Question

As my first Objective-C project ever I need to implement the following on didSelectRowAtIndexPath

You can ignore everything at the second line that says “Sikkerhed”. All I want is a new view to pop up along with the keyboard when a cell in my UITableView is pressed. The data being set and the text being shown will change depending on which row was selected. How do I go about implementing something like this? Do I need a new UIViewController for this view?

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Code
}

Answer 1

You will have to:

1. create an UITableViewController

2. Set the tableview’s style to grouped

   In your code:

3. Fill the tableview like in this tutorial:
   http://windrealm.org/tutorials/uitableview_uitextfield_form.php

4. Present your viewController in didSelectRowAtIndexPath:

   • Create an instance of UINavigationController and set the modalPresentationStyle to fill only a part of the screen:

     navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
     

     (You can find more information about modalViewControllers and ModalPresentionStyle e.g. here)

   • Push an instance of your custom UITableViewController on the navigation controller:

     [self.navigationController pushViewController:anotherViewController];
     

Hope this helps
