What's the difference between a Detail Disclosure Button and a Disclosure Indicator?

Question

What\'s the difference between a Detail Disclosure Button and a Disclosure Indicator?

For me, both things are the exact same thing, just that they look a little bit diff

Answer 1

Once you use the detail disclosure button it acts like a button.
Meaning that the user has to tap this button in order to perform some action (you can catch this tap by implementing the - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method of the UITableViewDelegate).

If you use the indicator then it just draws the arrow on the right and you will have to implement the - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath in order to catch the tap on the entire table cell.

Hope it helps...
