I have a UIViewController that is embedded in a UINavigationController. The navigation item for this view controller is a UISegmentedControl with 3 segments. I'm trying to find a way to add a "new" badge to each of the segments. It appears that UISegmentedControl does not normally allow you to do this but I was thinking that for my purposes, perhaps I could simulate this using a custom UIView positioned at the left or right edge of each segment. I know I can get the width of the UISegmentedControl and since the auto-size mode is set to "equal widths", it seems reasonable that I could simply divide the total width by 3 to determine the approximate width of each segment.
However, there are a couple of things that I'm not sure about:
Is it possible to determine the x/y position of the UISegmentedControl within the navigation bar so I know where to position the custom view(s)?
Is it then possible to add a custom view at these positions inside the space contained by the navigation bar?
Add Views above the Segment Control, put constraint.
In ViewDidLoad() use the code
self.badge1.addSubview(self.addCounter(count: 0))
self.badge2.addSubview(self.addCounter(count: 9))
Use this function to make badge counter
func addCounter(count: Int)->UIView {
// Count > 0, show count
if count > 0 {
// Create label
let fontSize: CGFloat = 10
let label = UILabel()
label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: fontSize)
label.textAlignment = .center
label.textColor = .white
label.backgroundColor = .red
// Add count to label and size to fit
label.text = "\(NSNumber(value: count))"
label.sizeToFit()
// Adjust frame to be square for single digits or elliptical for numbers > 9
var frame: CGRect = label.frame
frame.size.height += CGFloat(Int(0.4 * fontSize))
frame.size.width = (count <= 9) ? frame.size.height : frame.size.width + CGFloat(Int(fontSize))
label.frame = frame
// Set radius and clip to bounds
label.layer.cornerRadius = frame.size.height / 2.0
label.clipsToBounds = true
// Show label in accessory view and remove disclosure
return label
} else {
return UIView()
}
}
And final result
For those wanting to access the image views via the index, I created an extension, but it's not ideal, as it has to check whether the image data is equal, but works so far for me
extension UISegmentedControl {
func getImageView(at index: Int) -> UIImageView? {
guard let image = imageForSegment(at: index) else { return nil }
let imageViews = subviews.compactMap { $0.subviews.first(where: { $0 is UIImageView }) as? UIImageView }
return imageViews.first(where: {
return $0.image?.isEqualTo(image: image) == true
})
}
}
extension UIImage {
func isEqualTo(image: UIImage) -> Bool {
guard let data1 = image.pngData() else { return false }
guard let data2 = self.pngData() else { return false }
return data1 == data2
}
}
I have my UISearchBar being part of the navigation bar like:
let searchBar = UISearchBar()
//some more configuration to the search bar
.....
navigationItem.titleView = searchBar
After updating to iOS 11 something weird happened to the search bar in my app. On iOS 10 and prior I had my navigation bar looking like:
Now with iOS 11 I have:
As you can see there is difference in the rounding of the two search bars which does not bothers me. The problem is that the search bar increases the height of the navigation bar. So when I go to another controller it looks weird too:
In fact that weird black line's height plus the current navigation bar's height is equal to the height of navigation bar shown in the second picture ...
Any ideas how to get rid of the black line and having consistent navigation bar height across all view controllers ?
I got black line under NavigationBar with SearchBar in iOS 11 in two cases:
when i pushed another ViewControllers from ViewController with UISearchBar
when i dismissed ViewController with UISearchBar with "drag right to dismiss"
My solution was: adding this code to my ViewController with UISearchBar:
-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
[self.navigationController.view setNeedsLayout]; // force update layout
[self.navigationController.view layoutIfNeeded]; // to fix height of the navigation bar
}
Swift 4 Update
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
navigationController?.view.setNeedsLayout() // force update layout
navigationController?.view.layoutIfNeeded() // to fix height of the navigation bar
}
You can add a constraint of height 44 to the search bar for iOS 11.
