Uitableviewcell content is not clickable - ios

Question

I'm a newbie iOS developer writing my apps in Objective-C language. I found myself facing a problem, and I searched a lot, but without results :(
The problem is: I'm programmatically populating uitable view cells with an image, an "eyelet" and a title, parsed from a news xml grabbed online.
The code I'm going to past here under make the UI snaps, but I already found the cause and I'm working on the solution, so no problem about this, the fact is that this code load the contents, but when I try to open a second view controller with a news detail I previously made...well...the cells aren't clickable!
Here is the code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell;
UILabel *eyeletLabel, *newsTitleLabel, *dateLabel;
eyeletLabel = [UILabel new];
newsTitleLabel = [UILabel new];
newsImage = [UIImageView new];
if (cell == nil) {
//NSLog(#"Cell: %#", cell);
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
ATNews *thisNews = gNewsArray[indexPath.row];
eyeletLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
eyeletLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
eyeletLabel.frame = CGRectMake(90.0f, 5.0f, cell.contentView.frame.size.width - 20, 20);
eyeletLabel.text = thisNews.eyelet;
eyeletLabel.textColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
newsTitleLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
newsTitleLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
newsTitleLabel.frame = CGRectMake(90.0f, 20.0f, cell.contentView.frame.size.width - 50, 50);
newsTitleLabel.text = thisNews.title;
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
formatter.dateFormat = #"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
NSString *newDate = [formatter stringFromDate:thisNews.pubDate];
dateLabel.text = [NSString stringWithString:newDate];
for (id obj in thisNews.newsPhotos) {
NSUInteger counter = 0;
if ([obj isEqualToString: #"true"]) {
counter = counter + 2;
imageUrlFromArray = [thisNews.newsPhotos objectAtIndex:counter];
NSURL *imageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:imageUrlFromArray];
imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageURL];
}
counter = counter + 3;
}
newsImage.frame = CGRectMake(5.0f, 5.0f, 70.0f, 70.0f);
if (thisNews.newsPhotos.count != 0) {
newsImage.image = nil;
newsImage.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
newsImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
newsImage.layer.cornerRadius = newsImage.frame.size.width / 2;
[newsImage.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
}
else {
newsImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"no-image.png"];
newsImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
newsImage.layer.cornerRadius = newsImage.frame.size.width / 2;
[newsImage.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
}
[cell addSubview:newsImage];
[cell addSubview:eyeletLabel];
[cell addSubview:newsTitleLabel];
[cell addSubview:dateLabel];
}
else {
//NSLog(#"Cell");
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
}
return cell;
}
I searched for the solution a lot, I also read some similar question in here too, but without success, could you help me? Thank you very much!

Implement the delegate method
- (void)tableView:(nonnull UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(nonnull NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
Now that it is clickable, you need to either add a segue from your cell to your new view controller or from your view controller create a segue to the new view controller and call
[self.viewcontroller performSegueWithIdentifier:#"Your Identifer"];
