Error in conforming to a protocol defined in Objective from swift code

Question

I have the following header for ReaderViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

#import "ReaderDocument.h"

@class ReaderViewController;

@protocol ReaderViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>

@optional // Delegate protocols

- (void)dismissReaderViewController:(ReaderViewController *)viewController;

@end

@interface ReaderViewController : UIViewController

@property (nonatomic, weak, readwrite) id <ReaderViewControllerDelegate> delegate;

- (instancetype)initWithReaderDocument:(ReaderDocument *)object;

@end

In a swift file

  class DetailTableViewController: UITableViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {


override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    // Get the row data for the selected row
    var phrase: String = "" ;

    var document:ReaderDocument? = ReaderDocument(filePath: "/Users/Krishna/Development/XXXX/Reader.pdf", password: phrase);
    if(document != nil){
        var readerViewController:ReaderViewController  = ReaderViewController(readerDocument: document)
        readerViewController.delegate = self ;
        readerViewController.modalTransitionStyle = .CrossDissolve;
        readerViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .FullScreen;
        self.presentViewController(readerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

func dismissReaderViewController(viewController: ReaderViewController) {

    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}


}

For the line readerViewController.delegate = self ; Xcode throws a compile time exception that

Type 'DetailTableViewController' does not conform to protocol 'ReaderViewControllerDelegate' . I tried looking for solutions for other similar posts and couldn't figure out the issue. Any help is appreciated as I am new developer in iOS platform!

Simply add ReaderViewControllerDelegate to the first line in your DetailTableViewController, as this tells the compiler, that this class conforms to the particular delegate protocol.

class DetailTableViewController: UITableViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, ReaderViewControllerDelegate
