Pass data through navigation back button

Question

I am in this situation:

I am passing 4 array from Progress Table to Detail Exercise using prepare for segue and it works fine! The problem begin when I try

Answer 1

Typically, protocols and delegates are used to pass data back and forth between screens.

// Define a delegate that is known to both view controllers
protocol DetailsExerciseDelegate {
    func detailsWillDisappear(...);
}

class DetailsExerciseViewController {
    // Accept the delegate as a property on the details view controller
    var delegate : DetailsExerciseDelegate

    override func viewWillDisappear(animated : Bool) {
        super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

        // When you want to send data back to the caller
        // call the method on the delegate
        if let delegate = self.delegate {
            delegate.detailsWillDisappear(/* your data in one or more parameters */)
        }
    }
}

// Implement the delegate by adding the required function
class ProgressTableViewController: DetailsExerciseDelegate {
    ...

    func detailsWillDisappear(...) {
        // When the child calls the function, update the screen
        historyView.isFirstTime = false
        historyView.arrayData = arrayDataDetails
        historyView.arrayRipetizioni = arrayRipetizioniDetails
        historyView.arrayPeso = arrayPesoDetails
        historyView.arrayRecupero = arrayRecuperoDetails
        historyView.tableView.reloadData()
    }

    override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue?, sender: AnyObject?) {
        if segue!.identifier == "DetailsExcercise" {
            // And finally, when launching the child view,
            // make sure to set the delegate.
            let viewController = segue!.destinationViewController as DetailsExerciseViewController
            viewController.delegate = self
        }
    }
}

That being said, it seems non-standard to try to save the data when clicking the back button. Are you sure you don't want to do this on "Done" instead?
