Push the values to new ViewController when a cell is tapped - objective-c

Question

I have table view that populated with plist called "Htgg".
I am trying to push the value to a new view called "DetailViewController".
This is the code:
#import "Glist.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#implementation Glist
#synthesize htgg,detailViewController;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
self.title = NSLocalizedString(#"ofek", #"ofek");
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationItem.title = #"איך להוציא גימלים?";
NSString *htggFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"Htgg" ofType:#"plist"];
htgg = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: htggFile];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [htgg count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
id keys = [htgg allKeys];
//Get all the keys in the first dictionary (the keys are: "good", "funny", "New - Item 3")
//This is an array, so you can do this: array[0] (in C#)
//Here we tell the tableview cell. to put in the text - [keys objectsAtIndex:indexPath.row]; if the row is 0, we will get: "good", if 1, we will get "funny"
cell.textLabel.text = [keys objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// Return NO if you do not want the specified item to be editable.
return NO;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
DetailViewController *showPickedSolution = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:showPickedSolution animated:YES];
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
}
#end
The code works perfect but it doesn't push the value of the row( all the rows of plist are string type and above the there is 'Root').
I need your help to push the value to another view(DetailViewController).

Answer 1

make a property in your DetailViewController of the same type as of your data you want to push then use
DetailViewController *showPickedSolution = [[DetailViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"DetailViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
showPickedSolution.yourPropertName = [htgg objectAt:indexPath.Row];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:showPickedSolution animated:YES];
you can now access the passed dat in your DetailViewController in your property.
Please check the syntax.

Answer 2

I have done this in two different way depending on the scenario:
1) Delegate, when I fill some values on a form that I want to pass back to the original screen.
2) Storyboard Segue, when I want to send some value(s) to a second screen.
I usually put all the values I want in an array to send the object and then at arrival I extract what I need.
Instead of explaining each way, I can refer you to Getting Started section of the iOS Dev Site.
I hope it help!

Answer 3

To achieve this you can made an NSString property in class DetailViewController and set that property in didSelectRowAtIndexPath. Here is the code for your reference:
showPickedSolution.valueToBeSent = [htgg valueForKey:[[htgg allKeys] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
You can use this valueToBeSent in your DetailViewController class.
