I cannot get my delegate protocol to work. I used this stack overflow questions as a guide dispatch event to parent ViewController in swift . I don't know if things have changed in Swift 3 since this post, but my function in my parentViewController is never getting called. Here is my setup.
//PROTOCOL
protocol PDPPropDetailsDelegate {
func buttonPressed(PropDetailsVC: propertyDetailsVC)
}
// CHILD VIEW CONTROLLER
class propertyDetailsVC: UIViewController {
var delegate: PDPPropDetailsDelegate?
@IBAction func emailButton(_ sender: AnyObject) {
self.delegate?.buttonPressed(PropDetailsVC: self)
}
}
The Button is getting called in Child View Controller.
// PARENT VIEW CONTROLLER
class ImageDetailsVC: UIViewController, PDPPropDetailsDelegate {
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == "container"{
container = segue.destination as! ContainerViewController
}
}
@IBAction func segmentControlAct(_ sender: Any) {
switch segmentControllerView.selectedIndex {
case 0: print("case 1")
container!.segueIdentifierReceivedFromParent("first")
case 1: print("case 2")
container!.segueIdentifierReceivedFromParent("second")
PropertyDetailsVC.delegate = self // **WHERE I SET DELEGATE**
setUpPropertyDetailsUI(property: filterImages)
default: print("default")
}
}
func buttonPressed(PropDetailsVC: propertyDetailsVC) {
print("BUTTON PRESSED")
}
}
Button Pressed is never called. I assume it has to do with the delegate not getting set properly. Not exactly sure why that would be the case though. My setUpPropertyDetailsUI(property: filterImages) takes the Outlets from that VC and sets that works just fine. I did a breakpoint and it is called when I segment over to the PropertyDetailsVC. Any advice or suggestions?
