Hey all.
I initialized a class in my singleton called DataModel. Now, from my UIViewController, when I click a button, I have a method that is trying to access that class so that I may add an object to one of its dictionaries. My get/set method passes back the pointer to the class from my singleton, but when I am back in my UIViewController, the class passed back doesn't respond to methods. It's like it's just not there. I think it has something to do with the difference in passing pointers around classes or something. I even tried using the copy method to throw a copy back, but no luck.
UIViewController:
ApplicationSingleton *applicationSingleton = [[ApplicationSingleton alloc] init];
DataModel *dataModel = [applicationSingleton getDataModel];
[dataModel retrieveDataCategory:dataCategory];
Singleton:
ApplicationSingleton *m_instance;
DataModel *m_dataModel;
- (id) init {
NSLog(@"ApplicationSingleton.m initialized.");
self = [super init];
if(self != nil) {
if(m_instance != nil) {
return m_instance;
}
NSLog(@"Initializing the application singleton.");
m_instance = self;
m_dataModel = [[DataModel alloc] init];
}
NSLog(@"ApplicationSingleton init method returning.");
return m_instance;
}
-(DataModel *)getDataModel {
DataModel *dataModel_COPY = [m_dataModel copy];
return dataModel_COPY;
}
For the getDataModel method, I also tried this:
-(DataModel *)getDataModel {
return m_dataModel;
}
In my DataModel retrieveDataCategory method, I couldn't get anything to work. I even just tried putting a NSLog in there but it never would come onto the console.
Any ideas?
