Declare a method in the second UIViewController and call from the IBAction in the first controller.

Something like this:

-(IBAction)myMethodFromFirstController{

SecondController *secondController = [[SecondController alloc] init];
[secondController method];

}

I am getting an error no visible interface: -(IBAction)myMethodFromFirstController{ PhoneMainV *secondController = [[PhoneMainV alloc] init]; [secondController myMethodFromFirstController]; } – TWcode Oct 07 '12 at 15:46
I think you need to read about the basics of viewcontrollers, i recommend the big nerd ranch guide. Anyways, you can get a full tutorial from here. http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/tutorial-how-to-set-the-view-and-how-to-switch-between-2-views.191002/ – alexandresoli Oct 07 '12 at 20:41
