TapGesture doesn't work under tabBar - ios

I have a "classic app" with 3 ViewController and a tabBar that I use to change ViewController.
On my first ViewController, I have a button that display a UIView on all the screen, so I hide tabBar with this setTabBarVisible func :
extension UIViewController
{
func setTabBarVisible(visible: Bool, animated: Bool)
{
//* This cannot be called before viewDidLayoutSubviews(), because the frame is not set before this time
// bail if the current state matches the desired state
if (isTabBarVisible == visible) { return }
// get a frame calculation ready
let frame = self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame
let height = frame?.size.height
let offsetY = (visible ? -height! : height)
// zero duration means no animation
let duration: TimeInterval = (animated ? 0.3 : 0.0)
// animate the tabBar
if frame != nil
{
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration)
{
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame = frame!.offsetBy(dx: 0, dy: offsetY!)
return
}
}
}
var isTabBarVisible: Bool
{
return (self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame.origin.y ?? 0) < self.view.frame.maxY
}
}
That's working, the tabBar is hidden and I see all my UIVIew.
The problem is, I have a UILabel at bottom of the UIView (at the place I usually display the tabBar), and I can't use my TapGesture on my UILabel, nothing is happening.
(if I display the label somewhere else the UITapGesture works good.)
I tried to set zPosition of my tabBar to 0 and zPosition of my UIView to 1 but that's doesn't work either.
How can I get my label clickable at bottom of my view?

Check UILabel.isUserInterration = enable
Make sure that when you hide tabbar, perticular view controller Under bottom bar property is unselect . See atteh imnage.
You can try with programatically also like
ViewController.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.top

make sure is true
label.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
Please refer this link may it help you.

Managing view frame when hide and unhide a tabbar

I have a UIViewController that has tab bar controller at bottom. When user click on a button I m hiding the tab bar. Tab bar is getting hidden but there is a white space at bottom. ViewController frame is not changing. How to manage this ? If tabor controller gets hidden, viewController height should get increase.
func apply(_ effect: ActivityFeedEffect) {
switch effect {
case .feedTypeChange(mode: let mode):
self.parent?.tabBarController?.tabBar.isHidden = mode == .hidden
}
}
This is an extension on UITabBarController, which you can use.
This basically, updates the frames of the view.
You can add animation and other frame handling if needed, based on your use case. But this is something that can lead you in that direction.
extension UITabBarController {
func hideTabBar(isHidden:Bool) {
if (isTabBarAlreadyHidden() == isHidden) { return }
let frame = self.tabBar.frame
let height = frame.size.height
let offsetY = (isHidden ? -height : height)
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()
}
func isTabBarAlreadyHidden() ->Bool {
return self.tabBar.frame.origin.y < UIScreen.main.bounds.height
}
}
In my case, I have configured on the storyboard the extended Edges to go under bottom bars and under opaque bars (see image). So My view always takes the hole screen, and I don't need to adjust the frame. Maybe this helps.
My structure is Tab bar -> Navigation Controller -> TableView (here I hide/show the tab bar)

Increase uitablview height while run time to content entire content

I created an app with Swift 3 and Xcode 8.1. I have a UITableview and a UIView above it that shows and hides by clicking on a button in it. When the UIView appears, the last cell of UITableview does not show completely.
I use following code in button:
func filterShowHide ()
{
if !isShown
{
filterImage.image = UIImage(named: "ME-Filter-re")
self.filterView.isHidden = false
self.tableViewTop.constant = 0
// tableViewHeight.constant = tableViewHeight.constant * 1.5
isShown = true
}
else
{
filterImage.image = UIImage(named: "ME-Filter")
self.tableViewTop.constant = -(self.HeaderView.frame.height) + self.filterBTN.frame.size.height
self.filterView.isHidden = true
isShown = false
// tableViewHeight.constant = tableViewHeight.constant / 1.5
}
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
For more details here's the screenshot of:
Before clicking and After clicking
How can I show the last cell completely?
I think the problem is your tableview height is still the same and it gets pushed down as you update the top constraint.
You should set the table view bottom constraint to bottom of its super view or you can update tableView.contentInset.top with the values you are using for self.tableViewTop.constant

Hiding the tabbar and removing the space

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!

