Question

I have a TableView that is populated with data. When a user taps a row, a new TableView opens with more data to choose from. This data changes based on the row the user taps. Much like an application where the user chooses from a list of car makes, and then models. Is it possible to handle a situation like that with a TableViewController for the car makes, and 1 TableViewController for the models? Or would there be 1 TableViewController for the makes, and then a separate TableViewController for each make’s set of models? I don’t know the best way to approach this 🙁 I’m making an app of my own which is very similar in structure and I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No, your models controller would serve for all makes. It would be passed an ID of the make requested and then fetch the necessary data accordingly.

Something like this might be of some help:

But I think the foundation of your problem is not necessarily to be found in a working example of your exact needs, but more in general tutorials for ios development.

Sorry if I have assumed you’re just beginning ios development. I might be able to improve this answer if a more specific need is clarified (like how do I pass the ID to the model controller) etc
