I have a project that is making use of https://github.com/Orderella/PopupDialog for popup dialogs which works very well.
A dialog is created an presenting like:
let ratingVC = PopupViewController(nibName: "PopupViewController", bundle: nil)
ratingVC.apiKey = self.apiKey
ratingVC.accountNumberString = accountNumberString
let popup = PopupDialog(viewController: ratingVC, buttonAlignment: .horizontal, transitionStyle: .bounceDown, gestureDismissal: true)
ratingVC.presentedPopup = popup
self.present(popup, animated: true, completion: nil)
Which allows for custom view controller work within the popup. Within the PopupViewController the PopupDialog might get dismissed using self.dismiss(animated: true)
This works well however I'm not sure how the launching view controller (where self.present is run) would get notified that the PopupDialog has been dismissed.
I have tried
override func dismiss(animated flag: Bool, completion: (() -> Void)?)
{
super.dismiss(animated: flag, completion:completion)
}
In the launching view controller but this doesn't get called.
You could create a PopupViewControllerDelegate like the one described in this SO answer, something like this.
protocol PopupViewControllerDelegate:class {
func viewControllerDidDismiss(_ sender: PopupViewController)
}
class PopupViewController: UIViewController {
...
weak var delegate: PopupViewControllerDelegate?
...
}
and call it when the ViewController is dismissed.
Then implement PopupViewControllerDelegate protocol in the launching view controller and set it when the PopupViewController is created:
let ratingVC = PopupViewController(nibName: "PopupViewController", bundle: nil)
ratingVC.delegate = self
...
Based on the docs of the PopupDialog you're using, the buttons of the popup have completion blocks, in which you can catch if the dialog is going to be dismissed or not.
OR the easiest way you can do right now is to add the completion block in your PopupDialog instantiation.
Like so:
From:
let popup = PopupDialog(viewController: ratingVC, buttonAlignment: .horizontal, transitionStyle: .bounceDown, gestureDismissal: true)
To:
let popup = PopupDialog(viewController: ratingVC, buttonAlignment: .horizontal, transitionStyle: .bounceDown, gestureDismissal: true) {
print("PopupDialog has been dismissed! ✅")
}
Let me know if this helps!

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 created a custom alert in a viewcontroller, following the guidelines of the most voted answer of that question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/37275840/6196609
I use this to display the alert, it is used as a "loading".
let pending = UIAlertController()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
[…]
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let pending = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("alertaLoad")
pending.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
pending.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.CrossDissolve
[…]
}
to show:
self.presentViewController(self.pending, animated: true, completion: nil)
I succeeded in showing it, but I need to terminate it by the viewcontroller that invoked it after the end of my process, not by itself as was done in the example I quoted.
I've tried this but nothing happens.
self.pending.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: { (vetor) -> Void in
[…]
})
How could I do this correctly?
Call dismisson the presenting UIViewController, not on the presented one:
self.dismiss(animated: true) {
// go on
}
I want to reproduce the functionality of the UIAlertController as the class isn't very customisable. So here is what I did:
Create a DeleteDeckViewController that only has two buttons Yes, and No, with a callback method
class DeleteDeckViewController: UIViewController {
var deleteDeck : ((deleteDeck : Bool) -> ())?
#IBAction func yesButton(sender: AnyObject) {
deleteDeck!(deleteDeck: true)
}
#IBAction func noButton(sender: AnyObject) {
deleteDeck!(deleteDeck: false)
}
}
In the main view controller when the delete button is pressed it creates a popup DeleteDeck
func handleDelete(detailDeckView: DetailDeckView) {
let deleteDeckViewController = DeleteDeckViewController(nibName: "DeleteDeckViewController", bundle: nil)
let popup = PopupDialog(viewController: deleteDeckViewController, transitionStyle: .BounceDown, buttonAlignment: .Horizontal, gestureDismissal: true)
presentViewController(popup, animated: true, completion: nil)
deleteDeckViewController.deleteDeck(true) { () -> Void in
print("Deck deleted")
}
}
What I want to do is to use a callback to tell my main view controller whether the user pressed yes or no and then do some actions depending on yes or no. Although, I don't know the correct way to do it. I've read a few articles on callbacks, but I don't know how to apply it in this situation. I've tried using delegates it's just that I would need to pass the DetailDeckView object around without it being used so that's why I thought callback would be a better choice.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?
