How To Use UILocalNotification In Swift

Question

I am trying to figure out how to setup a UILocalNotification in swift but I am not having a lot of luck. I am trying this:

var notification = UILocalNotification         


        

Answer 1

First, you construct an NSDate using initializer syntax:

let dateTime = NSDate()

The documentation shows how ObjC convenience constructors map to Swift initializers. If the docs show an init() for a class, you call it using the name of the class: for NSDate, init() means you call NSDate(), init(timeInterval:sinceDate:) means you call NSDate(timeInterval: x, sinceDate: y), etc.

Second: fireDate isn't a method, it's a property. You should assign to it instead of trying to call it:

notification.fireDate = dateTime

Ditto for alertBody.

You can also find the Swift syntax for Cocoa APIs by command-clicking a class name (or other API symbol) in your Swift source file; this causes Xcode to generate a "Swift-ified" version of the relevant header file.
