Segue Back to Self View Controller

Question

I am currently facing a problem that I wanted to segue back to the same view controller by click on a table view cell. For your information, my table view is generated programatically and each of the cells are using NIB files to control.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath (NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if( indexPath.row == 0 ){
         NSLog(@"Clicked");
    }
}

When I clicked on the cell at position number 0, the log does came out. So now I wanted to segue back to the same view controller instead to the others. From the storyboard, it is impossible for me the drag the segue it is because the view controller is only have a scroll view.

E.g: Inside View Controller A have 5 cells, when I clicked on the first cell, it will segue back to View Controller A and pass data.

Please advise ya if you need to see more of my codes. Thanks viewer!

If I understand you correctly, you want to select a row in your tableView and have it performSegueWithIdentifier back to this same/current UITableViewController?

To do this:

1. In storyboard, ctrl+drag from the exposed table view cell to the yellow view controller icon in the black bar below. This creates the segue to self view controller.
2. Click on the segue, and add an identifier; e.g. "segueToSelf"

3. In your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method, add the following:

   [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"segueToSelf" sender:self];
