Question

I am trying to make a drill down table with storyboards in a Tab bar app.
I am having a problem with working out how to get each row in a main table to point to other different tables.

This is the code I have used to detect row selection.

-(void)tableView: (UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *__strong)indexPath {
    TableViewController *table = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"table"];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:table animated:YES];

}

How do I proceed please?

Answer 1

The real beauty to UIStoryBoards are the segues.
1. You can link one prototype cell push segue to another different table view controller
2. You can link one prototype cell push segue loop back to itself for drill downs.

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"segueID" sender:MyObject];

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
  if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"segueID"]) segue.destinationViewController.chosenCell = sender;
}

If the segue is from the cell click, the sender is that of the cell and you can get it’s indexpath from the table, and pass new information to the upcoming view controller.
If you want the cell to take various paths when clicked, keep the didSelectRowAtIndexPath and call performSegueWithIndetifier so you can choose left or right.
