I have a UIPopoverController that has a UITableView that is populated. I am trying to pass the information from the popovercontroller to the superview. The tableview that is placed in the popovercontroller is receiving the information with the didSelectRow method but the information is not transferring to the textView placed in the superView.
Below is the code I use to try and place the selected user in the textview and underneath that is the Superview code where I try to take the string and place it into the actual field when the index is clicked. I know my issue is I am not telling my superView that the row was touched and to send that information into the field but I have searched and con not find a good explanation on how to attempt this.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great!
thanks
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath
*)indexPath {
if (indexPath){
NSString *selectedUser = [(Tweet*)[Friend objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
followingScreenName];
TwitterFollowersTimline *textBox = [[TwitterFollowersTimline alloc]
initWithNibName:@"TwitterFollowersTimeline" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
textBox.selectedFriend = selectedUser;
NSLog(@"%@", selectedUser);
[textBox release];
textBox = nil;
}
}
In my SuperView
selectedFriend = [[NSString alloc] init];
creatTweetText.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"@%@", selectedFriend];
In order to pass information from the View Controller of the popover you're going to want to set up a delegate. Here's a link to Apple's documentation and also a good guide example.
http://iosdevelopertips.com/objective-c/the-basics-of-protocols-and-delegates.html
Essentially when you create the View Controller that houses the methods for your table view, you'll want to give it a delegate. Then once a cell is selected in your table view, you'll be able to send a call to your delegate with any information you need.
