I'm trying to add a shortcut item to my app. I have the item appearing, and it's responding but can't work out how to get the segue to work. I have it going to the right tab but need to go to the root view and perform a segue from there.
The segue is already setup on the ProjectList view controller and its called "addProject"
My view storyboard is setup as so:
UITabViewController -> UINavigationController-> UITableViewController (ProjectList) -> Other additional views
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
if let shortcutItem = shortcutItemToProcess {
if shortcutItem.type == "addProject" {
if let window = self.window, let tabBar : UITabBarController = window.rootViewController as? UITabBarController {
tabBar.selectedIndex = 0
}
}
shortcutItemToProcess = nil
}
}
Solved with
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
if let shortcutItem = shortcutItemToProcess {
if shortcutItem.type == "addProject" {
guard let window = self.window else { return }
guard let tabBar = window.rootViewController as? UITabBarController else { return }
guard let navCon = tabBar.viewControllers?[0] as? UINavigationController else { return }
guard let projectList = navCon.rootViewController as? ProjectList else { return }
projectList.performSegue(withIdentifier: "addProject", sender: nil)
tabBar.selectedIndex = 0
}
shortcutItemToProcess = nil
}
}

i want to get topMostVC so i did this function:
func topMostViewController() -> UIViewController {
if let presented = self.presentedViewController {
return presented.topMostViewController()
}
if let navigation = self as? UINavigationController {
return navigation.visibleViewController?.topMostViewController() ?? navigation
}
if let tab = self as? UITabBarController {
return tab.selectedViewController?.topMostViewController() ?? tab
}
return self
}
Then called using:
AppDelegate.shared.window?.rootViewController?.topMostViewController()
But i have problem is when UIAlertController is showing in screen, it's return UIAlertController, not my expect viewcontroller
Can anyone tech me how to avoid UIAlertController, thanks
Just add one more condition
if let presented = self.presentedViewController,
!(presented is UIAlertController) { // <== Here or use !presented.isKind(of: UIAlertController.self)
return presented.topMostViewController()
}
I have some problems displaying a viewcontroller in my IOS app.
Sometimes it works and the view is displayed, but sometimes and I guess when the context is a bit different it will not work. No errors or warnings in the debugger and it can find the ViewController from the Main storyboard (at least it is not nil)
It use to work with self.present but that seems not to work anymore.
#IBAction func showHistoryButton(_ sender: MDCButton) {
let exercisesHistoryVC = ExercisesHistoryViewController.instantiate(from: .Main)
exercisesHistoryVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
let appDeligate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
appDeligate.window?.rootViewController!.present(exercisesHistoryVC,animated: true,completion: nil)
// parent?.present(exercisesHistoryVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Use the code like below,while Present New View Controller
#IBAction func showHistoryButton(_ sender: MDCButton) {
let exercisesHistoryVC = ExercisesHistoryViewController.instantiate(from: .Main)
exercisesHistoryVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
UIApplication.topViewController()?.present(exercisesHistoryVC, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
extension UIApplication {
static func topViewController(base: UIViewController? = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window??.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {
if let nav = base as? UINavigationController {
return topViewController(base: nav.visibleViewController)
}
if let tab = base as? UITabBarController, let selected = tab.selectedViewController {
return topViewController(base: selected)
}
if let presented = base?.presentedViewController {
return topViewController(base: presented)
}
return base
}
}
I have a collection view with some cells representing a contact (their data has a phone number and name) and I am trying to add the contact to the iPhone contacts. I have created a segue from a button called "add contact" that is inside the CollectionViewCell to a navigation controller, and set its identifier as "ADD_CONTACT".
In the storyboard, my segue has a navigation controller with no root view controller.
in prepareToSegue of the view controller that delegates my UICollectionView I wrote this code:
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == ADD_CONTACT {
let dest = segue.destination as! UINavigationController
if let cell = sender as? SBInstructionCell {
if cell.isContact {
let newContact = CNMutableContact()
if let phone = cell.instructionBean?.contactAttachment?.phoneNumber{
newContact.phoneNumbers.append(CNLabeledValue(label: "home", value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: phone)))
}
if let name = cell.instructionBean?.contactAttachment?.contactName {
newContact.givenName.append(name)
}
let contactVC = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: newContact)
contactVC.contactStore = CNContactStore()
contactVC.delegate = self
dest.setViewControllers([contactVC], animated: false)
}
}
}
}
this results with a black screen.
