Setting up CVCalendar - ios

I'm trying to implement CVCalendar with my project. I have everything in, but at the end it asks for me to connect outlets. Here is an image of the instructions:

I have no idea what to do as I am new to swift and xcode development. Here is the link to the github page: https://github.com/CVCalendar/CVCalendar
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I assume you've extended CVCalendarMenuViewDelegate and CVCalendarViewDelegate on your ViewController and implemented the delegate methods required for CVCalendar such as presentationMode and firstWeekday.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
...
}
extension ViewController: CVCalendarMenuViewDelegate {
...
}
extension ViewController: CVCalendarViewDelegate {
func presentationMode() -> CalendarMode {
return CalendarMode.monthView
}
func firstWeekday() -> Weekday {
return Weekday.monday
}
}
The last thing to do is to connect CVCalendar's menuView and calendarView objects to this class. This means that whenever an action occurs with a calendarView or menuView object the action knows to be routed to the delegate methods of your ViewController because you've attached it as an outlet.
This can be done in InterfaceBuilder by holding the control key and dragging from the menuView and calendarView to the top of the scene and then choosing the delegate to connect to, as shown in this image.
Connecting an outlet
This can also be done programmatically in your ViewController's viewDidLoad method.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
calendarView.delegate = self
menuView.delegate = self
}

Setting delegate for CustomUiView getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS

I have created a custom UIView and have a protocol set for it. Now from the View Controller when I set the delegate to self I am getting an EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
---The View Controller Code------
class VerificationController: UIViewController, LoadingViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var instructionView: LoadingView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
instructionView.randomTextIndexes = [1]
instructionView.delegate = self
}
...
}
// "instructionView" is the UIView outlet and "LoadingView" is the class
--This is the custom View Code ------
protocol LoadingViewDelegate {
func generated(random code:String)
}
class LoadingView: UIView {
var delegate:LoadingViewDelegate?
var randomTextIndexes:[Int] = []
}
I am getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS when I try to access the delegate as well as the randomTextIndexes from the viewDidLoad() method of the view controller. Could you please tell me what I am missing here.
My best guess is that you forgot to set the class of the custom view in the Interface Builder. Check the Identity Inspector for your object in the IB, it should look like this:
If it isn't set, then that's the problem.

How to set UIView delegate?

I have an UIViewController
class WelcomeViewController: UIViewController
and an UIView
class SignUpView: UIView
Now I want to set in my WelcomeViewController delegate of SignUpView:
protocol SegueDelegate {
func runSegue(identifier: String)
}
class SignUpView: UIView { ... }
and connect it in
class WelcomeViewController: UIViewController, SegueDelegate {
how can I set in my WelcomeViiewController those delegate? When I'm trying to set:
override func viewDidLoad() {
SignUpView.delegate = self
}
it returns me
Instance member 'delegate' cannot be used on type 'SignUpView'
how can I find a solution?
You are trying to set delegate to a class. It should be an instance of the class i.e
let signUpView = SignUpView()
signUpView.delegate = self
What would be the point in doing that? If you want to navigate from one View to another, just add that Segue in Storyboard with an Identifier, so you can call self.performSegueWithIdentifier("IdentifierOfSegue", sender: self)
Create a weak property in SignUpView of that delegate(protocol) and name it other than delegate
then you can set and use it.
I agree with the developers saying "you can just do that via segue" but
the problem is you didn't declare a delegate var in the SignUpView class
so you can implement it in the signIn , if you declared it please write the line of code for me in a comment to check it
for now ...
I can suggest that you make a subview to be a parent class then override
which method you want to call
and you need to declare the delegate var as an optional (so you won't have
a memory cycle) like the following line ...
var delegate: SegueDelegate?
Let's solve this for people in need whom could need a solution when reading this issue:
In your UIView:
class SignUpView: UIView
you need to add:
var delegate : SegueDelegate?
Now, still in your class SignUpView, you need to add the function you want to delegate, just like this:
func runSegue(identifier: String) {
delegate?.runSegue(identifier)
}
This will call your delegate:
protocol SegueDelegate {
func runSegue(identifier: String)
}
Now, in your ViewController, you should have your SignUpView somewhere (created programmatically or linked through Storyboard / XIB).
In your viewDidLoadfunction, add: signUpView.delegate = self.
Don't forget to add SegueDelegatein your class heritage.

