I want to make such thing:
On one ViewControleer I'm making a query to Parse.com, where I'm sending objects fields to Label.Text. By clicking one button objects randomly changes, by clicking another one- next ViewController is opening. Just imagine Tinder - on the first VC I swiping girls, on the new one chat is opening, with the girl's name in the head of the NavigatorItem
So I want to send Object Field "Name" that I'm using in that view to another without other query.
I don't know, whether I can do it via segue, or protocol. Can U somehow help me with implementation?
here is the code of my random function
func retriveJobData() {
var query: PFQuery = PFQuery(className: "Jobs")
query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId("AUeuvj0zk2") {
(newJobObject: PFObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil && newJobObject != nil {
println(newJobObject)
if let newJobObject = newJobObject {
self.PrcieTextField.text = newJobObject["jobPrice"] as? String
self.DateTextField.text = newJobObject["jobDate"] as? String
self.DescriptionTextField.text = newJobObject["jobDescription"] as? String
}
} else {
println(error)
}
}
}
I want to send newJobObject["jobName"] to NavigatorItemName of another ViewController
you can override prepareForSegue for this purpose:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue!, sender: AnyObject!) {
if (segue.identifier == "yourSegueIdentifier") {
// pass data to next view
}
}
Assuming you have some method that triggers a push to the new viewController and that you're using the storyboard, call performSegue using the identifier you set up in the storyboard
#IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: UIButton!) {
performSegueWithIdentifier("identifier", sender: nil)
}
Then override prepareForSegue and pass in the string
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "identifier" {
let controller = segue.destinationViewController as! ViewController
controller.jobName = someWayThatYouRetrieveNewJobObjectName
}
Then in ViewController ensure you have a property for jobName
var jobName:String! //declare this as an optional instead if needed
And set the navigation title
navigationItem.title = jobName

Please check the below code:
#IBAction func sendActivationCode(_ sender: UIButton) {
service.Register(phoneNumber: self.mobileNumberTxt.text!, callback: { (response) in
self.setCustomerValues(response: response)
})
}
func setCustomerValues(response: [String:Any]) {
registrationToken = (response["token"]! as! String)
code = response["code"] as! Int
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == "toStep2" {
let vc = segue.destination as! Step2ViewController
vc.registrationToken = registrationToken
}
}
The problem is: prepare function is executed before setCustomerValues and I cannot use registrationToken variable in Step2ViewController.swift because it's nil.
Instead of connecting your segue from the button to Step2ViewController, connect it from the view controller. This way the segue will not automatically be performed when the button is touched.
Then call performSegue from within your setCustomerValues callback to perform the segue explicitly after getting the registration token. Note that if the callback is not on the main thread, you will need to dispatch_async to the main thread before calling performSegue.
You should push viewcontroller after self.setCustomerValues(response: response). Don't push viewcontroller when sendActivationCode
The best way to come out of this problem is to create an IBAction method from your button on a Touch Up Inside Event and not create any Segues on 'action' of your button.
Use the following code:
#IBAction func sendActivationCode(_ sender: UIButton) {
service.Register(phoneNumber: self.mobileNumberTxt.text!, callback: {
(response) in
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("Step2ViewController") as! Step2ViewController
vc.registrationToken = (response["token"]! as! String)
vc.code = response["code"] as! Int
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc!, animated: true)
})
}
I have a MapViewController with a prepareForSegue(_:sender:)method, which I intend to use to send data to LandmarkTableViewController, and is called when a button is pressed.
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let destinationvc = segue.destinationViewController
if let landmarkvc = destinationvc as? LandmarkTableViewController {
if let identifier = segue.identifier {
let library = Landmark(name: "Run Run Shaw Library", properties: ["Chinese Kanji", "Gray", "Green Plants"])
let bank = Landmark(name: "Hang Seng Bank", properties: ["Chinese Kanji", "Green"])
switch identifier {
case "showLibrary" : landmarkvc.passedLandmark = library // pass data to LandmarkTableViewController
case "showBank" : landmarkvc.passedLandmark = bank // pass data to LandmarkTableViewController
default : break
}
}
}
}
The LandmarkTableViewController is properly set up to display the String array properties, with one String on each row. So what I intend to do is pass the appropriate data for the table to properties according to which button was pressed, and let LandmarkTableViewController display the corresponding properties.
class LandmarkTableViewController: UITableViewController {
var properties = [String]()
var passedLandmark = Landmark(name: "temp", properties: ["temp"]) // initially set to default value
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
loadSampleProperties()
}
func loadSampleProperties() {
self.properties = passedLandmark!.properties
}
// other methods....
}
class Landmark {
var name: String
var properties: [String]
init?(name: String, properties: [String]) {
self.name = name
self.properties = properties
// Initialization should fail if there is no name or if there is no property.
if name.isEmpty || properties.isEmpty {
return nil
}
}
However, when I run the code, only temp is displayed in the table view. I've been stuck on this for a long time now, so any help is much appreciated!
