Setting navigation bar title to cell text

[jlegend]

I want to be able to get the navigation bar's title to be set to the cell title of what they selected. Here is what I have, but does not seem to be working.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
	
	static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }
	
	if(stbView == nil)
		stbView = [[SelectionsTabBarView alloc] initWithNibName:@"SelectionsTabBarView" bundle:nil];
	
	if(addNavigationController == nil)
		addNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:stbView];
		self.navigationController.title = cell.text;

	
	
	[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:addNavigationController animated:YES];
}

Thanks in advance

Wow wa woo waaa!!!! Your all screwed up... First of all why are you allocating table cells in the didselectcell method? Your mixing that up with cellforrow...

Your making a new cell so the cell.text is nil.

You have two options:
1. Grab the text from the your tableview datasource(nsmutablearray, nsarray...etc.)
2. Grab the actuall selected cell using cellforindexpath (I think that's what it is called, look up UITAbleview methods you'll see it). Then use the text property and set the title of the nav

[iSDK]

Firstly you need to declare what the cell is:

UITableViewCell *cell;
cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

Once you have declared the cell you can then get the cell's text label as you would usually do, and then you would just need to set the navigation bar's label text to the cell's text.

 self.title = cell.textLabel.text;

Here is what I have down so far. I want the Nav Bar that is coming up in the second view to display the cell text. It does not work.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
	
	UITableViewCell *cell;
	cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
	
	if(stbView == nil)
		stbView = [[SelectionsTabBarView alloc] initWithNibName:@"SelectionsTabBarView" bundle:nil];
	
	if(addNavigationController == nil)
		addNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:stbView];

	[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:addNavigationController animated:YES];
	addNavigationController.title = cell.text;
}

The first thing that jumped out at me was this:

Surely you are getting a warning with this??

its cell.textLabel.text.

It still is not working. Here is my cellForRowAtIndexPath and didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }
	
	//Get the object from the array.
	Coffee *coffeeObj = [appDelegate.coffeeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	
	//Set the coffename.
	cell.text = coffeeObj.coffeeName;
    
    // Set up the cell
    return cell;
}


- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
	
	UITableViewCell *cell;
	cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
	
	if(stbView == nil)
		stbView = [[SelectionsTabBarView alloc] initWithNibName:@"SelectionsTabBarView" bundle:nil];
	
	if(addNavigationController == nil)
		addNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:stbView];

	[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:addNavigationController animated:YES];
	addNavigationController.title = cell.textLabel.text;
}

Try setting the title of the stbView instead.

stbView.title= cell.text;

P.s. Cell.text is depricated...

Thank you! It worked. Thank you as well iSDK. Both of your help is very much appreciated.
