Destination ViewController not changing after segue - ios

My destination ViewController has a number of labels and images which need to be changed dependent on the specific previous ViewController. I have a segue set up which should change these but for some reason it is not, even though the segue is being called.
My initial ViewController has a button which has a segue passing to the next ViewController with the name "aName". I'm probably missing something simple but I have been following another section of my code which does the exact same thing and works! I have also tested that the segue is successfully being called with a NSLog which returns fine. All the IBOutlets are also assigned correctly.
Initial View Controller.m:
#import "dViewController.h"
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"aName"]) {
dViewController *dVC = (dViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
dVC.TitleLabel.text = #"abc";
dVC.1Img.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"somepath.jpg"];
dVC.2Img.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"somepath2.jpg"];
[dVC.1Button setTitle:#"abcd" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[dVC.1Button setTitle:#"efgh" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
Destination ViewController:
dViewController.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *TitleLabel;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *1Img;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *2Img;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *1Button;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *2Button;
Edit: From doing some more looking around I think I should be using a delegate. It seems quite complicated and not really sure where I start. But I'll have a go at looking at what's in this thread: Changing label's text in another view controller

you have to create a variable for each label you want to change and in viewDidLoad assing the variable to the label.text
for example
- (void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"aName"]) {
dViewController *dVC = (dViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
dVC.titleString = #"abc";
dVC.1Image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"somepath.jpg"];
dVC.2Image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"somepath2.jpg"];
dVC.1ButtonString=#"ButtonTitle";
dVC.2ButtonString=#"ButtonTitle2";
}
in DestinationController
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *TitleLabel;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *1Img;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *2Img;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *1Button;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *2Button;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString *2ButtonString;
#property(strong,nonatomic)UIImage*1Image;
#property(strong,nonatomic)UIImage*2Image;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString* titleString;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString *1ButtonString;
#property(strong,nonatomic)UIImageView *1Img;
#property(strong,nonatomic)UIImageView *1Img;
- (void)viewDidLoad{
self.TitleLabel.text = self.titleString;
self.1Img.image = self.1Image;
self.2Img.image = self.2Image;
[self.1Button setTitle:self.1ButtonString];
[self.2Button setTitle:self.1ButtonString];
}
hope It help you, the problem is that with
dViewController *dVC = (dViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
you only bring the controller not the view. and the IBOutlet belongs to the view and the view is not load i hope you understand

Read about app navigation principles. From apple:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/WindowsViews/Conceptual/ViewControllerCatalog/Chapters/NavigationControllers.html

Put parentheses around segue.destinationViewController like this:
dViewController *dVC = (dViewController *)(segue.destinationViewController);

UILabel text property iOS

I would like to modify the text property of a UILabel (nameLbl) but don't know what i am wrong.
I have 2 Views, the first is a ViewController, the second is ProfileViewController. The ProfileViewController fill some field of user profile this data are passed to ViewController and showed in UIlabel.
The issue is I can't show the datas in the ViewController.
What am I get wrong?
---ViewController.h---
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
IBOutlet ViewController *profile;
IBOutlet UILabel *nameLbl, *celLbl, *cfLbl;
IBOutlet UITextField *nameTF;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet ViewController *profile;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *nameLbl, *celLbl, *cfLbl;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *nameTF;
-(void) setUser: (NSString *) name:(NSString *) cel:(NSString *) cf;
#end
---ViewController.m---
#synthesize nameLbl, celLbl, cfLbl;
-(void) setUser:(NSString *)name:(NSString *)cel:(NSString *)cf
{
nameLbl = [[UILabel alloc] init];
[nameLbl setText:name];
}
this is the connection inspector
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz7WcQmZNuFLMWt3QUo1Tk5XUW8/edit?usp=sharing
Remove
nameLbl = [[UILabel alloc] init];
from your code it seems that the nameLbl UILabel has already been initialized from nib, and you are creating a new memory reference, so its not working.

