Question

I was wondering how to make a UITableView go to a different ViewController when you press a cell. So far I have this code:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath  *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.row == 0) {       
}
}

Answer 1

It goes something like this:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath  *)indexPath
{
    if (indexPath.row == 0) {
        SomeViewController *newController = [[SomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:newController animated:YES];
        [newController release]; // leave this line out if using ARC
    }
}

WARNING: Just typed the above without looking at any documentation — if it doesn’t compile after you substitute your own view controller class name for SomeViewController, look for misspellings and such.

BTW, there’s quite a bit of documentation on this topic, and plenty of examples too. If the snippet above doesn’t solve your problem, take a look at the View Controller Programming Guide for iOS.
