There are a few ways to maintain communication between views (view controllers, actually) in iOS. Easiest of which for me is sending notifications. You add an observer for a notification in the view you want to make the change, and from the view that will trigger the change, you post the notification. This way you tell from ViewController B to ViewController A that "something is ready, make the change"
This, of course, requires your receiver view to be created and already be listening for the notification.
In ViewController B (sender)
- (void)yourButtonAction:(id)sender
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"theChange" object:nil];
}
In ViewController A (receiver) Add the observer to listen for the notification:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
//.........
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(makeTheChange) name:@"theChange" object:nil];
}
Do NOT forget to remove it (in this case, on dealloc)
- (void)dealloc
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:@"theChange" object:nil];
[super dealloc];
}
And finally, the method that will update your label
- (void)makeTheChange
{
yourLabel.text = @"your new text";
}
Not sure if it's a good solution, but you could store the text in a global NSString when clicking on the button, then put that string into your label when loading the second view.
