How i pass Data from SlideOut TableViewController to TableView embedded in ViewController - ios

Question

updated my .h and .m files. As mentioned i have to get the data (plist
file) from the ViewController1 tableview once rows (multiple) have
been selected to the tableview in the second view controller. Here i struggle mostly since days :)
#import "ViewController1.h"
#interface UIViewController () <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate> #end
#implementation ViewController1 {
NSArray *tableData; }
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"TableData" ofType:#"plist"];
NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
tableData = [dictionary objectForKey:#"Cupcakes"];}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. }
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [tableData count]; }
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableItem";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
#end
import "ViewController.h"
#import "SWRevealViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize count;
#synthesize countLabel;
#synthesize negative;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
negative = TRUE;
[super viewDidLoad];
_barButton.target = self.revealViewController;
_barButton.action = #selector(revealToggle:);
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
#pragma mark - TableView Deletage and Datasouce methods
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 10;
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return YES;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
}
}
- (IBAction)plus:(UIButton*)sender{
count++;
[self displayCount];
}
- (IBAction)minus:(UIButton*)sender {
count--;
if (negative){ //This simply checks if negative mode is offsw_rear
if (count < 0){ //and if count is negative
count = 0; //sets it back to zero
}}
[self displayCount];
}
- (void)displayCount {
[self.countLabel setText:[[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#"%ld", (long)self.count]];
}
- (UIViewAnimationOptions) closeAnimationCurve {
return UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut;
}
// Enabling Deepnes on left menu
- (BOOL)deepnessForLeftMenu
{
return YES;
}
// Enabling Deepnes on left menu
- (BOOL)deepnessForRightMenu
{
return YES;
}
// Enabling darkness while left menu is opening
- (CGFloat)maxDarknessWhileLeftMenu
{
return 0.50;
}
// Enabling darkness while right menu is opening
- (CGFloat)maxDarknessWhileRightMenu
{
return 0.5;
}
#end

Suppose, you have made multiple selections in your main Table.
Then using [mainTable indexPathsForSelectedRows]; will give the indexPaths of the selected cells.
Before you go to next View Controller, pass a array containing selected cells using :
1.) Create a new array in which you loop through these indexPath.row and get the elements from cupcakes Array.
NSMutableArray *selectedCellArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(NSIndexPath *index in [mainTable indexPathsForSelectedRows])
{
[selectedCellArray addObject: cupcakes[index.row]];
}
2.) Pass this to your next View Controller by creating a array property in it.
viewController.tableArray = selectedCellArray;
