Description:- I am coding for a custom framework, For this I am using XIB everywhere, Now I want to call another XIB in my existing XIB, Its calling very fine But unable to perform button action of called XIB. Thanks in advance Here is code.
let bundle = Bundle(for: type(of: self))
let nib = UINib(nibName: "WelcomeVC", bundle: bundle)
self.contentView = nib.instantiate(withOwner: self, options: nil).first as! UIView
self.addSubview(self.contentView)
MVC - is global iOS concept. Learn it again.
xib - is view "V", "V" - cant been as controller "C".
if you can call xib - make it in a controller.

I am currently trying to add a xib file for a custom popup to my Swift Package. However, it won't says:
'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle </private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/--/testingSDK.app> (loaded)' with name 'consentViewModal''
I have seen around people discussing that Swift Packages doesn't support anything but source code and I was wondering if this was still true. Below is the code that we are using to instantiate the custom view.
let nib = UINib(nibName: "consentViewModal", bundle: Bundle(for: consentViewModal.classForCoder()))
guard let view = nib.instantiate(withOwner: self, options: nil).first as? UIView else {
fatalError("Failed to instantiate nib \(nib)")
}
self.addSubview(view)
view.frame = self.bounds
view.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleHeight, .flexibleWidth]
When the .xib is inside of a Swift Package, you must use Bundle.module
The "module" bundle "Returns the resource bundle associated with the current Swift module."
For example:
let loadedNib = Bundle.module.loadNibNamed(String(describing: type(of: self)), owner: self, options: nil)
guard let contentView = loadedNib?.first as? UIView else {
return nil
}
Also, ensure that within the .xib itself, that you update the "module" name to be that of your Swift Package on the right hand side "Identity Inspector". It should not say "None" as shown below:
3. Also, although I'm not sure if necessary, place the `.xib` file within the "Resources" folder under the root directory of your target folder.

I am doing a swift , cocoa macos app project with multiple ViewControllers in one storyboard.
I know if I do segue and link the segue from second ViewController to first ViewController.
I can pop out ViewController.
But what if I have a function and want to call another ViewController to present programmatically from first ViewController?
I search a lot of examples start with UIStoryBoard, but my Storyboard is NSStoryboard.
Could anyone hint me a little to start with?
my code:
func checkPassword(SystemMsg:String) -> String{
//print("x")
let storyBoard = NSStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let mainViewController : NSViewController = storyBoard.instantiateController(withIdentifier: "PasswordInput") as! NSViewController
//self.present(mainViewController, asPopoverRelativeTo: <#T##NSRect#>, of: sender, preferredEdge: NSRectEdge, behavior: <#T##NSPopover.Behavior#>)
return ""
}
And my viewController in storyboard look like(no segue,no link):
enter image description here
If anyone can guide me through this step by step would be appreciated.
I figure it out myself.
The most simple way contains 4 steps:
Identify your main ViewController and second ViewController in storyboard
Create your main ViewController with instantiateController
Create your second ViewController with instantiateController
use presentAsModalWindow or presentAsSheet to present secondController on main ViewController
first we need to Identify storyboard correctly:
Identify first storyboard , we need to click top blue cube and then name it in Storyboard Id area
Identify second storyboard , we need to click top blue cube and then name it in Storyboard Id area
example code:
func checkPassword(SystemMsg:String) -> String{
//print("x")
//let storyBoard = NSStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let mainViewController : NSViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateController(withIdentifier: "MainController") as! NSViewController
let passwordInputViewController : NSViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateController(withIdentifier: "PasswordInput") as! NSViewController
mainViewController.presentAsModalWindow(passwordInputViewController)
//Or
mainViewController.presentAsSheet(passwordInputViewController)
return ""
}
If I miss something please correct me gently.

I made a view in a xib file which is loaded in the main ViewController called "ExperienceScreen". Adding this xib view to the ExperienceScreen works perfectly. The problem is that I would like to add this xib view in a UITableViewCel. I am using the following code to do that :
let experiences = service.getExperiences()
// 3. Loop through the array of experiences
for element in experiences {
if let customView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("ExperienceDetail", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as? ExperienceDetail
{
customView.lblTitle.text = element.title
customView.lblCompany.text = element.company
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell")! as UITableViewCell
cell.addSubview(customView)
cell.bringSubview(toFront: customView)
}
}
tableView.reloadData()
When launching, the subview is not shown in the UITableViewCell. The customView View is filled correctly with the xib View. I checked this using a breakpoint.
Someone knows what I'am doing wrong?
Many thanks for helping !!
If you want to display your xib file as UITableViewCell, then following scenario works
1. make sure your xib class is sub class of UITableViewCell.
2. register your xib
//class of xib file
class TableCell: UITableViewCell {
static let identifier = "TableCell"
static let nib = UINib(nibName: "TableCell", bundle: nil)
}
// In view controller
func setupTableView() {
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delefate = self
tableView.register(TableCell.nib, forCellReuseIdentifier:
TableCell.identifier)
}
call setupTableView() in viewDidLoad()
Don't try to set up your cells all at once.
You should implement the UITableViewDataSource protocol and configure each cell using the method tableView(_:cellForRowAt:). In this method, you can call register(_:forCellReuseIdentifier:) to use your XIB for newly created cells.
There are lots of tutorials on creating table views where you can find step-by-step instructions on doing this.
I'm attempting to switch storyboards when a button only if a condition (The textfield not being empty) is met. I found this piece of code as an answer to a similar question, and it doesn't seem to be working. My program crashes with "'Storyboard () doesn't contain a view controller with identifier 'Avatar Controller''"
I'm not completely sure as to where to find the view controller identifies, or whether or not I have to add '.storyboard' at the end of the storyboard name.
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Avatar", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Avatar Controller")
self.navigationController!.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
To make it works, Use Storyboard ID has to be checked
This could be happening for 2 reasons.
1) Because in your Avatar.storyboard you are referencing a view controller with the id Avatar Controller but you have not set that value on any of the view controllers in the storyboard file. Go into your Avatar.storyboard, click on the view controller you want to show and go to this panel:
Make sure that the Storyboard ID for your viewController matches what value you use in storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Avatar Controller")
2) Because you are not providing a bundle when you are loading your storyboard. You are calling this
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Avatar", bundle: nil);
but because you specify bundle as nil it doesn't know where to look for the Avatar.storyboard file. To fix it, specify bundle as Bundle.main:
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Avatar", bundle: Bundle.main);
How do you create multiple storyboards in the same project using Swift? I know I have to go to File -> New -> File and then choose Storyboard, but how do I integrate that storyboard into my project and navigate to the new storyboard's views in Swift code?
You need to get a reference to the desired storyboard
let aStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "storyboardName", bundle: nil)
Then instantiate desired view controller
let vc = aStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("viewControllerIdentifier") as! UIViewController
