So i have a UIButton with its own custom class (open class circlemenu: UIButton), the button is placed on a view controller but the code for the button is in a seperate swift file.
as the custom class produces results i would like it to change from the viewcontroller where the button is physically place to another viewcontroller.
at them moment I'm just getting an error as i can't do like i normally would from a VC item as the button has no self??:
class circlemenu {
var parentViewController:UIViewController!
func presentNewViewController() {
let newViewController = parentViewController.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("YOUR STORYBOARD ID") as UIViewController
parentViewController.presentViewController(newViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
i have also tried setting up a relationship with the unbutton and the viewcontroller with the following in my custom class
var parentViewController:UIViewController!
func presentNewViewController() {
let newViewController = parentViewController.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("storyboardID") as UIViewController
parentViewController.presentViewController(newViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
and this in the viewcontroller class
func myCustomClass() {
var customButton = circlemenu()
customButton.parentViewController = self
}
but it just keeps throwing me errors.

I am presenting a GKGameCenterViewController in an SKScene that inherits from the following protocol.
protocol GameCenter {}
extension GameCenter where Self: SKScene {
func goToLeaderboard() {
let vc = GKGameCenterViewController()
vc.gameCenterDelegate = GameViewController()
vc.viewState = .leaderboards
vc.leaderboardIdentifier = "leaderboard"
view?.window?.rootViewController?.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
While the GKGameCenterViewController shows up perfect, when I try to dismiss by clicking the X in the top right corner, nothing happens. I assume this is because the reference to my original GameViewController has been deallocated. How can I get this dismissal to work?
According to Apple's Documentation:
Your delegate should dismiss the Game Center view controller. If your game paused any gameplay or other activities, it can restart those services in this method.
This means you need to implement the gameCenterViewControllerDidFinish method in your delegate and dismiss the gameCenterViewController yourself.
You should have something like this in your GameViewController()
func gameCenterViewControllerDidFinish(_ gameCenterViewController: GKGameCenterViewController) {
gameCenterViewController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
In order to present the GKGameCenterViewController on a SKScene, I needed to find the currently displayed UIViewController reference and set this as the delegate. Here is the code I used and it works:
protocol GameCenter {}
extension GameCenter where Self: SKScene {
func goToLeaderboard() {
var currentViewController:UIViewController=UIApplication.shared.keyWindow!.rootViewController!
let vc = GKGameCenterViewController()
vc.gameCenterDelegate = currentViewController as! GKGameCenterControllerDelegate
vc.viewState = .leaderboards
vc.leaderboardIdentifier = "leaderboard"
currentViewController.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
My Scenario, I am trying to call a ViewController class file particular function from another one class file. Here, I am getting below warning and ViewController not presenting.
My Code Below ViewControllerA
func previewview(){ // Inside ViewControllerA
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let fileViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "fileviewcontroller")
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: fileViewController)
self.present(navController, animated: true, completion: nil)
} }
Below code In Another Class File
import UIKit
class FileController {
//MARK:- Call a file preview
ViewControllerA().self.previewview()
}
Warning: Attempt to present on
whose view is not in the window
hierarchy!
Try this
Viewcontroller().FuncName()
Example:
LoginViewController().checkLoginValidation()
Use swift's Delegate Protocol to call a function in a class from different class.
Here is a link for understanding how delegate protocol works.
https://medium.com/#nimjea/delegation-pattern-in-swift-4-2-f6aca61f4bf5
Here is how you can proceed. This is just an example. You can take the idea and implement in you code as per your requirement.
Instead of creating a separate ViewController, create a ViewModel that handles the implementation of saving the file, i.e.
class SaveOptionsViewModel {
func save(file: String, handler: (()->())?) { //add parameters to save a file as per requirement
//save the file here...
handler?()
}
}
Now, in the controller that contains multiple save options, create a property of type SaveOptionsViewModel.
And present PreviewVC from SaveOptionsVC in the handler once the file is saved using the SaveOptionsViewModel after tapping the saveButton.
class SaveOptionsVC: UIViewController {
let viewModel = SaveOptionsViewModel()
#IBAction func onTapSaveButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
self.viewModel.save(file: "") {
if let previewVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "PreviewVC") {
self.present(previewVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
}
Add the custom implementation of PreviewVC as per your requirement.
class PreviewVC: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
//add the code...
