I need to show some popover and for that I need position of right navigation bar button. currently I used
x = self.view.frame.width - 30
y = self.view.frame.origin.y + 60
But I think It's not a good way, Because iPad screen in landscape view the view.frame.origin.y is a bit diff to iPhone in the same situation.
You can get it like this
if let rightBarButton = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem {
if rightBarButton.valueForKey("view") != nil {
// here you can access the frame like this buttonView.frame
}
}
Maybe this can give you correct location converted to super view, updated from Rajat answer:
if let rightBarButton = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem {
if let buttonView = rightBarButton.valueForKey("view") {
let frame = self.navigationController?.view.convertRect(buttonView.frame, toView: self.view)
print("frame \(frame)") //(330.5, 6.0, 40.0, 30.0)
}
}

I'm using a custom UIPresentationController to present a view modally. After presenting the view, the first textfield in the presented view becomes the first responder and the keyboard shows up. To ensure that the view is still visible, I move it up. However, when I do this the frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView is not matching the actual frame of the view anymore. Because of this, when I tap on the view it's being dismissed, because there's a tapGestureRecogziner on the backgroundView which is on top of the presentingView. How to notify the presentingController that the frame/position of the presentedView has changed?
In the UIPresentationController:
override var frameOfPresentedViewInContainerView: CGRect {
var frame = CGRect.zero
let safeAreaBottom = self.presentingViewController.view.safeAreaInsets.bottom
guard let height = presentedView?.frame.height else { return frame }
if let containerBounds = containerView?.bounds {
frame = CGRect(x: 0,
y: containerBounds.height - height - safeAreaBottom,
width: containerBounds.width,
height: height + safeAreaBottom)
}
return frame
}
override func presentationTransitionWillBegin() {
if let containerView = self.containerView, let coordinator = presentingViewController.transitionCoordinator {
containerView.addSubview(self.dimmedBackgroundView)
self.dimmedBackgroundView.backgroundColor = .black
self.dimmedBackgroundView.frame = containerView.bounds
self.dimmedBackgroundView.alpha = 0
coordinator.animate(alongsideTransition: { _ in
self.dimmedBackgroundView.alpha = 0.5
}, completion: nil)
}
}
Presenting the view modally:
let overlayVC = CreateEventViewController()
overlayVC.transitioningDelegate = self.transitioningDelegate
overlayVC.modalPresentationStyle = .custom
self.present(overlayVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
Animation when keyboard appears (in the presented view):
#objc func animateWithKeyboard(notification: NSNotification) {
let userInfo = notification.userInfo!
guard let keyboardHeight = (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue.height,
let duration = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as? Double,
let curve = userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as? UInt else {
return
}
// bottomContraint is the constraint that pins content to the bottom of the superview.
let moveUp = (notification.name == UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification)
bottomConstraint.constant = moveUp ? (keyboardHeight) : originalBottomValue
let options = UIView.AnimationOptions(rawValue: curve << 16)
UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, delay: 0,
options: options,
animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
}
From the Apple documentation:
UIKit calls this method multiple times during the course of a
presentation, so your implementation should return the same frame
rectangle each time. Do not use this method to make changes to your
view hierarchy or perform other one-time tasks.
AFAIK, if you specify frame through this variable, it's advised not to change it throughout the course of presentation. If you plan to play around with the frames, don't specify this variable and handle all the changes manually in your animator
I have a screen in my iOS app that has side menu, when I swipe this side menu I want it to cover the status bar ( but I don't want status bar to be hidden completely ), I just what the part that overlaps with side menu, to get under side menu, not front of it, can anyone help me? (I'm using swift 4.2 in my app)
(this side menu is just another ViewController that I animate in and out of my MainViewController)
A possible way to show the side menu over the status bar is to use a UIWindow with wndowLevel = .statusBar that will present the status menu UIViewController. Here is a quick implementation I made:
func presentSideMenu() {
let vc = UIViewController() // side menu controller
vc.view.backgroundColor = .red
window = UIWindow()
window?.frame = CGRect(x: -view.bounds.width, y: 0, width: view.bounds.width, height: view.bounds.height)
window?.rootViewController = vc
window?.windowLevel = .statusBar
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
window?.isHidden = false
window?.addSubview(vc.view)
}
Then you can add a pan recognizer to your view and change the frame of the UIWindow accordingly. Again a simple snippet:
func hideSideMenu() {
window?.isHidden = true
window = nil
}
#objc func pan(recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
if recognizer.state == .began {
presentSideMenu()
} else if recognizer.state == .changed {
let location = recognizer.location(in: view)
window?.frame = CGRect(x: -view.frame.width + location.x, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height)
} else if recognizer.state == .ended {
hideSideMenu()
}
}
Note that you should hold a strong reference to the UIWindow otherwise it will be released immediately. Maybe you should consider if presenting over the status bar is a good idea though. Hope this helps.

