Question

I have a tableview inside a view control on a registration screen. When a row is selected in the table, I want to simply close the view that contains the tableview. Something like this:

public override void RowSelected (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
    registrationScreen = new RegistrationScreen();
    registrationScreen.subView.Hidden = true;
}   

I am not sure that I am supposed to be creating a new instance of the registration screen, because the subview is null after I do that and of course it doesn’t work. I think I am missing something really simple, but I am at a loss on how to accomplish. Any help on what I am missing?

Answer 1

I have a lot of problems with encapsulation myself on iOS. I’m always fighting stuff like, how do I access this class from over here inside this one?

A simple way is to pass in the RegistrationScreen to your UITableViewSource:

private class YourDataSource : UITableViewSource {

    RegistrationScreen screen;

    public YourDataSource(RegistrationScreen screen) {
        this.screen = screen;
    }

    //rest of class
}

Pass in the instance of your RegistrationScreen, then you can access screen in your RowSelected.

Is this on the right track with your question?
