    - (IBAction)placeorder:(id)sender
         {
            NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

            [userDefaults setObject:global.filteredArray forKey:@"def_orderarraylist"];

            NSMutableArray *qualifiersArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[userDefaults objectForKey:@"def_orderarraylist"]];

        NSLog(@"qualifier array=%@",qualifiersArray);

        [userDefaults synchronize];

        }

Answer 1

You must declare your array on class rather than on your method and you'll be fine.

You could do something like:

-(void)viewDidLoad{
    array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}

OR

Use a NSUserDefaults and it will stay until the app is deleted.

If you have two screens you could simply pass the array reference to your second screen if you want to edit your array from there.

FirstViewController:

Setup your array:

SecondViewController *svc= [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"secondviewcontroller" bundle:nil];
svc.firstViewArray=secondViewArray;

SecondViewController:

@property(nonatomic,retain)NSMutableArray *secondViewArray;

I can see you are using global array to store data to NSUserDefaults. While doing this you need to make sure this points:

1. First thing you need to do is while Adding data to global array, First take previous data from NSUserDefaults & add it to global array.
2. You need to make sure every time while you add new data to global array you have added previous data to global array from NSUserDefaults
3. One more thing you need to make sure it global array should be NSMutable array & while you initialize this array, after that Add previous values from NSUserDefaults in it.

Hope it will help you.
