Pass values to another UIViewController - objective-c

I am trying to pass values (UIImage, NSString) to another ViewController, but it wont work.
My code looks like this:
1st ViewController.m
#import 2nd ViewController.h
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
AppDetail *advc = [[AppDetail alloc] init];
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"showDetail"]) {
advc.appTitel = name;
advc.appIcon = icon;
advc.detailAppName = detileName;
advc.appDescription = description;
}
}
2nd ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface AppDetail : UIViewController
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *appTitel;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIImage *appIcon;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *detailAppName;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *appDescription;
#end
2nd ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title = self.appTitel;
self.appIconImageView.image = self.appIcon;
self.detailAppNameTextView.text = self.detailAppName;
self.appDescriptionTextView.text = self.appDescription;
}
But I always get (null) for all values!
What am I doing wrong??

Correct by this :
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"showDetail"]) {
// Get reference to the destination view controller
AppDetail *advcc = [segue destinationViewController];
advc.appTitel = name;
advc.appIcon = icon;
advc.detailAppName = detileName;
advc.appDescription = description;
}
}
The code below it's when you don't use storyboard :
AppDetail *advc = [[AppDetail alloc] init];

Correct these lines
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
//AppDetail *advc = [[AppDetail alloc] init];
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"showDetail"]) {
AppDetail *advc = segue.destinationViewController; //ADD THIS
advc.appTitel = name;
advc.appIcon = icon;
advc.detailAppName = detileName;
advc.appDescription = description;
}
}

Objective-c: passing data from UITable to ViewController with prepareForSegue

this is my very first app and, basically, this part consists in passing data from a UItableView to a second View Controll. I managed to learn how to pass data from a simple NSarray (also in a UITable), but my goal is to pass values from a NSDictionary. Everything is set up, but I can't figure out how to write the PrepareForSegue method properly. The app runs, but the label on the "DetailView" stays empty. What I got so far:
#implementation TableViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_citySpots = #{#"Bars" : #[#"Hurricane", #"Black Swan", #"Texas"],
#"Clubs" : #[#"Electric Wizard", #"Offspring", #"The Tunnel"],
#"Restaurants" : #[#"Nando's", #"1/2 Burguer", #"Satellite"],
};
_sectionTitles = [[_citySpots allKeys] sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
}
PrepareForSegue Method:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"spotsDetail"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
DetailViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
NSString *sectionTitle = [_sectionTitles objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSArray *citySpots = [_citySpots objectForKey:sectionTitle];
destViewController.receiver = [citySpots objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
}
And the receiver(header):
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "TableViewController.h"
#interface DetailViewController : UIViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *receiver;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *spot;
#end
Main:
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#interface DetailViewController ()
#end
#implementation DetailViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_receiver.text =_spot;
}
Can someone help me out? Thanks
Try to use setters:
[destViewController setReceiver:[citySpots objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
[destViewController setSpot:[citySpots objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];

NSMutableArray is not mutable anymore after passing it to another viewController

I'm using NavigationController and in the MasterViewController I have a NSMutableArray called _emails, when I prepareForSegue I do this:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
SelectContactViewController *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
vc.delegate = self;
vc.emails = _emails;
}
in SelectContactViewController _emails is correctly filled with datas from MasterViewController _emails property, But it is no more Mutable! I can't add/remove object. Here is definition of _emails in SelectContactsViewController:
#import "MasterViewController.h"
#protocol MyViewDelegate;
#interface SelectContactViewController : UITableViewController {
id<MyViewDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray* emails;
and definition of _emails in MasterViewController:
#interface MasterViewController () {
NSMutableArray *_emails;
}
How can I pass a MutableArray to another view and still be a MutableArray??
Just change the below lines
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
SelectContactViewController *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
vc.delegate = self;
vc.emails = _emails;
}
To the below lines
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
SelectContactViewController *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
vc.delegate = self;
vc.emails = [_emails mutableCopy];
}

segue data passing returns nil

I need to pass a NSString to my other ViewController but it keeps returning nil.
//prepareForSegue is called from didSelectRowAtIndexPath
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"chat"]) {
NSString *userName = (NSString *) [toUsersArray objectAtIndex:[self.chatsTableView indexPathForSelectedRow].row];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
ChatViewController *chatViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ChatViewController"];
//[chatViewController setChatWithUser:userName]; EVEN TRIED:
chatViewController.chatWithUser = username;
}
}
Here is where I declare the NSString:
#interface ChatViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, MessageDelegate> {
UITextField *messageField;
NSString *chatWithUser;
UITableView *chatTableView;
NSMutableArray *messagesArray;
}
#property (nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UITextField *messageField;
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *chatWithUser;
#property (nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UITableView *chatTableView;
- (IBAction) sendMessage;
#end
and here its still nil:
#synthesize chatWithUser;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//DO STUFF WITH chatWithUser; ADDED BREAKPOINT AND chatWithUser = nil;
//ALSO TRIED viewWillAppear;
}
What is the right way to pass data between these two View Controllers? My variables stay nil.
The problem is that you're instantiating a new ChatViewController, that's not the one that the segue is going to. You should get that controller from the segue's destinationViewController property.
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"chat"]) {
NSString *userName = (NSString *) [toUsersArray objectAtIndex:[self.chatsTableView indexPathForSelectedRow].row];
ChatViewController *chatViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
chatViewController.chatWithUser = username;
}
}
// Get reference to the destination view controller
ChatViewController *ChatViewController = [segue destinationViewController];

