POiPad iPhone: Calling Webview from anther View Controller class
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm new to this as I come from C++ and Perl background. Trying to learn from books but they are missing some core concepts of Objective-C. I need some help on this code to pull a webpage:</p> <p><strong>RootViewController.m</strong></p> <pre><code> - (void)fetchWebsite:(NSString*)website{ NSLog(@"address: %@", website); NSString *urlAddress = website; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress]; NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; [webImageDisplay loadRequest:requestObj]; [webImageDisplay release]; } - (void)viewDidLoad { [self fetchWebsite:@"website here"]; [super viewDidLoad]; } </code></pre> <p>This code works just fine but what I'm having trouble is calling this method from another class, like the code below:</p> <p>I'm correctly calling the detail view controller from a 2nd view controller like this:</p> <p><strong>SubViewController.m</strong></p> <pre><code>- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { // Navigation logic may go here. Create and push another view controller. switch (indexPath.row) { case 0: { AnotherViewController *cViewController = [[AnotherViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"AnotherViewController" bundle:nil]; cController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(320, 350); [self.navigationController pushViewController:cViewController animated:YES]; [cViewController release]; break; } case 1: { break; } } } </code></pre> <p>Then I have a 3rd view controller that has the links to a new webpage which I want displayed on the webview. When I call the method here to access the function in RootViewController, it doesn't seem to respond.</p> <p><strong>AnotherViewController.m</strong></p> <pre><code>- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { NSString *itemRequested = [conusItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; NSLog(@"logging: %@", itemRequested); RootViewController *parent = [[RootViewController alloc] init]; [parent fetchWebsite:@"another website here"]; [itemRequested release]; } </code></pre> <p>I click on the button on the table view and I see the code is being called in the RootViewController with the NSLog but it doesn't seem to display the new page. No errors or warnings, Any ideas? Thanks </p>
