在我看来，为委托方法创建单独的类，你可以在任何地方使用。

在我的自定义下拉列表类。h

typedef enum
{
 DDSTATE,
 DDCITY
}DropDownType;

@protocol DropDownListDelegate <NSObject>
@required
- (void)dropDownDidSelectItemWithString:(NSString*)itemString     DropDownType:(DropDownType)dropDownType;
@end
@interface DropDownViewController : UIViewController
{
 BOOL isFiltered;
}
@property (nonatomic, assign) DropDownType dropDownType;
@property (weak) id <DropDownListDelegate> delegate;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *array1DropDown;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *array2DropDown;

然后进去。M文件创建对象数组

 - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
CGFloat rowHeight = 44.0f;
return rowHeight;
}

-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return isFiltered?[self.array1DropDown count]:[self.array2DropDown count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = @"TableCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
}

if (self.delegate) {
    if (self.dropDownType == DDCITY) {
        cell.textLabel.text = [self.array1DropDown objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    }
    else if (self.dropDownType == DDSTATE) {
        cell.textLabel.text = [self.array2DropDown objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    }
}
return cell;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
 [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
    if(self.delegate){
        if(self.dropDownType == DDCITY){
            [self.delegate dropDownDidSelectItemWithString:[self.array1DropDown objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] DropDownType:self.dropDownType];
        }
        else if (self.dropDownType == DDSTATE) {
            [self.delegate dropDownDidSelectItemWithString:[self.array2DropDown objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] DropDownType:self.dropDownType];
        }
    }
}];
}

这里所有的都设置为自定义委托类。之后你可以在任何你想要的地方使用这个委派方法。例如……

在之后的另一个视图控制器导入中

像这样创建调用委托方法的动作

- (IBAction)dropDownBtn1Action:(id)sender {
DropDownViewController *vehicleModelDropView = [[DropDownViewController alloc]init];
vehicleModelDropView.dropDownType = DDCITY;
vehicleModelDropView.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:vehicleModelDropView animated:YES completion:nil];
}

之后像这样调用委托方法

- (void)dropDownDidSelectItemWithString:(NSString *)itemString DropDownType:(DropDownType)dropDownType {
switch (dropDownType) {
    case DDCITY:{
        if(itemString.length > 0){
            //Here i am printing the selected row
            [self.dropDownBtn1 setTitle:itemString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        }
    }
        break;
    case DDSTATE: {
        //Here i am printing the selected row
        [self.dropDownBtn2 setTitle:itemString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    }

    default:
        break;
}
}

我认为一旦你理解了委托，所有这些答案都很有意义。就我个人而言，我来自C/ c++的土地，在此之前，像Fortran等过程语言，所以这里是我在c++范式中寻找类似类似物的2分钟。

如果我要向c++ /Java程序员解释委托，我会说

什么是委托? 这些是指向另一个类中的类的静态指针。一旦你分配了一个指针，你就可以调用该类中的函数/方法。因此，类的一些函数被“委托”(在c++中，由类对象指针指向的指针)给另一个类。

什么是协议? 从概念上讲，它的作用与你作为委托类分配的类的头文件类似。协议是一种显式的方式，用于定义在类中需要实现哪些方法，而该类的指针被设置为类中的委托。

How can I do something similar in C++? If you tried to do this in C++, you would by defining pointers to classes (objects) in the class definition and then wiring them up to other classes that will provide additional functions as delegates to your base class. But this wiring needs to be maitained within the code and will be clumsy and error prone. Objective C just assumes that programmers are not best at maintaining this decipline and provides compiler restrictions to enforce a clean implementation.

下面是一个创建委托的简单方法

在.h文件中创建协议。确保它是在协议之前定义的，使用@class后面跟着UIViewController的名字，因为我要使用的协议是UIViewController类>。

步骤:1:创建一个名为“YourViewController”的新类Protocol，它将是UIViewController类的子类，并将这个类分配给第二个ViewController。

步骤2:转到“YourViewController”文件，并如下所示修改它:

#import <UIKit/UIkit.h>
@class YourViewController;

@protocol YourViewController Delegate <NSObject>

 @optional
-(void)defineDelegateMethodName: (YourViewController *) controller;

@required
-(BOOL)delegateMethodReturningBool: (YourViewController *) controller;

  @end
  @interface YourViewController : UIViewController

  //Since the property for the protocol could be of any class, then it will be marked as a type of id.