No information is passed to the DetailView Objective-c

my problem - I want to pass information from the TableView in DetailView, but somewhere in the self.detailViewController.detailItem no value is passed.
that is:
self.detailViewController.detailItem =#"123";
NSString *sss = self.detailViewController.detailItem;
NSLog(#"%#", sss);
In NSLog output (null)
Here is my source code:
DetailViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface DetailViewController : UIViewController <UISplitViewControllerDelegate>
#property id detailItem;
#property id TitleOfDetail;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *detailDescriptionLabel;
#end
DetailViewController.m
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#interface DetailViewController ()
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIPopoverController *masterPopoverController;
- (void)configureView;
#end
#implementation DetailViewController
#pragma mark - Managing the detail item
-(void)setTitleOfDetail:(id)newTitleOfDetail {
NSLog(#"123");
if (_TitleOfDetail != newTitleOfDetail) {
_TitleOfDetail = newTitleOfDetail;
// Update the view.
[self configureView];
}
}
-(void)setDetailItem:(id)newDetailItem
{
NSLog(#"123");
if (_detailItem != newDetailItem) {
_detailItem = newDetailItem;
// Update the view.
[self configureView];
}
if (self.masterPopoverController != nil) {
self.title = self.TitleOfDetail;
[self.masterPopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
}
- (void)configureView
{
// Update the user interface for the detail item.
NSLog(#"1%#", self.TitleOfDetail);
NSLog(#"2%#", [self.detailItem description]);
if (self.TitleOfDetail) {
self.title = self.TitleOfDetail;
}
if (self.detailItem) {
self.detailDescriptionLabel.text = [self.detailItem description];
}
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
[self configureView];
}
…
myclass.h
#class DetailViewController;
#interface myclass : UITableViewController
#property DetailViewController *detailViewController;
#end
myclass.m
#import "choiseAvtoController.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#interface myclass ()
#end
#implementation myclass
#synthesize detailViewController;
…
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
self.detailViewController.detailItem =#"123";
NSString *sss = self.detailViewController.detailItem;
NSLog(#"%#", sss);
}
In what may be the problem and how to fix it?
P.S. Sorry for my english, I'm just learning))
Since you are using a storyboard, you should be opening the detail controller on a segue.
Look up the segue identifier (say, it's OpenDetail) in the story board, then add the following code to your initial controller:
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardPopoverSegue*)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"OpenDetail"]) {
DetailViewController *dest = segue.destinationViewController;
dest.detailItem =#"123";
}
}

delegate gets null when performWithSegue

Im trying to send some info from a modal view to a delgate. But it seems like my delegate doesnt follow through, it gets null. It looks like this in IB http://i.imgur.com/7oaxb.png.
But it works if i remove the navigationController that is right before the modal view and use the buttons in the View.
please help, ive tried for like 5 hours... :/
Heres the modalViewController code:
#import
#import "Link.h"
#protocol modalViewDelegate <NSObject>
-(void)closeview;
-(void)saveLink:(Link *)link;
#end
#interface modelViewController : UIViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *titel;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *url;
#property (nonatomic, weak) id <modalViewDelegate> delegate;
- (IBAction)exitModal:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)saveLink:(id)sender;
#end
and .m:
#import "modelViewController.h"
#interface modelViewController ()
#end
#implementation modelViewController
#synthesize titel;
#synthesize url, delegate;
- (IBAction)exitModal:(id)sender {
//[self.delegate closeview];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (IBAction)saveLink:(id)sender {
if (titel.text.length > 0 && url.text.length > 0) {
NSString *urlen = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", url.text];
Link *linken = [[Link alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlen]];
linken.title = titel.text;
NSLog(#"%#", delegate); **//returns null when pressing button** it returns null if i put it in viewDidLoad to..
[self.delegate saveLink:linken];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
} else {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:#"warning" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alertView show];
}
}
#end
the MasterViewController .h (that pushes the modalview:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "modelViewController.h"
#class DetailViewController;
#interface MasterViewController : UITableViewController <modalViewDelegate>
....
and .m
#import "MasterViewController.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#implementation MasterViewController
#synthesize detailViewController = _detailViewController;
#synthesize links;
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"linkPush"]) {
// Skicka länken till detaljvyn
DetailViewController *detailVC = segue.destinationViewController;
detailVC.link = [self.links objectAtIndex:self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow.row];
NSLog(#"%#", detailVC);
}
//this is the modalview "pusher"
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"newLink"]) {
modelViewController *mvc = segue.destinationViewController;
mvc.delegate = self;
NSLog(#"%#", mvc.delegate);
}
}
- (void)closeview {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
//[self.tabBarController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
-(void)saveLink:(Link *)link{
NSLog(#"hello");
[links insertObject:link atIndex:links.count]; //updates a Tableview and works fine if delegate is called
[self.tableView reloadData];
//[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
If your destination view controller is wrapped into a navigation controller, you have to refer to it differently in prepareForSegue:
UINavigationController *nav = segue.destinationViewController;
DetailViewController *dvc = [nav.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
Now setting the properties, including the delegate, should work.
