it's again me - learning swift.
Question is simple, i have control views like this:
[Initial]->[NotLogged]->[SignUp]
Now after sign up i have double dismiss, it's really ugly!
I wan't to go straight from SignUp to Initial page.
I tried this code but sadly it closing app without any error.
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
let controllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers
for vc in controllers! {
if vc is InitialViewController {
_ = self.navigationController?.popToViewController(vc as! InitialViewController, animated: true)
}
}
} )
pushViewController works same as above, there is output:
2020-01-29 20:30:38.342180+0100 BillyBill[44355:19540995] Can't end
BackgroundTask: no background task exists with identifier 10 (0xa), or
it may have already been ended. Break in
UIApplicationEndBackgroundTaskError() to debug.
Simply just pop to root view controller
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)
You can just use self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController() command in place of
for vc in controllers! {
if vc is InitialViewController {
_ = self.navigationController?.popToViewController(vc as! InitialViewController, animated: true)
}
}

I'm developing an iOS application but I don't have storyboard and I do pure swift code, when I try to check the authentication in the MainViewController and I use perform to go to another ViewController and if token doesn't exist show button in MainViewController I ran into this warning and it won't work.
when I use perform like the snippet below to go to another ViewController by clicking on a button it works just fine.
I've seen all the answer by the title I'm asking here but all the examples has storyboards so it's not related to my question here.
here's a snippet that I'm trying to do in my app.
if defaults.string(forKey: Constants().userTokenKey) != nil
&& defaults.string(forKey: Constants().userTokenKey) != "" {
print("YOU ARE IN ELSE!")
let vc = SelectLocationOnMapViewController()
UIApplication.topViewController()?.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1, animations: {
self.loginRegisterParentView.alpha = 1.0
})
setButtonActions()
}
The problem is here
UIApplication.topViewController()?.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
it seems you use the rootVC which isn't yet fully presented to present another Vc , you need to move this code from viewDidLoad to say viewWillAppear/viewDidAppear
I'm struggling to dismiss a UIViewController from the NavigationStack after login is completed.
The login screen is a UIViewController is presented with this line of code
let loginController = LoginController()
self.present(loginController, animated: true, completion: nil)
And then I run this code to log the user in via firebase.
Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: email, password: password) { (user, err) in
if let err = err {
print("Failed to sign in user with email", err )
}
//self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
let userProfileVC = UserProfileController()
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: userProfileVC)
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(navController, animated: true)
}
As you can see I have tried the pushViewController method, and have also tried the commented self.dismiss method? Nothing I do seems to remove the loginController UIView and take me back to the UINavigationController home screen. Can anyone help me out, thanks a lot.
you can do as this
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
let userProfileVC = UserProfileController()
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: userProfileVC)
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(navController, animated: true)
})
You might have to print your viewstack and show it to us in order to understand better but try one of these methods:
navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
or
navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)
The first method will dispose of the most recently pushed view controller, while the second will remove all but the navigation controllers "home screen" which you seek.
You can not push to particular controller while any controller is present on current controller. so you can use protocol delegate on controller which is present current controller. when delegate method called then you can push to your controller.
I have trouble in my application with swift 4.
I'd like to move my view controller automatically when my string get a value without nil. (Promatically)
However it does not work at all.
if(rst_str != nil){
let nextView = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "viewListController") as! ViewListController
//viewListController.delegate = self;
print("log storyboard");
self.present(nextView, animated: true, completion: nil);
}
The message of "log storyboard" is printed normally.
However the line of self.present is not working at all.
How can I resolve from my issue?
The line
self.present(nextView, animated: true, completion: nil);
won't work in 2 cases
1- the current vc you run this line in is currently not fully laid - out such as making it in viewDidLoad
2- the current vc is currently presenting another vc
When I dismiss an instance of MFMailComposeViewController or MFMessageComposeViewController that is presented modally from the third viewController in a navigation stack, the navigation stack is reset, and the root VC is reloaded. How can I prevent this behavior and remain on the original presenting viewController (third VC in the stack)? I get the same behavior whether I call dismiss from the presenting VC, the presented VC, or the navigationController.
