For example I have 3 views:
SaveContactView (TableView - Editable)
DetailedContactView (View - Display only)
ListContactView (TableView - Display List)
ListContactView contains dynamic records of Customers. Tap on cell will segue to DetailedContactView.
ListContactView contains 'add' button which segue to SaveContactView.
SaveContactView when user save will go to DetailedContactView.
DetailedContactView, user can 'edit' and goes back to SaveContactView
This is my question:
ListContactView to DetailedContactView OR SaveContactView to DetailedContactView
On viewDidLoad on DetailedcontactView is it possible to call different methods/functions when he comes from a certain view?
I do not want to create some redundant extra duplicated 'alike' view. So is there any best approach?
You can simply apply a check in viewDidLoad of your DetailedContactView that who is the parent of this view.
If you are using push segue then check the parent view controller of this view controller in UINavigationControler stack.
If you are modally present this DetailedContactView then find the [self presentingViewController] and take appropriate action.
Or set a flag from last page to distinguish between parents.
May be this will help you.
The correct way is to implement -prepareForSegue:sender: of SaveContactView and of ListContactView. Cast the destination of the segue to DetailedContactView type and perform custom setup.
// SaveContactView
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
sender:(id)sender
{
DetailedContactView *detailedVC = segue.sourceViewController;
[detailedVC setupForShowingFromSaveView];
}
// ListContactView
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
sender:(id)sender
{
DetailedContactView *detailedVC = segue.sourceViewController;
[detailedVC setupForShowingFromListView];
}

I'm trying to create a manual segue, which happens only if there is a certain conidition (a successful login).
The steps I have followed are these:
1) I've created a button in source viewcontroller, and i connected the button with a drag with the destination viewcontroller.
2) I set the identifier for the segue, calling it login_ok
3) I've created a -(IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
Now, I tried to make an example, to see if the work or not. I wrote:
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
BOOL test = false;
if(test == true)
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"login_ok" sender:self];
}
Theoretically, the segue should not work, because i set test=false, and i said the segue should work only if test=true.
But the segue works and makes me go to the destination viewcontroller.
Why?
If you connected the button with a drag to the destination controller, it should segue anyway.
You need to connect the segue between screens and not from the button to the screen. Then, you can control your segue from the code.
You should define your segue between controllers not from button to the controller. Defining segue between view controllers is more useful than defining segue from any component to a view controller, because when you want to use a condition for any action, you can use these two methods effectively
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"segueID" sender:self];
and
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
For example:
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
BOOL test = YES;
if(test == YES)
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"login_ok" sender:self];
}
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"login_ok"])
{
YourNextController *controller = [segue destinationViewController];
controller.welcomeText = #"Hi! Test is true congratulations";
}
}
Especially passing data from controller to another one, this way is always useful.
I'm new on Stackoverflow and I'm currently learning XCode from scratch and I'm in a process of making a Single Page Application with options.
Anyone knows how to efficiently make a simple menu with multiple selectable UIButtons that make the main ViewController display different datasets depending on the selection in XCode?
Tried different things (creating SecondViewController for example but can't figure out how to pass data from it to main ViewController).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How to pass prepareForSegue: an object
Simple Test from above Answer Reference:
Simply grab a reference to the target view controller in prepareForSegue: method and pass any objects you need to there. Here's an example...
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
// Make sure your segue name in storyboard is the same as this line
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"YOUR_SEGUE_NAME_HERE"])
{
// Get reference to the destination view controller
YourViewController *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
// Pass any objects to the view controller here, like...
[vc setMyObjectHere:object];
}
}
REVISION: You can also use performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: method to activate the transition to a new view based on a selection or button press.
For instance, consider I had two view controllers. The first contains three buttons and the second needs to know which of those buttons has been pressed before the transition. You could wire the buttons up to an IBAction in your code which uses performSegueWithIdentifier: method, like this...
//When any of my buttons are pressed, push the next view
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"MySegue" sender:sender];
}
// This will get called too before the view appears
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"MySegue"]) {
// Get destination view
SecondView *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
// Get button tag number (or do whatever you need to do here, based on your object
NSInteger tagIndex = [(UIButton *)sender tag];
// Pass the information to your destination view
[vc setSelectedButton:tagIndex];
}
}
Hope this help but please go through refernces!
