iOS - Calling App Delegate method from ViewController

Question

What I am trying to do is click a button  that was created in code  and have it call up a different view controller then have it run a function in the new view controller   I know it could be done relatively easily in IB but that isn t an option   An example of what I want to do would be if you had two view controllers one with a splash screen of house  The other view controller had a walk through of the house on it that you could go through all the rooms in a set order  The splash screen would have buttons for each room that would allow you to jump to any point on the walk through

A lot of good answers are already added  Though I want to add something which suits me most of the time    define kAppDelegate   YourAppDelegate     UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate      and thats it  Use it throughout the application just like a constant   e g    kAppDelegate methodName     Don t forget to import yourAppDelegate h in corresponding  pch or macros file

Even if technically feasible  is NOT a good approach  When You say   The splash screen would have buttons for each room that would allow you to jump to any point on the walk through   So you want to pass through appdelegate to call these controllers via tohc events on buttons   This approach does not follow Apple guidelines and has a lot of drawbacks

NSObject  lt UIApplicationDelegate gt    universalAppDelegate          NSObject  lt UIApplicationDelegate gt          UIApplication sharedApplication   delegate      It avoid having to include your AppDelegate h everywhere   It s a simple cast that goes a long way  allowing to develop independent Controller and reuse them elsewhere without to worry about class name and so on     Enjoy

Sounds like you just need a UINavigationController setup   You can get the AppDelegate anywhere in the program via  YourAppDelegateName  blah    YourAppDelegateName    UIApplication sharedApplication delegate     In your app delegate you should have your navigation controller setup  either via IB or in code     In code  assuming you ve created your  House overview  viewcontroller already it would be something like this in your AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions     self m window      UIWindow alloc initWithFrame   UIScreen mainScreen bounds  autorelease   self m navigationController      UINavigationController alloc initWithRootViewController homeViewController autorelease    m window addSubview self m navigationController view     After this you just need a viewcontroller per  room  and invoke the following when a button click event is picked up     YourAppDelegateName  blah    YourAppDelegateName    UIApplication sharedApplication delegate    blah m navigationController pushViewController newRoomViewController animated YES     I ve not tested the above code so forgive any syntax errors but hope the pseudo code is of help
