How to Implement a UITableView from a non-navigation template

[brian515]

Hi,
I am new to iPhone development, and I created a new project from a window-based application because none of the other templates fit what I want my app to do. What I want is I want two views, one will have a very simple game on it, and on the other view will be a navigation-based table view where I will put the settings. I created a UITableViewController and a UITableViewCell subclass in my XCode project, but I was wondering where in Interface Builder I should put the navigation controller. Should I put it in the window, or in the Settings View? Also, is there anything special I have to do to get this to work? Thanks.

Put it in the settings view

Thanks for your fast reply. Will the Navigation controller automatically link to the table view I put in, or how do I do that?

In IB just make sure you are adding the tableview to the navigation controller element. I think I am understanding your question correctly.

Yes, that would be my question. So, if I have to add the tableView to the navigation controller element, do I just tell my method that switches views, located in my app delegate class to switch to the navigation controller view?

Right now my code is this to switch to the settings view.

-(void)flipToSettings {
	SettingsViewController *settingsView = [[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SettingsView" bundle:nil];
	[self setSettingsViewController:settingsView];
	[settingsView release];
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.5];
	[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:window cache:YES];
	[gameViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
	[self.window addSubview:[settingsViewController view]];
	[UIView commitAnimations];
}

So would that become this?

-(void)flipToSettings {
	SettingsViewController *settingsView = [[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SettingsView" bundle:nil];
	[self setSettingsViewController:settingsView];
	[settingsView release];
	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.5];
	[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:window cache:YES];
	[gameViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
	[self.window addSubview:[settingsViewControllerNavigationController view]];
	[UIView commitAnimations];
}
