iOS How to use IBAction (Button Press) in ViewDidLoad/ViewWillAppear?

[Terenc3]

Hi and thanks for reading.

I want to automate this part of my code:

Whenever a view loads, I will need to click a button (IBAction for Loading Data From NSUserDefaults) inorder for all saved data to be displayed.

However, I wish for this to happen without me clicking and all will appear automatically once view appears.

I reckon it will be good to use ViewDidLoad or ViewWillAppear (By putting an IBAction command in it). I am not entirely sure how to implement this.

Anybody can help me?

How much do you know about just calling a method in general?

Why have a button after all when it's automatic? ;o
You need to know what methods are, how to call them (which is actually really really easy basics of the development).
Just put your code from the button in a method, call that wherever you want it to be (the method), and you should be on your way, don't really see the issue here.

Yea.. Thing is that, I had no programming background at all and my project are all meshes learnt from the web .. Hence, I really have no idea how . Meanwhile, I am still googling around though.. Thanks for your replies anyways!

P.S: How do I automate load function without the button then?

In that case, I'm gonna suggest you step away from the real coding and spend some time learning the fundamentals of Objective-C / iOS programming. Knowing the basics is only going to help you in the long-run. Patching together code snippets from the internet is not a sound approach, IMHO, to developing a well-written application.

Check out Apple's iOS tutorials

Hi Terenc3,

I'm just getting going with iOS programming myself, and I've done what you have -- hunt the web, plus buy some books. In my case, I was trying to look for good Master - Detail / UINavigationController tutorials, and I kept coming up disappointed.

It was only after I went back and poked around developer.apple.com that I found the "Your Second iOS App: Storyboards," which dealt exactly with the UINavigationController and using Master-Detail views. And what I've found is that this Apple was much better than what I managed to find through Google or my books.

So my recommendation is to go to the Apple developer site and see what they have there.

I suggest reading through some books, you don't need to be the best coder in the world all out of a sudden, but basics are nice, or you will keep hitting yourslef in the head alot afterwards.. Heck, every couple of months when I look at my code I feel the same like before, feel sad and have learned alot.

So just check out the basics and then head back for more questions
