Question

I want to pass information between ViewControllers using Storyboard, but I get an error… my code is as follows

- (void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"ToAssistance"])
    {
        NSLog(@"To assistance");
    }
    else if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"ToMap"])
    {
        UINavigationController * navController = (UINavigationController *)[segue destinationViewController];
        EventMapViewController * eventMapViewController = (EventMapViewController *)[navController topViewController];
    }
}

But at line

EventMapViewController * eventMapViewController = (EventMapViewController *)[navController topViewController];

I get the following exception

2012-04-23 19:49:00.369 StoryboardAssistance[9916:11603]

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

According to your exception it seems that you are asking the “eventMapViewController” for its topviewontroller, which clearly doesnt exists since it is not a navigation controller. IF you check where you ask for it you can see here

[navController topViewController];

that navcontroller is in fact a controller of type “EventMapViewController”, which would mean that this

UINavigationController * navController = (UINavigationController *)[segue destinationViewController];

is not giving you a uinavigationcontroller but in fact the “EventMapViewController” you want. so just remove those 2 lines and add

EventMapViewController * eventMapViewController = (EventMapViewController *)[segue destinationViewController];

if this doesnt work, then please comment this line

EventMapViewController * eventMapViewController = (EventMapViewController *)[navController topViewController];

and add a

NSLog(@"%@",navController);

and tell me the output.
