Changing the text in a UITextView at runtime.

Question

I have a ViewController consisting of just a textView. In its viewDidLoad method, I simply initialize the textView and add it as a subview. In my main ViewController class, when the user presses a button, I switch views and display the view that has the textView. I am trying to change the textView's text however it is not working. Can I not change the text of a UITextView at runtime?

Thanks.

You should keep a reference to your text view.

If you do, then make sure that the reference is correct and valid before setting the new text.
