I have two View Controllers. The first UIViewController 'DiscrimUIViewCollection' has 5 buttons, each linked to one @IBAction func showAdvicePopUp(_ sender: UIButton) in the swift file. I can use the print(sender.currentTitle) successfully and it prints out the title to each of the 5 buttons.
In the Second View Controller, 'PopUpViewContoller' I have a UILabel that I would like to set the Text of from the Title of the sender button from the first controller.
I have used various func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: UIButton?) commands, but the problem is that the 'PopUpViewController' just does not receive the 'sender.currentTitle' from the 'DiscrimUIViewCollection'.
I've been at this 2 days now and cannot find the answer.
I want the Value of var updateTheLabel: String? to receive the sender.currentTitle from the 'DiscrimUIViewCollection' and I think that it will all work.
I don't have any Segue arrows on the main.storyboard as I've done it all programmatically.
I've included the code below for you to review.
Thanks in advance.
class DiscrimUIViewCollection: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {
public var buttonText = ""
@IBAction func showAdvicePopUp(_ sender: UIButton) {
let popOverVC = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(identifier: "advicePopUpID") as! PopUpViewController
self.addChild(popOverVC)
popOverVC.view.frame = self.view.frame
self.view.addSubview(popOverVC.view)
popOverVC.didMove(toParent: (self))
buttonText = sender.currentTitle!
print(sender.currentTitle!)
print(buttonText) //THIS WORKS!
}
func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: UIButton?) {
//if segue.identifier == "advicePopUpID" {
let controller = segue.destination as! PopUpViewController
controller.updateTheLabel = buttonText
//}
}
}
And here is the PopUpViewController file:
class PopUpViewController: UIViewController {
// This file is to set the setting of the UIView Controller and how it appears.
//var desiredLabelValue: String?
var updateTheLabel: String?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.6)
self.showAnimate()
adviceTitle.text = updateTheLabel
//print(updateTheLabel!)
//adviceTitle?.text = desiredLabelValue
//To set the text of Header
//adviceTitle?.text = "Yellow Advice"
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
@IBAction func closePopUp(_ sender: Any) {
//self.view.removeFromSuperview()
//self.removeAnimate()
print(updateTheLabel)
}
func showAnimate() {
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.3, y: 1.3)
self.view.alpha = 0.0
//popUpArea.backgroundColor = colourOrange
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
self.view.alpha = 1.0
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.0, y: 1.0)
//print(self.adviceText!)
//print(self.adviceTitle!)
//self.adviceTitle?.text = "Yellow Advice"
//self.adviceTitle?.text = self.desiredLabelValue
//print(self.adviceTitle?.text!)
//Set the Background Colour of the popup box
//depending on what the Title states.
if self.adviceTitle.text == "Red Advice" {
self.popUpArea.backgroundColor = mtsRed
} else if self.adviceTitle?.text == "Orange Advice" {
self.popUpArea.backgroundColor = mtsOrange
} else if self.adviceTitle.text == "Yellow Advice" {
self.popUpArea.backgroundColor = mtsYellow
} else if self.adviceTitle.text == "Green Advice" {
self.popUpArea.backgroundColor = mtsGreen
} else if self.adviceTitle.text == "Blue Advice" {
self.popUpArea.backgroundColor = mtsBlue
}
})
}
func removeAnimate() {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.3, y: 1.3)
self.view.alpha = 0.0;
}) { (success:Bool) in
self.view.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
