1,677 PointsPerforming a segue with a UITabBar
I am trying to search for a some resources on performing a segue between tabs using a UITabBar
controller. I cant find anything directly related to this. Only segues between 2 view controllers (without a UITabBar
).
Any ideas on how to do this? Essentially I am trying to pass a NSDictionary
to my second tab in my UITabBar
Thanks!

21,558 PointsTab bar or tool bar? Tool bar goes with navigation controller and tab bar goes with tab bar controller.
If it's toolbar, simply link an IBAction outlet and call performSegue:
Otherwise, you just have to set it up in storyboard (or programmatically if you feel ambitious)

1,677 PointsUITabBar
has the UITabBarController
(should have rewrote it above).
If it was a UINavigationBar
I would create an IBAction
(the part im confused on is creating it with UITabBarController
. I dont see how I would create the segue ID to each tab on the bar bar vs making a button -> segue -> view.
UITabBarControler
has 2 tabs - these 2 views are the only views within my app.
In short:
"A user will land on Tab 1 and when a user taps Tab 2 --> ---perform segue here to send data to this view---".
Thoughts?

1,677 PointsSolved this issue with creating a Singleton an calling that method where I needed to access that model:
+(TideModel*)tideSingleton {
static TideModel* tideSingleton;
if(!tideSingleton){
@synchronized(tideSingleton){
tideSingleton = [TideModel new];
}
}
return tideSingleton;
}
Example of calling it here:
[TideModel tideSingleton].tideDic = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:json];
