Swift: How to access in AppDelegate variable from the View controller?
Your question is full of confusion but if that's what you are looking for:
You can access the appDelegate by getting a reference to it like that:
let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
after that if you have store a property called lastPoint in your appDelegate you can access its components very simply like that:
let x = appDelegate.lastPoint.xlet y = appDelegate.lastPoint.y
If you need to access your viewController properties from the AppDelegate, then I suggest having a reference to your view controller in your appdelegate:
var myViewController: ViewController!
then when your view controller is created you can store a reference to it in the appdelegate property:
If your create your view controller outside of your appDelegate:
Swift 1-2 syntax
var theViewController = ViewController()let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegateappDelegate.myViewController = theViewController
Swift 3-4 syntax
var theViewController = ViewController()let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegateappDelegate.myViewController = theViewController
If you create your view controller inside of your appDelegate:
self.myViewController = ViewController()
After that you can access your data from your viewcontroller from your appdelegate just by accessing its property like that:
let x = self.myViewController.lastPoint.xlet y = self.myViewController.lastPoint.y
Swift 3 Update
var theViewController = ViewController() let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate appDelegate.myViewController = theViewController
You can create a BaseViewController and write this
class BaseViewController { lazy var appDelegate : AppDelegate { return UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate }}
and inherit other viewcontrollers with BaseViewController and access this by
class ViewController : BaseViewController {override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() print(self.appDelegate?.lastPoint.x) print(self.appDelegate?.lastPoint.x)}}
