How to call a method through the object created by interface in Objective-C
I need to call a method through the object created by the interface ie
id<MyProtocol>obj;
Now i have created this obj in my main class where i am not implementing the methods of this protocol but i need to access the method which is already implemented in someother class.I am now calling the method as follows
[obj load];
in my main class in the applicationDidFinishLaunching, but i not able to access the method? Pls do sugges开发者_运维知识库t me the correct way of calling the methods through protocols...
A protocol implements nothing. It only describes a set of messages that the object should respond to. Your obj
object belongs to some class. This class needs to implement methods described in MyProtocol
.
Edit
A protocol is not implemented by a specific class. Any class that claims to conform to a protocol must implement its methods. Any object that claims to conform to a protocol must belong to a class that implements its methods.
In your case, obj
is a ClassB
, so ClassB
must implement methods described by MyProtocol
, either directly or through inheritance.
[obj load]
is OK. If you want to shut up the compiler you can cast it to id
:
[(id)obj load];
But if you know you'll need to call the -load
method, maybe you should add the -load
method to the protocol, or make another protocol that has the -load
method e.g.
@protocol Loadable
-(void)load;
@end
...
id<MyProtocol, Loadable> obj;
