..::View Controller Madness::..

[drnkHobo]

Hey guys, im planning for a new ap im doing and was just wondering if you could help.

You see, this app will basically look like the home screen with "app" icons and a page/swipe function to get to the next page of icons.Like the home screen. . .

Now the "apps" are just buttons.They are companies.What I mean is they represent different companies.When you click a company icon, a tableview appears.You can click a cell and go into a detail view too.It will describe the selected company ect.

This is what I planned to do:

Have a root controller to handle the switching of pages in the main screen.
Have view controllers for each page.
Then have view controllers for each company.

this would mean quite alot of view controllers as there are 30+ companies in my list....

The question I pose is this:

Would it not be better to have a "temp" view controller which would handle ALL the companies?

So I make a VC and use a few case statements to see which company info to load up.

Can I do that?


thanks guys!!!!

Someone here was working with that a while ago.

They created a generic class (UINavigation control) and a custom class to handle how deep the Menus go.

If I remember right, when the user clicked a parent menu to go into it's sub menus, the generic class would be cleared of all menus and pop up the new menu's for that parent menu. (All data was obtained by parsing an XML file)

Yes, an easier approach would be just 1 class to handle them all, because having 30 is a lot, and plus what if you want to add new companies later?
