SwiftUI dismissing .alert pops NavigationView - ios

I've got the following sample code running on watchos 8+:
struct TestView: View {
#State private var showingAlert = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
NavigationLink {
Button(action: {
showingAlert = true
}, label: {
Text("Show dialog")
})
.alert("", isPresented: $showingAlert, actions: {
Button("refresh") {
}
})
} label: {
Text("Show detail")
}
}
}
}
It's a simple screen with a NavigationLinks that pushes into navigation a new view with a simple Button.
On button press I'm displaying an alert with a simple button. When the alert is dismissed, the detail view is also dismissed and the interface returns back to it's original state.
It looks like this:
I am wondering what am I missing here. How can I dismiss the alert but remain on the second view that shows the "Show dialog" button.

View separations and not needed NavigationView (watchOS only!).
So here is fixed code. Tested with Xcode 13.4 / watchOS 8.5
struct TestView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationLink {
DestinationView()
} label: {
Text("Show detail")
}
}
struct DestinationView: View {
#State private var showingAlert = false
var body: some View {
Button(action: {
showingAlert = true
}, label: {
Text("Show dialog")
})
.alert("", isPresented: $showingAlert, actions: {
Button("refresh") {
}
})
}
}
}

SwiftUI Modal Inherits SearchBar during Sheet Presentation

Consider the following example with a list and a button wrapped in a HStack that opens up a sheet:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var text: String = ""
#State var showSheet = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
HStack {
button
}
Text("Hello World")
}
.searchable(text: $text)
}
}
var button: some View {
Button("Press", action: { showSheet = true })
.sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) {
modalView
}
}
var modalView: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
Text("Test")
}
}
}
}
On press of the button, a modal is presented to the user. However, the searchable modifier gets passed to the modal, see this video.
Now if the HStack is removed, everything works fine:
List {
button
Text("Hello World")
}
In addition, everything works also fine if the modal is not a NavigationView:
var modalView: some View {
List {
Text("Test")
}
}
Does somebody know what the problem here might be or is it once again one of those weird SwiftUI bugs?
putting the sheet, outside of the button and the List, works for me. I think .sheet is not meant to be inside a List, especially where searchable is operating.
struct ContentView: View {
#State var text: String = ""
#State var showSheet = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
HStack {
button
}
Text("Hello World")
}
.searchable(text: $text)
}
.sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) {
modalView
}
}
var button: some View {
Button("Press", action: { showSheet = true })
}
var modalView: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
Text("Test")
}
}
}
}
Another workaround is to use navigationBarHidden = true, but then you must live without the navigation bar in the sheet view.
var modalView: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
Text("Test")
}
.navigationBarHidden(true)
}
}
Btw, on iPadOS it helps to use .searchable(text: $text, placement: .sidebar)

Why is NavigationLink not working inside of a SwiftUI alert?

I have an alert that upon tapping I would like to return the user back to another view. The alert is showing, but why does it not navigate upon tapping?
VStack{
.alert("End of available content", isPresented: $model.alertIsPresented) {
NavigationLink(destination: SearchView()) {
Button("OK", role:.cancel) {}
}
}
}
Because NavigationLink needs to be inside of a hierarchy using NavigationView. An alert is a modal presented outside of that structure.
If you would like to programmatically navigate, you can use the isActive property of a NavigationLink within the NavigationView hierarchy.
struct ContentView : View {
#State private var alertIsPresented = false
#State private var navLinkActive = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack{
Button("Present alert") {
alertIsPresented = true
}
.alert("End of available content", isPresented: $alertIsPresented) {
Button("Navigate") {
navLinkActive = true
}
}
NavigationLink(isActive: $navLinkActive, destination: { SearchView() }, label: {
EmptyView()
})
}
}
}
}
struct SearchView : View {
var body: some View {
Text("Search")
}
}

