Question

I need to get an NSString from my parent view controller to its child view.

So I have ‘ParentView’ —-> ‘ChildView’

And I need to get the string from ParentView to ChildView. I have tried adding a method which returns a string in my ParentView and calling it like so in the ChildView with no luck.

Doesn’t work:

ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] init];
startDateLbl.text = [vc string];

Any help as to how to achieve this would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

This line ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] init]; will create a new object.

Just giving you a simple code hope you get it

ChildViewController *viewController = [[ChildViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ChildViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
//here set your label, make sure startDateLbl has getter property
viewController.startDateLbl.text = [vc string];
