Keeping UIImageView Between Views

[mJusticz]

Hello All,

I'm a new member to the forum but a long time reader. I've just started developing apps for the iPhone after screwing around with the SDK for a while.

Anyway, I've started a new app and need help with an imageview.

I have two views, and on the bottom of each view it has a button to flip to the other. On the first side, it has two buttons (in addition to the flipping button on the bottom) to either select an existing image, or to take a new one.

Once the image is selected, it displays the image in an imageview right above the buttons. Up to this point, everything works correctly.

Here's where I'm getting stuck:

I need to display the selected image on a separate view. I'm not sure how to take the selected image and bring it over to the other view, and after 3 hours of googling, I still can't figure this out.

Thank you in advance, and I hope to contribute here once I get this issue sorted out.

Thanks,

Max

Sorry, but I have to give this a bumpety bump bump bump.

In your second view, have a method for setting the new UIImageView:

-(void)setTheImage:(UIImage*)anImage {
   [theImageView setImage:anImage];
}

Then, when you call the second view, add the following:

[theSecondView setTheImage:myFirstImageView.image];

Or something along those lines.

Thanks so much, Harry. Much appreciated.

I'm having an issue with this part

[theSecondView setTheImage:myFirstImageView.image];

Mainly, where do I put it? You say to put it where I call the second view. I'm using a utility template with the info button, so I put it in the showInfo action, (I'm not sure if that's a n00b mistake.).

So, where does this line go?

[FlipsideViewController setTheImage:imageView.image];

I've never used the utility template, but from the sounds of it, putting the code in the showInfo method should be fine.

[mJusticz]

I'm not sure why, but when I put it into "showInfo," the whole app freezes when I do press the info button. Any ideas? In fact, no matter where I put it, it freezes. It gives me the warning "FlipsideViewController may not respond to +setTheImage."

[harrytheshark]

You need to put the method "setTheImage" in the FlipsideViewController, mentioning it in the .h file

[mJusticz]

Ok. I'm still not getting it, and it is still getting stuck when I hit the flip button. Would you mind taking a look at my .proj file? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your time,

Max
