Help Brian, Help!! haha

Hi Brian , I am a little confused ,why do we access the "keyWindow" of our app and create a UIView using xib and show that UIView(PlayerDetailsView) on top of the "keyWindow" instead of just creating a "UIViewController" in xib and use the "present" method from "didSelectRowAt" function to go to that view controller we create?

Hi Brian, Tell me something, I still get a bit puzzled when it comes to decide where to put my components, either on an UIView or UIViewControler...And how to stack it on the Windows Views hierarchy, either using PushViewController and Pop or PresentViewController and Dismiss!! Which criteria should we consider to pick the right technique? For instance, on the episode 13 on the Podcast course where you build the PlayerDetailsView, you decided to use a UIView through XIB file instead of a UIViewController and present it via the "addSubview" on the window and then you added a .swift file to control and access it's properties...why? Couldn't you push or present it the PlayerDetailsView from the EpisodesController? Please help me to have a solid, clear understanding of these concepts so I can mae the right decision everytime I have to create a View to present something according to the context. Thanks in advance.

Hey Brian, I'm not sure if you go into this in a later video but instead of the dismiss button I added a swipe gesture recognizer to dismiss the view. Most of the videos/tutorials I've seen showing how to accomplish this used a view controller. Pretty cool framework out there called Hero which does this but with view controllers. I've seen the comments below, but was wondering if maybe in bonus content or a separate youtube video you can show some cool animations that show a view being dismissed from a swipe gesture?

Hi Brian, why we don't need to import SDWebImage before using sd_setImage? I remember we import that at both PodcastCell.swift & EpisodeCell.swift

Works for me let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter {$0.isKeyWindow}.first let playerDetailsView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("PlayerDetails", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! PlayerDetailsView playerDetailsView.episode = episode playerDetailsView.frame = self.view.frame window?.addSubview(playerDetailsView) }

After changing the description on Episode model, I am still getting HTML tag
