Question

I am having an issue pushing my view controller from a tableview that was dropped into a viewController, and not a TableViewController.

I have found a thread on here with a solution here

pushViewController is not pushing

The problem is.. I have done his solution and my view still does not push. I have connected my tableview via ctrl+drag to the view controller and set both the dataSource and delegate. In the post i mentioned, they say the solution was to ‘create a referencing outlet from the tableview to the view controller.’ But I don’t exactly know what that means. So help with that would be good as well. I have followed this tutorial and am stuck on step 9 obviously.

The line of code not triggering is

[self.navigationController pushViewController:facility animated:YES];

My code is as follows…

viewTable methods

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{   
 NSLog(@"list Size: %@",list);
    return [list count];
}

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

if(cell == nil){
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
CustomerListData *customer = [self.list objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = customer.facilityName;

// cell.textLabel.text = @"Detail";
return cell;
}

-(void)setValue:(NSMutableArray*)array
{ 
//NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
list = array;
}

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

FacilityMissionListViewController *facility = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"facilityMissionList"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:facility animated:YES]; 
//UINavigationController* navController = self.navigationController;
}

the very last commented out line is there to check if navigationcontroller was null. It is not.

From what I have gathered the issue here lies in the fact the table view is inside the view controller and its not a “tableviewcontroller.” This method apparently works if that is the case, but some other steps must be taken if not.. but I don’t know them.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like your NavigationController is not set up correctly. Could you post the code that sets it up?
