IOS StoryBoard multiple Segue's from a TableCell

Question

Hi I have a storyboard and am able to show a detail view when clicking on a table cell. I want to add extra functionality so that depending on what cell I click I show a different view controller. I tried dragging two segues from the same cell but it doesn't allow it.

My thinking was that I would have two segue's from the cell each pointing to a different view and then invoke the desired segue:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    NSInteger row = indexPath.row;
    NSLog(@"Selected Item :-) %@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[myData objectAtIndex:row]]);
    if(row %2 ==0){
        NSLog(@"Even");        
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"ShowSecondIndex" sender:self];
    }else{
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"ShowSelectedMovie" sender:self];
        NSLog(@"Odd");

    }

} 

I would then handle the segue in prepareForSegue

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{

    NSLog(@"Prepare For Segue ID:%@",[segue identifier]);

    if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"ShowSelectedMovie"]){
        Tab2_ItemViewController *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
        NSInteger selectedIndex = [[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] row];
        NSLog(@"Selected Index: %d",selectedIndex);
        [vc setSelectedItem: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[myData objectAtIndex:selectedIndex]]];
        NSLog(@"String Value: %@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[myData objectAtIndex:selectedIndex]]);
        [vc setSelectedIndex:selectedIndex];


    }else if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"ShowSecondIndex"]){

        NSLog(@"Viewing Second Index");
    }

}

However it never shows the second view. Is this because its not possible to have two segues from a single table cell. I also tried dragging both segue's from the controller to each destination rather than one from the cell and one from the controller but sill no luck???

Answer 1

Don't try to hook up the Segues to a tableviewcell in this case. Hook them up to the View Controller itself.
