How to add a UIView which is created in storyboard as a pop-up in Swift? - iphone

Question

I did the following:
1. Dragged UIView to place it in the ViewController ribbon
Created a custom UIView class and added the outlets to the 'Edit Profile View' view fields:
import UIKit
class EditProfileView: UIView {
let globalDataHandler = GlobalDataHandler.sharedInstance
#IBOutlet weak var firstNameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var lastNameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var userNameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var passwordTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var emailTextField: UITextField!
#IBAction func saveEditButton(sender: AnyObject) {
}
#IBAction func cancelEditButton(sender: AnyObject) {
}
/*
// Only override drawRect: if you perform custom drawing.
// An empty implementation adversely affects performance during animation.
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
// Drawing code
}
*/
}
Gave 'EditProfileView' class as the Custom Class for the 'Edit Profile View' view in Storyboard.
Created an object for 'EditProfileView' class in ProfileViewController and added the 'Edit Profile View' view to the main view upon clicking edit button in ProfileViewController.
class ProfileViewController: UIViewController {
let profileView = EditProfileView()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
#IBAction func editProfileButton(sender: AnyObject) {
profileView.firstNameTextField.text = "First Name"
profileView.lastNameTextField.text = "Last Name"
profileView.userNameTextField.text = "User Name"
profileView.emailTextField.text = "Email"
let testFrame : CGRect = CGRectMake(50,100,300,300)
profileView.frame = testFrame
self.view.addSubview(profileView)
}
}
But, the 'Edit Profile View' view doesn't appear on ProfileViewController.
Please help.

You have to link your UIView and your View (should be a distinct UIViewController) in the Xib.
profileView = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ProfileViewController")
You must have an UIPresentationController for your ProfileVC
class ProfilePresentationController : UIPresentationController {
override func frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView() -> CGRect {
return CGRect(x: (presentingViewController.view.frame.width / 2.0) - 150.0, y: (presentingViewController.view.frame.height / 2.0) - 100.0, width: 300.0, height: 200.0)
}
}
Your EditProfileView must implement the following delegate:
UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate
the following properties of your profileView must also be set to:
profileView.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.Custom
profileView.transitioningDelegate = self
After that you can implement the delegate required method
func presentationControllerForPresentedViewController(presented: UIViewController, presentingViewController presenting: UIViewController, sourceViewController source: UIViewController) -> UIPresentationController? {
return ProfilePresentationController(presentedViewController: presented, presentingViewController: presenting)
}
