Why is NSArray empty at the time when UITableView Cell is selected?

I have list of file with some name of friends. I am trying to understand UITableViewNavigation . I load the list from a file but when I select a cell the Data Array at that point seems empty and I can not work out why.

At this method I get this error

 - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {

        FriendsNameViewController *newView =[[FriendsNameViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FriendsNameViewController" bundle:nil];

        [self.navigationController pushViewController:newView animated:YES];
        //Crashes here
        NSString *temp = [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        NSLog(@"%@",temp);
        [[newView labelx] setText:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@" ,temp]];
    }

If you have verified that the array is correct prior to selecting, then the first thing I would try is to rearrange your code a little bit:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {

        FriendsNameViewController *newView =[[FriendsNameViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FriendsNameViewController" bundle:nil];       
        NSString *temp = [dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        NSLog(@"%@",temp);
        [[newView labelx] setText:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@" ,temp]];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:newView animated:YES];
    }
