getting content from plist to UITableView to details view controller - iphone

Question

Im trying to get the label and images of each item in my plist library to show up in my details tab.
Here is a pic of my tableview which i can get my plist dictionary to work. An array of images and an array or items. (ex item 0 is both the thermostat.jpg and Thermostat label.
Here is a pic of the detail view when clicking on the cell. It pulls the label from the cell and the image of the thermostat.
However when clicking on item 1 in plist (the toilet) it pulls the toilet name but still shows the thermostat image. Like so.
Here is my code for detailviewcontroller
the.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface DetailViewController : UIViewController
{
IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
}
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *itemLabel;//Name of that view
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *itemName;
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIImageView *myImageView; //Image View
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *myTextView; //Description View
#end
and .m
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#interface DetailViewController ()
#end
#implementation DetailViewController
#synthesize itemLabel;
#synthesize itemName;
#synthesize myImageView;
#synthesize myTextView;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
itemLabel.text = itemName;
//**************SCROLL VIEW*************
[scrollView setScrollEnabled:YES];
[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320,960)];
scrollView.contentInset=UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0,0.0,90.0,0.0);
////I know below this is the Problem, BUT im not sure what its supposed to be?////
NSDictionary *picturesDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"repairlist" ofType:#"plist"]];
NSArray *imageArray = [picturesDictionary objectForKey:#"Thumbnail"];
myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[imageArray objectAtIndex:0]];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
So all in all im trying to get the image to correctly show when clicking on that cell
Here is an image of my plist im using:
I already have this in my TableViewController
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"ItemListCell"]) {
DetailViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
NSIndexPath *indexPath = nil;
if ([self.searchDisplayController isActive]) {
indexPath = [self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
destViewController.itemName = [searchResults objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
} else {
indexPath = [self.myTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
destViewController.itemName = [repairList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//destViewController.textView = [descrip objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
}
}

Here is your problem,
myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[imageArray objectAtIndex:0]];
You set your image always the same index which is 0. So, logically, you're always seeing the same image. So, what you need to is that you need to detect which cell was selected before you push DetailViewController and pass that info to your DetailViewController. Then, you need to use that info to show appropriate image in your DetailViewController.
First, you need to declare a property in DetailViewController.h,
#property int selectedRow;
change also this line of code
myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[imageArray objectAtIndex:0]];
to
myImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[imageArray objectAtIndex:self.selectedRow]];
Then in your TableViewController.m
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"YourSegueIdentifier"]) {
NSIndexPath *selectedRowIndex = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
DetailViewController *detailViewController = [segue destinationViewController];
detailViewController.selectedRow = [dataController objectInListAtIndex:selectedRowIndex.row];
}
}
