Question

I am using this to determine which view to go to next, from the result as input from UITableView. The following code isn’t working, but I think it should be!

Do you see anything wrong with it?

NSString *option = [menuArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];


if (option == @"New Transaction"){

      NTItems *nTItemsController = [[NTItems alloc] initWithNibName:@"NTItems" bundle:nil]; 
      [self.navigationController pushViewController:nTItemsController animated:YES];
      [NTItems release];
} else if ([option isEqualToString:@"Previous Transactions"]){
} else if ([option isEqualToString:@"Reprint a reciept"]){
} else if ([option isEqualToString:@"Settings"]){
} else if ([option isEqualToString:@"Logout"]){
             LoginViewController *nTItemsController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];  
             [self.navigationController pushViewController:nTItemsController animated:YES];
             [nTIemsController release];    

}

Each item/object is defined as follows:

[menuArray addObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                      NSLocalizedString(@"Logout", @"Logout"), @"title",
                      nil,
                      nil]];

If menuArray contains dictionaries, you can get to the title key in the current option like this:

NSDictionary *option = [menuArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

NSString *optionTitle = [option objectForKey:@"title"];

if ([optionTitle isEqualToString:@"New Transaction"]) {     
    NTItems *nTItemsController = [[NTItems alloc] initWithNibName:@"NTItems" bundle:nil]; 
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:nTItemsController animated:YES];
    [nTItemsController release];
}
else if ([optionTitle isEqualToString:@"Previous Transactions"]) {
} 
else if ([optionTitle isEqualToString:@"Reprint a reciept"]) {
} 
else if ([optionTitle isEqualToString:@"Settings"]) {
} 
else if ([optionTitle isEqualToString:@"Logout"]) {
    LoginViewController *nTItemsController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:nTItemsController animated:YES];
    [nTItemsController release];    
}   

By the way, “receipt” is spelled wrong in “Reprint a reciept”.
