iOS Utility Application

Sounds more like you have a master-detail-type app, which is commonly based on the Navigation-Based template. You should be able to find plenty of examples of this.

You are definitely probably right on this, but I can see maybe not wanting to use a table for the source. Maybe a picker view instead...



Just put a public variable in the view controller you are popping up.

@interface myCustomViewController {
NSString *poem;
}
and

@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *poem;

and

@synthesize poem;



Then when you pop up the view


myCustomViewController *myVc = [[myCustomViewController alloc] initFromNib blablahbla;

myVc.poem = @"This is my poem";

[self pushViewController:myVc animated:blahabla];

[myVc release];



Extremely bad code/pseudocode but it should give you the idea.


Even better just pass the plist ID location from the first to second view controller in this manner and read it straight from the plist when you load the new view.
