Using protocol to trigger a segue from a UIView inside a UIViewcontroller - objective-c

Question

CONFIGURATION:
-UIviewController embedded in Navigationcontroller.
-UIviewController has a UIscrollview as subview
-UIscrollview has some views where charts are created: each view containing a chart has its own .h and .m file and from this file I want trigger a segue to a tableview controller.
-A Tableviewcontroller was added in xcode and a segue from the UIviewController to the TableViewcontroller was created as well (Xcode)
-created a protocol in the UIView to have the segue pushed from there.
PROBLEM:
delegate always nil, segue method will never be called
UIVIEW .h file
#protocol UItoUIvcDelegate <NSObject>
-(void)triggerSegue;
#end
#interface CFfirstGraph : UIView <CPTPlotDataSource , CPTPieChartDelegate,UIActionSheetDelegate>
#property(weak, nonatomic) id <UItoUIvcDelegate> delegate;
#end
UIVIEW .m file (snippet)
-(void)pieChart:(CPTPieChart *)pieChart sliceWasSelectedAtRecordIndex:(NSUInteger)index
{
if (self.delegate == nil)
{
NSLog(#"nil");
}
[self.delegate triggerSegue];
}
UIVIEWCONTROLLER .h file
#import "CFfirstGraph.h"
#interface CFMainViewController : UIViewController <UItoUIvcDelegate, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
#end
UIVIEWCONTROLLER .m file (snippet)
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 1000);
[self.view addSubview:self.scrollView];
CFfirstGraph *click =[[CFfirstGraph alloc]init];
click.delegate = self ;
}
-(void)triggerSegue
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"detailedData" sender:self];
NSLog(#"estoy aqui");
}
What am I doing wrong ? why the delegate is always nil ? I tried to add the method setDelegate but still no luck.
Thanks,

Answer 1

Make CFfirstGraph as a strong property.
#property (strong, nonatomic) CFfirstGraph * click;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.click =[[CFfirstGraph alloc]init];
self.click.delegate = self ;
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 1000);
[self.view addSubview:self.scrollView];
}

Answer 2

ok, after many hours of sweat I found the issue.
First...delegate = nil was not the main problem.
The real issue was the protocol method triggering the segue was never called.
If i create and initialize a CFfirstGraph object (or even property) it won't be related to the view created already in x-code, and this is the main issue.
On the other hand...if I "CTRL-drag" an outlet from the UIview to the CFMainViewController i will have a property that is exactly the one i need:
#interface CFMainViewController () <UIScrollViewDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet CFfirstGraph *FirstGraph;
Then i assign the delegate to self (CFMainViewController) in the viewDidLoad:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.FirstGraph.delegate = self ;
}
and the delegate method "triggerSegue" will be executed being called from the UIVIEW.
