How to call a controller from a modal popover in Swift? - ios

Question

I have three controllers, and i need this navigation:
| 1stVC | -> | popoverVC | -> | 2ndVC |
The first one show a modal view using a popover segue, and then from the modal view, using a protocol, it should show the second controller.
The protocol calls the method, and then, it should call the second controller, but it doesn't!. I have tried performing segue, and calling the controller but nothing happens, in fact, it reloads the first controller instead call the second. Please help. I think that i must have errors in delegation, but i can't figure what.(poor english, i know)
One important thing, the firstViewcontroller is called from another controller that is in a tabbarcontoller.
Thanks in advance.
This is the code:
PopoOverController:
import UIKit
protocol basketDelegate {
func didSelectValue()
}
class PopoverViewController: UITableViewController {
var delegate: basketDelegate!
let options = ["Filters", "Basket"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier")
let rdc = storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("FirstViewController") as! FirstViewController
self.delegate = rdc
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
return options.count
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("reuseIdentifier", forIndexPath: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.textAlignment = .Center
cell.textLabel?.textColor = colorWithHexString("#1C7393")
cell.textLabel?.text = options[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
delegate?.didSelectValue()
}
}
FirstController
import UIKit
class FirstViewController: AEAccordionTableViewController,
UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate, UISearchBarDelegate,basketDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var Filters = PopoverViewController()
Filters.delegate = self
}
// MARK: - Popup filter call
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "popoverSegue" {
let popoverViewController = segue.destinationViewController as UIViewController
popoverViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.Popover
popoverViewController.popoverPresentationController!.delegate = self
}
}
func adaptivePresentationStyleForPresentationController(controller: UIPresentationController) -> UIModalPresentationStyle {
return UIModalPresentationStyle.None
}
func didSelectValue() {
//Option 1--Failed!
let storyboard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil);
let SecondViewControllerObject : UIViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SecondViewController") as! SecondViewController;
self.presentViewController(SecondViewControllerObject, animated: true, completion: nil);
//Option 2--Failed
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("secondSegue", sender: self)
//Option 3--Failed
let storyboard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let SecondViewControllerObject : UIViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SecondViewController") as! SecondViewController;
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: SecondViewControllerObject)
self.presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
//Option 4--Failed
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SecondViewController") as! SecondViewController
FirstViewController()!.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
//Option 5--Failed
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(vc, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
}
SecondController
import UIKit
class SecondViewController: AEAccordionTableViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var dismissButton: UIButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
#IBAction func dismissTap(sender: UIButton) {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}

Answer 1

Your first view controller should be a PopoverViewControllerDelegate, not a basketDelegate.

Answer 2

This behavior can be reached with an Action Sheet. Just in the First Controller add a new method to create a Contextual Menu with the same option to call the second controller. This method is called from a button.
Is a simple solution, without protocols or delegations.
In the first controller:
#IBAction func showSheetASction(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
print("click")
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .ActionSheet)
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel) { (action) in
print(action)
}
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
let CallSVCAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Filters", style: .Default) { (action) in
// ...
print(action)
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SecondViewController") as! SecondViewController
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
alertController.addAction(CallSVCAction)
alertController.view.tintColor = colorWithHexString("#1C7393")
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true) {
}
}