How to change value for UITextField and UISwitch from childViewController in parentViewController

I found a lot of how to use methods of chlidViewController. But I couldn't find how to change and set value of uitextfield and uiswitch from childViewController.
ChildViewController.h:
#protocol VVInformationTableViewControllerDelegate;
#interface VVInformationTableViewController : UITableViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) id<VVInformationTableViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *nameTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *surnameTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *emailTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *locationTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *headlineTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *positionTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *companyTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISwitch *messagesEnable;
#end
ParentViewControler.m:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.currentAttendee = [VVAPIClient sharedClient].currentUser;
NSParameterAssert(self.currentAttendee);
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
self.infoTableController = [[VVInformationTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InformationTableViewController" bundle:nil];
[self addChildViewController:self.infoTableController];
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
self.infoTableController.nameTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.firstName?:#"";
self.infoTableController.surnameTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.lastName?:#"";
self.infoTableController.emailTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.email?:#"";
self.infoTableController.locationTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.location?:#"";
self.infoTableController.headlineTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.headline?:#"";
self.infoTableController.positionTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.position?:#"";
self.infoTableController.companyTextField.text = self.currentAttendee.company?:#"";
}
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{
self.infoTableController.messagesEnable.on = NO;
self.infoTableController.nameTextField.tag = 0;
self.infoTableController.surnameTextField.tag = 1;
self.infoTableController.emailTextField.tag = 2;
self.infoTableController.locationTextField.tag = 3;
self.infoTableController.headlineTextField.tag = 5;
self.infoTableController.positionTextField.tag = 6;
self.infoTableController.companyTextField.tag = 7;
}
Thanks for help.
As david says in his comment, don't.
It violates the encapsulation of the other view controller, and leads to spaghetti code.
You should treat another VCs (View Controller's) views as private.
What you should do is add properties to the child view controller to hold strings and other state data that you need to display. Then in your child view controller's viewWillAppear method, you can take the settings and apply them to your view hierarchy.
In your case, since what you're doing is displaying a whole bunch of information about "currentAttendee", (which I guess is a model object) you might want to think about passing a pointer to the whole attendee object to the child, and letting it display the information itself.
Or, of the child can edit the object, you might want to pass a copy, and use a delegate method when you want to commit the changes made in the child, or simply return if you want to discard changes.

UIButton won't hide/unhide

I set UIButton myButton to hidden on viewDidLoad
In a splitviewcontroller I have it so that when I click on a tablecell, certain items unhide which works great for my textviews but my button is giving me this:
ERROR: member reference base type void is not a structure or union
Here is some snippet of code:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
detailViewController.myButton.hidden= NO;
detailViewController.textView1.hidden= NO;
detailViewController.textView2.hidden= NO;
}
in the .h file there is
#property (strong, nonatomic) DetailViewController *detailViewController;
in DetailViewController is where the button and textviews are declared as
#interface DetailViewController : UIViewController <UISplitViewControllerDelegate>{
IBOutlet UIButton *myButton;
IBOutlet UITextView *textView1;
IBOutlet UITextView *textView2;
}
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *textView1;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *textView2;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *myButton;
-(IBAction)myButtonPressed;
#end
IBAction myButtonPressed in the DetailViewController.m is
-(IBAction)myButtonPressed{
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
RootViewController *RVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Root"];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate.window.RootViewController = RVC;
}
Anyone have any thoughts on why the button won't behave like the other two will? Is it because I gave it an IBAction??
You forget to Put IBOutlet at the first of button creation it should be
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *myButton; OR
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton *myButton;
And give proper connection to file's owner.
Button should be a IBOutlet and please correct it and update XIB references and you should be good.
#property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton * myButton;
link this to UIButton is XIB if you are using one.

