I have a strange issue. I register and unregister my Notification like so:
func doRegisterNotificationListener() {
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Notification.Name(rawValue: "RateAlertRated"), object: nil, queue: nil, using: rateDidRate)
}
func doUnregisterNotificationListener() {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: Notification.Name(rawValue: "RateAlertRated"), object: nil)
}
func rateDidRate(notification: Notification) {
let rating = notification.userInfo?["score"] as? Int
let message = notification.userInfo?["message"] as? String
let response = Response(rating: rating, message: message)
output.presentRated(response)
}
This view controller is in a UITabBarController. doRegisterNotificationListener is called in viewDidAppear and doUnregisterNotificationListener is called in viewDidDisappear. When I switch between tabs the register and unregister methods are being called correctly (I tested using a print statement). However if I fire a notification it will still be received even though doUnregisterNotificationListener was called last. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here?
Quick note:
Also tried:
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
This also doesn't work.
I have tested your code and once i register observer with this type it is not called when you doUnregister it. please try this.
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(rateDidRate(notification:)), name: Notification.Name(rawValue: "RateAlertRated"), object: nil)
If you are working with addObserver(forName:object:queue:using:) you should remove it in this way:
Create:
let center = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter()
let mainQueue = NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()
self.localeChangeObserver = center.addObserverForName(NSCurrentLocaleDidChangeNotification, object: nil, queue: mainQueue) { (note) in
print("The user's locale changed to: \(NSLocale.currentLocale().localeIdentifier)")
}
Remove:
center.removeObserver(self.localeChangeObserver)
This approach is taken from the documentation.

For my code base, I have 3 functions and 3 dispatch groups (dg)
so when the 1st function is done, dg1's notify method is called and it calls func 2, and once that is done, dg2's notify method is called and func 3 is called once that is finished dg3's notify is called, I have my data and I use it for further processing.
All the above logic is in another file
I want to pass the data is of func 3, available in dg3's notify-execute method to my vc. I employed the notification center for this method. Using the following:
let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]
// post a notification
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict)
// `default` is now a property, not a method call
// Register to receive notification in your class
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)
// handle notification
// For swift 4.0 and above put #objc attribute in front of function Definition
func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {
if let image = notification.userInfo?["image"] as? UIImage {
// do something with your image
}
}
However I never get the notification. How do I resolve this problem. I want to pass the data from the dispatch group elsewhere -in this case my VC.
How can I send messages between disparate components in iOS?
i.e. How does one do this using iOS...?
MessagingCenter.Send<object>(this, "LoggedIn");
That's NotificationCenter
To use it, define your notification, register an observer, and finally post the notification, e.g.
let loggedIn = Notification.Name("LoggedIn")
let nc = NotificationCenter.default
nc.addObserver(forName: .loggedIn, object: nil, queue: nil) { _ in
// handle loggedIn notification
}
// ... elsewhere: post
nc.post(name: .loggedIn, object: nil)
In the server side I use socket.io library to send some JS object data type through, upon users typing in their devices:
var typingUsers = {};
clientSocket.on("startType", function(clientNickname){
typingUsers[clientNickname] = 1;
io.emit("userTypingUpdate", typingUsers);
});
when the app receives data, it will post notification:
private func listenForOtherMessages() {
socket.on("userTypingUpdate") { (dataArray, socketAck) -> Void in
NotificationCenter.default.post(name:NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "userTypingNotification"), object: dataArray[0] as! [String: AnyObject])
}
}
And then the notification is added to a view controller as an observer:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("handleDisconnectedUserUpdateNotification:")), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "userWasDisconnectedNotification"), object: nil)
This implementation always throw an error "unrecognised selector send to ..."
But the following implementation without a selector works ok:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName:NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "userTypingNotification"), object: nil, queue: nil){ object in
print(object)
}
It seems like I cannot add an selector to the observer, I think the problems might lie in the object data type, but I cannot really figure out why..
found the answer:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.userTypingNotification), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "userWasDisconnectedNotification"), object: nil)
older post
I would like to access the Notification object that is sent from the method below.
var currentTrack:MPMediaItem? {
get{
return playlist?.items[index]
}
set{
print(newValue?.title!)
