Question

I simply want to access a NSString from my first class in my second class.

I used properties in my first class and this:

NSLog(@"The text is: %@", self.fileText);

returns the correct string in my first class.

But in my second class, this:

FirstViewController* controller = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
NSLog(@"text: %@", controller.fileText);

returns (null).

I imported the class correctly.
What could I have done wrong?

Answer 1

Use this

//in your first class
NSUserDefaults *strinToSave= [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[strinToSave setObject:self.fileText forKey:@"filTextString"];

and to retrieve saved data in the second class, use this:

NSString *yourString=[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"filTextString"];
//use yourString however you want

NSLog(@"%@",yourString);