  @property (nonatomic, weak) id< YourViewController Delegate> delegate;

@end

协议行为中定义的方法可以用@optional和@required作为协议定义的一部分进行控制。

步骤3: 委托的实现

    #import "delegate.h"

   @interface YourDelegateUser ()
     <YourViewControllerDelegate>
   @end

   @implementation YourDelegateUser

   - (void) variousFoo {
      YourViewController *controller = [[YourViewController alloc] init];
      controller.delegate = self;
   }

   -(void)defineDelegateMethodName: (YourViewController *) controller {
      // handle the delegate being called here
   }

   -(BOOL)delegateMethodReturningBool: (YourViewController *) controller {
      // handle the delegate being called here
      return YES;
   }

   @end

//在调用该方法之前测试该方法是否已经定义

 - (void) someMethodToCallDelegate {
     if ([[self delegate] respondsToSelector:@selector(defineDelegateMethodName:)]) {
           [self.delegate delegateMethodName:self]; 
     }
  }

斯威夫特版本

委托只是一个为另一个类做一些工作的类。阅读下面的代码，这是一个有点傻(但希望有启发性)的Playground示例，它展示了如何在Swift中实现这一点。

// A protocol is just a list of methods (and/or properties) that must
// be used by any class that adopts the protocol.
protocol OlderSiblingDelegate: class {
    // This protocol only defines one required method
    func getYourNiceOlderSiblingAGlassOfWater() -> String
}

class BossyBigBrother {
    
    // The delegate is the BossyBigBrother's slave. This position can 
    // be assigned later to whoever is available (and conforms to the 
    // protocol).
    weak var delegate: OlderSiblingDelegate?
    
    func tellSomebodyToGetMeSomeWater() -> String? {
        // The delegate is optional because there might not be anyone
        // nearby to boss around.
        return delegate?.getYourNiceOlderSiblingAGlassOfWater()
    }
}

// PoorLittleSister conforms to the OlderSiblingDelegate protocol
class PoorLittleSister: OlderSiblingDelegate {

    // This method is repquired by the protocol, but the protocol said
    // nothing about how it needs to be implemented.
    func getYourNiceOlderSiblingAGlassOfWater() -> String {
        return "Go get it yourself!"
    }
    
}

// initialize the classes
let bigBro = BossyBigBrother()
let lilSis = PoorLittleSister()

// Set the delegate 
// bigBro could boss around anyone who conforms to the 
// OlderSiblingDelegate protocol, but since lilSis is here, 
// she is the unlucky choice.
bigBro.delegate = lilSis

// Because the delegate is set, there is a class to do bigBro's work for him.
// bigBro tells lilSis to get him some water.
if let replyFromLilSis = bigBro.tellSomebodyToGetMeSomeWater() {
    print(replyFromLilSis) // "Go get it yourself!"
}

在实际实践中，委托通常用于以下情况

当一个类需要向另一个类传递一些信息时 当一个类希望允许另一个类自定义它时

类之间不需要事先知道彼此的任何信息，除非委托类符合所需的协议。

我强烈推荐阅读以下两篇文章。它们甚至比文档更能帮助我理解委托。

什么是委托?-快速开发人员指南 委托如何工作-一个快速的开发者指南

当使用形式化协议方法来创建委托支持时，我发现你可以通过添加以下内容来确保正确的类型检查(尽管是运行时，而不是编译时):

if (![delegate conformsToProtocol:@protocol(MyDelegate)]) {
    [NSException raise:@"MyDelegate Exception"
                format:@"Parameter does not conform to MyDelegate protocol at line %d", (int)__LINE__];
}

在你的委托访问器(setDelegate)代码中。这有助于减少错误。
