I don't use storyboards.
I want to send protocol data using #objc button action.
However, the sent view controller does not run the protocol function.
May I know what the reason is?
In fact, there's a lot more code.
Others work, but only protocol functions are not executed.
The didUpdataChampion function is
Data imported into a different protocol.
I have confirmed that there is no problem with this.
protocol MyProtocolData {
func protocolData(dataSent: String)
func protocolCount(dataInt: Int)
}
class PickViewController: UIViewController,ChampionManagerDelegate{
static let identifier = "PickViewController"
var count = 0
var urlArray = [URL]()
var pickDelegate : MyProtocolData?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
champions.riot(url: "myURL")
}
#objc func topHand(){
pickDelegate?.protocolData(dataSent: "top")
print(count)
pickDelegate?.protocoCount(dataInt: count)
let cham = ChampViewController()
cham.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
present(cham, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
//Data imported to another protocol
func didUpdataChampion(_ championManager: ChampionManager, champion: [ChampionRiot]) {
print(#function)
count = champion.count
for data in champion {
let id = data.id
guard let url = URL(string: "https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/11.16.1/img/champion/\(id).png") else { return }
urlArray.append(url)
count = urlArray.count
}
}
func didFailWithError(error: Error) {
print(error)
}
}
class ChampViewController: UIViewController,MyProtocolData {
var pickData = ""
var arrayCount = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
func protocolData(dataSent: String) {
print(#function)
pickData = dataSent
print(pickData)
}
func protocoCount(dataInt: Int) {
print(#function)
arrayCount = dataInt
print(arrayCount)
}
}
i don't see full code, for instance how you call bind to topHand(), my advice is:
check that topHand - is called
check that pickDelegate isn't nil inside topHand
Create Object fo your PickViewController class and set its delegate to self.
var yourObj = PickViewController()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
yourObj.delegate = self
}

well, im using 2 VCs, one with a textField where the user inputs the CityName, and another VC where it takes care of all the UI elements(like the temp, cityname, etc..), now I use also a NetWorkManager to take care of all the networking&JSON stuff.
the problem is im trying to transfer the data from the NetWorkManager to VC1 but for some reason the delegate aint working :( - basically the road should be like this : VC2 -> NetWorkManager -> VC1.
Here's my Code:
import Foundation
protocol NetworkManagerDelegate {
func didUpdateWeather(weather: WeatherModel)
}
struct NetworkManager {
let weatherURL = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?appid=2da9980c9a43e21c2cdb1f28316d151d&units=metric"
var delegate: NetworkManagerDelegate?
func fetchWeather(cityName: String) {
let urlString = "\(weatherURL)&q=\(cityName)"
performRequest(urlString: urlString)
}
func performRequest(urlString: String) {
if let url = URL(string: urlString) {
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let task = session.dataTask(with: url) { (data, respone, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
}
if let safeData = data {
if let weather = self.parseJSON(weatherData: safeData) {
print("Im not nil")
self.delegate?.didUpdateWeather(weather: weather)
}
}
}
task.resume()
}
}
func parseJSON(weatherData: Data) -> WeatherModel? {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
let decodedData = try decoder.decode(WeatherDataModel.self, from: weatherData)
let id = decodedData.weather[0].id
let cityName = decodedData.name
let temp = decodedData.main.temp
let weather = WeatherModel(conditionId: id, cityName: cityName ,temperatrue: temp)
print("Temp is: \(weather.temperatrueString)")
return weather
} catch {
print(error)
return nil
}
}
}
VC2:
import UIKit
import Foundation
class WeatherByCityController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
// func didUpdateWeather(weather: WeatherModel) {
// print("Hi")
// }
//
#IBOutlet weak var cityTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var updateWeatherBtn: UIButton!
var netWorkManager = NetworkManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// netWorkManager.delegate = self
cityTextField.delegate = self
}
#IBAction func closeButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
#IBAction func updateWeatherByCityTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
//Calling delegate to update the City:
//Dismiss the VC:
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
cityTextField.endEditing(true)
return true
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
if let city = cityTextField.text {
netWorkManager.fetchWeather(cityName: city)
}
cityTextField.text = ""
}
}
VC1:
import UIKit
import Foundation
import CoreLocation
class WeatherScreen: UIViewController,NetworkManagerDelegate {
//Objects outlets:
#IBOutlet weak var conditionIcon: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var tempLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var cityLabel: UILabel!
