I have an sqlite3 database that is loaded inside a tableview. I have also a search feature that is working correctly. I want whenever i select a cell, i will be redirected to the view controller “Details”, and printing inside it the details concerning the item selected.
I have tried to trace the selected item with indexpath.row, but whenever i perform a search, normally, the indexpath.row will automatically change.
So therefore i am stuck , how to pass a unique variable from the selected row to the details VC. i really hope someone will take the time and read the code, i have been jammed for almost 2 weeks on the same error.
The tableView is assigned to the class : AuthorVC
The detail View is assigned to the class : Details

Just use an Author
propertyin your details view controller. You need to pass it in thetableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:like this in yourshowDetailsForIndexPath:
