How to make a push segue when a UITableViewCell is selected

Question

I have a list of effects in a table view. I have created a top right bar button which does a push segue to another view controller which helps create a new effect. Now I want to add push segues to the table view cells so that the effects values maybe loaded on the add effects view controller and I can save the edited values.

The question is can I create a push segue programmatically? If not can I pass the effect through a prepareforsegue? If I try to use a prepareforsegue, I run into a problem where control dragging from the UITableView does not let me create a push segue to the add effects view controller.

Answer 1

control drag From View Controller to View Controller

You will need to give an identifier to your segue:

Perform the segue:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"yourSegue" sender:self];
}

Now here is the thing, this will just perform the segue, if you ever needed to pass some data to that view controller. Then you have to implement the following segue delegate:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    // Make sure your segue name in storyboard is the same as this line
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"yourSegue"])
    {
        //if you need to pass data to the next controller do it here
    }
}
