How to call presentViewController from inner class

Question

Inside my completion handler, I am trying to return the http response code in the same way as alertin JS. As soon as I get this sorting, I hope to improve my if statement to determine the end user connection problem. I watched this article.

http://www.ioscreator.com/tutorials/display-an-alert-view-in-ios8-with-swift

I also saw this answer A simple application delegation method to show the UIAlertController (in Swift) , but I get a similar method about what is windownot named.

My code silently looks like this:

class NewsViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {

var tableView: UITableView!
var titleItems: NSMutableArray = []
var descritpionItems: NSMutableArray = []

class RemoteAPI {

    // base url
    let baseUrl = "http://api.dev/web/"
    // returned array of news titles + descriptions
    var newsTitle: NSMutableArray = []
    var newsDescription: NSMutableArray = []

    func getData(completionHandler: ((NSArray?, NSError?) -> Void)) -> Void {
        // get news feed url
        let url = NSURL(string: baseUrl + "news")
        // create session
        let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
        // set task
        let task = session.dataTaskWithURL(url!, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in

            // if error isn't nil return error to getData
            if (error != nil) {
                return completionHandler(nil, error)
            }

            // check response
           if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse {
                // if response doesn't equal 200 throw an alert
                 if httpResponse.statusCode != 200 {
                let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Oh No!!", message: "Connection error",preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

                alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default,handler: nil))

                UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

                } else { // no error continue

            // convert data object to json
            let json = JSON(data: data)

            for var i = 0; i < json.count; ++i {
                // get news title from json object
                var title = json[i]["title"].string
                var blurb = json[i]["description"].string
                // add to dictionary
                self.newsTitle.addObject(title!)
                self.newsDescription.addObject(blurb!)
            }

            if (error != nil) {
                return completionHandler(nil, error)
            } else {
                return completionHandler([self.newsTitle,self.newsDescription], nil)
            }
        }
    }
    })
        task.resume()
    }
}

// get data
var api = RemoteAPI()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    self.view.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 75, width: 365, height: 480)
    self.tableView = UITableView(frame:self.view!.frame)
    self.tableView!.delegate = self
    self.tableView!.dataSource = self
    self.tableView!.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
    self.view?.addSubview(self.tableView)

    api.getData({data, error -> Void in
        if (data != nil) {
            self.titleItems = self.api.newsTitle
            self.descritpionItems = self.api.newsDescription
            self.tableView!.reloadData()
        } else {
            println("API failed :-(")
            println(error)
        }
    })
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int{

    return self.titleItems.count
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{

    var cell:UITableViewCell=UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Subtitle, reuseIdentifier: "mycell")

    if let newsTitle = self.titleItems[indexPath.row] as? NSString {
        cell.textLabel?.text = newsTitle
    }
    if let newsDesc = self.descritpionItems[indexPath.row] as? NSString {
        cell.detailTextLabel?.text = newsDesc
    }
    return cell
}

}

I get an error message NewsViewController.RemoteAPI does not have member named presentViewController. I understand why, just not sure what to call it in a class new to iOS

Answer 1

RemoteAPI , presentViewController(). presentViewController() - a UIViewController. .

presentViewController(), UIViewController, HTTP .

else api.getData() . . , , .

Answer 2

:

UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Answer 3

self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

.

Move your warning code to close api call termination

api.getData({data, error -> Void in
    if (data != nil) {
        self.titleItems = self.api.newsTitle
        self.descritpionItems = self.api.newsDescription
        self.tableView!.reloadData()
    } else {
        println("API failed :-(")
        println(error)
        // here
    }
}
