Question

So I’ve created the default TabBar example in monotouch. In my case, I’ve replaced the two viewcontrollers content with tableviews.

Now once the end user clicks on a row, we should be able to navigate to a details page that is not one of the tabs.

In the:

  public override void RowSelected (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)

section I can’t seem to use pushviewcontroller. Is there an example of this? I’ve seen the examples of showing an alert in rowselected:

  new UIAlertView ("Row Selected", rows [indexPath.Row].Title, null, "OK", null).Show ();
  tableView.DeselectRow (indexPath, true); 

but I’m trying to navigate to a details page that wouldn’t be one of the tabs.

Any help? I’m a newbie with Mono so any sample code would be appreciated.

There are quite a few other questions can help with this:

• UITableView navigation in monotouch
• How to navigate to a view controller when a specific row is selected in tableview?

The MonoTouch docs also have a lot of good stuff – download and run the samples on http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/Guides/User_Interface/Tables and you will be a master in no time.

The sample in NavItemTableSource.cs may be particularly useful for you.
