My Scenario, I have three ViewControllers, those ViewControllers First, Second, Third. Here, First ViewController UIButton click to present model second ViewController and then Second ViewController UIButton click to present model Third ViewController. I need to Implement the Second ViewController button click to dismiss current ViewController after presenting Third ViewController because once I close Third ViewController I need to show First ViewController. How to Achieve this?
NOTE: I am having NavigationController for Third ViewController also I am using Storyboard.
Here's my code:
#IBAction func ClickThirdVC(_ sender: Any) {
if let VC_Third = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "thirdviewcontroller") as? ThirdvViewController {
weak var pvc = self.presentingViewController
VC_B.modalTransitionStyle = .crossDissolve
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: VC_B)
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
pvc?.present(navController, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
}
}
You can try to dismiss self after presenting the third UIViewController, in the completion handler of the present function .
secondVC?.present(navController, animated: true) {
self.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil) //dismiss self after presenting the third.
}
I have a controller which is in the Main storyboard. When I click on a button, I call the displayBorneDetailsAction() action, it presents a modal view from another storyboard.
I would add a Segue identifier when I present my modal to pass data from my main view controller to my modal view controller (with prepareForSegue), but I don't know how to do it.
I tried to use performSegue(withIdentifier:), but it doesn't present the modal in the same way.
#IBAction func displayBorneDetailsAction(_ sender: Any) {
// open the modal of a borne
let storyboard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Borne", bundle: nil)
let vc: BorneVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "BorneVC") as! BorneVC
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overFullScreen
navigationController.edgesForExtendedLayout = []
self.present(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
You cannot add an identifier to a programmatical segue, since you are able to access the instance of the controller that is being presented. Simply do anything you want with the controller in the function where you present it.
I did FoodTracker programmatically and here is the code that doesn't work for me.
func cancel(){
let isPresentingInAddMealMode = presentingViewController is UINavigationController
if isPresentingInAddMealMode {
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else if let owningNavigationController = navigationController {
owningNavigationController.popViewController(animated: true)
}
else {
fatalError("The MealViewController is not inside a navigation controller.")
}
}
Here is how it looks in the storyboard:
Actually it works modally when the plus button is pressed but it doesn't work with popviewcontroller. I pushed it in the navigation stack with didSelectRow in tableViewController.
I have two main VC that are in a tab bar controller. On the first VC when you tap a button you are taken to another VC (not the 2nd tab bar VC) and when you tap the finish button I want to go to the 2nd tab bar vc.
Normally I would just perform segue ... but when I do that it removes the tab bar at the bottom. So, I am now just dismissing and going back to the original VC, but I would really like to go to the 2nd tab bar vc so I tried this
dismiss(animated: true) {
self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 2
}
I saw the self.tabBar... on another SO post, but I can't seem to find where I set the Index...ive tried 1 in case it just automatically starts from 0, and Ive tried 2 in case it starts from 1
Am I close or is there a better way of achieving what I want?
Summary
To summarize clearly. I have 3 View Controllers. 1 and 3 are in a Tab Bar Controller. VC 2 is NOT in the TBC. To get to VC 2 there is a button on VC 1. When the user is finished on VC 2 he/she taps a button. Instead of just dismissing back to VC 1 I want to go to VC 3, but when I perform segue it goes to VC 3 but removes the Tab Bar
Make sure you have a UINavigationController as the first ViewController. Then you have access to the tabBarController and can then switch the tabs:
// if vc was pushed
#IBAction func onFinish(_ sender: Any) {
// store tabBarController for later use
let tabBarController = self.tabBarController
// pop to root vc (green one)
_ = self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: false)
// switch to 2nd tab (red vc)
tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1
}
// if vc was presented modally
#IBAction func onFinish(_ sender: Any) {
self.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil)
if let tabBarController = self.presentingViewController as? UITabBarController {
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1
}
}
// if vc was presented modally + switching tab in completion block
#IBAction func onFinish(_ sender: Any) {
if let tabBarController = self.presentingViewController as? UITabBarController {
self.dismiss(animated: true) {
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1
}
}
}
Indexes will most likely always start from 0 in any language you use.
As for the tab bar you are calling self on the view controller presented not on the view controller that it is dismissing to. You should be able to do
self.window?.rootViewController.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1
in order to accomplish this. This might not work based on the setup of your VCs so you might have to play with it.