//self.index = locateIndex(track: newValue!)
let notif = Notification.init(name: Playlist.SongChangedName, object:self)
NotificationCenter.default.post(notif)
}
}
The Notifications name is defined as:
static let SongChangedName = Notification.Name("SongChangedNotification")
Here is the observer:
override init() {
super.init()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(testSelector),
name: Playlist.SongChangedName, //Notification.Name("songChanged"),
object: nil)
}
Here is the Method it calls:
func testSelector(notification:Notification){
queueNextTrack()
}
How do I pass testSelector a notification object? I know it has something to do with the object parameter of the addObserver method.
Thank you.
You can now get rid of your problem entirely by not using selectors in your notifications, timers, etc. There are new block based API to replace target-selector such as
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Playlist.SongChangedName, object: nil, queue: nil, using: { notification in
self.testSelector(testSelector)
})
For the most part you won't need access to the notifications in your blocks so you could do this too
func testSelector(){
queueNextTrack()
}
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Playlist.SongChangedName, object: nil, queue: nil) { _ in
self.testSelector()
}
or most my preferred in most scenarios:
override init() {
super.init()
let testBlock: (Notification) -> Void = {
self.queueNextTrack()
}
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Playlist.SongChangedName, object: nil, queue: nil, using: testBlock)
}
EDIT I'd also suggest you take a look at the sample code in the description for this API
I use Core Spotlight, and I use UIPageController as RootViewController and several UIViewControllers. Every controller has UIView I drawing a circle of information in there. When I slide between controllers and open new controller I sent NSNotification from current UIViewController to current UIView which is located on current UIViewController. I sent NSNotification that so turn on NSTimer in UIView for updating of information. It works is fine when I just open the app. My problem is when I find infromation from the app in spotlight search and open needed controller from spotlight search NSNotification doesn't sent. I tried several different methods and I cannot to find how I can to make it. Please tell me how can I make it?
UPDATE I also tried singleton pattern for NSNotificationCenter but it also didn't help me.
UPDATE I tried write Selector as notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(turnOnMemoryTimer()), name: "turnOnMemoryArc", object: nil)
and it works when I launch app from spotlight search but it doesn't work when I just launch the app. For any help on this matter thanks!
I also tried to send notification from AppDelegate but it also didn't work
switch startIndex {
case 1:
notificatioCenter.postNotificationName("turnOnCPUTimer", object: nil)
default: break
}
UIViewController
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(true)
if GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.controllerTimer != nil {
GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.controllerTimer.invalidate()
GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.viewTimer.invalidate()
}
GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.controllerTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1.0, target: self, selector: "showMemory", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
// notifications
notificationCenter.postNotificationName("turnOnMemoryArc", object: nil) // this message doesn't sent
if UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad {
notificationCenter.postNotificationName("checkMemoryOrientation", object: nil)
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: "changeMemoryOrientation", name: UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
}
}
UIView
// MARK: - var and let
var arc = Arc()
let notificationCenter = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter()
var boolForMemoryArc = false
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
if boolForMemoryArc == false {
drawMemoryArc()
boolForMemoryArc = true
}
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: "turnOnMemoryTimer", name: "turnOnMemoryArc", object: nil)
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: "changedMemoryOrientation", name: "checkMemoryOrientation", object: nil)
}
func turnOnMemoryTimer() {
if GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.viewTimer != nil {
GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.viewTimer.invalidate()
}
GlobalTimer.sharedInstance.viewTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1.0, target: self, selector: "drawMemoryArc", userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
I had a similiar issue and solved it like this:
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: "turnOnMemoryTimer:", name: "turnOnMemoryArc", object: nil)
Receive AnyObject:
func turnOnMemoryTimer(notification: AnyObject) {
}
This needed change happened "spontaneous" the normal code was working for months.
I think you need to add the NSNotification as parameter to the function you're calling. So, two tweeks:
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: "turnOnMemoryTimer:", name: "turnOnMemoryArc", object: nil)
and
func turnOnMemoryTimer(notification: NSNotification) {
// function body
}