//TableView Outlet:
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
#IBOutlet weak var segeControl: UISegmentedControl!
var models = [DailyWeatherEntry]()
var hourlyModels = [HourlyWeatherEntry]()
var netWorkManager = NetworkManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
netWorkManager.delegate = self
tableView.register(HourlyTableViewCell.nib(), forCellReuseIdentifier: HourlyTableViewCell.identifier)
tableView.dataSource = self
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
// Load things once the view will appear
}
#IBAction func locationBtnTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
//Asking the user for a permission for using his location:
}
func didUpdateWeather(weather: WeatherModel) {
print("Hi")
}
}
extension WeatherScreen: UITableViewDataSource {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 2
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
//creating the cell:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "weatherCell", for: indexPath) as! HourlyTableViewCell
//Cell Configure:
cell.textLabel!.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 10)
return cell
}
}
Where is the code for the VC1 ? Without the code for VC 1 it is hard to give an answer. However i'll try to answer as this might be the scenario.
So basically what you are trying to do is make a network call from the VC2 and whatever the response it should be updated in VC1 which is already active somewhere else. Here you just have to set the delegate of the NetworkManger to the VC1 instance. So you have to get the instance of VC1 in VC2.
var netWorkManager = NetworkManager()
//Get this instance in your code
var vc1: UIViewController!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Here you will be setting the delegate
// to VC1 where you will be having the delegate methods
netWorkManager.delegate = vc1
cityTextField.delegate = self
}
While this method works I would not recommend using the network manager in such a way. Try to use completion handlers instead of delegates to get the data and then pass that values between the view controllers.
Edited:
Pass completion like this in the Network Manager performRequest function.
func performRequest(urlString: String, completion: #escaping (Bool, String?, Error?) -> Void) {
guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else {
completion(false, nil, NSError(domain: "URLString is not a valid URL", code: 100, userInfo: nil))
return
}
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let task = session.dataTask(with: url) { (data, respone, error) in
guard let safeData = data, let weather = self.parseJSON(weatherData: safeData) else {
print("Empty data or JSON parse error")
completion(false, nil, error)
}
print("Im not nil")
completion(true, weather, nil)
}
task.resume()
}
And call the api request in the VC2.
#IBAction func updateWeatherByCityTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
//Calling the api request. Pass your url string here
self. netWorkManager.performRequest(urlString: "") { (success, weather, error) in
guard success else {
print(error as Any)
return
}
// Here you have got the weather data.
// Don't know what is weather model. so simply passing the weather string.
self.delegate.didUpdateWeather(weather: weather)
//Dismiss the VC:
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
Here adopt the NetworkManagerDelegate to VC1 and before presenting the VC2 set the delegate to VC1. Or if you are not presenting the VC2 from VC1 then use UserNotifications to send the weather data to the VC1.
This line of code var netWorkManager = NetworkManager() creates a new instance of network manager each time it is invoked.
In your case, the network manager in VC1 will not get called when the network manager you created in VC2 receives a network response. They are two separate entities.
There a few things you can think about:
If I understand your scenario correctly, your VC2 is used to get a city name from the user. Does VC2 really need to make a network call? You could restrict VC2 to only fetch the city name.
Make the networkManager a singleton. You can then call it from multiple places in your code. The networkManger can have method to 'fetch' and it can take in a completionHandler (as #Raja Vijaya kumar) had suggested.
I have two ViewControllers and I'm trying to set one as the other's delegate. This is what I have:
ViewController One:
protocol storeChosenDelegate {
func getPopularProductsFor(store id: String)
}
class PopularStoresVC: UIViewController {
//MARK: - Properties
var delegate: storeChosenDelegate?
private let storesView = PopularStoresView()
private let STORE_CELL = "storeCell"
fileprivate var currentStore: Int = 0 {
didSet {
delegate?.getPopularProductsFor(store: "THIS IS WORKING NOW.")
}
}
}
And this is what I have in ViewController Two:
//MARK: - Properties
private let PRODUCT_CELL = "productCell"
private var popularStores = PopularStoresVC()
//MARK: - Initializers
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
popularStores.delegate = self
setupProductsCollection()
}
extension PopularProductsVC: storeChosenDelegate {
func getPopularProductsFor(store id: String) {
//TODO: Show all popular products for the store's id we got.
print("Got store \(id)")
}
}
It seems that the didSet is getting called, and I do set the Second VC as the delegate, but the function just does not getting called. I have no errors or warnings related to that so I don't really understand why this is not working.