// Swift
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
searchBar.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 44).isActive = true
}
// Objective-C
if (#available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
[searchBar.heightAnchor constraintEqualToConstant:44].active = YES;
}
I believe in iOS 11 UISearchBar now has the height equals to 56, and UINavigationBar uses autolayout to fit its subviews hence it increases the height. If you still want to have UISearchBar as titleView as in pre-iOS 11, I found out the best way to do it is to embed UISearchBar in a custom view, and set this view's height to 44, and assign it to navigationItem.titleView
class SearchBarContainerView: UIView {
let searchBar: UISearchBar
init(customSearchBar: UISearchBar) {
searchBar = customSearchBar
super.init(frame: CGRect.zero)
addSubview(searchBar)
}
override convenience init(frame: CGRect) {
self.init(customSearchBar: UISearchBar())
self.frame = frame
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
searchBar.frame = bounds
}
}
class MyViewController: UIViewController {
func setupNavigationBar() {
let searchBar = UISearchBar()
let searchBarContainer = SearchBarContainerView(customSearchBar: searchBar)
searchBarContainer.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: 44)
navigationItem.titleView = searchBarContainer
}
}
try this code on "ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" view controller
in viewDidLoad
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
Thank you all! I finally found a solution.
Adding the following code to ViewController with UISearchBar.
First step: viewDidLoad
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;
...
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
}
Second step:viewWillDisappear
-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
// force update layout
[self.navigationController.view setNeedsLayout];
// to fix height of the navigation bar
[self.navigationController.view layoutIfNeeded];
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
navigationController?.view.setNeedsLayout() // force update layout
navigationController?.view.layoutIfNeeded() // to fix height of the navigation bar
}
In Objective-C
if (#available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
[self.searchBar.heightAnchor constraintLessThanOrEqualToConstant: 44].active = YES;
}
This happen to me too, all running well in iOS 12.4 and getting weird in 13 above.
The problem is in iOS 13 navigation bar height increase from 88 to 100 after jump from UIViewController that implement searchBar.
Try this in your UIViewController that implement searchBar.
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
navigationController?.view.setNeedsLayout()
navigationController?.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}

EDIT: The #zgjie answer is a better solution for this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46356265/1713123
It seems this happens because in iOS 11 the default height value of SearchBar was changed to 56, instead 44 on previous iOS versions.
For now, I've applied this workaround, setting searchBar height back to 44:
let barFrame = searchController.searchBar.frame
searchController.searchBar.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: barFrame.width, height: 44)
Another solution could be use the new searchController property on navigationItem in iOS 11:
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
But this way da searchBar appears below navigation title.
All solution didn't work for me so before I pushed view controller I did:
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
self.navigationItem.titleView = UIView()
}
And to make search bar present when going back:
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.navigationItem.titleView = UISearchBar()
}
I couldn't use the solution of keeping the navBar at 44.
So it took me a day but finally, I found a solution that doesn't change the bar height and position the button in the middle of the bar. The issue is that the buttons are placed in a stack view which is configured as Horizontal stack view and therefore doesn't adjust to the height change.
This is done on init:
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton;
if (#available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
// For iOS11 creating custom button to accomadate the change of navbar + search bar being 56 points
self.navBarCustomButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[self.navBarCustomButton setTitle:#"Cancel"];
[self.navBarCustomButton addTarget:self action:#selector(cancelButtonTapped) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.navBarCustomButton];
} else {
cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:MagicLocalizedString(#"button.cancel", #"Cancel")
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(cancelButtonTapped)];
}
on viewWillApear (or anytime after the view was added to the navigation stack)
if (#available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
UIView *buttonsStackView = [navigationController.navigationBar subviewOfClass:[UIStackView class]];
if (buttonsStackView ) {
[buttonsStackView.centerYAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:navigationController.navigationBar.centerYAnchor].active = YES;
[self.navBarCustomButton.heightAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:buttonsStackView.heightAnchor];
}
}
And subviewOfClass is a category on UIView:
- (__kindof UIView *)subviewOfClass:(Class)targetClass {
// base case
if ([self isKindOfClass:targetClass]) {
return self;
}
// recursive
for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
UIView *dfsResult = [subview subviewOfClass:targetClass];
if (dfsResult) {
return dfsResult;
}
}
return nil;
}
All you have to do is to subclass UISearchBar and override "intrinsicContentSize":
#implementation CJSearchBar
-(CGSize)intrinsicContentSize{
CGSize s = [super intrinsicContentSize];
s.height = 44;
return s;
}
#end
Unable to comment, but wanted to share some additional issues I ran into while spending many hours trying to get to the bottom of this issue even after using one of the other solutions.
