how to pass image from view controller to tab bar with segue? - ios

Question

I am at a loss as to how to pass a selected image in one view controller to a tab bar controller using a segue, i keep on getting "unrecognized selector sent to instance ...". Here is my prepare for segue in a ViewController3 :
if ([[segue identifier]isEqualToString:#"tabbarGo"]) {
UITabBarController *tabar=segue.destinationViewController;
UINavigationController *navController = [tabar.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];
ViewController5 *fifthView=[navController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
fifthView.theImage = selectedImage.image;
[tabar setSelectedIndex:1];
}
i have imported ViewController5 into ViewController3 as 5 is the tab bar controller and the m file for viewcontroller5 is as follows :
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ViewController5.h"
#import "ViewController3.h"
#interface ViewController5 ()
#end
#implementation ViewController5
#synthesize theImage;
-(void)setImage:(UIImage *)image
{
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[_imageView setImage:theImage];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}
#end
I do not understand what i am doing wrong and have gone through most of the posts, or should i go through a "NSUserDefaults *prefs" approach to this ?
Any help appreciated and thanks.

ok got it to work to send an image to a tab bar with navigation controller by adding one line of code, i was forgetting to specify the NSString value of the segue so here is the final full code for "prepare for segue" :
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
NSString * segueIdentifier = [segue identifier];
UITabBarController *tabar=segue.destinationViewController;
UINavigationController *navController = [tabar.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];
ViewController5 *fifthView=[navController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
fifthView.theImage = selectedImage.image;
[tabar setSelectedIndex:1];
}