#implementation UITabBarController (HideTabBar)

[UIView animateWithDuration:.5 animations:^{
self.tabBar.frame = tabBarFrame;
transitionView.frame = containerFrame;
[self.selectedViewController.view setNeedsLayout];
}];
}
#end
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.

Sliding a UIView down and then back up

I have a UIView that is will slide down on button tap and then slide back up on another button tap. It slides down perfectly, but when I try to hit the contract button, I can't click it, but it does click a collection view cell that is underneath the view. I can't figure out why it slides down properly but it doesn't function how I expect. Thanks a lot!
#IBAction func onExpandButtonPressed(sender: UIButton) {
let xPosition = expandingView.frame.origin.x
//View will slide to 40 px higher bottom of the screen
let yPosition = expandingView.frame.maxY - 40
let height = expandingView.frame.size.height
let width = expandingView.frame.size.width
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.5, animations: {
self.expandingView.frame = CGRectMake(xPosition, yPosition, height, width)
self.expandButton.hidden = true
self.contractButton.hidden = false
})
}
#IBAction func onContractButtonPressed(sender: UIButton) {
let xPosition = expandingView.frame.origin.x
let yPosition = expandingView.frame.origin.y
let height = expandingView.frame.size.height
let width = expandingView.frame.size.width
UIView.animateWithDuration(1.0, animations: {
self.expandingView.frame = CGRectMake(xPosition, yPosition, height, width)
self.expandButton.hidden = false
self.contractButton.hidden = true
})
}
Perhaps it's because the view has slid over the button. So try to use the following inside the button action that will slide over the non-working button:
self.view.bringSubViewToFront(buttonName)
If you put an NSLog inside your button Action, it can help determine if the function is being called.

Customise Position of UIPageControl

I am using project from github as a reference.
project URL:
https://github.com/lephuocdai/iOSsample/tree/master/PageViewDemo
In this project i want to show the UIPageControl at top left position .
I tried setting the rect property of pageControl using CGRectMake() to some value ;But it shows always at bottom center
here s a very neat and 100% effective way to get to change the position of the pageControl
extension UIPageViewController {
override open func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
for subV in self.view.subviews {
if type(of: subV).description() == "UIPageControl" {
let pos = CGPoint(x: newX, y: newY)
subV.frame = CGRect(origin: pos, size: subV.frame.size)
}
}
}
}
The project uses a UIPageViewController to handle the display and movement through the content.
You can supply data to that object so it displays a UIPageControl as you say.
BUT you have no control over the display of that item, other than maybe some colour styling.
If you want to position it, you'll need to implement you're own instance of UIPageControl and handle it's content, position and changes manually.
Override the viewDidLayoutSubviews() of the pageviewcontroller and use this
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
// get pageControl and scroll view from view's subviews
let pageControl = view.subviews.filter{ $0 is UIPageControl }.first! as! UIPageControl
let scrollView = view.subviews.filter{ $0 is UIScrollView }.first! as! UIScrollView
// remove all constraint from view that are tied to pagecontrol
let const = view.constraints.filter { $0.firstItem as? NSObject == pageControl || $0.secondItem as? NSObject == pageControl }
view.removeConstraints(const)
// customize pagecontroll
pageControl.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
pageControl.addConstraint(pageControl.heightAnchor.constraintEqualToConstant(35))
pageControl.backgroundColor = view.backgroundColor
// create constraints for pagecontrol
let leading = pageControl.leadingAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.leadingAnchor)
let trailing = pageControl.trailingAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.trailingAnchor)
let bottom = pageControl.bottomAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(scrollView.topAnchor, constant:8) // add to scrollview not view
// pagecontrol constraint to view
view.addConstraints([leading, trailing, bottom])
view.bounds.origin.y -= pageControl.bounds.maxY
}
is your page control encompassed within some other View, if so then you may be setting the co-ordinates wrong, try to put log of your page control.frame so as to know where it lies
If using storyboards, place a UIPageControl object using the menu in the bottom right and set constraints.
If using frames, just programmatically add it:
var pageControl = UIPageControl()
pageControl.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,0,0) <- These are the coordinates.
self.view.addSubView(pageControl)
if you set the frame for UIPageControl , it doesnot work.
Other than this you can set the transform.
[_pageControl setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(100, 0.0)];
enjoy coding
