Pass UIImage to Cell of another View Controller - ios

Question

I'm trying to pass the content of a UIImage() variable to the Cell of the next View Controller.
Basically my layout looks like this:
An image is loaded in ControllerA and then saved in a model.
In the next controller, a TableViewCell is loaded.
I want the picture to load inside the cell.
How do I achieve this?
My code:
First part:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
// Save the poem.
savePoem()
}
func savePoem() {
// Save the poem current completion date.
poem.date = NSDate()
// Save the theme name for the poem.
poem.theme = theme.name
// Save the currently displayed picture.
poem.image = ImageView.image
poem.words = textField.words
// Make the poem object persist.
PoemPersistence.sharedInstance.persistPoem(poem)
}
The cell loads the pic:
func configureWithPoem(poem: Poem) {
themeLabel.text = "#\(poem.theme)"
poemLabel.text = poem.words
pictureImageView.image = poem.image
}
func capturePoemImage() -> UIImage {
// Hide the share button.
shareButton.hidden = true
// Capture a PNG of the view.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(frame.size, false, 0)
layer.renderInContext(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
let containerViewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
// Show the share button.
shareButton.hidden = false
return containerViewImage
}
cell gets loaded in second controller:
func poemCellWantsToSharePoem(poemCell: PoemCell) {
// Find the poem displayed at this index path.
let indexPath = tableView.mp_indexPathForCell(poemCell)
let poem = poems[indexPath.row]
// Generate the image of the poem.
let poemImage = poemCell.capturePoemImage()

Answer 1

if you want just you use prepareForSegue() to send data to the next UIViewController
- Create the segue to next controller (control + Drag), then give the identifier a name.
Now set up your destination controller by declaring
#IBOutlet weak var imageView:UIImageView!
var image:String ?
override func viewDidLoad()
{
imageView.image = image
}
this image variable will receive data then assigned it to the #IBOutlet.
func prepareForSegue (segue:UIStoryboardSegue, sender:AnyObject?)
{
if segue.identifier == "NAMEOFSEGUEIDENTIFIER"
{
let destinationController = segue.destinationViewController as! NAMEOFTHEDESTIONCONTROLLER
let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow!
// now the data structure that contains your information, use it there
let data = dataContainer[indexPath.row]
// i noticed that you might be using struct so
// let's passed the picture from that specific row to the next conroller
destinationController.image = data.image
}
}
I hope that helps :)
