UITableViewCell segues to different static UITableViewController based on row selected?

Question

I have 3 cells in a UITableView. Person, Car and House and I want each one to segue to a custom and different STATIC TableViewController so the user can do some setup.

What is the most efficient way to go about this?

In prepareForSegue do I query and call the method didSelectRowAtIndexPath then do what? Or in the storyboards do I setup a push segue from one cell to a separate TVC, 3 times?

Does anyone know of any good tutorial? I dont know how to go about this thanks.

Answer 1

I am guessing you are using storyboards? Are the cells static cells, and always in the same order?

If so I am guessing you have a UIViewController or UITableViewController in the storyboard which is populated with Person, Car, and House.

You then have 3 different view controllers that you wish to navigate to depending on which of Person, Car or House is selected?

As you are using prototype cells, I would do the following:

As previously mentioned, when creating the cell do:

[cell setTag:indexPath.row];

then in didSelectRowAtIndexPath do the following:

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

switch ([cell tag]) {
    case 0:
        PersonDetailViewController *personDetailViewController = [[self storyboard] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"PersonDetails"];
        [[self navigationController] pushViewController:personDetailViewController animated:YES];
        break;
    case 1:
        // Do similar for Car
        breal;
    case 2:
        // Do similar for House

    default:
        break;
}
