I have a new problem waiting for a solution. I have a little bit wired layout now. My MainView is a TableView, in one of the 6 custom cells is one cell that have a TableView in it. By clicking on a cell of this inner tableView I want a segue to a new YTPlayerViewController, a view for watching a youtube video using googles YThelper classes.
The problem is, that performSegueWithIdentifier and override func prepareForSegue stuff doesn't work because I have to handle them in my custom UITableViewCell class that don't know these functions.
Is there any alternative?
I just want to transfer my videoId from the cell to the YTPlayerViewController, open it and play the Video. From there it should be possible to go back.
hope you guys can understand and help me.
Greetings from germany
My Class:
class DetailVideoCell: UITableViewCell , UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
var selectedVideoIndex: Int!
/*override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "showPlayer" {
let playerViewController = segue.destinationViewController as! YTPlayerViewController
playerViewController.videoID = Data.youTubeVideos[selectedVideoIndex]["videoId"] as! String
}
}*/
// MARK: TableViewDataSource functions.
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return Data.youTubeVideos.count ?? 3
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell: VideoDetailCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("VideoDetailCell") as! VideoDetailCell
let url = NSURL(string: Data.youTubeVideos[indexPath.row]["thumbnail"] as! String)
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
let image = UIImage(data: data!)
cell.videoThumbnail.image = image
cell.channelTitle.text = Data.youTubeVideos[indexPath.row]["channelTitle"] as? String
cell.videoTitle.text = Data.youTubeVideos[indexPath.row]["title"] as? String
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
selectedVideoIndex = indexPath.row
print(selectedVideoIndex)
//performSegueWithIdentifier("showPlayer", sender: indexPath)
}
}
In your DetailVideoCell:
// Create a protocol that will act as the delegate
protocol DetailVideoCellDelegate: class {
func selectedCellAtIndex(index: Int)
}
class DetailVideoCell: UITableViewCell , UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
var selectedVideoIndex: Int!
// Create a delegate object
weak var delegate: DetailVideoCellDelegate?
/*override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "showPlayer" {
let playerViewController = segue.destinationViewController as! YTPlayerViewController
playerViewController.videoID = Data.youTubeVideos[selectedVideoIndex]["videoId"] as! String
}
}*/
// MARK: TableViewDataSource functions.
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return Data.youTubeVideos.count ?? 3
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell: VideoDetailCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("VideoDetailCell") as! VideoDetailCell
let url = NSURL(string: Data.youTubeVideos[indexPath.row]["thumbnail"] as! String)
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
let image = UIImage(data: data!)
cell.videoThumbnail.image = image
cell.channelTitle.text = Data.youTubeVideos[indexPath.row]["channelTitle"] as? String
cell.videoTitle.text = Data.youTubeVideos[indexPath.row]["title"] as? String
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
selectedVideoIndex = indexPath.row
print(selectedVideoIndex)
// use the delegate to send the selected index back to your MainView
delegate?.selectedCellAtIndex(selectedVideoIndex)
//performSegueWithIdentifier("showPlayer", sender: indexPath)
}
}
In your MainView:
class MainView: DetailVideoCellDelegate {
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
// However you are configuring your cells set the DetailVideoCell delegate to self
if cell.delegate == nil {
cell.delegate = self
}
return cell
}
func selectedCellAtIndex(index: Int) {
// Or whatever you are using the index for
let identifier = yourArray[index]
// Easiest way is to use a navigation controller to handle the segues to be able to go back
// Otherwise you will need to do it in a custom way
self.navigationController?.performSegueWithIdentifier(identifier, sender: self)
}
}