This has been asked before, but I have not seen a solution.
App Structure looks like this:
TabBarController
Tab 1 - TripsNavController
-> Trips IntroductionVC (root VC) segue to:
-> TripsTableViewController segue to:
-> TripEditorContainerVC
- TripEditorVC (child of ContainerVC)
- HelpVC (child of ContainerVC)
Tab 2...
Tab 3...
Tab 4...
In the TripEditorVC I present the MFMailComposeViewController. The functions below are declared in an extension to UIViewController that adopts the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate protocol
func shareWithEmail(message: NSAttributedString) {
guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() else {
showServiceError(message: "Email Services are not available")
return
}
let composeVC = MFMailComposeViewController()
composeVC.setSubject("My Trip Plan")
composeVC.setMessageBody(getHTMLforAttributedString(attrStr: message), isHTML: true)
composeVC.mailComposeDelegate = self
present(composeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Then in the delegate method I dismiss the MFMailComposeVC:
public func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController, didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult, error: Error?) {
switch result {
case .sent:
print("Mail sent")
case .saved:
print("Mail saved")
case .cancelled:
print("Mail cancelled")
case .failed:
print("Send mail failed")
}
if error != nil {
showServiceError(message: "Error: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
}
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I have tried the following to present and dismiss and get the same behavior, i.e.: the TripsNavController clears the nav stack and reloads the TripsIntroductionVC as its root VC:
self.present(composeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
self.parent?.present(composeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
self.parent?.navigationController?.present(composeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
self.navigationController?.present(composeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
You can also check with presentingViewController?.dismiss method to get the solution.
I have tried with following navigation stack.
I am able to send email successfully from Container VC's Send Email button using your code only.
Can you please check and verify navigation flow?
Please let me know if you still face any issue.
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
to
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
Try this
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let secondViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("secondViewControllerId") as! SecondViewController
self.presentViewController(secondViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Just Use Unwind Segue its Pretty simple and perfect in your case
I have used many times..
just look at this Unwind segue's example
. If u still don't able to find answer or not able to understand the Unwind segue then just reply to me.
Hope this will solve your problem.
I found the problem with my navigation stack today. I built a simple
project that duplicated the tabBarController/NavigationControler architecture of my problem project, component by component, until dismissing a MFMailComposeViewController caused my navigation stack to reset as described in my original post.
That immediately pointed to the source of the bug. In my subclassed UINavigationCotroller I was instantiating the root viewController in code so that I could skip an introductory view if the user had set a switch in the apps settings. In order to pick up changes in that switch setting I was calling my instantiation code in viewDidAppear of the navigationController. That worked fine EXCEPT when dismissing the mailComposeVC. The fix was to add a guard statement in viewDidAppear to return if the navControllers viewController collection was not empty, and send and respond to an NSNotification when the switch was changed.
class TopNavigationController: UINavigationController {
var sectionType: SectionType?
var defaults = UserDefaults.standard
var showIntroFlag: Bool = true
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Handle initial load of the tab bar controller where we are not sent a sectionType
if sectionType == nil {
sectionType = .groups
}
setShowIntroFlag()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(resetControllers), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "kUserDidChangeShowIntros"), object: nil)
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(true)
guard self.viewControllers.isEmpty else {
return
}
loadControllers()
}
func setShowIntroFlag() {
showIntroFlag = true
// Check NSUserDefaults to see if we should hide the Intro Views for all sections
if defaults.bool(forKey: "SHOW_SECTION_INTROS") == false {
showIntroFlag = false
}
}
func loadControllers() {
if showIntroFlag == true {
showIntro()
} else {
skipIntro()
}
}
func resetControllers() {
setShowIntroFlag()
loadControllers()
}
I have an app which is a single view application. I have a navigation controller linked up to all child controllers from the root view controller.