It appears the best fix for me was Andrew's answer:
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
navigationController?.view.setNeedsLayout() // force update layout
navigationController?.view.layoutIfNeeded() // to fix height of the navigation bar
}
However, at the very least in iOS 12.1, if your UINavigationBar:
has isTranslucent set to false, the View Controller with the search bar appears to not get it's view's layout adjusted back when interactively dismissing (normal dismissing via back button appears to work).
has it's background image set using setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default), the transition animation doesn't work properly and will jump back to its position after finishing.
These particular properties were set to get the Navigation Bar to appear in a certain way however, so I need to do some adjusting to get it back, or put up with the weird behaviour. Will try to remember to update the above if I run into anything else or find other solutions or differences in other OS versions.
In my case, bigger UINavigationBar's height wasn't a problem for me. I just needed to realign left and right bar button items. That's the solution i've come up with:
- (void)iOS11FixNavigationItemsVerticalAlignment
{
[self.navigationController.navigationBar layoutIfNeeded];
NSString * currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
if ([currSysVer compare:#"11" options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
{
UIView * navigationBarContentView;
for (UIView * subview in [self.navigationController.navigationBar subviews])
{
if ([subview isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(#"_UINavigationBarContentView")])
{
navigationBarContentView = subview;
break;
}
}
if (navigationBarContentView)
{
for (UIView * subview in [navigationBarContentView subviews])
{
if (![subview isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(#"_UIButtonBarStackView")]) continue;
NSLayoutConstraint * topSpaceConstraint;
NSLayoutConstraint * bottomSpaceConstraint;
CGFloat topConstraintMultiplier = 1.0f;
CGFloat bottomConstraintMultiplier = 1.0f;
for (NSLayoutConstraint * constraint in navigationBarContentView.constraints)
{
if (constraint.firstItem == subview && constraint.firstAttribute == NSLayoutAttributeTop)
{
topSpaceConstraint = constraint;
break;
}
if (constraint.secondItem == subview && constraint.secondAttribute == NSLayoutAttributeTop)
{
topConstraintMultiplier = -1.0f;
topSpaceConstraint = constraint;
break;
}
}
for (NSLayoutConstraint * constraint in navigationBarContentView.constraints)
{
if (constraint.firstItem == subview && constraint.firstAttribute == NSLayoutAttributeBottom)
{
bottomSpaceConstraint = constraint;
break;
}
if (constraint.secondItem == subview && constraint.secondAttribute == NSLayoutAttributeBottom)
{
bottomConstraintMultiplier = -1.0f;
bottomSpaceConstraint = constraint;
break;
}
}
CGFloat contentViewHeight = navigationBarContentView.frame.size.height;
CGFloat subviewHeight = subview.frame.size.height;
topSpaceConstraint.constant = topConstraintMultiplier * (contentViewHeight - subviewHeight) / 2.0f;
bottomSpaceConstraint.constant = bottomConstraintMultiplier * (contentViewHeight - subviewHeight) / 2.0f;
}
}
}
}
Basically, we search for stack views that contain bar button items and then changing their's top and bottom constraints values. Yeah, it's a dirt hack, and won't recommend to use it if you can fix your issue in any other way.

I found Mai Mai's solution to be the only one that's really usable.
However it's still not perfect:
When rotating the device, the search bar is not properly resized and remains in the smaller dimension.