Within DeleteDeckViewController you have declared the deleteDeck variable as a function. Therefore, when you use an instance of this class, you need to set it as a variable. Therefore you code would look more like that below (untested):
func handleDelete(detailDeckView: DetailDeckView) {
let deleteDeckViewController = DeleteDeckViewController(nibName: "DeleteDeckViewController", bundle: nil)
deleteDeckViewController.deleteDeck = myDeleteHandler
let popup = PopupDialog(viewController: deleteDeckViewController, transitionStyle: .BounceDown, buttonAlignment: .Horizontal, gestureDismissal: true)
presentViewController(popup, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func myDeleteHandler(shouldDelete: Bool) {
if shouldDelete {
print("Delete deck")
}
}
Also, in your code, rather than using deleteDeck! which will fail if deleteDeck is nil, it is better practice to use code like:
if let deleteDeck = self.deleteDeck {
deleteDeck(true)
}
This will create a local non-Optional variable called deleteDeck, that can be assured to not contain nil.
You could build this code into DeleteDeckViewController to streamline further:
class DeleteDeckViewController: ....
func showDialog(vc: UIViewController, completion: ((deleteDeck : Bool) -> Void)?) {
self.deleteDeck = completion
let popup = PopupDialog(viewController: vc, transitionStyle: .BounceDown, buttonAlignment: .Horizontal, gestureDismissal: true)
presentViewController(popup, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
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)
AppDelegate
initialViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("LoginViewController")as! UIViewController
}
self.window?.rootViewController = initialViewController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
Takes me to LoginViewController
let vc = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("CardsNavController") as? UIViewController
self.presentViewController(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
I click on the login button takes me to CardsViewController
func goToProfile(button: UIBarButtonItem) {
pageController.goToPreviousVC()
}
Clicking on back button which is part of the UINavigationController runs goToProfile (above) and takes me to ViewController.swift because that's where the pageController is declared.
let pageController = ViewController(transitionStyle: UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyle.Scroll, navigationOrientation: UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientation.Horizontal, options: nil)
The error shows up here
func goToPreviousVC() {
//let currentControllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers
if viewControllers.isEmpty {
setViewControllers([profileVC], direction: UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection.Reverse, animated: true, completion: nil)
pageController.presentViewController(profileVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
else {
let previousVC = pageViewController(self, viewControllerBeforeViewController: viewControllers[0] as! UIViewController)!
setViewControllers([previousVC], direction: UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection.Reverse, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Error:
Warning: Attempt to present <UINavigationController: 0x15ce314e0> on <MyApp.ViewController: 0x15cd2c6f0> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!
Basically the flow is like this AppDelegate -> LoginViewController -> ViewController and I need to get to ProfileViewController.
ProfileView has ProfileNavController while CardsView has CardsNavController
ViewController has a storyboardID of pageController.
Both ProfileView and and CardsView are embedded within UINavigationControllers (hence the NavController extension).
The second time I run the app after a fresh install it works perfectly (all the controllers get loaded okay). Should I push viewControllers in AppDelegate?
I've checked your code using Xcode 7, which may not be ideal for resolving this issue because I had to covert your code to Swift 2.0, but here was what I found out.
ISSUE
First time opening the app, this block:
if currentUser() != nil {
initialViewController = pageController
}
else {
initialViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("LoginViewController") as UIViewController
}
self.window?.rootViewController = initialViewController
Will initialize LoginViewController and make it the current window's rootViewController.
At this point there is no pageController initialized
When user taps on the button to go to the Profile screen, this method will be called
func goToProfile(button: UIBarButtonItem) {
pageController.goToPreviousVC()
}
At this point, pageController is initialized, and off course, there is NOTHING in the viewControllers array. Let's see what happen in the goToPreviousVC method:
Original method looks like this:
let nextVC = pageViewController(self, viewControllerAfterViewController: viewControllers[0] as UIViewController)!
setViewControllers([nextVC], direction: UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection.Forward, animated: true, completion: nil)
One thing you can see obviously is: calling viewControllers[0] could give you a crash because viewControllers is an empty array.
If you use Swift 2.0, it doesn't even let you compile your code :)
SOLUTION
Let's go directly to the solution: Ensure that the pageController is available before trying to call it's viewControllers.
I blindly tried fixing you code in Swift 2.0 and found out that this method would work for you:
BEFORE: In LoginViewController.swift line 63
let vc = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("CardsNavController") as? UIViewController
self.presentViewController(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
AFTER: Let's fix it like this
let navc = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("CardsNavController") as! UINavigationController
if let viewControllers = pageController.viewControllers where viewControllers.count == 0 {
pageController.setViewControllers([navc.viewControllers[0]], direction: .Forward, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
self.presentViewController(pageController, animated: true, completion: nil)
It's working well here and probably I don't need to show you how the screen transition should look like :)
In case you would like to have the fixed source code as well, please find it HERE. Basically I converted your code to Swift 2.0 and ignored unnecessary parts like Facebook authentication for faster investigation.
Good luck & Happy coding!
