ios Storyboard - Push a title onto the View Controller - ios

Question

Is this piece of code suppose to set the title on the ViewController I am connecting to?
The 2 UIViewControllers are connected via a push segue - the first one is embedded in a NavigationController.
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"settingsSegue"])
{
self.navigationItem.title = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"Custom Title"];
}
}
It does not work for me, but the syntax is right.
Advance Thanks:-)

Answer 1

The above answer works for me with one exception...
Change
self.title = myTitle;
to
self.navigationItem.title = myTitle;

Answer 2

Set the title in the viewDidLoad of the destination viewcontroller using a property in the destination VC:
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"settingsSegue"]) {
MyDestinationViewController *mdvc = segue.destinationViewController;
mdvc.myTitle = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"Custom Title"];
}
Then in the viewDidLoad event in MyDestinationViewController.h:
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *myTitle;
In MyDestinationViewController.m:
#synthesize myTitle;
And finally in viewDidLoad:
self.title = myTitle;

Answer 3

You can set the title directly in the segue as well, there is no need to go through a property:
- (void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"settingsSegue"]) {
segue.destinationViewController.navigationItem.title = #"Custom Title";
}
}
Or, what I needed, to set the title of the pushed view controller to the title of the table cell that was clicked:
- (void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"settingsSegue"]) {
NSIndexPath *myIndexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
UITableViewCell *cell = [self tableView:self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:myIndexPath];
segue.destinationViewController.navigationItem.title = cell.textLabel.text;
}
}