I have found a fix for that. Here is my code in Objective C with the relevant parts annotated:
// improvements in the search bar wrapper
#interface SearchBarWrapper : UIView
#property (nonatomic, strong) UISearchBar *searchBar;
- (instancetype)initWithSearchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar;
#end
#implementation SearchBarWrapper
- (instancetype)initWithSearchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
// setting width to a large value fixes stretch-on-rotation
self = [super initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 4000, 44)];
if (self) {
self.searchBar = searchBar;
[self addSubview:searchBar];
}
return self;
}
- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
self.searchBar.frame = self.bounds;
}
// fixes width some cases of resizing while search is active
- (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size {
return size;
}
#end
// then use it in your VC
#implementation MyViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationItem.titleView = [[SearchBarWrapper alloc] initWithSearchBar:self.searchController.searchBar];
}
#end
Now there is still one case left that I haven't figured out yet. To reproduce do the following:
- start in portrait
- activate search field
- rotate to landscape
- error: the bar doesn't resize
I fixed this by added the constraint to viewDidAppear on the map view controller where the search bar is embedded
public override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
resultSearchController?.searchBar.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 44).isActive = true
// searchBar.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 44).isActive = true
}
}
Hi to the people who uses UISearchController and then attaching its UISearchBar to the navigationItem.titleView. I've spend a crazy 4-5 hours of my day to solve this. Following the iOS 11+ recommended approach, which is putting the searchController to the navigation.searchController is not just right for my case. The screen that has this searchController/searchBar has a backButton, a custom one.
I have tested this in iOS 10, iOS 11, and 12. In different devices. I just had to. I can't go home without solving this demon. This is the most perfect I could do for today, given my tight deadline.
So I just wanna share this hard work that I did, it's up to you to put everything into where ever you want (ex. variables in your viewModel). Here it goes:
In my first screen (say home screen, that does not have this search controller), I have this in my viewDidLoad().
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
In my second screen, the one that has the searchController, I have this in my viewDidAppear.
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let systemMajorVersion = ProcessInfo.processInfo.operatingSystemVersion.majorVersion
if systemMajorVersion < 12 {
// Place the search bar in the navigation item's title view.
self.navigationItem.titleView = self.searchController.searchBar
}
if systemMajorVersion >= 11 {
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setNeedsLayout()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.layoutIfNeeded()
}
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: -40, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
if self.viewHadAppeared {
self.tableView.contentInset = .zero
}
}
self.viewHadAppeared = true // this is set to false by default.
}
and here's my searchController's declaration:
lazy var searchController: UISearchController = {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.searchBar.textField?.backgroundColor = .lalaDarkWhiteColor
searchController.searchBar.textField?.tintColor = .lalaDarkGray
searchController.searchBar.backgroundColor = .white
return searchController
}()
So I hope this helps someone someday.
I tried various things to get the size back to the original 44, but then the search bar always looks and behaves weird - like being to far stretched, y-offset and alike.
I found a nice solution here (via some other stackoverflow post):
https://github.com/DreamTravelingLight/searchBarDemo
Just derive your viewcontroller from the SearchViewController and include in your project the SearchViewController and WMSearchbar classes. Worked out of the box for me without any ugly if (iOS11) else... uglyness.
In my case, I have to decrease the textField's height 36pt -> 28pt.
So I tried to change the frame's height, layer's height. But the ways didn't work.
Finally, I found a solution that's the mask.
I think, It's not a good way but it works.