SwiftUI, weird NavigationLink behavior when working with actionSheet

I want to detect if the user meets the prerequisite first before I let him/her in. If the prerequisite is not met, the app will pop an actionSheet and show the user some ways to unlock the feature.
It works perfectly fine when I tap on the text. But when I tap on the blank place on the list. It just skip the Binding. And the weird thing is that in my actually project, the Binding becomes "true" even if I only set it to false.
Here's the question. Am I using the correct approach or did I miss anything? Or is this a bug?
Thank you.
struct ContentView: View {
#State var linkOne = false
#State var linkTwo = false
#State var linkThree = false
#State var actionOne = false
#State var actionTwo = false
#State var actionThree = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
List{
NavigationLink("Destination View One", destination: DestOneView(), isActive: self.$linkOne)
.actionSheet(isPresented: self.$actionOne) { () -> ActionSheet in
ActionSheet(title: Text("Hello"), message:Text("This is weird"), buttons: [ActionSheet.Button.cancel()])
}.onTapGesture {
self.actionOne = true
// self.linkOne = true
}
NavigationLink("Destination View Two", destination: DestTwoView(), isActive: self.$linkTwo)
.actionSheet(isPresented: self.$actionTwo) { () -> ActionSheet in
ActionSheet(title: Text("Hello"), message:Text("This is weird"), buttons: [ActionSheet.Button.cancel()])
}
.onTapGesture {
self.actionTwo = true
// self.linkTwo = true
}
NavigationLink("Destination View Three", destination: DestThreeView(), isActive: self.$linkThree)
.actionSheet(isPresented: self.$actionThree) { () -> ActionSheet in
ActionSheet(title: Text("Hello"), message:Text("This is weird"), buttons: [ActionSheet.Button.cancel()])
}
.onTapGesture {
self.actionThree = true
// self.linkThree = true
}
}
}
}
}
Three other views.
struct DestOneView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("First View")
}
}
struct DestTwoView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Second View")
}
}
struct DestThreeView: View {
var body: some View {
Text("Third View")
}
}
Generally overriding gestures does not work well within the List. One of the solutions can be to use a Button to present a NavigationLink:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var linkOne = false
...
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
NavigationLink(destination: SomeView(), isActive: $linkOne) {
EmptyView()
}
Button(action: {
// here you can perform actions
self.linkOne = true
}, label: {
Text("Some text!")
})
Spacer()
}
}
}
}
When I came back and tested my the code. The solution didn't really work. May be because of the List's bug. People on another post said that the List in the new view only show once if the sheet is inside the List. So I only got an empty List in the new view when I tap the button in Xcode Version 11.5. For some reasion, if I use NavigationView, all contents are shrunk into the middle of the view instead of aligning to the top.
My work around is to set the Binding in .onAppear. It pops the actionSheet when the view loads. And then use the presentationMode method to return to the previous view.
#Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
.
.
.
ActionSheet.Button.default(Text("Dismiss"), action: {
self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()}

SwiftUI ActionSheet position on iPad

When using SwiftUI's ActionSheet inside a List on iPad, it appears in a wrong position, especially if the style of the list is set to GroupedListStyle.
With this code:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var presentAction: Bool = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
Section {
Button(action: {
self.presentAction.toggle()
}) {
Text("Present")
}
.actionSheet(isPresented: $presentAction) {
ActionSheet(title: Text("This is an action sheet"), buttons: [
.destructive(Text("Destroy all"))
])
}
}
}.listStyle(GroupedListStyle())
}
.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}
}
The result is as in the following screen (iPad Pro 10.5"):
But in my current app, is even worse:

SwiftUI modal presentation works only once from navigationBarItems

Here is a bug in SwiftUI when you show modal from button inside navigation bar items.
In code below Button 1 works as expected, but Button 2 works only once:
struct DetailView: View {
#Binding var isPresented: Bool
#Environment (\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Text("OK")
.navigationBarTitle("Details")
.navigationBarItems(trailing: Button(action: {
self.isPresented = false
// or:
// self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
}) {
Text("Done").bold()
})
}
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
#State var showSheetView = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Group {
Text("Master")
Button(action: { self.showSheetView.toggle() }) {
Text("Button 1")
}
}
.navigationBarTitle("Main")
.navigationBarItems(trailing: Button(action: {
self.showSheetView.toggle()
}) {
Text("Button 2").bold()
})
}.sheet(isPresented: $showSheetView) {
DetailView(isPresented: self.$showSheetView)
}
}
}
This bug is from the middle of the last year, and it still in Xcode 11.3.1 + iOS 13.3 Simulator and iOS 13.3.1 iPhone XS.
Is here any workaround to make button work?
EDIT:
Seems to be tap area goes somewhere down and it's possible to tap below button to show modal.
Temporary solution to this is to use inline navigation bar mode:
.navigationBarTitle("Main", displayMode: .inline)
Well, the issue is in bad layout (seems broken constrains) of navigation bar button after sheet has closed
It is clearly visible in view hierarchy debug:
Here is a fix (workaround of course, but safe, because even after issue be fixed it will continue working). The idea is not to fight with broken layout but just create another button, so layout engine itself remove old-bad button and add new one refreshing layout. The instrument for this is pretty known - use .id()
So modified code:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var showSheetView = false
#State private var navigationButtonID = UUID()
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Group {
Text("Master")
Button(action: { self.showSheetView.toggle() }) {
Text("Button 1")
}
}
.navigationBarTitle("Main")
.navigationBarItems(trailing: Button(action: {
self.showSheetView.toggle()
}) {
Text("Button 2").bold() // recommend .padding(.vertical) here
}
.id(self.navigationButtonID)) // force new instance creation
}
.sheet(isPresented: $showSheetView) {
DetailView(isPresented: self.$showSheetView)
.onDisappear {
// update button id after sheet got closed
self.navigationButtonID = UUID()
}
}
}
}
