i am wondering that if it is possible to set the delegate of input stream to another class. So far all examples i have encountered are with self:
[inputStream setDelegate:self]
.
I want to set delegate to another class like a ViewController
not self. Thanks in advance.
if your ViewController
is responding to NSStreamDelegate
, you can initiate an instance of the controller and set the delegate as usual.
@interface ViewController : NSOperation<NSStreamDelegate>
...
-
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] init];
[inputStream setDelegate:vc];
for example
update:
use an id or UIViewController<NSStreamDelegate>
variable in the TCPConnection
class to hold the parent.
For example:
// TCPConnection.h
@interface TCPConnection : NSOperation<NSStreamDelegate>
@property(nonatomic, assign) UIViewController<NSStreamDelegate> parent;
-(id)initWithParent:(UIViewController<NSStreamDelegate> *)p_parent;
...
...
// TCPConnection.m
-(id)initWithParent:(UIViewController<NSStreamDelegate> *)p_parent
{
self = [super init];
self.parent = p_parent;
return self;
}
// UIViewController<NSStreamDelegate>.m
TCPConnection *connection = [[TCPConnection alloc] initWithParent:self];
Or a singlton solution, where you always call only
TCPConnection *connection = [TCPConnection sharedInstance];
and have only one instance of this class. For the most cases the best way ;)
