iOS6 Pass Row Number from Cell to next View Controller

Question

I have a basic table view cell that is all SQLite3 database generated.

When I click on the Disclosure Indicator in a cell to move to a View Controller so I can edit the contents of the previous cell, how can I just pass the row# or the id# over?

Is there a cute way of doing this in iOS6?

You can use didSelectRowAtIndexPath method of UITableView delegate for your purpose

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

      /* your other stuff */
      NSLog ( @\"You selected row: %d\", indexPath.row ); // Gives you row#
}

To pass row# to another DetailViewController, Add following line in DetailViewController.h file

@property (readwrite) int selectedRow;

And synthsis it in DetailViewController.m file

@synthesize selectedRow;

Now you can use selectedRow by creating object of DetailViewController like,

[detailViewController setSelectedRow:indexPath.row];
