UILabel not updating

Question

Sorry the basic question, but this bugs me for a while now.

I create a details view from a UITable and try to dynamically set its labels, but they are not updating:

Answer 1

That's because the controller's view is lazily created only when accessed. Pushing the controller accesses the view.

Alternatively, if you add a line to access the view property, it will work too:

  myViewController *tmpVC = [[myViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NIBfile" bundle:nil];
  tmpVC.view;   // Force view creation
  [tmpVC.myLabel setText:tmpObj.myTitle];   // The debugger shows the text: myTitle = "myText"
  NSLog(@"%@", tmpVC.myLabel);              // NSLog will display "myText"
  [self.navigationController pushViewController:tmpVC animated:YES];
