Hi! I’m new to developing with Twitter and iOS. I’ve been trying for some time to figure out how to use the TWTRTweetViewDelegate protocol with a TWTRTimelineViewController. Here is a minimal example that I would expect to work, but unfortunately does not. Any clues? I think I’m close.
class ViewController: UIViewController, TWTRTweetViewDelegate {
// Define the delegate
weak var delegate: TWTRTweetViewDelegate?
// Function implementing one of the delegate protocols (DOES NOT WORK!)
func tweetView(tweetView: TWTRTweetView!, didSelectTweet tweet: TWTRTweet!){
// If the delegate protocol works, we would print the following message
print("Worked!")
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Add a button to the center of the view to show the timeline (not related to the delegate)
let button = UIButton(type: .System)
button.setTitle("Get User Data", forState: .Normal)
button.sizeToFit()
button.center = view.center
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(showTimeline), forControlEvents: [.TouchUpInside])
view.addSubview(button)
}
func showTimeline() {
// Create an API client and data source to fetch Tweets for the timeline
let client = TWTRAPIClient()
// Create the datasource
let dataSource = TWTRCollectionTimelineDataSource(collectionID: "576828964162965504", APIClient: client)
// Create the timeline view controller
let timelineViewController = TWTRTimelineViewController(dataSource: dataSource)
// Assign the delegate to the view controller
timelineViewController.tweetViewDelegate = delegate
...
}
Yet, tweetView:didSelectTweet does not get called when tapping on a tweet in the collection. Any help would be appreciated.