I'm trying to print the chat array that is declared as a empty global variable in a table. The data that I'm trying to print is received using web sockets. I'm assigning the data in the messageReceived function, and I know that the data is getting to the program because I'm printing in a label, but the moment that I'm trying to print it in the table is simple not working. All of this is in the ViewController.swift:
import UIKit
import Starscream
var messagetext: String = ""
var tabletext: String = ""
var chat = [String] ()
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UITextFieldDelegate {
var socket = WebSocket(url: URL(string: "ws://localhost:1337/")!, protocols: ["chat"])
#IBOutlet weak var chatMessage: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
#IBAction func buttonClick(_ sender: Any) {
messagetext = textField.text!
sendMessage(messagetext)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.textField.delegate = self
socket.delegate = self
socket.connect()
navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
self.view.endEditing(true)
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
return (true)
}
deinit{
socket.disconnect(forceTimeout: 0)
socket.delegate = nil
}
}
// MARK: - FilePrivate
fileprivate extension ViewController {
func sendMessage(_ messager: String) {
socket.write(string: messager)
}
func messageReceived(_ message: String) {
chatMessage.text = message
chat.append(message)
}
}
// MARK: - WebSocketDelegate
extension ViewController : WebSocketDelegate {
public func websocketDidConnect(_ socket: Starscream.WebSocket) {
}
public func websocketDidDisconnect(_ socket: Starscream.WebSocket, error: NSError?) {
performSegue(withIdentifier: "websocketDisconnected", sender: self)
}
public func websocketDidReceiveMessage(_ socket: Starscream.WebSocket, text: String) {
// 1
guard let data = text.data(using: .utf16),
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data),
let jsonDict = jsonData as? [String: Any],
let messageType = jsonDict["type"] as? String else {
return
}
// 2
if messageType == "message",
let messageData = jsonDict["data"] as? [String: Any],
let messageText = messageData["text"] as? String {
messageReceived(messageText)
}
}
public func websocketDidReceiveData(_ socket: Starscream.WebSocket, data: Data) {
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return(chat.count)
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.default, reuseIdentifier: "cell")
cell.textLabel?.text = chat[indexPath.row] as! String
return(cell)
}
}
Assuming that you are sure about there is data to be received by your view controller, The issue would be: the tableview data source methods are called before receiving any data, which means chat data source array is still empty, thus there is no data to display.
The solution for your case is to make sure to reload the tableview after receiving data (updating the value of chat data source array), which means in your case after appending a message to chat in messageReceived method by calling reloadData() UITableView instance method:
func messageReceived(_ message: String) {
chatMessage.text = message
chat.append(message)
// here we go:
tableView.reloadData()
}
In your message received handler, issue a tableview.reloadData()
Cheers!
You need to tell the tableview that there is new data. You also need to allow for the fact that the network operation probably occurred on a background queue and UI updates must be on the main queue:
func messageReceived(_ message: String) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let newRow = IndexPath(row: chat.count, section:0)
chatMessage.text = message
chat.append(message)
tableView.insertRows(at:[newRow],with: .automatic)
}
}
I want to improve the MPCRevisited project which is Chat app that using multi peer method. I'm using BLE to connect one device to another device (iPad and iPod) and send and receive the data. However, when I press home button to make background mode on one device, after 5 seconds, I can't send or receive the data.

I've already check all the thing in background modes, but still its not working at all.

Please help me if someone knows this problem. What I want to do is one device to keep sending the message and other device to become background and foreground back and forth.
Thank you.
Looking at some other StackOverflow posts (here and here), it seems like the Multipeer Connectivity Framework is not built to function in the background and your functionality will disappear after a couple minutes.
Bluetooth will function in the background, with the capabilities that you checked, but you will have to create your own messaging platform; even though Multipeer relies partially on Bluetooth, the capabilities are separate entities.
I would like to have an autocomplete textfield that autocompletes locations for me like the one for android:
https://developers.google.com/places/training/autocomplete-android
Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for this or an example?
Thanks!

Lightweight Solution!
Instead of using Google framework and Third party library to make simple requests I created a simple library where you can Make a number of Google api requests like Google Autocomplete, Google ReverseGeo , Place Information and Path api for getting path between two location.
To use the library all you have to do is
step-1 Import GoogleApiHelper into your project.
step-2 Initialise GoogleApiHelper
GoogleApi.shared.initialiseWithKey("API_KEY")
step-3 Call the methods
var input = GInput()
input.keyword = "San francisco"
GoogleApi.shared.callApi(input: input) { (response) in
if let results = response.data as? [GApiResponse.Autocomplete], response.isValidFor(.autocomplete) {
//Enjoy the Autocomplete Api
} else { print(response.error ?? "ERROR") }
}
You can find the library here
Using Alamofire get the autocomplete Google places result from data, you can show it in table view cell
