moving the UIImageView from the main view to another - ios

Question

my code works fine in choosing the picture from the gallery and display it in the same view,
what am stuck into now, is transferring that UIImageView chosen to the next activity when "next" button is clicked
here is the code that opens the gallery
#IBAction func gallery(sender: AnyObject) {
if UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypesForSourceType(.PhotoLibrary) != nil {
picker.allowsEditing = false
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
this is the code that displays the image in the same view
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
var chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
imageChosen.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
imageChosen.image = chosenImage
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
now after the UIImageView saved in the imageChosen, here is the code am using to pass that image to the next view
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
var pass:postView = segue.destinationViewController as! postView
if(segue.identifier == "next"){
pass.imgv.image = imageChosen.image
}
}
this line of code that causes the program to crash
pass.imgv.image = imageChosen.image
the imgv in the second view is declared like this
#IBOutlet weak var imgv: UIImageView!
what am i doing wrong here, please direct me

Answer 1

You cannot set data in a view which is not rendered yet . So pass image to second view and set that Image to ImageView in secondView's viewDidLoad
override func prepareForSegue(segue: (UIStoryboardSegue!), sender: AnyObject!) {
if segue.identifier == "next" {
var pass:second = segue.destinationViewController as! second
pass.currentImage=myImageView.image;
}
}
//Second view
class second: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var tempImgView: UIImageView!
var currentImage:UIImage!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
if((currentImage) != nil){
tempImgView.image=currentImage;
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
}

Answer 2

You are using weak reference for image view and trying to get it in other controllers . do as following .
#IBOutlet Strong var imgv: UIImageView
Secondly your way of fetching view controller wrong ... Try it as following
if segue.identifier == "ShowCounterSegue"
{
if let destinationVC = segue.destinationViewController as? OtherViewController{
destinationVC.numberToDisplay = counter
}
}

Answer 3

You can't access the UIImageView directly in second View Controller. Instead create variable UIImage in second View Controller and assign your selected UIImage to it. Later in viewdidload of second View Controller set the UIImageView.
First View
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let pass:postView = segue.destinationViewController as! postView
if(segue.identifier == "next"){
pass.tempImage = imageChosen.image
}
}
Second View
#IBOutlet weak var imgv: UIImageView!
var tempImage:UIImage!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.imgv.image=tempImage
}

In the PostView, just create variable like var img: UIImage!
Replace this line pass.imgv.image = imageChosen.image with pass.img = imageChosen.image
In viewDidLoad() of PostView, add this line, imgv.image = image
We can not set properties of IBOutlets of secondView from the firstView, because IBOutlets of ViewController will get memory after execution of viewDidLoad()
So you have to create appropriate data variable to pass data to IBOutlet.
Here is the example code.
class FirstViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var imageViewInput: UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
//check the condition for your segue.identifier, if any
var destination : NewViewContrller! = segue.destinationViewController as NewViewContrller ;
if let image = imageViewInput?.image {
destination.outputImage = image;
}
}
}
class NewViewContrller: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var outputImageView: UIImageView!
var outputImage: UIImage!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
if let image = outputImage {
outputImageView.image = image;
}
}
}
