular row. So, if they click on first row, I want the page to redirect to t

Answer 1

first of all you don't need to set different view controller for each row (unless you have a very good reason for doing that).

the correct way is to set 1 view controller that will fit all the cells in the raws and change its data according to the selected row.

the way you do that is:

in the - DidSelectRowAtIndexPath function in your implementation file you shuld:

    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
     {

//allocate your view controller
         DetailedViewController *detailedViewController = [[DetailedViewController alloc] init];

 //send properties to your view controller
         detailedViewController.property1 = someProperty1;
         detailedViewController.property2 = someProperty2;

 //push it to the navigationController
         [[self navigationController] pushViewController:detailedViewController animated:YES];
         [detailedViewController release];
    }

i do recommend that you will start by using apple examples, they are great and there are a lot of them :

Good luck

Dig into the docs:

Answer 3

You can move to another page when user tap on row by simply making segue by "Control Drag" from cell to ViewController and make segue type "Push".

Answer 4

    - (void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

          switch (indexPath.row) {
    case "X"
        // Allocate the viewController 
        [navigationcontroller.pushViewController:"yourviewcontroller" animated:YES];
        [release "yourviewcontroller"];
        break;

    default:
        break;
}
}

EDIT: Didn't realize of what you're trying. As shani said, you should not create a viewcontroller for each row if there is no need to. Try changing the datasource for each row but using the same viewcontroller. So forget this implementation.

Answer 5

It sounds like using a UINavigationController is what you want.

You then push your "first view" on to the navigation controller's stack from the table view, e.g., from you UITableView delegate:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    ...

    // indexPath.row == 0
    FirstViewController* firstVC = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName...];
    [self.navigationController firstVC animated:YES];
    [firstVC release];

    ...
}

Answer 6

Easy:

Create and push your view controller in this delegate function:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

}