How can this be fixed? I want to see the CNContactViewController
Eventually I solved this in a different approach using Closures.
In my UICollectionViewCell
I added this var:
var closureForContact: (()->())? = nil
Now on my button's action in the same cell I have this func:
#IBAction func addContactTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
if closureForContact != nil{
closureForContact!()
}
}
Which calls the function.
In my CollectionView in cell for item at index path, I set the closure like this:
cell.closureForContact = {
if cell.isContact {
let newContact = CNMutableContact()
if let phone = cell.instructionBean?.contactAttachment?.phoneNumber{
newContact.phoneNumbers.append(CNLabeledValue(label: "home", value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: phone)))
}
if let name = cell.instructionBean?.contactAttachment?.contactName {
newContact.givenName.append(name)
}
let contactVC = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: newContact)
contactVC.contactStore = CNContactStore()
contactVC.delegate = self
contactVC.allowsEditing = true
contactVC.allowsActions = true
if let nav = self.navigationController {
nav.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
nav.pushViewController(contactVC, animated: true)
}
}
}
This worked perfectly. I learned that for navigating from a cell, it is best to use closures.
I am having a little issue with logging into an app the first time with a blank screen and I am getting the warning "Attempt to present on whose view is not in the window hierarchy!" After I close and relaunch, the views appear fine. I believe it has something to do with the rootViewController but not sure... Thanks in advance for any help or direction!

Ok, so my last answer was wrong (i deleted it), the things is that in app there is a keywindow, which is your navcontroller, and you cannot present anything on this one untill it will load its subviews (even if it hasn't any), and that would happend on viewdidappear, so you should put your code from viewdidload there.
I want to implement a separate ErrorHandler class, which displays error messages on certain events. The behavior of this class should be called from different other classes.
When an error occurs, it will have an UIAlertView as output.
The display of this AlertView should ALWAYS be on top. So no matter from where the Error gets thrown, the topmost viewController should display the AlertMessage (e.g. when an asynchronous background process fails, I want an error message, no matter what View is displayed in the foreground).
I have found several gists which seem to solve my problem (see the code below).
But calling UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.visibleViewController() does return a nil-value.
Extension from gist
extension UIWindow {
func visibleViewController() -> UIViewController? {
if let rootViewController: UIViewController = self.rootViewController {
return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(rootViewController)
}
return nil
}
class func getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc:UIViewController) -> UIViewController {
if vc.isKindOfClass(UINavigationController.self) {
let navigationController = vc as! UINavigationController
return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom( navigationController.visibleViewController)
} else if vc.isKindOfClass(UITabBarController.self) {
let tabBarController = vc as! UITabBarController
return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(tabBarController.selectedViewController!)
} else {
if let presentedViewController = vc.presentedViewController {
return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(presentedViewController.presentedViewController!)
} else {
return vc;
}
}
}
}
Amit89 brought a way to a solution up. You have to call the .windowproperty of the AppDelegate.
So I changed the Swift code from the link below to work as intended to find the topmost ViewController. Make sure, that the view is already in the view hierarchy. So this method cannot be called from a .viewDidLoad
Extension to find the topmost ViewController*
extension UIApplication {
class func topViewController(base: UIViewController? = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).window?.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {
if let nav = base as? UINavigationController {
return topViewController(base: nav.visibleViewController)
}
if let tab = base as? UITabBarController {
if let selected = tab.selectedViewController {
return topViewController(base: selected)
}
}
if let presented = base?.presentedViewController {
return topViewController(base: presented)
}
return base
}
}
This code originated from GitHub user Yonat in a comment to an objectiveC equivalent. I only changed the bits of code to get it to work without the .keyWindow property
Did you try this from the same link?
let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! MYAppDelegate//Your app delegate class name.
extension UIApplication {
class func topViewController(base: UIViewController? = appDelegate.window!.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {
if let nav = base as? UINavigationController {
return topViewController(base: nav.visibleViewController)
}
if let tab = base as? UITabBarController {
if let selected = tab.selectedViewController {
return topViewController(base: selected)
}
}
if let presented = base?.presentedViewController {
return topViewController(base: presented)
}
return base
}
}
