How to set default text at UITextField in iOS

Question

Following is my code:

- (void)getAge:(NSString *)age getGender:(NSString *)gender  getLocation:(NSString *)location getPrefAge1:(NSString *)age1 getPrefAge2:(NSString *)age2 getPrefGender:(NSString *)prefGender getPrefLocation:(NSString *)prefLocation getImage:(UIImage *)image
{
    self.textFieldAge.text=age;
    self.textFieldGender.text=gender;
    self.textFieldLocation.text=location;
    self.textFieldPrefGender.text=prefGender;
    self.textFieldPrefAge1.text=age1;
    self.textFieldPrefAge2.text=age2;
    self.textFieldPrefLocation.text=prefLocation;

    self.imageProfilePic.image=image;
}

I get these value from another viewController I want to set these textFields with the above values. Can anyone help? I am new to iOS.

This the method where I am calling the above method :

-(IBAction)editpro:(id)sender
{
    ProfileEditViewController *profileEdit= [[ProfileEditViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ProfileEditViewController" bundle:nil];

    [profileEdit getAge:_labelAge.text getGender:_labelGender.text  getLocation:_labelLocation.text getPrefAge1:_labelPrefAge1.text getPrefAge2:_labelPrefAge2.text getPrefGender:_labelPrefGender.text getPrefLocation:_labelPrefLocation.text getImage:self.profilepic.image ];
    NSLog(@"Gender :%@",_labelGender.text);

    [profileEdit.saveProfile setHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:profileEdit animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Answer 1

Your code should work if:

• Text fields are hooked up in Interface Builder or correctly initialized programmatically.
• You set those properties in the main thread.

Answer 2

You should check the following things, your code will not work if one of these is the case or can be all too :

• Text fields should be linked to their IBoutlets , that is self.textFieldAge should not be nil .
• Also, the object or view controller you are calling this function of getAge , check if that object is not nil .
