Question

I have a text field in my app. I am trying to store whatever is entered into the text field in an array and display it in my root view controller (which is a table view) on click of a button.

The method for the button is as follows:

-(IBAction)addNewCountry:(id)sender
{

    [rootViewController.details addObject:nameField.text];
    NSLog(@"Country name is %@", rootViewController.details);
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:rootViewController animated:YES];
    [rootViewController.tableView reloadData];
    NSLog(@"new country added");
}

details is the array declared in RootViewController

However, the text field text is not retrieved. Can anybody tell me what am i missing?

Answer 1

You cont directly insert your string data to your array, you need to store as a string

NSString *stringval = [NSString stringWithString: nameField.text];

then add it in to your string using addobject

[rootViewController.details addObject: stringcal];
