Ok so i have been trying to figure out how to do this for a while but i did not seem to find way to do it. Also i would like the proper way to do this.
A server that i have is sending notifications every 30 seconds to my device. Lets say i am in ViewController B, but the data that is received by the notification is ment to be displayed/used in ViewController A.
Lets say i received two notifications while i was in ViewController B. Then i navigate to ViewController A. How would i get it to display the most recent data that was received by the notification?
You should receive the notification in a (global) 3rd object that will store them, then when the VC A is displayed you'll easily retrive them from that object... Follow the "shared instance" path used by many iOS classes (even if someone don't like it 'cause they read singletons are evil, I think this's the perfect case to use it).
You can solve it this way:
This solution keep data manager (notification handling) and presentation (the view controller) separated, I don't see any real cons...
Again, I know singletons have a bad reputation (and often people abuse of this pattern) but you know Apple's NSNotificationCenter have a +defaultCenter class method that return the shared instance (another word for singleton) so I'm quite sure this's the case to use it.
here http://www.daveoncode.com/2011/12/19/fundamental-ios-design-patterns-sharedinstance-singleton-objective-c/ you can find a good example how to implement the +sharedInstance (or +defaultCenter or whatever you want to call it) method.
Hope this help.
