I want to use a TableView for the detail side of a Master Detail app. I have started with the standard Master Detail project in Xcode, deleted the standard app that comes with it, deleted the standard UIView detail controller, added a TableView controller, added a TextView to the prototype cell for testing, and created a new segue to the new TableView. I subclassed UITableViewCell and created an outlet (detailTextView) from the TextView to the subclass (TableViewCell). Changed the class in DetailViewController.swift from UIViewController to UITableViewController. I am successfully passing a string stringForTextView = "String for TextView"
from master to the detail. But I can't figure out how to display that string in the TextView. I tried to reference the TextView text in the detail view through the outlet (detailTextView.text
) but got "Use of unresolved identifier detailTextView"
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Relevant code is shown below.
You can also download the whole project here if that would be helpful: http://greendept.com/MasterDetailTwoTableViews/
TableViewCell.swift (subclass for prototype cell in detail)
import UIKit
class TableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
@IBOutlet weak var detailTextView: UITextView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
DetailViewController.swift
import UIKit
class DetailViewController: UITableViewController {
var stringForTextView : String?
var detailItem: AnyObject? {
didSet {
// Update the view.
self.configureView()
}
}
func configureView() {
// THE NEXT TWO LINES WORK: PASSED IN STRING PRINTS TO CONSOLE
let printThis = stringForTextView! as String
print("\(printThis)")
// BUT THE REFERENCE TO THE OUTLET BELOW DOES NOT WORK, GIVES
// "Use of unresolved identifier detailTextView"
detailTextView.text = printThis
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
