Question

I want to load data (an array of strings) from the parent view into a set of UITextFields in the child view upon presenting the modalView.

I know how to pass from child to parent, and I’m sure it’s even easier to go the other way, but I don’t know how.

UPDATE: Update removed because I found the problem (double releasing of modal view)

Answer 1

Override the init method for the child view controller.

- (id) initWithStrings:(NSArray *)string {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        // Do stuff....
    }
    return self;
}

Then in the parent:

MyChildViewController *vc = [[[MyChildViewController alloc] initWithStrings: strings] autorelease];
