Question

I am trying to pass data from one ViewController to another using storyboard.

Please note this log message:

2012-11-13 22:25:41.711 Modern Notes[8991:15d03] DetailView - (null) 
2012-11-13 22:25:41.714 Modern Notes[8991:15d03] MainView - {
CurrentDate = "2012-11-13 05:12:46 +0000";
NoteInString = "This is the first note. It will appear here while testing the app.";
}

You will see that DetailView – has nothing and that MainView show the contents off an array.
The Array is passed on from the MainView. Now both log Messages are generated by this line:

NSLog(@"DetailView - %@", _notedict);

and

NSLog(@"MainView - %@", noteDetailViewControler.notedict);

Where notedict is the Dictionary that holds the information. As you can see (i think) in theory both Log messages should display this array right??

Now it seems strange to me that DetailView is being shown in the Log before MainView where I think it should be the other way around??

Cheers for any tips and happy to provide any details if needed.

EDIT:

ok, so this is where I am sorting my details out:

in the method:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

I have a line

noteDetailViewControler.notedict = [_listNotes objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

Now I think my problem is that this line is only set locally and is not carried over to another viewcontroller – am I right??

Answer 1

Obviously _notedict is not yet set, or already removed again, when you log it in the DetailView. You need to show us, when (in which method) you initalize the data, when you log it and when you show the mainView / detailView. We can not not help anymore with the information given right now.