(Swift) ViewController's UI-elements can not be edited by implemented delegate method

I want to update the label in the DetailViewController everytime I selected a tableRow in the MasterViewController. To achieve this, I designed a delegate, which I have in the MasterVC
protocol TestTableViewControllerDelegate {
func selectedRow(selectedCar : Car)
}
class TestTableViewController: UITableViewController {
...
var delegate : TestTableViewControllerDelegate?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.delegate = DetailViewController()
The delegate works just fine, (it is implemented correctly in the DetailVC), it can pass values from TestTableVC to DetailVC and also correctly do println(), which prints a new Car.model String to the console every time I select a row in the TTVC.
The DetailVC looks like this (shortened):
class DetailViewController: UIViewController, TestTableViewControllerDelegate {
#IBOutlet var textLabel: UILabel!
var theCar : Car? {
didSet(newCar) {
refreshUI()
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
refreshUI()
}
func selectedRow(selectedCar : Car) {
theCar = selectedCar
refreshUI()
}
func refreshUI() {
textLabel?.text = theCar!.model
}
}
I can achieve any kind of action with my delegate, expect for refreshing the UI. I have tried numerous ways, this is my latest attempt. Before that, I tried setting the textLabel's text property directly within the delegate method, didn't work. This problem only occurs when working with the UI-elements. I know it has something to do with the view not being loaded yet, but why does my refreshUI() function not work at all?
I am still a beginner, so any tip or help would be much appreciated!
A workaround I've used is to cerate a properly in the delegate and pass the value to it instead of the UI element. When the view loads I update the label's text properly with the value of the delegates property. I would think there's a better way to do this (I'm new to programming) but this is the best soultion I've come up with so far. Will update with sample code soon.

Delegate loosing View Controller objects swift

All,
I have set up a protocol, and the view controller is the delegate of this protocol, like so :
import Foundation
protocol PayButtonProtocol {
func enablePayButton()
func disablePayButton()
}
And the view controller is the delegate :
class ViewController: UIViewController, PayButtonProtocol
The protocol functions are as follows :
func enablePayButton() {
println("Button enabled")
PAYBarButton.enabled = false
}
func disablePayButton() {
PAYBarButton.enabled = false
}
I set a class and assign the delegate :
class Trigger
{
var delegate:PayButtonProtocol?
func EnablePayButton()
{
delegate?.enablePayButton()
}
}
Then I set the trigger to run the function :
let localtrigger = Trigger()
localtrigger.delegate = ViewController()
localtrigger.EnablePayButton()
This works and the 'button enabled' is displayed in the console. But the Bar Button (PAYBarButton) is nil and it seems that the view controller has lost its hieracy as I cannot access any of the view controllers objects. The View Controller was built with interface builder. Anyone got any ideas ? Is it
localtrigger.delegate = ViewController()
that rebuilds the viewconotroller and makes the original one not accessible ? If so how do i do this ?
if you are creating the localTrigger object inside your ViewController class you can just do:
let localtrigger = Trigger()
localtrigger.delegate = self // self is an instance of ViewController
localtrigger.EnablePayButton()

Passing data between views in ONE ViewController in Swift

All of the searches I've done focus on passing data between view controllers. That's not really what I'm trying to do. I have a ViewController that has multiple Views in it. The ViewController has a slider which works fine:
var throttleSetting = Float()
#IBAction func changeThrottleSetting(sender: UISlider)
{
throttleSetting = sender.value
}
Then, in one of the Views contained in that same ViewController, I have a basic line that (for now) sets an initial value which is used later in the DrawRect portion of the code:
var RPMPointerAngle: CGFloat {
var angle: CGFloat = 2.0
return angle
}
What I want to do is have the slider's value from the ViewController be passed to the View contained in the ViewController to allow the drawRect to be dynamic.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: Sorry, when I created this answer I was having ViewControllers in mind. A much easier way would be to create a method in SomeView and talk directly to it.
Example:
class MainViewController: UIViewController {
var view1: SomeView!
var view2: SomeView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create the views here
view1 = SomeView()
view2 = SomeView()
view.addSubview(view1)
view.addSubview(view2)
}
#IBAction func someAction(sender: UIButton) {
view1.changeString("blabla")
}
}
class SomeView: UIView {
var someString: String?
func changeString(someText: String) {
someString = someText
}
}
Delegate:
First you create a protocol:
protocol NameOfDelegate: class { // ": class" isn't mandatory, but it is when you want to set the delegate property to weak
func someFunction() // this function has to be implemented in your MainViewController so it can access the properties and other methods in there
}
In your Views you have to add:
class SomeView: UIView, NameOfDelegate {
// your code
func someFunction() {
// change your slider settings
}
}
And the last step, you'll have to add a property of the delegate, so you can "talk" to it. Personally I imagine this property to be a gate of some sort, between the two classes so they can talk to each other.
class MainViewController: UIViewController {
weak var delegate: NameOfDelegate?
#IBAction func button(sender: UIButton) {
if delegate != nil {
let someString = delegate.someFunction()
}
}
}
I used a button here just to show how you could use the delegate. Just replace it with your slider to change the properties of your Views
EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention is, you'll somehow need to assign SomeView as the delegate. But like I said, I don't know how you're creating the views etc so I can't help you with that.
In the MVC model views can't communicate directly with each other.
There is always a view controller who manages the views. The views are just like the controllers minions.
All communication goes via a view controller.
If you want to react to some view changing, you can setup an IBAction. In the method you can then change your other view to which you might have an IBOutlet.
So in your example you might have an IBAction for the slider changing it's value (as in your original question) from which you could set some public properties on the view you would like to change. If necessary you could also call setNeedsDisplay() on the target view to make it redraw itself.
