I have figured out how to pass data between views with delegates in other situations but this one is stumping me.
In this example I am trying to send data resulting from pressing a button, up to the label using a delegate pattern but without any success. My guess is that I am missing something fundamental here and I haven't found any examples that deal with delegates in quite this way.

import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, CellInfoDelegate {
var cellViewController = CellViewController()
//The place to put the number into.
@IBOutlet weak var sumLabel: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
cellViewController.delegate = self
}
//2)...to here.
func processThatNumber(theNumber: Int) {
println("out : \(theNumber)")
}
}
// Table View delegates
extension ViewController: UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate
{
//One row
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 1
}
// Load custom cell
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("thisCustomCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CellViewController
return cell
}
}
//-------------------- Protocol for Delegate -----------------------
protocol CellInfoDelegate {
func processThatNumber(theNumber: Int)
}
//-------------------- Cell to Pass info to Parent -----------------------
class CellViewController: UITableViewCell{
var sumNumber: Int = 0
var delegate: CellInfoDelegate?
@IBAction func addButton(sender: AnyObject) {
// increment that number
self.sumNumber += 5
//1) I want to get it from here...... but delegate ends up nil
if let delegate = self.delegate {
delegate.processThatNumber(self.sumNumber)
}
//Shows that the number is incrementing
println(sumNumber)
}
}
The ViewController and CellViewController are connected to their respective classes
Thanks in advance.
