Calling method from another ViewController

Question

I have a ViewControllerA and a ViewControllerB. I want calling a method of ViewControllerA from ViewControllerB.

In ViewControllerA is present a method:

  -(NSMutableArray*) loadData;

In ViewControllerB.h:

 #import "ViewControllerA.h"
  .......
 @property (nonatomic, strong) ViewControllerA * viewControllerA;
 @property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray * mutableArray;

In ViewControllerB.m:

self.mutableArray =[viewControllerA loadData];

but the method is not calling. Why? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are missing

self.

As long as somewhere in viewControllerB:

self.viewControllerA = [[viewControllerA alloc]init];  //or some other initialization occurs...

then:

self.mutableArray =[self.viewControllerA loadData];

will work.

Answer 2

Make sure that the method loadData is specified in viewControllerB's header file.

- (void)loadData;

After than, you can now call the method loadData.

[viewControllerA loadData];
