Store text and retrieve in the next view

Question

I have a UITextField in the first view, I have to store the text and retrieve onto the next view. Who can help me with this?

Answer 1

You should look into delegates. It allows one view to provide a callback to another view without creating tight coupling.

What exactly does delegate do in xcode ios project?

Another option is to create a shared model (read up on model view controller patterns). It's typical in that pattern to create a model and share data by getting a singleton instance of your model:

MyModel *model = [MyModel sharedInstance];

Answer 2

You can use NSUserDefaults to store the data and you can retrieve in any class

To Store:

    NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

[defaults setObject:userName.text forKey:@"userNameKey"];

To retrieve:

       NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

       NSString *userName = [prefs stringForKey:@"userNameKey"];
