linking from dynamic table cells to specific view controllers - ios

Question

I am trying to link from a dynamic table view cell (as part of a search result table) to a specific view controller
The code I have implemented so far is:
SearchViewController.h
import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface SearchViewController : UITableViewController <UISearchDisplayDelegate, UISearchDisplayDelegate>
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSArray *sysTArray;
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSMutableArray *filteredsysTArry;
#property IBOutlet UISearchBar *sysTSearchBar;
#end
SearchViewController.M
#import "SearchViewController.h"
#import "sysT.h"
#interface SearchViewController ()
#end
#implementation SearchViewController
#synthesize sysTArray;
#synthesize filteredsysTArry;
#synthesize sysTSearchBar;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
sysTArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[sysT sysTOfCategory:#"p" name:#"H1"],
[sysT sysTOfCategory:#"p" name:#"W2"],
[sysT sysTOfCategory:#"p" name:#"W3"],
[sysT sysTtOfCategory:#"p" name:#"C4"],
[sysT sysTOfCategory:#"c" name:#"O5"],
[sysT sysTOfCategory:#"c" name:#"C6"],
[sysT sysTOfCategory:#"a" name:#"L7"], nil];
self.filteredSysTArry = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[sysTArray count]];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
return [filteredsysTArry count];
}else{
return [sysTArray count];
}
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}
- (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];
}
SysT *sysT = nil;
if (tableView == self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
sysT = [filteredsysTArry objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}else{
sysT = [sysTArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
cell.textLabel.text = sysT.name;
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
return cell;
}
#pragma mark Search Filtering
-(void)filterContentForSearchText:(NSString*) searchText scope:(NSString*)scope {
[self.filteredSysTArry removeAllObjects];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF.name contains[c] %#", searchText];
filteredSysTArry = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[sysTArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate]];
}
#pragma mark - UISearchDisplayController Delegate Methods
-(BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString {
[self filterContentForSearchText:searchString scope:
[[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar scopeButtonTitles] objectAtIndex: [self.searchDisplayController.searchBar selectedScopeButtonIndex]]];
return YES;
}
-(BOOL) searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchScope:(NSInteger)searchOption {
[self filterContentForSearchText:self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.text scope:
[[self.searchDisplayController.searchBar scopeButtonTitles] objectAtIndex:searchOption]];
return YES;}
#end
How do I initiate a specific view controller depending on the data inside the dynamic cell?
To further elaborate, if a user searched H1, and then clicked on that dynamic cell, how would I display the relevant H1 view controller?
As you can probably tell from my very rough code, I'm on a steep learning curve. If you could make your answers as baby proof as possible that would be fantastic, and would really help me out. (Also, I am using storyboards).
Thanks!

You need to implement tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: which is called when you select a row. You can get the data for that row by querying your data source, using the indexPath passed into that method. You can then use whatever logic you need to choose which view controller to go to next. You do that by calling performSegueWithIdentifier.