}
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.
}
In the project shown below there is an InitialViewController that has a single button labeled "Show Popover". When that button is tapped the app is supposed to present the second view controller (PopoverViewController) as a popover. The second view controller just has a label saying "Popover!".
This works fine if the InitialViewController takes care of instantiating PopoverViewController, retrieving the popoverPresentationController and then setting the popoverPresentationController's delegate to itself (to InitialViewController). You can see the result, below:
For maximum reusability, however, it would be great if the InitialViewController did not need to know anything about how the presentation controller is delegated. I think it should be possible for the PopoverViewController to set itself as the popoverPresentationController's delegate. I've tried this in either the viewDidLoad or the viewWillAppear functions of the PopoverViewController. However, the PopoverViewController is presented modally in both cases, as shown below:
All the code is contained in just the InitialViewController and the PopoverViewController. The code used in the failing version of the InitialViewController is shown below:
import UIKit
// MARK: - UIViewController subclass
class InitialViewController: UIViewController {
struct Lets {
static let storyboardName = "Main"
static let popoverStoryboardID = "Popover View Controller"
}
#IBAction func showPopoverButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
// instantiate & present the popover view controller
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: Lets.storyboardName,
bundle: nil )
let popoverViewController =
storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: Lets.popoverStoryboardID )
popoverViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
guard let popoverPresenter = popoverViewController.popoverPresentationController
else {
fatalError( "could not retrieve a pointer to the 'popoverPresentationController' property of popoverViewController")
}
present(popoverViewController,
animated: true,
completion: nil )
// Retrieve and configure UIPopoverPresentationController
// after presentation (per
// https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uipopoverpresentationcontroller)
popoverPresenter.permittedArrowDirections = .any
let button = sender
popoverPresenter.sourceView = button
popoverPresenter.sourceRect = button.bounds
}
}
The code in the failing PopoverViewController is shown below:
import UIKit
// MARK: - main UIViewController subclass
class PopoverViewController: UIViewController {
// MARK: API
var factorForMarginsAroundButton: CGFloat = 1.2
// MARK: outlets and actions
#IBOutlet weak var popoverLabel: UILabel!
// MARK: lifecycle
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear( animated )
// set the preferred size for popover presentations
let labelSize =
popoverLabel.systemLayoutSizeFitting( UILayoutFittingCompressedSize )
let labelWithMargins =
CGSize(width: labelSize.width * factorForMarginsAroundButton,
height: labelSize.height * factorForMarginsAroundButton )
preferredContentSize = labelWithMargins
// set the delegate for the popoverPresentationController to self
popoverPresentationController?.delegate = self
}
}
// MARK: - UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate
// (inherits from protocol UIAdaptivePresentationControllerDelegate)
extension PopoverViewController: UIPopoverPresentationControllerDelegate
{
func adaptivePresentationStyle(for controller: UIPresentationController,
traitCollection: UITraitCollection)
-> UIModalPresentationStyle{
return .none
}
}
Is it possible for a view controller that is being presented as a popover to be the delegate for its own popoverPresentationController?
I'm using Xcode 8.0, Swift 3.1 and the target is iOS 10.0
It's certainly possible. You're dealing with a timing issue. You need to set the delegate before viewWillAppear. Unfortunately, there is no convenient view lifecycle function to insert the assignment into, so I did this instead.
In your PopoverViewController class, assign the delegate in an overriden getter. You can make the assignment conditional if you'd like. This creates a permanent relationship, so other code code never "override" the delegate by assigning it.
override var popoverPresentationController: UIPopoverPresentationController? {
get {
let ppc = super.popoverPresentationController
ppc?.delegate = self
return ppc
}
}
As #allenh has correctly observed, you need to set the delgate before viewWillAppear, and he has offered a clever solution by setting the delegate by overriding the popoverPresentationController getter.
You could also set the delegate to the popover itself in your showPopover() function between setting modalPresentationStyle and presenting the popover:
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: Lets.popoverStoryboardID )
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
vc.popoverPresentationController?.delegate = vc
present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
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);
});