You can move to specific index before dismiss view controller.
func moveToVC() {
if let mainNavVC = self.presentingViewController as? UINavigationController {
if mainNavVC.viewControllers.count > 0 {
if let tabbarVC = mainNavVC.viewControllers.first as? TabBarViewController {
tabbarVC.selectedIndex = 0
}
}
}
}
I've created a popover inside my MainViewController when some button its touched using the UIPopoverPresentationController and set like it's delegate like it's showed in the WWDC 2014, in the following way :
MainViewController.swift
class MainViewController : UIViewController, UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate {
#IBAction func showPopover(sender: AnyObject) {
var popoverContent = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("PopOverViewController") as UIViewController
popoverContent.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.Popover
var popover = popoverContent.popoverPresentationController
popoverContent.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(250, 419)
popover!.delegate = self
popover!.sourceView = self.view
popover!.sourceRect = CGRectMake(180,85,0,0)
self.presentViewController(popoverContent, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
The popover have a View inside it and when the View it's clicked with a Tap Gesture Recognizer I show LastViewController using a modal segue, the modal segue is created through the Interface Builder, not in code using an action to present the another LastViewController
Once the LastViewController is dismissed and I'm back in the MainViewController the popover remains open.
Inside the PopOverController I only have the default code nothing more.
LastViewController.swift
#IBAction func dismissVIew(sender: AnyObject) {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
The above code is used to dismiss the LastViewController once the button inside is touched.
Storyboard
How can I dismiss the popover once the another LastViewController it's visible, or before the another LastViewController should be opened?
Thanks in advance
I have already answer same problem over here.
There scenario is different but solution is same
You have to write code for dismiss presented view controller on completion of current view controller.
Write below code on your dismissVIew method of LastViewController.swift
var tmpController :UIViewController! = self.presentingViewController;
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: {()->Void in
println("done");
tmpController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil);
});

In your button action on the FinalViewController, have you tried:
#IBAction func dismissMe() {
//this should tell the popover to tell the main view controller to dismiss it.
self.presentingViewController!.presentingViewController!.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
}
here is how I would do it.
I usually use lazy initialization for the PopoverViewController and it's ContentViewController
lazy var popoverVC: UIPopoverController = {
let vc = UIPopoverController(contentViewController: self.contentVC)
vc.delegate = self
return vc
}()
lazy var contentVC: UIViewController = {
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ContentViewController") as UIViewController
vc.modalInPopover = true
return vc
}()
inside my contentViewController I hold a reference to the UIPopoverController.
var popoverVC: UIPopoverController!
then when I show the popover i just assign the popoverController to the contentViewController
#IBAction func showPopover(sender: UIButton) {
contentVC.popoverVC = self.popoverVC
let viewCenterRect = self.view.convertRect(self.view.bounds, toView: self.view)
popoverVC.presentPopoverFromRect(CGRectMake(CGRectGetMidX(viewCenterRect), CGRectGetMidY(viewCenterRect), 1, 1), inView: self.view, permittedArrowDirections: UIPopoverArrowDirection.allZeros, animated: true)
}
finally I dismiss the Popover programmatically inside an #IBAction
#IBAction func dismissPopover(sender: AnyObject) {
popoverVC.dismissPopoverAnimated(true)
}
Inside the viewcontroller you can override viewWillAppear()
Inside of this block dimiss it
override public func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool)
{
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
_viewToDismiss.removeFromSuperView()
}
But the above code assumes you have a reference to the PopOver object, which I don't think is good practice based on how you described the problem.
Rather, why not have the viewcontroller that created the PopOver be responsible for destroying it. Put this in the class that listens for the button touch (which I also assumes creates the PopOver as well)
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
_popOver.removeFromSuperView()
}
The popover have a View inside it and when the View it's clicked with a Tap Gesture Recognizer I show another ViewController using a modal segue.
As far as I understand from what you say, you should be able to call dismissViewControllerAnimated(_:completion:) from the action associated to your tap gesture recogniser. This will dismiss the popover you presented calling:
self.presentViewController(popoverContent, animated: true, completion: nil)
You can call this method on the popover view controller itself, depending on what is more convenient for you:
The presenting view controller is responsible for dismissing the view controller it presented. If you call this method on the presented view controller itself, it automatically forwards the message to the presenting view controller.
Based on #Jageen answer
Swift 4.2
let tmpController :UIViewController! = self.presentingViewController;
self.dismiss(animated: false, completion: {()->Void in
print("done");
tmpController.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil);
});
