Question

Well, in my application there is textfield, which contains some date. Textfield is not editable for user, but it calling for popover with calendar (Tapku Calendar, BTW). I need to paste selected date in calendar into this textfield. I’v trying this code, but it didn’t working for me.

Code in Calendar_Popover_Controller.m:

// grab (NSString*)Date from calendar and sending it to ChekIn field
- (void)calendarMonthView:(TKCalendarMonthView *)monthView didSelectDate:(NSDate *)d {

NSDate *calendarSelectedDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];
/* Here is formattedDate */

calendarSelectedDate = [calendar dateSelected];
DateForMainView = [formattedDate stringFromDate:calendarSelectedDate];

ViewController *submittedDateToMainView = [[ViewController alloc] init];
submittedDateToMainView.CheckInField.text = [formattedDate stringFromDate:calendarSelectedDate];
}

Also I’ve check other variant. It seems like this:

Calendar_Popover_Controller.m

- (void)calendarMonthView:(TKCalendarMonthView *)monthView didSelectDate:(NSDate *)d {

NSDate *calendarSelectedDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];;
/* formattedDate */

calendarSelectedDate = [calendar dateSelected];
DateForMainView = [formattedDate stringFromDate:calendarSelectedDate];
ViewController *submittedDateToMainView = [[ViewController alloc] init];
submittedDateToMainView.DateFromCalendar = DateForMainView;
}

Code in ViewController.m:

- (BOOL)popoverControllerShouldDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController {
[CheckInField setText:DateFromCalendar];

NSLog(@"For CheckIn TextField DateFromCalendar is: %@", DateFromCalendar);
NSLog(@"popover about to be dismissed");
return YES;
}

Here DateFromCalendar == nil anyway. I have no idea to solve this problem.

Answer 1

The ViewController you are using in the calendarMonthView:didSelectDate: method is not the one showing on the screen, because you initialize a new one when doing

ViewController *submittedDateToMainView = [[ViewController alloc] init];

You need to keep a reference to your existing ViewController in your Calendar_Popover_Controller and set the DateFromCalendar on that one.
