Question

All,

I have a table view that I need to react differently when a cell is clicked with string X in it vs string Y. X would take you to to X View (XViewController) and Y would take you to Y View (YViewController), etc etc. Where would be the best place to insert this if statement, and how would I make it transition to the correct view?

Thanks

You want to implement

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

Then you can access the cell in question to read the string and present the appropriate view controller.

For example:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    if ([cell.text isEqualToString:stringX]) {
        XViewController *xvc = [[XViewController alloc] init];
        [self presentModalViewController:xvc animated:YES];
        [xvc release];
    } else {
        YViewController *yvc = [[YViewController alloc] init];
        [self presentModalViewController:yvc animated:YES];
        [yvc release];
}

Then, in whichever viewController is pushed, you can dismiss it with

[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
