Dear list,
I’m trying to find a good idiom for allowing the user to select an item from a hierarchical tree of items. The items are categories, and categories can contain sub-categories, etc. This is easy to present using a UITableView and segues. But in this particular part of the UI, I want to allow the user to select a particular category (in order to move a category to another place in the tree). So, what’s a good way to distinguish between the user touching a cell because they want to select that cell, or because they want to drill down to sub-categories? Clearly the presence of a disclosure indicator gives the user the impression that touching a cell will drill-down. And this is good. But how can the user signal that they rather want to select the category (let’s call that a ‘pick’ action) instead of drilling down? What I’d like is that touching the centre of the cell selects it, and touching the right side drills-down. Is such a thing possible/supported?
I tried googling around a bit but I failed to find a good search string; always ended up with basic drill-down tutorials.
Looking for good ideas….
Many thanks,
Martin
