tvOS: An issue while navigating - swift

I am trying to navigate to another UIViewController and seems nothing works. My code is:
private func navigate() {
let isAutoLogin = getAutologinValue()
if isAutoLogin {
let mainTabsController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("Tabbar") as? LTTabbar
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(mainTabsController!, animated: true)
}
else {
let subscribeController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SplashScreen") as? LTSplashCsreenController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(subscribeController!, animated: true)
}
}
I call navigate() in viewDidAppear. Should it work like this in tvOS? Thank you in advance.

You should call the instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier method with a LTTabBar.
What is wrong is to call this method with an instance of UIViewController or UITableViewController... As you are doing in the second method.

The screen comes out from behind

I don't know why this is happening, already I have a similar functions on the project and this isn't happening.
When I delete the account and I to the previous screen or if the user is on background and open it again the 2 methods below cause you to be sent to the main screen but I detected this problem (in the picture)
There is the function when I go to the home when I delete the account
private func goToHomeWithLogin(){
let home = HomeAssembly.presenterView()
Utils.getTopViewController()?.present(home, animated: true)
And the getTopViewController do this:
func getTopViewController() -> UIViewController? {
if let viewController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController {
if let modal = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.presentedViewController {
return modal
} else if let navigationController = viewController as? UINavigationController {
return navigationController
}
}
return nil
}
When I drag down the screen comes out from behind
looks like default card style of UIViewController.present(...) if you want it full screen (without the swipe down feature) try home.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen before presenting it
let home = HomeAssembly.presenterView()
home.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
Utils.getTopViewController()?.present(home, animated: true)

Is it possible to observe changes in presentingViewController?

Is there any equivalent in Swift to RACObserve(self, presentingViewController)?
Or any other why to imitate this behaviour?
My issue is that I want to be notified whenever a view controller is "hidden" by another view controller. In objc what I'd do is to check if self.presentingViewController is nil.
Note that in this scenario there's no knowledge of which view controller is presented, so it's impossible to notify from within its viewDidAppear/viewDidDisappear.
As I understand your question: you need to to know which view controller is presented now and you need notification inviewDidAppear/viewDidDisappear.
So we can get this in several way.
The simple way is:
Get information of which is the top ViewController right now.
2.Call this method in your viewDidAppear/viewDidDisappear
Like this :
Get Which is The Top ViewController
func getTopViewController() -> UIViewController? {
if var topVC = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController {
while let presentedViewController = topVC.presentedViewController {
topVC = presentedViewController
return topVC
}
return topVC
}
return nil
}
Call in viewDidAppear:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(true)
if let top = getTopViewController() {
print("topView Controller name \(top.title)")
top.view.backgroundColor = .red
}
}
Hope it will help you !