'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UINavigationController setMed:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x746dda0'

I am making an app that will help people with certain health conditions manage their medication. I have created a modal to add medication which works and saves the new medication using core data.
I am now trying to allow people to edit their medication after it has been saved. To do this I am trying to send a managed object of the medication to a "fibromappMedsEditViewController" and assign the information in the viewDidLoad method of the class.
I keep getting this error:
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UINavigationController setMed:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x746dda0'
Could anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
relevant methods in fibromappMedsListViewController.m
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{ //selMed declared at top of file as NSManagedObject *selMed;
selMed = [self.meds objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"SELECTED MED: %#",[selMed valueForKey:#"name"] );
UIStoryboardSegue *segueString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",#"editMeds"];
NSLog(#"%#",segueString);
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"editMeds" sender:indexPath];
}
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
NSLog(#"%#",segue.destinationViewController);
NSLog(#"%#",[selMed valueForKey:#"name"] );
fibroMappMedsEditViewController *dest = segue.destinationViewController;
dest.med = selMed;
}
The fibroMappMedsEditViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface fibroMappMedsEditViewController : UITableViewController
- (IBAction)saveChanges:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)deleteBtnPressed:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)dosageChanged:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)maxDosageChanged:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)cancel:(id)sender;

#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIStepper *stepperMaxDose;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISegmentedControl *changeMeasure;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObject *med;
#end
The fibroMappMedsEditViewController.m - just the parts I altered that affect the way the controller loads
#import "fibroMappMedsEditViewController.h"
#import "fibroMappAppDelegate.h"
#import <CoreData/CoreData.h>
#interface fibroMappMedsEditViewController ()
#end
#implementation fibroMappMedsEditViewController
#synthesize tbName;
#synthesize tbDose;
#synthesize tbMaxDose;
#synthesize tbType;
#synthesize med;
double dose;
double maxDose;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
tbName.text = [med valueForKey:#"name"];//name is a string in the model
tbDose.text = [med valueForKey:#"dose"];//dose is a double in the model
tbMaxDose.text = [med valueForKey:#"maxDose"];//maxDose is a double in the model
tbType.text = [med valueForKey:#"type"];//type is a string in the model
}
If you need to see anything else please just ask.
Also, I am using storyboards for this app.
It appears from that log, that your fibroMappMedsEditViewController (which should start with a capital letter BTW) is embedded in a navigation controller. You need to get to that navigation controller's root view controller.
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
UINavigationController *nav = segue.destinationViewController;
fibroMappMedsEditViewController *dest = (fibroMappMedsEditViewController *)nav.topViewController;
dest.med = selMed;
}

how to implement a button to switch in another view

i'm new to developing with xcode,and i'm following the apple's tutorial:"Second's ios app tutorial". I've add a button to my scene "Add Sighting View Controller",and i want to switch this view to another(BirdsViewController)that have a list of bird's names. in my storyboard i've create a segue between the button and BirdsViewController and also connect the button to touch up inside, but when i run the app the button doesn't appear.Can anybody help me?thank you.
here's my code(i don't have implemented any other methods):
AddSightingViewController.h
#class BirdSighting;
#interface AddSightingViewController : UITableViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *birdNameInput;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *locationInput;
#property (strong, nonatomic) BirdSighting *birdSighting;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *showBirds;
-(IBAction)displayBirds:(id)sender;
AddSightingViewController.m
#import "AddSightingViewController.h"
#import "BirdSighting.h"
#import "BirdsViewController.h"
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class BirdSighting;
#interface AddSightingViewController ()
#end
#implementation AddSightingViewController
#synthesize showBirds;
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
if((textField == self.birdNameInput) || (textField == self.locationInput)) {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
}
return YES;
}
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"ReurnInput"]) {
if ([self.birdNameInput.text length] || [self.locationInput.text length])
{
BirdSighting *sighting;
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
sighting = [[BirdSighting alloc] initWithName:self.birdNameInput.text
location:self.locationInput.text date:today];
self.birdSighting = sighting;
}
}
}
BirdsViewController *viewController;
-(IBAction)showBirds:(id)sender {
viewController =
[[BirdsViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"BirdsViewController" bundle:nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
}
I dont see any allocation and adding of button as subview to the viewcontroller's view.
I think in the app like other textfields, button is also IBOutlet. Declare button as an IBOutlet and connect the outlet to the button in the interface builder file.
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *showBirds;
Or allocate the button and add as subview to viewcontroller's view.