I am trying to position a segmented control below the Large title in an iOS app. I have a UIToolbar which contains the segmented control inside.
When scrolling up the title and toolbar behave as expected.
When scrolling down the navigation bar is correct, but it doesn't push the UITabBar or the UITableView down, meaning the title goes above the segmented control as can be seen in the images below.
I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the constraints I have set, but I can't figure out what.
The TabBar is fixed to the top, left and right.
The TableView is fixed to the bottom, left and right.
The tableView is fixed vertically to the TabBar
I have the position UITabBarDelegate method set:
func position(for bar: UIBarPositioning) -> UIBarPosition {
return .topAttached
}
Take the delegation of the tableView somewhere:
tableView.delegate = self
Override the scrollViewDidScroll and update toolbar position appearance (since the real position should not change according to have that nice bounce effect.
extension ViewController: UIScrollViewDelegate {
override func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
var verticalOffset = scrollView.contentOffset.y + defaultNavigationBarHeight
if scrollView.refreshControl?.isRefreshing ?? false {
verticalOffset += 60 // After is refreshing changes its value the toolbar goes 60 points down
print(toolbar.frame.origin.y)
}
if verticalOffset >= 0 {
toolbar.transform = .identity
} else {
toolbar.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: -verticalOffset)
}
}
}
You can use the following check before applying transformation to make it more reliable and natural to default iOS style:
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
guard let navigationController = navigationController else { return }
guard navigationController.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles else { return }
guard navigationController.navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode != .never else { return }
}
Using UIScrollViewDelegate didn't work well with CollectionView and toolbar for me. So, I did:
final class CollectionViewController: UICollectionViewController {
private var observesBag: [NSKeyValueObservation] = []
private let toolbar = UIToolbar()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let statusBarHeight = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.height
let navigationBarHeight = navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0
let defaultNavigationBarHeight = statusBarHeight + navigationBarHeight
let observation = navigationController!
.navigationBar
.observe(\.center, options: NSKeyValueObservingOptions.new) { [weak self] navBar, _ in
guard let self = self else { return }
let newNavigatonBarHeight = navBar.frame.height + statusBarHeight
let yTranslantion = newNavigatonBarHeight - defaultNavigationBarHeight
if yTranslantion > 0 {
self.toolbar.transform = CGAffineTransform(
translationX: 0,
y: yTranslantion
)
} else {
self.toolbar.transform = .identity
}
}
observesBag.append(observation)
}
}
Observe the "center" of the navigationBar for changes and then translate the toolbar in the y-axis.
Even though it worked fine when I tried to use this solution with UIRefreshControl and Large Titles it didn't work well.
I set up the refresh control like:
private func setupRefreshControl() {
let refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()
self.webView.scrollView.refreshControl = refreshControl
}
the height of the UINavigationBar is changed after the complete refresh triggers.
Want to create an animation were user can slide the view from bottom similar to Apple Maps application in iOS. But having issues while handling gesture.
The code in my mainVC in which panVC is added as subview from bottom which works fine.(The panVC correctly comes at bottom)
func displayFromBottom {
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
listVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: “PanViewContr") as! PanViewContr
var startingFrame = self.view.bounds;
startingFrame.origin.y = startingFrame.size.height; //Starts from the bottom of the parent.
startingFrame.size.height = 100; //Has a height of 100.
var finalFrame = self.view.bounds;
finalFrame.origin.y = finalFrame.size.height - 100; //100 from the bottom of the parent.
listVC.view.frame = startingFrame
listVC.willMove(toParentViewController: self)
self.addChildViewController(listVC)
self.view.addSubview(listVC.view)
listVC.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, animations: {
self.listVC.view.frame = finalFrame
}) { complete in
print("done”)
}
}
The code for PanVC were pan gesture is handled.
func slideViewVerticallyTo(_ y: CGFloat) {
self.view.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 0, y: y)
}
#IBAction func panGesture(_ panGesture: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
switch panGesture.state {
case .began, .changed:
// If pan started or is ongoing then
// slide the view to follow the finger
let translation = panGesture.translation(in: view)
let y = max(0, translation.y) //what should be value of y to make it dragable smoothly
self.slideViewVerticallyTo(y)
break
case .ended:
break
}
Any hint in right direction is highly appreciated.
I had created a movable extension that adds the ability to move UIView's around a screen the code for which you can see here: https://github.com/szweier/SZUtilities/blob/master/SZUtilities/Classes/UIView/Movable/UIView%2BMovable.swift you may be able to see something in this code that you are missing in your own. I'm sorry my answer isn't more specific but hopefully it gets you moving towards the correct answer.