let textField = searchBar.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField
textField?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14.0, weight: .regular)
textField?.textColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.1960784314, green: 0.1960784314, blue: 0.1960784314, alpha: 1)
textField?.textAlignment = .left
if #available(iOS 11, *) {
let radius: CGFloat = 5.0
let magnifyIconWidth: CGFloat = 16.0
let inset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 4.0, left: 0, bottom: 4.0, right: 0)
let path = CGMutablePath()
path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: searchBar.bounds.size.width - radius - inset.right - magnifyIconWidth, y: inset.top + radius), radius: radius, startAngle: .pi * 3.0/2.0, endAngle: .pi*2.0, clockwise: false) // Right top
path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: searchBar.bounds.size.width - radius - inset.right - magnifyIconWidth, y: searchBar.bounds.size.height - radius - inset.bottom), radius: radius, startAngle: 0, endAngle: .pi/2.0, clockwise: false) // Right Bottom
path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: inset.left + radius, y: searchBar.bounds.size.height - radius - inset.bottom), radius: radius, startAngle: .pi/2.0, endAngle: .pi, clockwise: false) // Left Bottom
path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: inset.left + radius, y: inset.top + radius), radius: radius, startAngle: .pi, endAngle: .pi * 3.0/2.0, clockwise: false) // Left top
let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
maskLayer.path = path
maskLayer.fillRule = kCAFillRuleEvenOdd
textField?.layer.mask = maskLayer
}
You can change the insets, if you want to change the textField's frame.
Is there a way to hide tabbar and remove that space left (around 50px) ?
I tried
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.hidden = true
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
No luck. I see blank space.
If you're still seeing a black stripe under your hidden tab bar, have you tried to select Extend Edges Under Opaque Bars here?
Make also sure that Under Bottom Bars is still selected. Hope it helps!
Swift 3:
extension UITabBarController {
func setTabBarVisible(visible:Bool, duration: TimeInterval, animated:Bool) {
if (tabBarIsVisible() == visible) { return }
let frame = self.tabBar.frame
let height = frame.size.height
let offsetY = (visible ? -height : height)
// animation
UIViewPropertyAnimator(duration: duration, curve: .linear) {
self.tabBar.frame.offsetBy(dx:0, dy:offsetY)
self.view.frame = CGRect(x:0,y:0,width: self.view.frame.width, height: self.view.frame.height + offsetY)
self.view.setNeedsDisplay()
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}.startAnimation()
}
func tabBarIsVisible() ->Bool {
return self.tabBar.frame.origin.y < UIScreen.main.bounds.height
}
}
To use (if for example self is a UITabBarController):
self.setTabBarVisible(visible: false, duration: 0.3, animated: true)
Swift 2.x:
extension UITabBarController {
func setTabBarVisible(visible:Bool, duration: NSTimeInterval, animated:Bool) {
if (tabBarIsVisible() == visible) { return }
let frame = self.tabBar.frame
let height = frame.size.height
let offsetY = (visible ? -height : height)
// animation
UIView.animateWithDuration(animated ? duration : 0.0) {
self.tabBar.frame = CGRectOffset(frame, 0, offsetY)
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height + offsetY)
self.view.setNeedsDisplay()
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
func tabBarIsVisible() ->Bool {
return self.tabBar.frame.origin.y < UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height
}
}
To use:
self.tabBarController?.setTabBarVisible(visible: false, duration: 0.3, animated: true)
After saw your screenshot in comment. I think you can try to set hidesBottomBarWhenPushed to true.
hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true
Or storyboard.
It will hide bottom bar automatically when you pushed to another view controller, and appear it again when you go back.
Programmatically, add this to the next view controller for swift 4.
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = true
edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.bottom
extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
}
And add a background color
NOTE - This solution is to just to remove white space left after hiding tab bar.
For hiding tab bar best solution is - #Michael Campsall answer here
The simplest solution to this is to change your view's(in my case its tableView) bottom constraints, instead of giving bottom constraints with BottomLayoutGuide give it with superview. Screenshots attached for reference.
Constraints shown in below screenshots creates the problem, change it according to next screenshot.
Actual constraints to remove white space should be according to this(below) screenshot.
For those that like to do everything programmatically, add this line to the init method of a ViewController that shouldn't have the tabBar:
hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true
I was facing the same issue and root cause was BOTTOM CONSTRAINT
Make sure you set the bottom constraint of your bottom most view in the main view hierarchy with SUPERVIEW, NOT "SAFE AREA"
Hope this helps someone..
