Swift / UIView / drawrect - how to get drawrect to

问题:

I'm new to learning Swift, and am trying to get an incredibly simple app to run. All I'm trying to do is get UIView.drawRect to update when I press a button. It updates/draws when the app first loads, and then nothing after that, whatever I try. I've been hitting my head against this for a couple of days, and nothing I can find helps.

I created:

• single view application

• one button, linked to view controller as an action

• a new class, Test_View, subclassing UIView

ViewController code:

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

        var f = Test_View()

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    @IBAction func Button_Pressed(sender: AnyObject) {
        var f = Test_View()
        f.setNeedsDisplay()
        NSLog("Button pressed.")
    }

}

Test_View code:

class Test_View: UIView {

    override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
        let h = rect.height
        let w = rect.width
        var color:UIColor = UIColor.yellowColor()

        var drect = CGRect(x: (w * 0.25),y: (h * 0.25),width: (w * 0.5),height: (h * 0.5))
        var bpath:UIBezierPath = UIBezierPath(rect: drect)

        color.set()
        bpath.stroke()

        NSLog("drawRect has updated the view")            

    }

}

(Note: the log is updated every time I press the button, so that's not the problem. It's just that the display never changes. Also, I've tried drawing the rectangle with random coordinates, so it's not that it's updating but I'm not seeing it.)

Thanks for any help!

First, you need to specify a designated initializer for UIView (init with frame). Then make your object f a class constant or variable (depending on your need) so it can be accessed within the scope of the project. Also, you must add it as a subview of your view. It looks like this:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    let f = Test_View(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50))

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.addSubview(f)
    }

    @IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: UIButton) {
        f.setNeedsDisplay()
    }
}

class Test_View: UIView {

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        let h = rect.height
        let w = rect.width
        let color:UIColor = UIColor.yellow

        let drect = CGRect(x: (w * 0.25),y: (h * 0.25),width: (w * 0.5),height: (h * 0.5))
        let bpath:UIBezierPath = UIBezierPath(rect: drect)

        color.set()
        bpath.stroke()

        NSLog("drawRect has updated the view")

    }

}

You are calling setNeedsDisplay a local instance of Test_View instantiated in the Press_Button function, not one in you UIViewController (which you need to make by the way, creating it as a local variable in ViewDidLoad does you no good). You might want to create it as an @IBOutlet, then use interface builder to define an instance to attach to that variable - UIViewController looks as follows:

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var instruction: UILabel?
    @IBOutlet weak var f: Test_View?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    @IBAction func Button_Pressed(sender: AnyObject) {
        f.setNeedsDisplay()
        NSLog("Button pressed.")
    }
