Duplicate interface definition for class "ViewController" - ios

At the last line, I got the error: Duplicate interface definition for class "ViewController". I want to do an IBAction. What is the fault? What can I do? Please help me.
//
// ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#interface SimpleEmailViewController : UIViewController <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate>
- (IBAction)showEmail:(id)sender;
#end
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate> {
}
-(IBAction)sendMessage:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)showEmail:(id)sender;
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIWebView *site ;
- (IBAction)call:(id)sender;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *myBotton;
#end
#interface ViewController : UIViewController**i**

The problem is exactly what the error states. You defined #interface viewController twice. Change the name of one to something else. As a side note, it is a terrible idea to name something with a name apple has already used. You should change both viewControllers to something else, more descriptive of what it does, like mailViewController or setupViewController. Weird stuff can happen when you use apple defined names.
#interface FSMainiPadViewController : UIViewController

Why don't you just make it simple like this?
// ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate, MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate>
// Actions
- (IBAction)showEmail:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)sendMessage:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)call:(id)sender;
// Properties
#property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIWebView *site;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *myBotton;
#end

Cannot find delegate defined in another header

I have a very simple problem, yet because it's so simple, I can't find anything wrong with it to fix.
ListSelectorUtility.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol ListSelectorDelegate <NSObject>
- (void) returnValueString:(NSString *)value requestID:(long)requestID;
#end
#interface ListSelectorUtility : UITableViewController
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *data;
#property (weak, nonatomic) id<ListSelectorDelegate> delegate;
#property (nonatomic) long requestID;
#end
UpdateProperty.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ListSelectorUtility.h"
#interface UpdateProperty : UITableViewController <ListSelectorDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSDictionary *data;
#end
There's an error on the #interface UpdateProperty : UITableViewController <ListSelectorDelegate> saying that No type or protocol named 'ListSelectorDelegate'. Why is this happened? How to solve this? Thanks.
EDIT: oh, and when I do CMD+click on the <ListSelectorDelegate>, it brings me straight up to the ListSelectorDelegate declaration. That means the IDE (supposedly) can find it.
set property of delegate (strong) on ListSelectorUtility.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) id<ListSelectorDelegate> delegate;
may bey problem of that because if it is week then dealloc by ARC and call the delegate method on ListSelectorUtility.h on your pass the data and values
[self.delegate returnValueString:obj_StringValue requestID:obj_requestID];
And finally this delegate method declare in UpdateProperty.h,
- (void) returnValueString:(NSString *)value requestID:(long)requestID
{
//---------
//Your Code
//---------
}

Trying to call custom delegate method of subclass of UITextField in iOS

I have a custom delegate that I have created for a subclass of UITextField. In the delegate class, I've declared an enum like this:
MyCustomDelegate.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "MyCustomTextField.h"
#interface MyCustomDelegate : NSObject <MyDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, strong)MyCustomTextField *customTextField;
#end
MyCustomTextField.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
typedef enum {
EnumTypeA,
EnumTypeB,
EnumTypeC,
EnumTypeD,
EnumTypeE
} MyEnumType;
#class MyCustomDelegate;
#protocol MyDelegate <NSObject>
#required
- (void)methodA;
- (void)methodB;
#end
#interface MyCustomTextField : UITextField
#property (nonatomic, weak)id <MyDelegate>myDelegate;
#property (nonatomic) MyEnumType enumType;
#end
Now, I am trying to use this enum in conjunction with my custom UITextField elsewhere in my project, like this:
MyViewController.h
#import "MyCustomTextField.h"
#import "MyCustomDelegate.h"
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface MyViewController : UIViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet MyCustomTextField *mySampleTextField;
#end
MyViewController.m:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.mySampleTextField setMyEnumType:EnumTypeA];
}
However, I am getting the error, "No visible #interface for 'MyCustomTextField' declares the selector 'setMyEnumType'".
Can anyone see what it is I'm doing wrong?
Objective-C will automatically generate setter for you based on the name of the property (enumType) instead of the name of type (MyEnumType). So your setters should be the following instead:
[self.mySampleTextField setEnumType:EnumTypeA];

