Using multiple detail views with TableView

Question

Im trying to implement a table view page within my tabbed bar application. I have successfully made a table view containing data, and I want this to take me to a detail view. However I want separate detail views for each Cell, to allow me to create more detailed detail views using the UI. I have given the Seque's unique IDs to try and do this.

Currently it crashed every time I press the button, taking me to main.m

Here is the code I have:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    switch (indexPath.row) {
        case 0:
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showDetail1" sender:self];
            break;
        case 1:
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showDetail2" sender:self];
            break;
        case 2:
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showDetail3" sender:self];
            break;
        case 3:
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showDetail4" sender:self];
            break;
        default:
            break;
     }
}

The exception I get is:

"Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Could not find a navigation controller for segue 'showDetail2'. Push segues can only be used when the source controller is managed by an instance of UINavigationController.'"

Thanks!

Answer 1

The ViewController where you have added your tableView , should be a part of a NavigationController . A ViewController can only be pushed if it is a part of NavigationController . Else try using Present Segue .

Solution 1:

Make your present ViewController in which you have added your tableView a part of NavigationController

If you are using StoryBoard , then select your ViewController in which you have added the tableView. With the Controller selected, choose Editor\\Embed In\\Navigation Controller

Solution 2:

If you do not want to use Navigation/Push design then you can present the ViewController . For that you have to use Present Segues .
