How to connect pickerviews and labels in iOS? - ios

Question

I have two pickerView and two Label on my ViewController.
The question is how I could connect labels to pickerView's data array (string type) and show in labels chosen pickerView cell?
#IBOutlet weak var valuetype1: UILabel!
var pickerData: [String] = [String]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.picker1.delegate = self
self.picker1.dataSource = self
self.picker2.delegate = self
self.picker2.dataSource = self
pickerData = ["Годы", "Месяцы", "Недели", "Дни", "Часы", "Минуты"]
}
func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
return pickerData.count
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {
return pickerData[row]
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
valuetype1.text = pickerData[row]
valuetype2.text = pickerData[row]
}
How could you see I connected labels (valuetype(1..2)) to pickerData but it always show in both labels one String. I need to show in first label String chosen in pickerView1 and another string in second label, chosen in pickerView2.

UIPickerViewDelegate has a method called pickerView(_:didSelectRow:inComponent:). Add this method to your VC class. This method gets called whenever the user selects a row.
Your implementation should look somewhat similar to this.
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
valuetype1.text = pickerData[row]
}
For more information refer to the apple docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uipickerviewdelegate/1614371-pickerview
EDIT:
When you are using the same controller as a delegate for multiple UIPickerViews, then you can check which picker view triggered the method call simply by comparing the pickerView argument on the pickerView(_:didSelectRow:inComponent:) method.
Try this:
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
if pickerView == picker1 {
valuetype1.text = pickerData[row]
} else if pickerView == picker2 {
valuetype2.text = pickerData[row]
}
}
