Question

My goal is to make a navigational Table View iOS app, with each cell representing a different PDF. All PDFs will be local.

I based my Table code off of a tutorial.

RootViewController.m

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

     NSString *selectedRoute = [listOfItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

     DetailViewController *dvController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    dvController.selectedRoute = selectedRoute;
     [self.navigationController pushViewController:dvController animated:YES];
     [dvController release];
    dvController = nil;
}

I based my UIWebView code off of this video tutorial.

DetailViewController.m

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    NSString *endereco = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Clinton" ofType:@"pdf"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:endereco];
    NSURLRequest *urlEndereco = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [webView loadRequest:urlEndereco];
    [self.view addSubview:webView];
    webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.navigationItem.title = @"Selected Route";
}

I replaced the textbox from the Table tutorial with the UIWebView, but I’m just getting a blank view when I run it. What else do I have to add to allow my pdf to appear?

Answer 1

your DetailViewController doesn’t have the code from viewDidLoad that you have written, it just says:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    //Display the selected route.
    lblText.text = selectedRoute;

    //Set the title of the navigation bar
    self.navigationItem.title = @"Selected Route";
}

I also fixed your outlets in detail view controller, view should point to the encapsulating view, not the webView made a new outlet called webView connected to the webView.