Edit: loadData() inside of viewDidLoad() is changed to the correct loadSampleProperties(). I made an error while posting the code to the question.
I think this should solve your problem if not double check your identifiers
and you can make sure to data passing with adding print(passedLandmark) to viewDidLoad() or breakpoint to make sure you getting the data
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let destinationvc = segue.destinationViewController
if let landmarkvc = destinationvc as? LandmarkTableViewController {
if segue.identifier == "showLibrary" {
let library = Landmark(name: "Run Run Shaw Library", properties: ["Chinese Kanji", "Gray", "Green Plants"])
landmarkvc.passedLandmark = library
}
if segue.identifier == "showBank" {
let bank = Landmark(name: "Hang Seng Bank", properties: ["Chinese Kanji", "Green"])
landmarkvc.passedLandmark = bank
}
}
}
Hope this will helps
Code is missing from your quote, so I can't be sure, but I assume your loadData() method is the one that reloads the table view data with Landmark you've passed in prepareForSegue. If that is the case:
viewDidLoad() is called before prepareForSegue, so that all the views and elements of the destinationViewController are loaded and ready to use. Thus, in your case, the table view is loaded with your "temp" data and nothing makes it reload when you set the proper one.
You have two options:
You could call loadData()/reloadData() in viewWillAppear for example, which is called after prepareForSegue(). Bare in mind that viewWillAppear will possibly be called again in some other navigation.
Otherwise, you could instantiate and present/push the new controller in your parent view controller, instead of using the segue.
I have a push segue on my StoryBoard which is named toGuestVC.
I use that to segue to the next ViewController in my didSelectRowAtIndexPath method like so:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let username = followUsernameArray[indexPath.row]
performSegue(withIdentifier: SG_TO_GUEST_VIEW_CONTROLLER, sender: username)
}
Then in my prepareForSegue:
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == SG_TO_GUEST_VIEW_CONTROLLER {
if let nextVC = segue.destination as? GuestCollectionVC, let sender = sender as? String {
print("PRINTING NEXT VC: \(nextVC)") //This prints out the memory address. Not sure if this is what you meant by print nextVC.
nextVC.guestUser = sender
}
}
}
For some reason this line in my prepareForSegue is not running:
nextVC.guestUser = sender.username
When I try to print out the value guestUser in my nextViewController the value of guestUser is nil. But when I print out the value of sender in my prepareForSegue method it is not nil.
So is my sender value not being passed to the next ViewController? I can't find a solution to this problem any ideas?
GuestCollectionVC Implementation:
import UIKit
import Parse
private let reuseIdentifier = "Cell"
class GuestCollectionVC: UICollectionViewController {
var guestUser: String!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
print("PRINTING SELF IN GuestCollectionVC: \(self)")
loadPosts()
}
func loadPosts() {
//Load posts query
let query = PFQuery(className: PF_POSTS_CLASS)
query.limit = postCount
//Getting error here below this comment when I use guestUser since it is nil
query.whereKey(PF_POSTS_USERNAME_COLUMN, equalTo: guestUser)
query.findObjectsInBackground { (result: [PFObject]?, error: Error?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
if let result = result {
self.uuidOfPosts.removeAll(keepingCapacity: false)
self.imageArrayOfPFFIle.removeAll(keepingCapacity: false)
for postObject in result {
if let uuid = postObject[PF_POSTS_UUID_COLUMN] as? String, let pic = postObject[PF_POSTS_PIC_COLUMN] as? PFFile {
self.uuidOfPosts.append(uuid)
self.imageArrayOfPFFIle.append(pic)
}
}
self.collectionView?.reloadData()
}
}else if error != nil {
print("ERROR FROM GUEST COLLECTION VC FROM loadPosts FUNCTION: \(error?.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
}
So this is my implementation in the GuestViewController. In my loadPosts method where I used the variable guestUser I am getting the error:
fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
From console printing
PRINTING NEXT VC: "InstagramClone.GuestCollectionVC: 0x7a6c5cc0"
PRINTING SELF IN GuestCollectionVC: "InstagramClone.GuestCollectionVC: 0x7a6c5100"
it's now obvious that hidden unexpected instance of GuestCollectionVC was created. So, there are different errors occurs depending on order of this two objects invoke their viewDidLoad method (can be any order). Also there are can be other errors in nextVC viewDidLoad method, but this is other story for other question.
You got this problems because you created action segue, that works automatically on cell click (hidden view controller created), and at the same time you are perform this segue in code, creating second controller nextVC.
To solve issue, you should find and remove that segue and add new one, not action segue from some element of your view controller, but "empty" segue between view controllers. To create segue of this type you should select first view controller, hold "control" key and start dragging to next view controller from yellow square on top of first view controller (that symbol controller itself), choose "show", and set identifier.