Property not found although it's in the header

I have one view and one View Controller. I am trying to have a reference to View Controller from the view.
PlusCalendarView.h
#interface PlusCalendarView : TSQCalendarView
#property (nonatomic, strong) UIViewController *initialVC;
#end
ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self setUpCalendarView:self.myCalendarView];
self.myCalendarView.initialVC = self; // ERROR: Property initialVC not found on object of type "PlusCalendarView"
}
How come it cannot find initialVC property?
Update:
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <TimesSquare/TimesSquare.h>
#interface PlusCalendarView : TSQCalendarView;
#end
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSCalendar *calendar;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet PlusCalendarView *myCalendarView;
#end
The problem is that you're declaring PlusCalendarView in ViewController.h AND PlusCalendarView.h. You should remove the #interface declaration from ViewController.h.
Instead, add #class PlusCalendarView in ViewController.h then #import "PlusCalendarView.h" in ViewController.m

Defining a delegate in a UIView/UIViewController relationship

I have a subclassed UIView called TargetView that is contained in a UIViewController called MainViewController. I want to set MainViewController as the delegate for TargetView so that MainViewController can receive messages from the child view (TargetView).
In my MainViewController (UIViewController) header I have the following:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "TargetView.h"
#class TargetView;
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <TargetViewDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet TargetView *target;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblResults;
#end
When I set the TargetViewDelegate in the interface declaration, it shows up in code completion so it knows that it's there, but then the build fails with the message: can't find protocol declaration..."
In my TargetView (UIView) class I have the following:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "MainViewController.h"
#protocol TargetViewDelegate
#required
-(void)receivedTargetTap;
#end
#interface TargetView : UIView{
id<TargetViewDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *lblResults;
#property (nonatomic,weak) id<TargetViewDelegate> delegate;
#end
Creating custom delegates is uncharted territory for me. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
I believe your TargetView.h should be :
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#protocol TargetViewDelegate <NSObject>
#required
-(void)receivedTargetTap;
#end
#interface TargetView : UIView
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *lblResults;
#property (nonatomic, weak) id<TargetViewDelegate> delegate;
#end
MainViewController.h :
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "TargetView.h"
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <TargetViewDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet TargetView *target;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lblResults;
#end
From your code, you must add <NSObject> after your protocol definition, and remove the MainViewController.h import in your TargetView class.
I think there might be a problem with your import statements in both .h files.
Why do you reference MainViewController.h from TargetView.h? It seems like you don't need it. On the other hand, you should remove the forward declaration of #class TargetView in MainViewController.h, and the simple #import "TargetView.h" should be enough.
After that, you'll also need to implement the required - (void)receivedTargetTap;, otherwise the compiler will complain again that the TargetViewDelegate is not fully implemented.

Objective-C inheritance [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Objective-C: How do you access parent properties from subclasses?
(5 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I'm making a very simple app that has lots of different quizzes. My motivation is primarily to learn Objective-C and iOS development. So I have a few views in my app, all of them have the same background which I set programmatically. I decided to make a subclass of UIViewController which added the function setBackground, and make all ViewControllers in my app inherit this subclass (SumsViewController).
This worked fine, but now I'd like to take out some of the stuff that's common to each quiz and add that in to a subclass of SumsViewController, called QuizController. Having tried this I'm getting errors about property x not found on object of type y.
Here's the code:
SumsViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface SumsViewController : UIViewController
- (void)setBackground;
#end
SumsViewController.m
#import "SumsViewController.h"
#interface SumsViewController ()
#end
#implementation SumsViewController
- (void)setBackground
{
... //Code to set Background
}
#end
QuizController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "SumsViewController.h"
#interface QuizController : SumsViewController
#property (nonatomic) NSInteger number1;
#property (nonatomic) NSInteger number2;
#property (nonatomic) NSInteger difficulty;
#property (nonatomic) NSInteger score_val;
#property (nonatomic) NSTimer* countdown;
#property (nonatomic) NSInteger time_val;
#end
QuizController.m
#import "QuizController.h"
#interface QuizController ()
#end
#implementation QuizController
#end
Now here's a controller for a quiz that inherits QuizController:
AdditionController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "QuizController.h"
#interface AdditionController : QuizController
#end
AdditionController.m
#import "AdditionController.h"
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface AdditionController ()
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *question;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *timer;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *ans1;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *ans2;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *ans3;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *score;
#end
#implementation AdditionController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self setBackground]; //function declared in SumsViewController WORKS FINE
self.difficulty = 20; //declared in QuizController DOES NOT WORK
// Error says property not member of object AdditionController
[self setupGame];
}
#end
I'd appreciate any help on this, I'm sure it's a simple misunderstanding but this is frustrating me.
Try cleaning you project and re building files ( Command + Shift + K ).
I'm suggesting that because I just copied your code in a sample project, and it works fine on my computer.
