}
Long Press Method for table view cell :
#objc func longpress(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
if sender.state == UIGestureRecognizer.State.began {
let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tbMain)
if tbMain.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) != nil {
let cell = tbMain.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "testCell") as! NewContactCell
print("Long press Pressed:)")
self.actionVC = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ActionsViewController") as? ActionsViewController
UIView.transition(with: self.view, duration: 0.25, options: [.transitionCrossDissolve], animations: {
self.view.addSubview( self.actionVC.view)
}, completion: nil)
}
}
}
VC 2 :
internal var strPhoneNUmber : String!
internal var strEmail : String!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
print("Phone: \(strPhoneNUmber!)")
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

Answer 1

Get phone number and email from cell object
self.actionVC.strPhoneNUmber = cell.strPhoneNUmber // get phone number from cell object
self.actionVC. strEmail = cell.strEmail // get email from cell object
code would be like
#objc func longpress(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
if sender.state == UIGestureRecognizer.State.began {
let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tbMain)
if tbMain.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) != nil {
let cell = tbMain.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "testCell") as! NewContactCell
print("Long press Pressed:)")
self.actionVC = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ActionsViewController") as? ActionsViewController
**self.actionVC.strPhoneNUmber = cell.strPhoneNUmber // get phone number from cell object
self.actionVC. strEmail = cell.strEmail // get email from cell object**
UIView.transition(with: self.view, duration: 0.25, options: [.transitionCrossDissolve], animations: {
self.view.addSubview( self.actionVC.view)
}, completion: nil)
}
}
}

I don't see when your trying to pass the data.. you have quite a few way to perform that action first you can use delegation to achieve passing the data
protocol YourDelegate : class {
func passData(phoneNumber: String, email: String)
}
weak var delegate: YourDelegate?
#objc func longpress(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
if sender.state == UIGestureRecognizer.State.began {
let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tbMain)
if tbMain.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) != nil {
let cell = tbMain.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "testCell") as! NewContactCell
print("Long press Pressed:)")
self.actionVC = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ActionsViewController") as? ActionsViewController
self.delegate = self
**delegate?.passData(cell.strPhoneNumber, cell.strEmail)**
UIView.transition(with: self.view, duration: 0.25, options: [.transitionCrossDissolve], animations: {
self.view.addSubview( self.actionVC.view)
}, completion: nil)
}
}
}
class ???: UIViewController, YourDelegate {
var strPhoneNUmber : String!
var strEmail : String!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
print("Phone: \(strPhoneNUmber!)")
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
func passData(phoneNumber: String, email: String) {
handle...
}
}
its not clear to me if the actionVC is the one you want to pass the data to but if so you have an instance.. just set the properties but ill still recommend sticking with the delegation pattern
actionVC.strPhoneNumber = cell.strPhoneNumber
or use a segue
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "yourIdentifier", sender: arr[indexPath.row])
use prepare for segue to create an instance to set his properties according to the sender..
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let destvc = segue.destination as? YourClass
destvc.phoneNumber = sender.phoneNumber as? String
destvc.email = sender.email as? String
}
