Moving back from a Controller to a previous one

Question

I\'m trying to switch back from my UIViewController to my UITableViewController but apperendly it\'s not working the way I want it to. I did create my Interface with storybo

Answer 1

You don't push back. That creates a new instance of the previous controller class. You pop back. You can accomplish that 2 ways.

1: In code put in the following statement when you want to return (pop) to you tablet view controller.

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

2: If you want to do it in storyboard you need to implement the following custom segue class:

implementation

//  PopSegue.m

#import "PopSegue.h"

@implementation PopSegue

- (void) perform {

    UIViewController *src = (UIViewController *) self.sourceViewController;
[src.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

and header

//  PopSegue.h

#import 

@interface PopSegue : UIStoryboardSegue

@end

Place this method in your UIViewController to set a property back to your UITableViewController:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"goBackToTableView"])  {
    [[segue destinationViewController] set{whatEverProperyYouWantTo}: {valueOfPropertyToSet}];
    }
}
