Question

First view:
consists of a textview(user input) & button(pressing on this button takes u to the second view)

Second View:
consists of a label

i want the label to display what the user wrote in the first view.

Answer 1

Take this in .h file in SecondViewController

NSString *strUserInput;

Make below function in seconviewcontroller

-(void)setUserInput:(NSString *)strEntered{
    strUserInput=strEntered;
}

Now In first view controller do like this:

SecondViewControler *objSecond = [[SecondViewController] initwithNibName:@"secondview.xib" bundle:nil];

[objSecond setUserInput:txtUserInput.text];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:objSecond animated:YES];
[objSecond release];

Now, In secondViewController viewWillAppear Method write this.

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
      lblUserInput.text = strUserInput;
}

Please check spelling mistakes as I hand written this. Hope this help.

If you are not using navigationContoller then you can do something like this.

SecondViewControler *objSecond = [[SecondViewController] initwithNibName:@"secondview.xib" bundle:nil];
[objSecond setUserInput:txtUserInput.text];
[objSecond viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.view addSubview:objSecond];
[objSecond release];
