UITableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath

Question

I have a UITableView which contains five cells. Each cell has a a label and a image. Now using didSelectRowAtIndexPath, when I click on any cell, a new view should appear which contains a label and image from the cell clicked. The code is:

OpenMessageViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"OpenMessageVC"];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

OpenMessageViewController is my new view that would appear on clicking a cell. I have added a label and image in OpenMessageViewController in storyboard. How do I change the label text and image of OpenMessageViewController to the text and image present in the cell clicked. Thank You

What's your actual problem? There's nothing wrong with your code, unless your Storyboard doesn't actually contain a visible UINavigationController. — Claus Jørgensen, Oct 27 '14 at 10:47

better you search for How pass Object from One ViewController to another. Because you need to track for index of TableView Cell while navigating through View. — Vishal Sharma, Oct 27 '14 at 10:56
Have a look at this nice tutorial http://www.codigator.com/tutorials/ios-uitableview-tutorial-for-beginners-passing-data/ — Ravi, Oct 27 '14 at 10:59
if your select the cell,does it want to go another view? Am i correct? — user3182143, Oct 27 '14 at 11:07
And also should it show the details of current View Controller in next view controller? — user3182143, Oct 27 '14 at 11:09
Yes..once I select the cell, it should go to new view OpenMessageViewController and the new view should show the details of previous cell. — Vamshi Krishna, Oct 27 '14 at 11:26

I haven't put your code in a Xcode project, but couldn't you do something like this to pass the image and text?

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Get the tapped cell
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

// Configure the destination VC
UIImageView *myImageView = (UIImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:10]; // Set tag 10 to the UIImageView in your cell
UILabel *myLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:20]; // Set tag 20 to the UILabel in your cell
controller.imageView.image = myImageView.image;
controller.theLabel.text = myLabel.text;

// Navigate
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"mySegue" sender:self];
}

Remember to connect the two ViewControllers in IB. You then have to have a label called theLabel and a imageView called imageView on the destination ViewController hooked up to an outlet. (Feel free to change the name)

You may need to do some tweaking to fit my solution to your "controller" reference. Let me know if you have any questions — Erik, Oct 27 '14 at 12:24
