Answer 1

if you are using push seque is the worst way, reason you increase the memory in your stack trace.
you can do this in multiple ways, search once in google you get multiple answer related to this
UnWind Segue
Protocols & delegates
local database method
using Singleton class.
Using bean object method.
using Plist
finally go for NSUserDefault

Answer 2

I created a sample using Protocols and Delegates, as follows:
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "ColorsTableViewController.h"
#interface ViewController () <ColorsDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *textDataLabel;
- (IBAction)goButtonTapped:(id)sender;
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (void)sendColor:(NSString *)colorName{
self.textDataLabel.text = colorName;
}
- (IBAction)goButtonTapped:(id)sender {
ColorsTableViewController *colorsTableViewController=(ColorsTableViewController *)[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"colorTableIdentifier"];
colorsTableViewController.delegate = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:colorsTableViewController animated:YES];
}
#end
ColorsTableViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol ColorsDelegate <NSObject>
#optional
- (void)sendColor:(NSString *)colorName;
#end
#interface ColorsTableViewController : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, assign) id<ColorsDelegate> delegate;
#end
ColorsTableViewController.m
#import "ColorsTableViewController.h"
#interface ColorsTableViewController () <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *colorsTableView;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *colorsArray;
#end
#implementation ColorsTableViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
self.colorsArray = #[#"Red",#"Green",#"Blue",#"Brown",#"Yellow"];
[self.colorsTableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"colorCell"];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return self.colorsArray.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UITableViewCell *myCell = [self.colorsTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"colorCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
UILabel *myTextLabel = [myCell.contentView viewWithTag:100];
if(!myTextLabel)
{
myTextLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 5, CGRectGetWidth(myCell.frame), CGRectGetHeight(myCell.frame))];
myTextLabel.tag = 100;
}
myTextLabel.text = self.colorsArray[indexPath.row];
[myCell.contentView addSubview:myTextLabel];
return myCell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UITableViewCell *myCell = (UITableViewCell *)[self.colorsTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UILabel *myTextLabel = [myCell.contentView viewWithTag:100];
if(myTextLabel)
{
[_delegate sendColor:myTextLabel.text];
}
}
