MFSideMenu Delegate Method not called from HomeViewController Class - ios

Question

I had Implemented MFSideMenu in my Application to display left side slide in-out menu.Now I would like to recognise swipe in and swipe out (i.e. Sidemenu open or closed status)by creating delegate method in ThirdParty class MFSideMenuContainerViewController.h as
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "MFSideMenuShadow.h"
#class MFSideMenuContainerViewController;
#protocol MFSideMenuContainerViewControllerViewDelegate <NSObject> //define delegate protocol
- (void)swipedLeftSidemenu:(BOOL)isOpen; //define delegate method to be implemented within another class
#end //end protocol
#interface MFSideMenuContainerViewController : UIViewController<UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>
//custom delegate property
#property (nonatomic, weak) id <MFSideMenuContainerViewControllerViewDelegate> delegate1;
#end
and then call delegate method from below method of MFSideMenuContainerViewController.m
- (void)openLeftSideMenuCompletion:(void (^)(void))completion
{
if(!self.leftMenuViewController) return;
//call as below
[self.delegate1 swipedLeftSidemenu:YES];
//below is default thirdparty implementation
[self.menuContainerView bringSubviewToFront:[self.leftMenuViewController view]];
[self setCenterViewControllerOffset:self.leftMenuWidth animated:YES completion:completion];
}
Delegate method used in another viewcontroller class to detect side menu is open or closed for that I had implemented below code
in DemoViewController.h file
#import "MFSideMenuContainerViewController.h"
#interface DemoViewController : UIViewController <ContactViewDelegate,MFSideMenuContainerViewControllerViewDelegate>
in DemoViewController.m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
MFSideMenuContainerViewController *vc2 = [[MFSideMenuContainerViewController alloc] init];
vc2.delegate1 = self;
}
//DelegateMethod Implementation
-(void)swipedLeftSidemenu:(BOOL)isOpen
{
if(isOpen)
{
// code is here if side menu is open by swiping right
}
else
{
// code is here if side menu is closed by swiping left
}
}
Now I having issue is above method in DemoViewController.m file is never called although sidemenu can be swiped left or right.Can any one guide how I can detect side menu is open or close from DemoViewController class? Or Why this method is never called ?
My appdelegate.m files having below code only
#interface AppDelegate ()
#end
#implementation AppDelegate
- (DemoViewController *)demoController
{
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
DemoViewController *demoController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DemoViewController"];
return demoController;
}
- (UINavigationController *)navigationController
{
return [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:[self demoController]];
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
SideMenuViewController *leftMenuViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SideMenuViewController"];
MFSideMenuContainerViewController *container = [MFSideMenuContainerViewController
containerWithCenterViewController:[self navigationController]
leftMenuViewController:leftMenuViewController
rightMenuViewController:nil];
self.window.rootViewController = container;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}

Answer 1

Update your code In your AppDelegate.h file
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property(strong,nonatomic)ViewController *viewController;
#property(strong,nonatomic)LeftSideViewController *leftSideViewController;
#property(strong,nonatomic)MFSideMenuContainerViewController *container;
#property(strong,nonatomic)UINavigationController *navigationController;
#end
and in your AppDelegate.m file update your code
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.container = [MFSideMenuContainerViewController containerWithCenterViewController:self.navigationController leftMenuViewController:_leftSideViewController rightMenuViewController:nil];
self.window setRootViewController:_container];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}

Instead of delegate method I had replaced it with NotoficationCenter Observer method and that code is as below :
STEP-1
in ThirdParty class MFSideMenuContainerViewController.m as
- (void)openLeftSideMenuCompletion:(void (^)(void))completion
{
if(!self.leftMenuViewController) return;
NSDictionary* userInfo = #{#"isOpen": #"1"};
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"swipeClassDelegateMethod" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
//below is default thirdparty implementation
[self.menuContainerView bringSubviewToFront:[self.leftMenuViewController view]];
[self setCenterViewControllerOffset:self.leftMenuWidth animated:YES completion:completion];
}
STEP-2 : then I called below code from my DemoViewController.m file viewDidLoad method
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(swipeClassDelegateMethod:)name:#"swipeClassDelegateMethod" object:nil];
STEP-3 : Finally I implemented this function with necessary code as below in same DemoViewController.m class
-(void)swipeClassDelegateMethod:(NSNotification*)notification
{
}
