I want to instantiate a ViewController from a custom tableViewCell(conforming to UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionDatasource) class which has a custom CollectionView embedded in it.The segue needs to be performed when a particular section of the CollectionView is selected. Already tried using protocols doesnt work!
my custom TableView class :-
import UIKit
protocol transferDelegate{
func transfer(_: Int)
}
class ParentTableViewCell: UITableViewCell, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource{
@IBOutlet weak var parentCellHeader: UIView!
@IBOutlet weak var feedPostUsername: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var feedPostUserDetails: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var feedPostDescription: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var feedPicturesCollectionView: UICollectionView!
@IBOutlet weak var feedUserProfilePictures: CustomProfilepicture!
var transferingDelegate : transferDelegate?
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
feedPicturesCollectionView.dataSource = self
feedPicturesCollectionView.delegate = self
feedPicturesCollectionView.pagingEnabled = true
feedPicturesCollectionView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
}
override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
func numberOfSectionsInCollectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 10
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) ->
UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = feedPicturesCollectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("FeedPicturesCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! FeedPhotosCell
switch(indexPath.row){
case 0 : cell.feedImages.image = UIImage(named: "defaultProfilePic")
case 1 : cell.feedImages.image = UIImage(named: "image1")
case 2 : cell.feedImages.image = UIImage(named: "image2")
case 3 : cell.feedImages.image = UIImage(named: "image3")
default : cell.feedImages.image = UIImage(named: "defaultProfilePic")
}
return cell
}
func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
print(indexPath.row)
transferingDelegate?.transfer(indexPath.row)
}
}
my viewController class : -
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController , UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource,transferDelegate{
var xibName : String = "HomepageFeedCellHeader"
var lords : [String] = ["name1","name2","name3"]
var que : [String] = ["--","red","blue"]
var desc : [String] = ["abcE","defn","ghi"]
var menProfilePictures : [UIImage] = [UIImage(named: "image1")!,UIImage(named: "image2")!,UIImage(named: "image3")!]
@IBOutlet weak var parentTableView: UITableView!
var a : ParentTableViewCell = ParentTableViewCell()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
parentTableView.delegate = self
parentTableView.dataSource = self
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return lords.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = parentTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("ParentCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ParentTableViewCell
a.transferingDelegate = self
cell.feedPostUsername.text = lords[indexPath.row]
cell.feedPostUserDetails.text = queens[indexPath.row]
cell.feedPostDescription.text = desc[indexPath.row]
cell.feedUserProfilePictures.image = menProfilePictures[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func transfer(itemNo : Int) {
print("call recieved in viewController from item \(itemNo)")
}
}
