Accessing Method from other Classes Objective-C

Option 1:

@implementation commonClass
+ (void)CommonMethod:(id)sender  /* note the + sign */
{
//So some awesome generic stuff...
    }
@end

@implementation ViewController2

- (void)do_something... {
    [commonClass CommonMethod];
}


@end

Option 2:

@implementation commonClass
- (void)CommonMethod:(id)sender
{
//So some awesome generic stuff...
    }
@end

@implementation ViewController2

- (void)do_something... {
    commonClass *c=[[commonClass alloc] init];
    [c CommonMethod];
    [c release];
}

@end

Option 3: use inheritance (see Mr. Totland’s description in this thread)

@implementation commonClass
- (void)CommonMethod:(id)sender
{
//So some awesome generic stuff...
    }
@end

/* in your .h file */
@interface ViewController2: commonClass

@end

naturally you always need to #import commonClass.h in your view controllers..