Since I don't have the full context of the values within your tableView method I can only speculate. That said, the sender you're passing in should be the view controller:
performSegue(withIdentifier: "toGuestVC", sender: username)
You're passing in a value called username which looks to be a string value? It should be something like:
performSegue(withIdentifier: "toGuestVC", sender: self)
where self is your view controller. If you're passing in a string value to sender then in your prepareForSegue method then sender does not have a property called username sender actually is username. Therefore you should pass the value elsewhere:
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow
if let nextVC = segue.destination as? GuestCollectionVC {
nextVC.guestUser = followUsernameArray[indexPath.row]
}
}
I am working on an iOS app that logs the user in by a Login View.
There are two controllers: LognViewController and SignUpViewController
If a new user signs up instead, then the Sign Up View Controller makes an API call to retrieve a new user account. Then, the Sign Up page should transfer the new User object back to the Login page, which in turn logs the user in to the main app.
Based on a previous post I like the idea of a closure, and I'm trying to implement it here; however, I'm getting a nil on the closure function variable. My code is something like this:
In the First Controller:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "userSignUp" {
if !self.userTextField.text!.isEmpty {
let nav = segue.destinationViewController as! UINavigationController
let vc = nav.topViewController as! SignUpViewController
vc.email = self.userTextField.text!
vc.submitUser = signUpToLogIn
}
}
}
// asynchronous get user back from sign up
func signUpToLogIn(currentUser: User) {
self.currentUser = currentUser
self.checkCurrentUser()
}
In the Second Controller:
var submitUser: ((currentUser: User) -> ())!
#IBAction func signUpButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
doSignUp({(u: User?) -> () in
if u != nil {
self.submitUser(currentUser: u!)
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
}
})
}
I'm looking at the debugger, and it says fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value When I work with a breakpoint, I can see in the variables section that the submitUser variable is always nil.
Is there a different way of doing this now?
Instead of passing a closure, can you use delegation instead? Your SignUpViewController can notify your LoginViewController when a new user has signed up and pass the new User object back through a delegate method like so
Signup View Controller:
protocol SignUpDelegate {
func userDidSignUp(u: User)
}
class SignUpViewController: UIViewController {
var delegate: SignUpDelegate?
#IBAction func signUpButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
// Make async call to sign new user up here
// Once you get a User back from your API call your delegate
// method in your completion or at the end of your network call
self.delegate?.userDidSignUp(newUserObject)
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
}
}
Then in your login view controller you can implement this delegate method
Login view controller:
class LoginViewController: UIViewController {
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "userSignUp" {
if !self.userTextField.text!.isEmpty {
let nav = segue.destinationViewController as! UINavigationController
let vc = nav.topViewController as! SignUpViewController
vc.email = self.userTextField.text!
vc.delegate = self
}
}
}
// MARK: SignUpDelegate
func userDidSignUp(u: User) {
// Log user in with new user
}
}
Inside the #IBAction func signUpButtonTapped(sender: UIButton):
Try using this function to do the transition to another view controller:
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"segueIdentifierHere" sender:self];
Don't forget to remove the self.dismissViewController function you are currently using before you try the performSegueWithIdentifier
Edit 1: I've restructured my ViewControllers to make it easier to get what I want done.
Edit 2: I realized something major was missing while adding notes to my code, another function overrides the first segue.
This ViewController is where the annotation is created; all I need from this view is for the touchMapCoordinates to be transferred to the other ViewController so I can save the PFGeoPoint in an array.
Edit 3
After long work on understanding what is going on and simplifying the code, i've came down to the final conclusion based off of Swift- variable not initialized before use (but it's not used) , that the current method that I'm trying to use will not work in any case or scenario due to it saving Asynchronously. If anyone knows a work around, then you have officially done something that hasn't been done before :).
Error that is showing up is
Constant 'boi' used before being initialized

Over ride prepareForSegue method like below.
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender:
AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "SegueID" {
let destinationVC = segue.destinationViewController as! DestinationViewController
// Create property in destinationView controller & assign required data from here.
}
}
Hope it helps.
Lets treat your Location data as a normal data to be transferred through segues.
You can use this method to configure your destination View controller variable(same type) that will hold your location data.
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
//check your segue name
if segue.identifier == "YourSegueIdentifier" {
let destinationVC = segue.destinationViewController as! YourDestinationViewController
destinationVC.locationVariableInDestinationVC = locationVariableInCurrentVC
}
}
Above is the simplest way to pass data via segue, you can use the same approach for your location data too.
Hope that helps!!
Update: Based on your updated code
Move func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {} out of your handleLongPress function. PrepareForSegue function gets called automatically when there is any navigation happening through segues..
If you want to initiate a segue navigation programatically then assign a identifier to the segue and just call self.performSegueWithIdentifier("YourSegueIdentifier", sender: nil)