Keyboard overlaying action sheet in iOS 13.1 on CNContactViewController

This seems to be specific to iOS 13.1, as it works as expected on iOS 13.0 and earlier versions to add a contact in CNContactViewController, if I 'Cancel', the action sheet is overlapping by keyboard. No actions getting performed and keyboard is not dismissing.
Kudos to #GxocT for the the great workaround! Helped my users immensely.
But I wanted to share my code based on #GxocT solution hoping it will help others in this scenario.
I needed my CNContactViewControllerDelegate contactViewController(_:didCompleteWith:) to be called on cancel (as well as done).
Also my code was not in a UIViewController so there is no self.navigationController
I also dont like using force unwraps when I can help it. I have been bitten in the past so I chained if lets in the setup
Here's what I did:
Extend CNContactViewController and place the swizzle function in
there.
In my case in the swizzle function just call the
CNContactViewControllerDelegate delegate
contactViewController(_:didCompleteWith:) with self and
self.contact object from the contact controller
In the setup code, make sure the swizzleMethod call to
class_getInstanceMethod specifies the CNContactViewController
class instead of self
And the Swift code:
class MyClass: CNContactViewControllerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.changeImplementation()
}
func changeCancelImplementation() {
let originalSelector = Selector(("editCancel:"))
let swizzledSelector = #selector(CNContactViewController.cancelHack)
if let originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(CNContactViewController()), originalSelector),
let swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(CNContactViewController()), swizzledSelector) {
method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod)
}
}
func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController, didCompleteWith contact: CNContact?) {
// dismiss the contacts controller as usual
viewController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
// do other stuff when your contact is canceled or saved
...
}
}
extension CNContactViewController {
#objc func cancelHack() {
self.delegate?.contactViewController?(self, didCompleteWith: self.contact)
}
}
The keyboard still shows momentarily but drops just after the Contacts controller dismisses.
Lets hope apple fixes this
I couldn't find a way to dismiss keyboard. But at least you can pop ViewController using my method.
Don't know why but it's impossible to dismiss keyboard in CNContactViewController. I tried endEditing:, make new UITextField firstResponder and so on. Nothing worked.
I tried to alter action for "Cancel" button. You can find this button in NavigationController stack, But it's action is changed every time you type something.
Finally I used method swizzling. I couldn't find a way to dismiss keyboard as I mentioned earlier, but at least you can dismiss CNContactViewController when "Cancel" button is pressed.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
changeImplementation()
}
#IBAction func userPressedButton(_ sender: Any) {
let controller = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: nil)
controller.delegate = self
navigationController?.pushViewController(controller, animated: true)
}
#objc func popController() {
self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
func changeImplementation() {
let originalSelector = Selector("editCancel:")
let swizzledSelector = #selector(self.popController)
if let originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(CNContactViewController()), originalSelector),
let swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(CNContactViewController()), swizzledSelector) {
method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod)
}
}
}
PS: You can find additional info on reddit topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/dc9n3a/bug_with_cnviewcontroller_ios_131/
Fixed in iOS 13.4
Tested in Xcode Simulator
NOTE: This bug is now fixed. This question and answer were applicable only to some particular versions of iOS (a limited range of iOS 13 versions).
The user can in fact swipe down to dismiss the keyboard and then tap Cancel and see the action sheet. So this issue is regrettable and definitely a bug (and I have filed a bug report) but not fatal (though, to be sure, the workaround is not trivial for the user to discover).
Thanks, #GxocT for your workaround, however, the solution posted here is different from the one you posted on Reddit.
The one on Reddit works for me, this one doesn't so I want to repost it here.
The difference is on the line with swizzledMethod which should be:
let swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(self), swizzledSelector) {
The whole updated code is:
class MyClass: CNContactViewControllerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.changeImplementation()
}
func changeCancelImplementation() {
let originalSelector = Selector(("editCancel:"))
let swizzledSelector = #selector(CNContactViewController.cancelHack)
if let originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(CNContactViewController()), originalSelector),
let swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(object_getClass(self), swizzledSelector) {
method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod)
}
}
func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController, didCompleteWith contact: CNContact?) {
// dismiss the contacts controller as usual
viewController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
// do other stuff when your contact is canceled or saved
...
}
}
extension CNContactViewController {
#objc func cancelHack() {
self.delegate?.contactViewController?(self, didCompleteWith: self.contact)
}
}
Thanks #Gxoct for his excellent work around. I think this is very useful question & post for those who are working with CNContactViewController. I also had this problem (till now) but in objective c. I interpret the above Swift code into objective c.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
Class class = [CNContactViewController class];
SEL originalSelector = #selector(editCancel:);
SEL swizzledSelector = #selector(dismiss); // we will gonna access this method & redirect the delegate via this method
Method originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(class, originalSelector);
Method swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(class, swizzledSelector);
BOOL didAddMethod =
class_addMethod(class,
originalSelector,
method_getImplementation(swizzledMethod),
method_getTypeEncoding(swizzledMethod));
if (didAddMethod) {
class_replaceMethod(class,
swizzledSelector,
method_getImplementation(originalMethod),
method_getTypeEncoding(originalMethod));
} else {
method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod);
}
}
Creating a CNContactViewController category for accessing dismiss;
#implementation CNContactViewController (Test)
- (void) dismiss{
[self.delegate contactViewController:self didCompleteWithContact:self.contact];
}
#end
Guys who are not so familiar with Swizzling you may try this post by matt
One thing to always take into account is that swizzler method is executed only once. Make sure that you implement changeCancelImplementation() in dispatch_once queue so that it is executed only once.
Check this link for description
Also this bug is found only in iOS 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3

How to detect if a pushed viewcontroller appears again?

