Question

Basically, I am adding items to a table in a new view and if the user hits save, I want the view to pop off, and the previous table view to update showing the new addition. Any ideas on how to accomplish this task?

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"PersonTableViewCell"];

    if(!cell){
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"PersonTableViewCell"]autorelease]; 
    }
    p = [friendsArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];

    [[cell textLabel] setText:[p description]];
    return cell;
}

You can try first pop the current view controller by:

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Then in your table view controller’s viewDidAppear or viewWillAppear, call

[self reloadData];

to update.
