Question

I have created NSMutale Array in “HeroListViewController”. I want use it in another viewController which is MapTutorialViewController. I tried like this.

in HeroListViewController.h

MapTutorialViewController *maptutorialcontroller;
NSMutableArray *listData; 

set properties and synthesize them correctly

in HeroListViewController.m

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    listData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];   
    }

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)theTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *HeroTableViewCell = @"HeroTableViewCell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:HeroTableViewCell];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:HeroTableViewCell] autorelease];
}
NSManagedObject *oneHero = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSInteger tab = [tabBar.items indexOfObject:tabBar.selectedItem];
switch (tab) {
    case kByName:
        cell.textLabel.text = [oneHero valueForKey:@"name"];
        cell.detailTextLabel.text = [oneHero valueForKey:@"secretIdentity"];
        break;
    case kBySecretIdentity:
        cell.detailTextLabel.text = [oneHero valueForKey:@"name"];
        cell.textLabel.text = [oneHero valueForKey:@"secretIdentity"];
    default:
        break;
}

        [listData addObject: [oneHero valueForKey:@"secretIdentity"]];


        count=[listData count];
                printf("No of items of listData:%u\n", count);


if(maptutorialcontroller==nil){
      maptutorialcontroller= [[MapTutorialViewController    alloc]initWithNibName:@"MapTutorialViewController" bundle:nil];
maptutorialcontroller.secondarray=listData;
}
count=[maptutorialcontroller.secondarray count];
printf("No of items of seconarray :%u\n", count);

return cell;

}

OUTPUTS : No of items of listData:3
No of items of seconarray :3 // both are correct

BUT the the problem I have, when I try to use the secondarray in “MapTutorialViewController” like this,
in MapTutorialViewController.h

    HeroListViewController *heroviewcontroller;
  NSMutableArray *secondarray; 

set properties and synthesize them correctly

in MapTutorialViewController.m

 - (void)viewDidLoad 
   {
    heroviewcontroller = [[HeroListViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"HeroListViewController"  bundle:nil]; 
   self.secondarray=[heroviewcontroller.listData mutableCopy];
   //secondarray= heroviewcontroller.listData;
int count;
count = [secondarray count];
//  
   printf("No of items of secondarray from MapTutorialViewContriller :%u\n", count);
   }

OUTPUT : No of items of secondarray from MapTutorialViewContriller :0
Why it is 0

whats the wrong with my code, please help me

Answer 1

Example

firstviewcontroller .h file

        before @interface 

        use @class secondViewcontroller;


declare this inside of @interface  with

        secondViewcontroller *sVC;


then in firstViewController.m file 

        before @implementation          

    #import "secondViewcontroller.h"

then
-------------------

secondVC.h file

        @interface inside declare this

        say NSMutableArray *secondarray;

        and sythasize them.

------------------- 

after this 

        in firstViewcontroller.h viewdidload create this sVC by alloc and initwithnibname then

        sVC.secondArray=urfirstArray;

        now while u push this sVC controller to navigation controller u can nslog this array in viewdidload.
