Data not loading in Detail View

I'm trying to get my data to load in my detail view. Can any one take a look and see why it isnt showing? It loads fine in my rootviewcontroller, just not the detail view.

DetailViewController.m

 #import "DetailViewController.h"


@implementation DetailViewController




- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning]; // Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview
    // Release anything that's not essential, such as cached data
}



- (void)setIcon:(UIImage *)newIcon
{
    [super setIcon:newIcon];
    iconView.image = newIcon;
}

- (void)setPublisher:(NSString *)newPublisher
{
    [super setPublisher:newPublisher];
    publisherLabel.text = newPublisher;
}


- (void)setName:(NSString *)newName
{
    [super setName:newName];
    nameLabel.text = newName;
}



- (void)dealloc
{
    [iconView release];
    [publisherLabel release];
    [nameLabel release];
    [priceLabel release];

    [super dealloc];
}


@end

detailviewcontroller.h

 #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>




@interface DetailViewController : UIViewController {
    IBOutlet UIImageView *iconView;
    IBOutlet UILabel *publisherLabel;
    IBOutlet UILabel *nameLabel;
    IBOutlet UILabel *priceLabel;

}

This has been bugging me for quite a while, I've looked at numerous examples, tutorials and even asked other iphone devs. Everything source seems to say something different.

First problem is that the setXXX methods in DetailViewController try to make calls to super setXXX but since DetailViewController is a subclass of UIViewController those calls to super will fail because UIViewController doesn't have such methods. Remove the calls to super in the setXXX methods.

Second problem is that the setXXX methods are setting the controls on the DetailViewController directly but the controls won't be accessible until the view is loaded so it won't work if the methods are called before the pushViewController call.

If you change the code in didSelectRowAtIndexPath as follows it should work:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
   DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailView" bundle:nil];
   [self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
   [detailViewController setName:@"name here"];
   [detailViewController setPublisher:@"publisher here"];
   [detailViewController setIcon:yourImageVariableHere];       
   [detailViewController release];
}

Although the above change should work, you might want to consider creating ivars to hold the values in DetailViewController (instead of using the ui controls themselves to hold the data). Then create properties for them using @property and @synthesize. The properties can be set immediately after DetailViewController is created and in the viewDidLoad of the view, you can set the ui controls to the property values. This will give the DetailViewController more control over how its ui is updated, allow you to change the ui without affecting callers, and it doesn't need to be displayed to set its properties.
