Perform method using storyboard segue

Question

I have a method on my 2nd View Controller that sets a label's text from a value from the 1st View Controller. How can I call the method on prepareForSegue? I have set my method on the 2nd VC as -(void)setName:(NSString *)name; Then I call it in the prepareForSegue as [secondVC setName:@"Steve Jobs"]; but the label doesn't seem to change its text, though I can see the value when I NSLog the name variable.

Answer 1

You're trying to set the text on a label that hasn't been loaded yet because prepareForSeque happens before viewDidLoad.

One solution is to set the text on a property of the second VC in prepareForSegue and then configure the label with that text in viewDidLoad.
