Delegate didSet property of UIView not being called inside custom UITableViewCell - ios

Question

I've been banging my head on the desk for the past 2 hours trying to figure this out so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm using CVCalendar (the develop branch) and I'm trying to place the CalendarView inside a custom UITableViewCell so I can make it look something like this:
The problem I'm facing is that it doesn't set the delegate property when I call self.calendarView.calendarDelegate = self inside the custom UITableViewCell
I know it's not being set because I've placed a println inside the delegate didSet property that's not being outputted.
Here is the CalendarViewDelegate outlet inside the CalendarView
// MARK: - Calendar View Delegate
#IBOutlet weak var calendarDelegate: AnyObject? {
set {
if let calendarDelegate = newValue as? Delegate {
delegate = calendarDelegate
println("delegate did set property called")
}
}
get {
return delegate
}
}
Here is my code for the custom UITableViewCell I'm working with.
import UIKit
class CalendarCell: UITableViewCell {
var calendarView: CVCalendarView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
selectionStyle = .None
self.calendarView = CVCalendarView(frame: self.frame)
self.calendarView.calendarDelegate = self
self.calendarView.calendarAppearanceDelegate = self
self.calendarView.animatorDelegate = self
contentView.addSubview(calendarView)
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
self.calendarView.commitCalendarViewUpdate()
}
}
Here is my UITableViewController code:
import UIKit
class CalendarTableViewController: UITableViewController {
#IBOutlet var myTableView: UITableView!
var items = ["Apple", "Banana"];
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.myTableView.registerClass(CalendarCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: NSStringFromClass(CalendarCell))
self.myTableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
self.myTableView.dataSource = self
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func creatHeaderCell() -> UITableViewCell {
var headerCell = self.myTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(NSStringFromClass(CalendarCell)) as! CalendarCell
return headerCell
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
return 300
}
return 44
}
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 2
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
switch (section) {
case 0:
return 1
default:
return items.count
}
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
return self.creatHeaderCell()
}
let cell = self.myTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel!.text = "Thomas"
// Configure the cell...
return cell
}
}

Answer 1

Your println statement is probably not reached because your if condition if let calendarDelegate = newValue as? Delegate is not true because what you pass in as calenderDelegate is a CalenderCell, not a Delegate or CVCalendarViewDelegate (typealias).
Additionally your CalendarCell does not conform to CVCalendarViewAppearanceDelegate and CVCalendarViewAnimatorDelegate.
You have to make your cell conform to those protocols to be able to set them as delegates.
