I am trying to create a protocol for JSON loading delegation, JSONLoaderDelegate
. My other class, called JSONLoader
, is supposed to dispatch events to its delegate (that implements the JSONLoaderDelegate
protocol) like:
self?.delegate?.jsonLoaderdidEndWithError(self!, error: JSONLoaderError.LoadError)
The implementation of the JSONLoader is not that important (imho). However I seem to have problems to implement the protocol, this is the code:
@objc protocol JSONLoaderDelegate {
optional func jsonLoaderdidBeginLoading(jsonLoader: JSONLoader)
func jsonLoaderdidEndWithError(jsonLoader: JSONLoader, error: JSONLoader.JSONLoaderError)
func jsonLoaderDidEndWithSuccess(jsonLoader: JSONLoader)
}
This looks pretty straightforward to me but I am getting an error:
method cannot be marked @objc because the type of the parameter cannot
be represented in Objective-C.
pointed to all three functions.
Obviously, if I remove the @objc
attribute I cannot use the optional
for the function. I would really like to keep jsonLoaderdidBeginLoading
as optional tho. Any ideas / ways to solve this? Thank you!
What the 3 methods have in common is the JSONLoader
parameter, and that's what I think prevents you from bridging the protocol. In order to solve the problem you have to make it objc compatible.
I faced this problem as I had a class MyConnection
that had no parent class.
Like this.
public class MyConnection {
}
I can't put @objc
before this, as I get a warning
Only classes that inherit from NSObject can be declared @objc
So I changed the class to be inherited from NSObject
.
Like this
public class MyConnection: NSObject {
}
I had the same error. method cannot be marked @objc because the type of the parameter cannot be represented in Objective-C.
I changed the syntax to the following in swift 2.0. It works fine now!
@objc protocol AppModelDelegate {
optional func compititorList(com:[Competitor]!)
}
class Competitor:NSObject{
var id:Int?
var title:String?
}
Note: the Competitor class type changed to NSObject which cleared the delegate rule violation
Also in the case of NSJSON parsing. I changed to the following.
if (_httpStatusCode == 200) {
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
var error : NSError?
print("responseString : \(responseString) ")
var service_result:NSDictionary = NSDictionary()
do {
let anyObj = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as! [String:AnyObject]
service_result = anyObj
} catch let error as ErrorType {
print("json error: \(error)")
}
}
JSONLoaderError.LoadError
Is this an enum type? You cannot convert Swift enums to Obj-C code. You'll need to use an int instead.
