Link Navigation View Controller cell to a Web View - iphone

Question

I have a navigation controller with multiple cells. I want to link each of the cells to a webpage in a web view. However, I don't want to create another view controller for each cell. Is it possible to create 1 view controller and link all cells to the same view controller but make a different webpage show up in the web view for each cell? For example, there is cell 1 and cell 2. They both link to one view controller with a web view in the view controller. When you click cell 1, it brings you to the view controller and in the web view it brings you to http://example.com. When you click cell 2, it brings you to the same view controller as cell 1 but in the web view, it brings you to http://example.com/1. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Just declare a property in your viewcontroller which holds the URL you want to request.
#property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *url;
When you click on a cell assign the URL of the cell accordingly to the property of your viewcontroller
Your viewcontroller should look something like this.
Header
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface RSViewController : UIViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) NSString *url;
#end
Implementation
#import "RSViewController.h"
#interface RSViewController ()<UIWebViewDelegate>
#property (strong,nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webview;
#end
#implementation RSViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.webview.delegate = self;
NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [[NSURLRequest alloc]initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.url]];
[self.webview loadRequest:urlRequest];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
NSLog(#"Did start loading");
}
-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
NSLog(#"Did finish loading");
}
#end
Now you just need a reference to your viewcontroller in your tableviewcontrollerand set the urlproperty on cell click.
