Answer 1

You can use delegate. In your popover Swift file create such protocol:
protocol PopoverDelegate {
func didSelectFont(font: UIFont)
}
In your popover class create such implementation of newly created protocol:
class popoverviewcontroller : UITableViewController {
var delegate: PopoverDelegate?
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
var row = indexPath.row
// How to update label from here
delegate.didSelectFont(youFontHere)
}
}
Now in your main view controller, if you are presenting your popover programmatically, you should set your popover's delegate property to self. If your are presenting popover from storyboard, just handle segue:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
// Get the new view controller using [segue destinationViewController].
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
let destination = segue.destinationViewController as! popoverviewcontroller
destination.delegate = self
}
Now implement delegate method:
func didSelectFont(font: UIFont) {
//Update label's font
}
And of course don't forget to add delegate to your main view controller:
class mainViewController: UIViewController, PopoverDelegate { ...
Hope it helps!