I have a button in a toolbar. How can I grab its frame? Do UIBarButtonItems not have a frame property?
Try this one;
UIBarButtonItem *item = ... ;
UIView *view = [item valueForKey:#"view"];
CGFloat width;
if(view){
width=[view frame].size.width;
}
else{
width=(CGFloat)0.0 ;
}
This way works best for me:
UIView *targetView = (UIView *)[yourBarButton performSelector:#selector(view)];
CGRect rect = targetView.frame;
With Swift, if you needs to often work with bar button items, you should implement an extension like this:
extension UIBarButtonItem {
var frame: CGRect? {
guard let view = self.value(forKey: "view") as? UIView else {
return nil
}
return view.frame
}
}
Then in your code you can access easily:
if let frame = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems?.first?.frame {
// do whatever with frame
}
Oof, lots of rough answers in this thread. Here's the right way to do it:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let customButton = UIButton(type: .system)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
customButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "myImage"), for: .normal)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: customButton)
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
print(self.customButton.convert(self.customButton.frame, to: nil))
}
}
Thanks to Anoop Vaidya for the suggested answer. An alternative could be (providing you know the position of the button in the toolbar)
UIView *view= (UIView *)[self.toolbar.subviews objectAtIndex:0]; // 0 for the first item
CGRect viewframe = view.frame;
Here's what I'm using in iOS 11 & Swift 4. It could be a little cleaner without the optional but I'm playing it safe:
extension UIBarButtonItem {
var view: UIView? {
return perform(#selector(getter: UIViewController.view)).takeRetainedValue() as? UIView
}
}
And usage:
if let barButtonFrame = myBarButtonItem.view?.frame {
// etc...
}
Edit: I don't recommend using this anymore. I ended up changing my implementation to use UIBarButtonItems with custom views, like Dan's answer
-(CGRect) getBarItemRc :(UIBarButtonItem *)item{
UIView *view = [item valueForKey:#"view"];
return [view frame];
}
You can create a UIBarButtonItem with a custom view, which is a UIButton, then you can do whatever you want. :]
in Swift 4.2 and inspired with luca
extension UIBarButtonItem {
var frame:CGRect?{
return (value(forKey: "view") as? UIView)?.frame
}
}
guard let frame = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems?.first?.frame else{ return }
You can roughly calculate it by using properties like layoutMargins and frame on the navigationBar, combined with icon size guides from Human Interface Guidelines and take into count the current device orientation:
- (CGRect)rightBarButtonFrame {
CGFloat imageWidth = 28.0;
CGFloat imageHeight = UIDevice.currentDevice.orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || UIDevice.currentDevice.orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight ? 18.0 : 28.0;
UIEdgeInsets navigationBarLayoutMargins = self.navigationController.navigationBar.layoutMargins;
CGRect navigationBarFrame = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame;
return CGRectMake(navigationBarFrame.size.width-(navigationBarLayoutMargins.right + imageWidth), navigationBarFrame.origin.y + navigationBarLayoutMargins.top, imageWidth, imageHeight);
}
Try this implementation:
#implementation UIBarButtonItem(Extras)
- (CGRect)frameInView:(UIView *)v {
UIView *theView = self.customView;
if (!theView.superview && [self respondsToSelector:#selector(view)]) {
theView = [self performSelector:#selector(view)];
}
UIView *parentView = theView.superview;
NSArray *subviews = parentView.subviews;
NSUInteger indexOfView = [subviews indexOfObject:theView];
NSUInteger subviewCount = subviews.count;
if (subviewCount > 0 && indexOfView != NSNotFound) {
UIView *button = [parentView.subviews objectAtIndex:indexOfView];
return [button convertRect:button.bounds toView:v];
} else {
return CGRectZero;
}
}
#end
You should do a loop over the subviews and check their type or their contents for identifying.
It is not safe to access view by kvo and you cannot be sure about the index.
Check out this answer: How to apply borders and corner radius to UIBarButtonItem? which explains how to loop over subviews to find the frame of a button.
I used a view on the bar button item with a tag on the view:
for view in bottomToolbar.subviews {
if let stackView = view.subviews.filter({$0 is UIStackView}).first {
//target view has tag = 88
if let targetView = stackView.subviews.filter({$0.viewWithTag(88) != nil}).first {
//do something with target view
}
}
}
Swift 4 up The current best way to do it is to access its frame from :
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems by
let customView = navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems?.first?.customView // access the first added customView
Accessing this way is safer than accessing private api.

After Add a CustomView to navigationItem, CustomView always return nil
