title: iOS passing data from tableview to new view
body: <p>I'm following closely to this hubpage <a href="http://klanguedoc.hubpages.com/hub/iOS-How-To-Display-Detail-Data-from-UITableView-in-Detail-View-Controller" rel="nofollow">http://klanguedoc.hubpages.com/hub/iOS-How-To-Display-Detail-Data-from-UITableView-in-Detail-View-Controller</a> and am able to replicate it almost perfectly except the final component. prepareForSegue method. </p>
  
  <pre><code>-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
      if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"showDetail"]) {
          klViewController *detailViewController = [segue destinationViewController];
  
          detailViewController.treeData = [self.ds objectAtIndex:[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow].row];
  
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to look closely and tried finding other online example of prepareForSegue method but they were all pointing to the same direction, which means the method and code is correct!</p>
  
  <p>The error issued by xcode is ARC Issue - No visible @interface for 'NSString' declares the selector 'isEqualToString:'</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone please point me to the right direction?</p>
  
  <p>P.S correct me if I'm wrong, but should this prepareForSegue method suppose to be in the tableview class? if it's not please let me know, cause I'm new to xcode and the tutorial is abit hazy, hence I'm afraid I miss interpret where the codes are suppose to go.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance :)</p>
