I have a container view used for navigation.
It's height is 75% of screen height, and on my main navigation controller I load this container, and to this container I load another controller :
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
controller1 = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ViewController") as! ViewController
controller1.delegate=self
controller1.view.frame=ContainerView.bounds
ContainerView.addSubview(controller1.view)
addChildViewController(controller1)
controller1.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
What happens is that this controller covers all screen, not just 75% of it, and behind it I see the other container- used as bottom bar, but it should not cover it.
Story board:
On reality, "container", covers the "bar".

Can use as Many Container Views And Subviews Try checking once
Updated Answer As in your code
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
controller1 = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ViewController") as! ViewController
controller1.delegate=self
controller1.view.frame=ContainerView.bounds
ContainerView.addSubview(controller1.view)
addChildViewController(controller1)
controller1.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
Everything is fine but here need to add one more property that will Hopefully solve your problem of getting subview out of bounds
need to set translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints to true
So Try using code as
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
controller1 = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ViewController") as! ViewController
controller1.delegate=self
controller1.view.frame=ContainerView.bounds
ContainerView.addSubview(controller1.view)
addChildViewController(controller1)
controller1.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
controller1.didMove(toParentViewController: self)

the thing is im new to ios development this is my second application while working on the first one i mainly used a theme and then worked over it but this one im working from scratch.
My main problem is going from one screen to another
When i use this code it works
let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)
let nextViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "servicesScreen") as! ServiceViewController
nextViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
self.present(nextViewController, animated:true, completion:nil)
But i need to use this one so i can go back too but this wont do anything
let storyBoard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let newViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "servicesScreen") as! ServiceViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(newViewController, animated: true)
My question is, am i doing anything wrong here or do i need to add something in scenedeligate?
try
select Main.storyboard
select initial view Controller
select editor -> Embed in -> navigation controller.
For this, you need to add navigation controller to initial storyboards.
If you are using navigationController you need to add a navigation controller first on storyboard or programmatically.
Programmatically add navigation controller check this link:-
Creating a navigationController programmatically (Swift)
or
To add navigation controller on storyboard you should follow this link:-
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/ImplementNavigation.html
If you have added navigation controller to your app then make sure your intialViewController is set to navigation controller or your navigation controller is added to the stack when you run your application.
Also check for "Is the identifier correct? Did you reference the correct storyboard?".
I've separated my views into multiple storyboards to make managing the project as a team much easier. The only problem is that I want to have the navigation bar across all of my different view controllers. I embedded the first view controller in a navigation controller which added the navigation bar. In my second storyboard, I wanted to constrain a view to the navigation bar, however, since this view controller isn't embedded in a navigation controller, there isn't anything to constrain the view to. I put a navigation bar without a navigation controller to constrain to, however, when I perform the segue from the first storyboard, this results in two navigation bars. How do I make this so that I can constrain the view to the navigation bar without having two of them? Thanks in advance!
You can go from on view controller to another by three way:-
First using segue as you are already doing
second You can Present your view controller by
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MyStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "someViewController")
self.present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
Third You can Navigate View controller by
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MyStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "someViewController")
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(controller, animated: true)
I'm not sure your problem. I guess that you want to use ONE navigation bar to constrain many UIViewController in different Storyboard. Here is my answer.
Step 1: Set up Storyboard ID in each UIViewController
Step 2: push new UIViewController
func switchNextView() {
let storyboardName:String = "xxxxxx"
let storyboardId:String = "xxxxx"
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: storyboardName, bundle: nil)
let vc: UIViewController =
storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardId) as!
UIViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
}
Hello I am using EnSwiftSideMenu library (https://github.com/evnaz/ENSwiftSideMenu). I have two independent view controller that uses side menu. When button pressed from first VC it is doing following code
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
var destinationVC:UIViewController!
destinationVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SicilBilgileriVC") as! SicilBilgileriVC
sideMenuController()?.setContentViewController(destinationVC)
hideSideMenuView()
When I pressed back button from my second vc it is triggering following code to go back first VC.
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
var destinationVC:UIViewController!
destinationVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SicilBilgileriVC") as! SicilBilgileriVC
sideMenuController()?.setContentViewController(destinationVC)
hideSideMenuView()
However, inputs that I have added first VC has been gone somehow. I need to keep them even if user pressed back button? I also tried pushing two of VC's but I could not be successful. Where am I missing?
I'm working with a single view app but also I'm using Tab View controller at one case , but the Tab view Controller must be put as initial view controller to work so how I can use Tab view controller without make it as initial view Controller?
#SamahAhmed
let storyboard = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let diallerTBC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("tabBarStoryboardId") as! MyTabbarController
//create a variable for e.g : data at MyTabbarController and set like
diallerTBC.data = "testing"
When you are clicking on button to move tabbar controller
Provide a storyboard id to tabbar and use below code
Write this as a class method in appdelegate and call it on button click
let storyboard = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let diallerTBC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("tabBarStoryboardId") as! UITabBarController
self.window?.rootViewController = diallerTBC
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
I hope this will work
Thanks
New iOS developer here. I am working on a project which requires that the user log-in when they first open the app. From then on, I want the app to open directly to the main flow of the app (a tab bar controller in my case). After doing some research, I have come across what seems to be two main ways to do implement this functionality:
1) Conditionally set the root view controller of the app's window in the app delegate. For example:
if userLoggedIn {
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
let tabBarController: UITabBarController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("TabBarController") as! UITabBarController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
self.window?.rootViewController = tabBarController
} else {
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
let logInViewController: LogInViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("LogInViewController") as! LogInViewController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
self.window?.rootViewController = logInViewController
}
2) Use a navigation controller as the app's root view controller, and conditionally set the view controllers managed by the navigation controller in the app delegate. For example:
if userLoggedIn {
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
let tabBarController: UITabBarController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("TabBarController") as! UITabBarController
let navigationController = self.window?.rootViewController as! UINavigationController
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = true
navigationController.setViewControllers([tabBarController], animated: true)
} else {
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
let tabBarController: ViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("LoginViewController") as! ViewController
let navigationController = self.window?.rootViewController as! UINavigationController
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = true
navigationController.setViewControllers([tabBarController], animated: true)
}
If I go with the second option, I can easily transition to the app's main flow (let's say a tab bar controller) after I'm done logging in the user. In an appropriate place in the LogInViewController, I can say:
// Transition to tab bar controller
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
let tabBarController: UITabBarController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("TabBarController") as! UITabBarController
self.navigationController?.setViewControllers([tabBarController], animated: true)
Pretty easy.
As for the first method, I am not sure how I would transition to the main content of the app after logging the user in.
What I am looking for here is the "best" way to handle login flow. I've listed two methods but maybe there is another that is even better. Also, if the "best" method is the first I have listed, how can I get to my tab bar controller after I finish logging the user in? Thanks!
Those are both fine options. One thing that I've done that has worked well is implemented a custom container view controller as the root of my app (this might be a subclass of my main view controller like a tab bar controller or navigation controller).
In this container view controller, I can put code to display and dismiss a login view controller based on the user's login status. Note: you can also use temporary full-screen views here to hide your app's main content while the login screen is shown/dismissed - this is an easy way to get very smooth app launch transitions.
I particularly like this method, because the rest of the app doesn't need to worry about the details. Your container can act like a normal tab bar controller or navigation controller, but underneath, you get to encapsulate all of the login UI logic in one place.
