Question

I have loaded an array (recordArray) in RootViewController class which I need to pass to the DetailViewController class so that I can access any variable within it. I can pass a single value successfully, but I cannot get how to pass the whole array across.

I have created a second NSMutableArray recordArray in DetailsViewController.h, added the @property statement (with retain), and synthesized in DetailsViewController.m. I then added the following line in DetailsViewController.m

recordArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:self.recordArray];

but that just gives me an empty array in the detail view.

I have read through some of the posts on this, but have not found anything which I understand sufficiently to be able to implement. I expect I’m going about this all wrong….

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Answer 1

Please refer to this code:

iPhone SDK: How do I pass an array of values from a ViewController onto other ViewController?

There you can refer to Satya‘s answer.

Let me know if you need more help

EDIT:

Let us assume that there is an NSArray called secondArray declared in SecondViewController

Define a method in SecondViewController which says:

-(void)setValue:(NSArray *)array
{
    secondArray = array;
}

Hope this helps.
