Question

I have a feed that lists news items, click on one and you get taken through to the detail view. I do this through the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method where I declare the detail view controller etc.

Is it possible to have a mixed feed whereby some of the links will be videos and others will remain links through to the detail view. So if a user clicks on the link that’s a video then the video player kicks in, otherwise it’s business as ususal and they go through to the other view.

The source is a JSON feed so I would need to switch the destination based on reading one of the JSON nodes and seeing if the file ending was another page or a video file.

Answer 1

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

    if([YourOptiontype isEqual:@"video"])
    {
        // Push to Video View   
        }
    else if([YourOptiontype isEqual:@"business"])
    {
        // Push to business View    
    }

    NSIndexPath *tableSelection = [theTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
    [theTableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:tableSelection animated:NO];
}
