Passing data between table views - ios

Question

I've got a problem, I created a UITableView using CoreData to pass data between the views (UITableView to DetailView of a row) I used this method:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"UpdateData"]) {
NSManagedObject *selectedDevice = [self.datas objectAtIndex:
[[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] row]];
DetailViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
destViewController.datas = selectedDevice;
}
}
and everything works fine. But later I added a UISearchBar that didn't work with NSManagedObject so i created another NSMutableArray where I saved all the NSStrings composing the cell.textLabel.textand it works. But now I need to modify the prepareForSegue in order to perform a segue whenever I select a row from the SearchBar tableView.
The problem is that to perform this kind of segue connecting with the CoreData I need to use the NSManagedObject, so my question is:
How can i get the indexPath.row from the UISearchBar inside my UITableView and make it correspond to the right indexPath.row of my self.data (that is the array I used to perform the normal segue in the UITableView, see code) ?
I thought I could compare the strings of the cell (cell.textLabel.text) but
don't know how to do.
there could be a problem if there are 2 rows with same name I suppose.
any advice?
EDIT: I added the UISearchBar from the storyboard and this is the code i use to filter the main table view:
- (void)filterContentForSearchText:(NSString*)searchText scope:(NSString*)scope
{
[_searchDati removeAllObjects];
NSPredicate *resultPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF contains[cd] %#", searchText];
_searchDati = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[_tableData filteredArrayUsingPredicate:resultPredicate]];
}
-(BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller
shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString
{
[self filterContentForSearchText:searchString
scope:[[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar scopeButtonTitles]
objectAtIndex:[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar
selectedScopeButtonIndex]]];
return YES;
}
Where _searchDati is the array i created for the UISearchBar and _tableData is the array i created to store the name of the cells from the NSManagedObject that contains the CoreDatas.
and i also added this
- (void)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller didLoadSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
[tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
}
//Handle selection on searchBar
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier: #"UpdateData" sender: self];
}
}
The first because i used this and i need to register the class or gave me an error
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
and the second one to handle the selection of the UISearchBarTableView.
In here i load the tableView as i said before
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
// see filter method
cell.textLabel.text = [_searchDati objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
} else {
NSString *string;
NSManagedObject *data = [self.datas objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [data valueForKey:#"name"]];
[cell.detailTextLabel setText:nil];
cell.textLabel.text = string;
//store the string to the tableView array
[_tableData addObject:string];
}
return cell;
}
EDIT#2:
i Wrote this code
NSIndexPath *indexPath = nil;
NSIndexPath *indexPath2 = nil;
if ([self.searchDisplayController isActive]) {
indexPath = [self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
for(int i = 0 ; i < _tableData.count ; i++){
if([self.searchDati[indexPath.row] isEqualToString:_tableData[i]]){
indexPath2 = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i inSection:1];
}
}
NSManagedObject *selectedDevice = [self.datas objectAtIndex:indexPath2.row];
destViewController.datas = selectedDevice;
when i click on a row on the UISearchBar and it WORKS only for the first time! I make the search and click on the row and it goes to the right DetailView, but if i do it again it crashes giving me this error
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 5 beyond bounds [0 .. 4]'
i think the problem is that does not start from the indexPath.row == 0 but create a sort of pile after the first time.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance :)

Try this,
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"UpdateData"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:sender];
NSManagedObject *selectedDevice = [self.datas objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
DetailViewController * destViewController = [segue destinationViewController];
destViewController.datas = selectedDevice;
}
}
