NSImageview change in two active viewcontrollers a

Question

I have two viewcontrollers 1) Profile.h &.m, 2) settings.h &.m. Both have NSimageview, so when i change imageview on settings,thenn at same time how change imageview on opened viewcontroller profile.

Answer 1

Use notification or Delegate method.

Notification method:

profile.m

-(viewDidLoad) {
   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self selector: @selector(changeImageview) name:@"changeImage" object: nil];
 }


-(changeimageView) {
  //Change Image here
 }

settings.m

-(void)changeImageForSettingsView{
     [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"changeImage" object: nil];
 }

Answer 2

I have done thing by making one demo. In that demo i am selecting photo using UIImagePicker then displaying it in UIImage and passing that same image in other page. So you can do this thing in same way. Just you store your image in any variable and pass that variable to other page. I mean when you change your image in Setting ViewController, store that image in any variable and fetch that variable in your Profile ViewController and display image in your Profile ViewController.

#import "ImageShowViewController.h"
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "CollectionViewCell.h"

@interface ImageShowViewController ()

{
    NSMutableArray *filelist;
}
//@synthesize collectionview;

@end

@implementation ImageShowViewController
@synthesize data;

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,     YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *localFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@",[data objectAtIndex:0]]];
    
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
  //  NSLog(@"%@", _data);
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInCollectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
{
    return 1;
}

- (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    return data.count;
}


- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    static NSString *identifier = @"Cell";
    
    CollectionViewCell *cell = [self.collectionview dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:identifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
    
    
    
    UIImageView *recipeImageView = cell.imgcollection;
    //[recipeImageView setImage:[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]]]];
    
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,     YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *localFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@",[data objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]]];
    recipeImageView.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:localFilePath];
    // cell.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"photo-frame.png"]];
    
    return cell;
}
