Pass variable to View Controller Embedded in Navigation Controller in Objective-C












0















I have embedded a destination viewcontroller in a navigation controller and am now unable to pass it a variable.



My code is:



    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
//THis is the navigation controller
UIViewController *destVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myNav"];
//This is the view controller embedded in the nav
IDNowVC* myVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myVC"];
myVC.sender = @1;//for contacts

[self presentViewController:destVC animated:YES completion:nil];


After the launch of the VC, sender property is nil. It is not getting the value @1.



What am I missing?



Thanks for any suggestions.

          In your code you have a comment that says:




          //This is the view controller embedded in the nav




          However, the view controller below that comment is not the one embedded in your navigation controller. It's a completely new controller that is created at that line and disposed of at the end of the function.



          You need something more like this:



          UINavigationController *destVC = (UINavigationController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myNav"];
          IDNowVC* myVC = destVC.childViewControllers[0];
          myVC.sender = @1;


          There might be some syntax issues with the above...

          • Yes. That was it. I guess you could also instantiate myVC from storyboard, then get the nav from myNav using [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: myVC ];and launch myNav. You just can't instantiate both from storyboard and expect them to be connected.

          • No. If you instantiate myVC from the storyboard, then it won't be connected to a UINavigationController.