In each child controller, I have a logout button. I'm wondering if I can have a single function I can call which will dismiss all the controllers which have been open along along the way, no matter which controller was currently open when the user presses logout?
My basic start:
func tryLogout(){
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("LoginViewController") )
self.presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I am looking for the most memory efficient way of carrying out this task. I will put my logout function in a separate utils file, but then I can't use self. And I still have the issue of knowing which controllers to dismiss dynamically.
Update
Pop to root view controller has been suggested. So my attempt is something like:
func tryLogout(ViewController : UIViewController){
print("do something")
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
ViewController.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
return
})
}
Would this be the best way to achieve what I'm after?
You can call :
self.view.window!.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil)
Should dismiss all view controllers above the root view controller.
Updated answer for Swift 4 and swift 5
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
and when you use navigationController
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)
Works for Swift 4 and Swift 5
To dismiss any unwanted residue Modal ViewControllers, I used this and worked well without retaining any navigation stack references.
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil)
self.view.window! did crash for my case possibly because its a Modal screen and had lost the reference to the window.
Swift3
navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
Take a look at how unwind segues work. Its super simple, and lets you dismiss/pop to a certain viewcontroller in the heirarchy, even if it consists of a complex navigation (nested pushed and or presented view controllers), without much code.
Here's a very good answer (by smilebot) that shows how to use unwind segues to solve your problem
https://stackoverflow.com/a/27463286/503527
To dismiss all modal Views.
Swift 5
view.window?.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
If you have a customed UITabbarController, then try dismiss top viewController in UITabbarController by:
class MainTabBarController: UITabBarController {
func aFuncLikeLogout() {
self.presentedViewController?.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil)
//......
}
}
If you have access to Navigation Controller, you can try something like this. Other solutions didn't work for me.
func popAndDismissAllControllers(animated: Bool) {
var presentedController = navigationController?.presentedViewController
while presentedController != nil {
presentedController?.dismiss(animated: animated)
presentedController = presentedController?.presentedViewController
}
navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: animated)
}
works for Swift 3.0 +
self.view.window!.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
I have figured out a generic function to dismiss all presented controllers using the completion block.
extension UIWindow {
static func keyWindow() -> UIWindow? {
UIApplication.shared.windows.filter({ $0.isKeyWindow }).first
}
}
func getVisibleViewController(_ rootViewController: UIViewController?) -> UIViewController? {
var rootVC = rootViewController
if rootVC == nil {
rootVC = UIWindow.keyWindow()?.rootViewController
}
var presented = rootVC?.presentedViewController
if rootVC?.presentedViewController == nil {
if let isTab = rootVC?.isKind(of: UITabBarController.self), let isNav = rootVC?.isKind(of: UINavigationController.self) {
if !isTab && !isNav {
return rootVC
}
presented = rootVC
} else {
return rootVC
}
}
if let presented = presented {
if presented.isKind(of: UINavigationController.self) {
if let navigationController = presented as? UINavigationController {
return navigationController.viewControllers.last!
}
}
if presented.isKind(of: UITabBarController.self) {
if let tabBarController = presented as? UITabBarController {
if let navigationController = tabBarController.selectedViewController! as? UINavigationController {
return navigationController.viewControllers.last!
} else {
return tabBarController.selectedViewController!
}
}
}
return getVisibleViewController(presented)
}
return nil
}
func dismissedAllAlert(completion: (() -> Void)? = nil) {
if let alert = UIViewController.getVisibleViewController(nil) {
// If you want to dismiss a specific kind of presented controller then
// comment upper line and uncomment below one
// if let alert = UIViewController.getVisibleViewController(nil) as? UIAlertController {
alert.dismiss(animated: true) {
self.dismissedAllAlert(completion: completion)
}
} else {
completion?()
}
}
Note: You call anywhere in code at any class
Use:-
dismissedAllAlert() // For dismiss all presented controller
dismissedAllAlert { // For dismiss all presented controller with completion block
// your code
}
Swift
Used this to jump directly on your ROOT Navigation controller.
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)