assuming I have a viewcontroller (vcA) that pushes QRCodeScannerViewcontroller (vcB). When (vcB) scanned something, It will push ResultviewController (vcC).
-Those 3 views is connected to a UInavigation controller
-the user clicks on the back button on (vcC)
my question is:
1)how can I know if (vcB) is visible without changing code on (vcB)? (vcB) is a pod
2)where will I put this code? I can only access (vcA)
i tried adding this code on (vcA) but nothing happened
override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
if (vcB.isViewLoaded && (vcB.view.window != nil)){
print("vcb did appear!")
}
}
To know if an instance of cvB's class exists in the navigation stack, you could use this piece of code:
let result = self.navigationController?.viewControllers.filter({
if let vcB = $0 as? UIViewController { // Replace UIViewController with your class, for example ViewControllerB
return true
}
return false
})
if result.isEmpty {
print("An instance of vcB's class hasn't been pused before")
} else {
print("An instance of vcB's class has been pused before")
}

Swift popToViewController

Good day guys, I'm learning Swift, needed some help here.
The user are signing up and selected their image. Upon dismissing the image picker, I would like to have the ComposeViewController appear.
Here is the code:
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: NSDictionary!) {
let pickedImage:UIImage = info.objectForKey(UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage) as UIImage
//Scale Down Image
let scaledImage = self.scaleImageWith(pickedImage, and: CGSizeMake(100,100))
let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(scaledImage)
let imageFile:PFFile = PFFile(data: imageData)
PFUser.currentUser().setObject(imageFile, forKey: "profileImage")
PFUser.currentUser().saveInBackgroundWithTarget(nil, selector: nil)
picker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
//this is the line seems to have problem.
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(ComposeViewController, animated: true)
}
Then I got these error:
ComposeViewController.Type' is not convertible to 'UIViewController
Expected member name or constructor call after type name
It has suggestion to fix by putting () after ComposeViewController but then it gives out more errors after fixing.
Hope someone could help. Thanks! :-)
let controllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers
for vc in controllers! {
if vc is YourVC {
_ = self.navigationController?.popToViewController(vc as! YourVC, animated: true)
}
}
I know this is old, but it's like what Saqib said, you can't pop to a viewcontroller that doesn't exist yet.
A lot of the answers here seem to be from people that didn't read your question, just the title. I'll leave this code here in case it helps anyone.
let vcIndex = self.navigationController?.viewControllers.indexOf({ (viewController) -> Bool in
if let _ = viewController as? ComposeViewController {
return true
}
return false
})
let composeVC = self.navigationController?.viewControllers[vcIndex!] as! ComposeViewController
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(composeVC, animated: true)
There's a method that lets you get access to an array of all the ViewControllers on the current stack, and you can capture the one you want by using its index, for instance:
let switchViewController = self.navigationController?.viewControllers[1] as! ComposeViewController
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(switchViewController, animated: true)
if let composeViewController = self.navigationController?.viewControllers[1] {
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(composeViewController, animated: true)
}
I ended up replaceing the following code inside the main view and it works. I'm not sure if this is the right way, would you mind giving me some comments?
//self.navigationController?.popToViewController(ComposeViewController, animated: true)
let switchViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("view2") as ComposeViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(switchViewController, animated: true)
I defined "view2" as the destination storyboard ID.
What I found more useful was to do a first lookup with viewControllers, that way you get the first instance you find in the stack, without having to guess the actual index.
e.g.
let mainViewControllerVC = self.navigationController?.viewControllers.first(where: { (viewcontroller) -> Bool in
return viewcontroller is ComposeViewController
})
if let mainViewControllerVC = mainViewControllerVC {
navigationController?.popToViewController(mainViewControllerVC, animated: true)
}
For Swift 4.0 and above Using Filter
guard let VC = self.navigationController?.viewControllers.filter({$0.isKind(of: YourViewController.self)}).first else {return}
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(VC, animated: true)
navigation controller maintains the stack of views you are pushing. Its like a Last in first out queue.
In order to pop to ComposeViewController, that view must already exist in the queue and you should have reference to it.
You will need to pass the instance of ComposeViewController. for simplicity you might save that reference in appdelegate. (this approach is not recommended)
for (var i = 0; i < self.navigationController?.viewControllers.count; i++)
{
if(self.navigationController?.viewControllers[i].isKindOfClass(DestinationViewController) == true)
{
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(self.navigationController!.viewControllers[i] as! DestinationViewController, animated: true)
break;
}
}
In Swift 4.1 and Xcode 9.4.1
Suppose if you moved from 1st ViewController to 2nd, then 2nd to 3rd. Now if you want to come back from 3rd to 1st directly this code is enough.
if let composeViewController = self.navigationController?.viewControllers[1] {//Here you mention your view controllers index, because navigation controller can store all VC'c in an array.
print(composeViewController)
self.navigationController?.popToViewController(composeViewController, animated: true)
}