The third answer on this question works for me in the following way:
The code on my view controller
#IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
setTabBarVisible(!tabBarIsVisible(), animated: true)
}
func setTabBarVisible(visible: Bool, animated: Bool) {
// hide tab bar
let frame = self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame
let height = frame?.size.height
var offsetY = (visible ? -height! : height)
print ("offsetY = \(offsetY)")
// zero duration means no animation
let duration:NSTimeInterval = (animated ? 0.3 : 0.0)
// animate tabBar
if frame != nil {
UIView.animateWithDuration(duration) {
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame = CGRectOffset(frame!, 0, offsetY!)
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height + offsetY!)
self.view.setNeedsDisplay()
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
return
}
}
}
func tabBarIsVisible() -> Bool {
return self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame.origin.y < UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height
}
In storyboard:
The view controller main view background color is black color:
Then you could have another view inside (background color white), constrained trailing and leading space to superview and top and bottom space to the layout guide.
And the result is:
My preferred way to do that is using a wrapping controller. If I want to hide the tab bar, I just increase the height of the tab bar controller, thus effectively the tab bar is moved out of the screen.
With this solution you don't need to hack tab bar frame and you don't depend on navigation controller push animation:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let tabController: UITabBarController = {
let tabController = UITabBarController()
// setup your tabbar controller here
return tabController;
}()
var tabbarHidden = false {
didSet {
var frame = self.view.bounds;
if (tabbarHidden) {
frame.size.height += self.tabController.tabBar.bounds.size.height;
}
self.tabController.view.frame = frame;
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// add the tab controller as child controller
addChildViewController(self.tabController)
self.tabController.view.frame = self.view.bounds
self.tabController.view.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]
self.view.addSubview(self.tabController.view)
self.tabController.didMoveToParentViewController(self)
// for debugging
let tapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(switchTabbar))
self.tabController.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapRecognizer)
}
override func childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle() -> UIViewController? {
return self.tabController
}
override func childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden() -> UIViewController? {
return self.tabController
}
func switchTabbar() {
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) {
self.tabbarHidden = !self.tabbarHidden
}
}
}
try to set the tab bar translucent to before you hide the tab bar set to false again when you want to show again.
it works for me.
tabBarController?.tabBar.isTranslucent = true
Yes. You can hide your tab bar when you push to view controller. You can show tab bar in your home. You can hide your tab bar when you push to next View controller.
See the Hide Botton Bar on Push following image and set in all viewcontrollers where you dont want tab bar.
Hope it helps..
Sometimes that easiest way is just to add a view that uses the UIScreen bounds.
let whiteView = UIView()
whiteView.backgroundColor = .white
view.addSubview(whiteView)
whiteView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
whiteView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
whiteView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true
whiteView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true
whiteView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: UIScreen.main.bounds.height).isActive = true
Cause sometimes the view edges extends beyond the nav bar giving you new problems if you extend the view layout.
Tested in Swift 5.4.
If you're adding any ViewController's view as subview programmatically and not using pushViewController, then you can simply try as follows:
// When you wanna hide TabBar
tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = true
tabBarController?.tabBar.isTranslucent = true // This is the key point!
// When you wanna show TabBar
tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = false
tabBarController?.tabBar.isTranslucent = false // This is the key point!
This code works on iOS 10, 11, and iPhone X (including simulators) to show/hide the tabBar. I created it several years (iOS 7 time frame?) and it has worked reliably since that time.
It works great on iPhone X as long as content content in your childViewControllers (in tabs) is pinned to topLayoutGuide, bottomLayoutGuide or SafeArea and not the main views walls. Then it all just works. Enjoy!

Usage - I call it in the viewController on rotation events like so:
-(void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation
{
[super didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:fromInterfaceOrientation];
// Hide TabBar on iPhone, iPod Touch
if([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom != UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
if(_startDateEditor.editing) return;
if(fromInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown || fromInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
[self.tabBarController setTabBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
else
[self.tabBarController setTabBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
}
}
For me in iOS 13 I had to display image in cell with full screen, I had collection view with trailing, leading, top, bottom constraint. I removed all constraint. set collection view frame to UIScreen.main.bounds. then return sizeForItemAt as collection frame size.
