Using Comparison Show Data on Tableview in iPhone

Introduction

In this article I will create a Single View application. Here we use two table view controllers and compare them using it's action event. I mean here I use two autor names and a conditional statement to show their corresponding book in table view.

To understand it better we use the following procedure.

Step 1

Open XCode by double-clicking on it.

Step 2

Create a New XCode Project by clicking on it.

Step 3

Now Select Single View Application and click on Next.

Step 4

Now provide your Product Name and Company Identifier.

Step 5

Select the location where you want to save your project and click on Create.

Step 6

Now here we write code:

TableExampleViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class BookViewController;
@interface TableExampleViewController : UITableViewController
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *authorList;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet BookViewController *bookController;
@end

TableExampleViewController.m

#import "TableExampleViewController.h"
#import "BookViewController.h"
@interface TableExampleViewController ()
@end
@implementation TableExampleViewController
@synthesize authorList;
@synthesize bookController;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
if (self) {
}
return self;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[super viewDidLoad];
self.authorList = [[NSArray alloc]
initWithObjects:@"Sachin,V.S. Naipaul",
@"Nisha,Satish Gujral",nil];
self.title = @"Authors";
}
- (void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
self.authorList = nil;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [self.authorList count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [self.authorList objectAtIndex: [indexPath row]];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (0 == indexPath.row)
{

pushViewController:self.bookController
