After reading objects into the master list, how can I automatically populate the detail table (as if the user tapped the first item in the list)?

Hi Bruce,

Try this:

[yourSection dispatchEventSelectRowAtIndexPath:yourIndexPath];

Hi Bruce,

This doesn't work unfortunately.

Using a UISplitViewController, this ends up putting the detail view in the same pane as the master view.

Tarek - anything on this?

Hi Bruce,

 

Is your master view controller connected to the detail view controller via masterViewController.tableViewModel.detailViewController = detailViewController ?

[Bruce Vander Werf]

Tarek,

Yes, it is.

I wonder if the issue is that when I am building the model I typically instantiate an SCArrayOfObjectsModel and then set self.tableViewModel to that.

Hi Bruce,

 

I can check the project for you if you wish. Please create a new support ticket and attach it there. Thanks.

Tarek,

 

Anything on this? It's been almost a month now since I created the support ticket as you requested.

This happens to me too.

 

Please advise Tarek.

Greetings Programs!

 

I've been messing around with the sample iPad App trying to find some way to do it and I sort of have it displaying (but other things break)...

 

This isn't a solution or even remotely close to one but it could be a starting point for a workaround...

 

RootViewController.h

#import "DetailViewController.h"

@interface RootViewController : SCTableViewController

@property(nonatomic) BOOL isFirstLoad;
@property(nonatomic, strong) DetailViewController *detailViewController;

@end

 

RootViewController.m

    // Create a weak instance of self to be used within the blocks.
    __weak typeof(self) weak_self = self;
	self.isFirstLoad = YES;
	self.detailViewController = (DetailViewController *)[[self.splitViewController.viewControllers lastObject] topViewController];

	objectsSection.sectionActions.detailModelWillPresent = ^(SCTableViewSection *section, SCTableViewModel *detailModel, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
	{
		NSLog(@"detailModelWillPresent");
		NSLog(@"detailModel: %@", detailModel);
		if (weak_self.isFirstLoad) {
			[[weak_self.detailViewController navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:NO];
			[[weak_self.detailViewController navigationController] pushViewController:detailModel.viewController animated:YES];
			weak_self.isFirstLoad = NO;
		}
		else
		{
			weak_self.tableViewModel.detailViewController = detailModel.viewController;
		}
	};
	
	[self.tableViewModel addSection:objectsSection];
	
	if (self.isFirstLoad) {
		[objectsSection dispatchEventSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)[[self.tableView indexPathsForVisibleRows] objectAtIndex:0]];
	}

Hi Bruce,

 

I checked your app and it turns out that the DetailViewController didn't get the chance to load by the time MasterViewController appeared. This can be easily rectified by waiting by a really small interval (1/10 second is way more than enough) before dispatching the event. Here is a code sample that should work once added to your MasterViewController:

 

 

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
   
    [self performSelector:@selector(selectFirstRow) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.1];
}

- (void)selectFirstRow
{
    SCArrayOfObjectsSection *objectsSection = (SCArrayOfObjectsSection *)[self.tableViewModel sectionAtIndex:0];
    if(objectsSection.items.count)
    {
        NSIndexPath *firstRowIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
        [self.tableViewModel.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:firstRowIndexPath animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
        [objectsSection dispatchEventSelectRowAtIndexPath:firstRowIndexPath];
    }
}

 

Please confirm that this is working.

Alternatively, you can also dispatch the event from DetailViewController itself (which might be an even better solution). Just place the following code in your DetailViewController:

 

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
   
    if(self.tableViewModel.masterModel)
    {
        SCArrayOfObjectsSection *objectsSection = (SCArrayOfObjectsSection *)[self.tableViewModel.masterModel sectionAtIndex:0];
        if(objectsSection.items.count)
        {
            NSIndexPath *firstRowIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
            [self.tableViewModel.masterModel.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:firstRowIndexPath animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
            [objectsSection dispatchEventSelectRowAtIndexPath:firstRowIndexPath];
        }
    }
}
