How to send a next button, to a UITableView - ios

Question

I am trying to get a UITableView to show up after I tap a next button, I can't get it to work...
I don't know why TimesViewController.m isn't working, how do I link it...
-(IBAction)nextView:(UIBarButtonItem *) sender{
[self pushViewController:TimesTableViewController.m animated:YES];
}

Answer 1

You need to read through View Controller programming guide. Essentially, it depends more on your application design. The most common ways of doing this are:
Tap on nextView should present TableView controller modally.
Tap on nextView should push TableView controller in the navigation stack.
With either of the approach, you need to create a separate view controller for your table view which will manage the table view and act as delegate/data source for it.
From within your button action handler you need to do it this way:
-(IBAction)nextView:(UIBarButtonItem *) sender{
MyTableViewController *tableController = [[MyTableViewController alloc] init];
// For #1 above
[self presentViewController:tableController animated:YES completion:^{
// Any code that you want to execute once modal presentation is done
}];
// For #2 above
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tableController animated:YES];
}
EDIT:
Create a initialize method on your MyTableViewController and pass the values while calling it.
- (id)initWithData1:(NSString *)iData1 data2:(NSString *)iData2 {
if ((self = [super init])) {
self.data1 = iData1;
self.data2 = iData2;
}
return self;
}
MyTableViewController *tableController = [[MyTableViewController alloc] initWithData1:#"Some String" data2:#"Another string"];
PS: You could also expose the string property in your header file of MyTableViewController and set it from the callee class

Answer 2

or if you wanna do it programmatically, in your viewDidLoad, after you created your button
[firstsessionButton addTarget:self action:#selector(showtable:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
-(void)showtable:(UIButton *)sender{
TableViewController *tableViewController=[[TableViewController alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tableViewController animated:YES];
}
