Sending data between 2 classes with Delegate Methods

I am trying to send data between 2 classes via MultipeerConnectivity. I am trying to do this via delegate methods.

I have defined this protocol:

protocol AssetDelegate {
    func changeThisName(data: Data)
}

My main ViewController is the AssetDelegate and has implemented the function simply as:

func changeThisName(data: Data) {
    print("changeThisName called")
    if let image = UIImage(data: data) {
        imageViewAsset.image = image
    }
}

This is simply to see if a received image can be decoded and assigned to the imageViewAsset UI element.

This method is called within a MultipeerConnectivity "Manager" class that I have defined, which has an instance in the AppDelegate (is this the definition of a "singleton"?)

My "MPCManager" class has the various MCSession delegate methods, specifically session(didReceive:data) method, which is:

var assetDelegate: AssetDelegate?

func session(_ session: MCSession, didReceive data: Data, fromPeer peerID: MCPeerID) {
    print("Data Recieved: \(data)")
    self.assetDelegate?.changeThisName(data: data)
}

I see the print("Data Received:(data)") in the console log. But I do not see the print statement of the changeThisName method.

This is the console log output. Essentially there are 2 rows showing the MPC connectivity ("other state" and "session connected"). Then there are 2 "Received Data" items.

Solution 
  • protocol AssetDelegate {
    func changeThisName(data: Data)
}

class A: AssetDelegate {
    func goToClassB(){
        var b = B()
        b.assetDelegate = self // <-- I don't see this line in your code
    }
}

class B {
    var assetDelegate: AssetDelegate?

    func passDataToA(){
        self.assetDelegate?.changeThisName(whatEverDataHere)
    }
}