This is probably a basic question - but I cant seem to find the answer to it in my searches!
I have a uiview setup which contains two input areas which are linked to a child modal view via separate segues.
this is my parent prepare for segue method -
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"goalInfo"])
{
[segue.destinationViewController setYourGoalViewController:self];
}
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"longGoalInfo"])
{
[segue.destinationViewController setYourGoalViewController:self];
}
}
basically i'd like to determine which segue had been used in the child view so I can apply the relevant filed updates and alter a title/description in the child view. - I basically need something very similar to
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"goalInfo"])
but i'm not sure how to access this from teh child? Any tips?
The segue identifier is check on the source ViewController during its prepareForSegue: method. What you rather need is during prepare for segue is to set properties on the destination viewController and then when it loads, read these properties and set UI outlets.
Look at this example: I am stuck at presenting a full image on tapping the cell in UICollectionViewController. It's about CollectionVC and its detailVC, but the principle is the same.
Okey guys, here's the deal...
I'm trying to connect two views with one segue and writing in Label a tag from clicked button. I hope you know what I mean...
Here's the example:
Title view appears and you have to choose the difficulty 1-3 (tag values of buttons) and after clicking your're moved to game view but you'd like to use tag values from title view buttons in game logic.
Here's the sample screen:
This is what I've found and this perfectly suits!
// When any of my buttons are pressed, push the next view
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"Segue" sender:sender];
}
// This will get called before the view appears
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"Segue"]) {
// Get destination view
SecondView *vc = [segue destinationViewController];
// Get button tag number (or do whatever you need to do here, based on your object
NSInteger tagIndex = [(UIButton *)sender tag];
// Pass the information to your destination view
[vc setSelectedButton:tagIndex];
}
}
And here is the link to whole topic.
Set your buttons to trigger the segue that presents the second view controller.
In your first view controller, implement - (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender and use the sender to retrieve the tag.
I have a view controller with 2 different segues that goes to 2 different view controller,and i have to implement the cancel button in both the controllers.When i press the cancel button,in both the controller,the view will return to the initial view controller.My question is how can i implement the buttons?When i try with this code the compiler warning:Multiple declaration of method "cancel:" found and ignored.Thank you.
interface:
-(IBAction)cancel:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue;
-(IBAction)done:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue;
-(IBAction)cancel:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue;
implementation:
-(IBAction)done:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
{
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"ReturnInput"]){
AddSightingViewController *addController = [segue sourceViewController];
if (addController.birdSighting) {
[self.dataController
addBirdSightingWithSighting:addController.birdSighting];
[[self tableView]reloadData];
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
}
-(IBAction)cancel:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
{
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"CancelInput"]){
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
}
I'm not sure of what you're trying to do. But I think the cancel method needs to be in the 2 child View Controllers, not in the main one. One for each controller (and one cancel button for each view). That way you won't have any problems with multiple declarations of a method.
From your code I conclude that you are using (or want use) exit segues for canceling.
First, you should only have one method declaration and implementation for your cancel method in the initial view controller. In your storyboard create exit segues by control-dragging from your cancel buttons to the green exit icon blow the view controller and select the cancel method defined in the initial view controller. Do that for both view controllers. You should also give your exit segues different identifiers in your storyboard (you need to select the segue in the Document Outline to change its identifier).
Then your cancel method in your initial view controller can look something like this:
-(IBAction)cancel:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
{
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"CancelInput1"]) {
// Do something
} else if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"CancelInput2"]) {
// Do something different
}
}
If you don't want to do anything when canceling just leave the method empty.
If you wan't to go back you need to implement an unwind segue.
To do this, define a method to go back on the original view controller (the one you want to go back). You can leave the method empty.
- (IBAction)methodName:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue
{
}
Then on IB ctrl + drag from the button (or from the view controller) to the green "exit" icon. Select the methodName from the popup menu. If you did it from the view controller set the identifier on the segue and call it with performSegueWithIdentifier: from the button action.
Considerations:
The method name will be detected in every view controller on the storyboard.
You can define the same method name in different view controllers, but when you execute the unwind segue, you will go back to the most recent on the navigation path.
