connect a UINavigation Controller to table view within view based app - iphone

Question

I have an view based app that has a main menu. In the main menu the user can select an option that presents a table that is populated from an SQLite database (BrowseView). That is all working fine, however from the table I want the user to be able to select a row of data that will present a detailed view and I cannot get the detailed view to work. Nothing happens.
I think the problem is that I havn't connected the detailed view to the UINavigation controller but I'm unsure on how to do this as I have tried everything that I can think of (which is probably not much as I'm new to programming).
Any help on this would be greatly appreicated. Here is my code.
In the appDelegate.h
#class ClubFindViewController;
#interface ClubFindAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
ClubFindViewController *viewController;
UINavigationController *navigationController;
NSMutableArray *clubArray;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet ClubFindViewController *viewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *clubArray;
-(void) copyDatadaseIfNeeded;
-(NSString *) getDBPath;
#end
AppDelegate.m
#implementation ClubFindAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize viewController;
#synthesize navigationController;
#synthesize clubArray;
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Application lifecycle
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[self copyDatadaseIfNeeded];
NSMutableArray *tempArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
self.clubArray = tempArray;
[tempArray release];
[Clubs getInitialDataToDisplay:[self getDBPath]];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
[self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[self.window addSubview:viewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
DetailView.h
#class Clubs;
#interface DetailViewController : UITableViewController {
IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
Clubs *clubObj;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) Clubs *clubObj;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
#end
DetailView.m
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#import "Clubs.h"
#import "BrowseViewController.h"
#implementation DetailViewController
#synthesize clubObj;
#synthesize tableView;
-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
self.title = clubObj.clubName;
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tblView titleForHeaderInSection: (NSInteger)section {
NSString *sectionName = nil;
switch (section) {
case 0:
sectionName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Club"];
break;
case 1:
sectionName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Address"];
break;
}
return sectionName;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 1;
}
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tblView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
switch (indexPath.section) {
case 0:
cell.textLabel.text = clubObj.clubName;
break;
case 1:
cell.textLabel.text = clubObj.ClubAddress;
break;
}
return cell;
}
Updated code.

Answer 1

When you create your app and want to use UINavigationController you must in your AppDelegate tell that UINavigationController is your rootViewController.
self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
When the Detail view will be pushed it will already (know) that it is inside the UINavigationController and so you don't need to create additional UINavigationController.
So delete UINavigationController *navigationController; from both .h and .m file.
