Question

I create a table with two sections. Each section has four cells.I want to push to a new view by navigation controller when a certain cell is pressed by user.

However there are two sections. I don’t know how to distinguish the cell selected belongs to which section in

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

Please give me some tips. Thank you very much.

Here’s my TableViewController.m

#import "TableViewController.h"
#import "LondonController.h"
#import "NewYorkViewController.h"
#import "ParisViewController.h"
#import "TokyoViewController.h"

@implementation TableViewController

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {

    }
    return self;
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [super dealloc];
    [tableDataSource release];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}

    [super viewDidLoad];

    UITableView *table = [[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460) style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
    [table setDataSource:self];
    [table setDelegate:self];   

    tableDataSource = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];

NSMutableArray* sec1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[sec1 addObject:@"London"];
[sec1 addObject:@"New York"];

[sec1 release];

[sec2 addObject:@"Elton John"];
[sec2 addObject:@"Michael Jackson"];
[sec2 addObject:@"Little Prince"];
[sec2 addObject:@"SMAP"];
[tableDataSource addObject:sec2];
[sec2 release];

[self.view addSubview:table];

[table release];

In

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

you should check indexPath.section value to determine the section of the selected cell.
