prepareForSegue called twice

Question

I have a UINavigationController that has a UITableview loaded in it. Inside this UITableView I have one prototype cell and I reused it a few times with static data that never changes and never will. So, I connected two push segues from the viewControlller it self to two their destination view controllers. This seemed to work just fine. To invoke these segues, I used UItableViews delegate method: didSelectRowAtIndexPath so I know which row was tapped and then, go to the correct viewController.

No, problem, it works.

I then added a third viewController and its accompanying, segue to match, same as the previous two and same setup in didSelectRowAtIndexPath - now, when I tap the second cell, that was working, didSelectRowAtIndexPath is called as expected, then it called the correct segue, then prepareForSegue is called. Then, prepareForSegue is called again (at this point, didSelectRowAtIndexPath has not been called again) the prepareForSegue method then invokes the incorrect segue (The third segue I added).

I cannot figure out who is calling the prepareForSegue method for the second time and why its got the wrong identifier.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Some code samples

Here is the didSelectRowAtIndexPath

    -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    switch (indexPath.row)
    {
    case CategoryFilter:
        {
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"FilteredCategoryView" sender:self];
        break;
        }
    case PriceFilter:
        {
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"FilterByPriceSegue" sender:self];
        }
    case ConditionFilter:
        {
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"SearchFilterConditionSegue" sender:self];

        }
    }
}

Then in the prepareForSegue method:

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

    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"FilteredCategoryView"]){



       //No data to pass just yet 


    }
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"FilterByPriceSegue"]){
       //No data to pass just yet 

    }
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"SearchFilterConditionSegue"]){

       //No data to pass just yet 
    }
}

In the above method - I am not passing data just yet, but I will. Its this method that gets called twice.

You forgot the break in the second and third case of your switch maybe it will help ;)

Change your switch with :

switch (indexPath.row)
{
    case CategoryFilter:
    {
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"FilteredCategoryView" sender:self];
         break;
    }
    case PriceFilter:
    {
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"FilterByPriceSegue" sender:self];
         break;
    }
    case ConditionFilter:
    {
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"SearchFilterConditionSegue" sender:self];
         break;
    }
}

If you don't put the break instruction in each of your cases the switch will do all the other case until the end of the switch or another break instruction.
