I have these two properties defined in my appDelegate:
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIView * mainView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) MyCustomClass * customObj
What is the best way of adding subviews to mainView from code inside customObj?
I am not providing any sample code because (a) my code is terrible and (b) I just want to understand the best approach of doing this, so I can learn from this in the future, rather than having one solution to one specific problem.
Many thanks.
well, what about creating a method in MyCustomClass like this:
-(void)addSubViewToView:(UIView *)view
{
[view addSubview:otherView];
}
And then call it like this:
[customObj addSubViewToView:mainView];
It depends on what kind of class MyCustomClass is. Is it responsible for building mainView's view hierarchy? Then I'd inject a reference of mainView to customObj, like this:
customObj = [[MyCustomClass alloc] initWithView:mainView];
In this scenario, customObj would be some kind of builder object, that creates the view hierarchy inside mainView. Then I'd use the addSubView: selector inside MyCustomClass:
-(id)initWithView:(UIView*)view{
if(self = [super init]){
[view addSubView: ...];
[view addSubView: ...];
[view addSubView: ...];
}
}
