Question

I have an application in which I have a webservice call that returns data as a dictionary. I want to access this dictionary in another view controller for loading the values into a table.

Can anybody demonstrate how to pass this response dictionary from one view controller to another?

Answer 1

You could define an NSDictionary property in your AnotherViewController and set it from the previous controller. I’ll give a brief example below.

//.h
@interface AnotherViewController {

  NSDictionary *data;
}
@property(nonatomic,retain) NSDictionary *data;
@end

//.m
@implementation AnotherViewController
@synthesize data;

Now from the current controller, after initializing AnotherViewController you set the dictionary before presenting it.

AnotherViewController *controller = [[AnotherViewController alloc] init];
controller.data = myCurrentDictionary;

Now AnotherViewController has a data property with the value of the previous controller.

Hope this helps.
