Going back from a UIViewController to the first ViewController - ios

The issue at hand is the following: I show a UIAlertController. If the user presses delete, the view should go back to the first page, which is of the class class TableViewQuery: PFQueryTableViewController.
import UIKit
class DetailViewController: UIViewController {
var currentObject : PFObject?
#IBAction func pressDelete(sender: AnyObject) {
let deleteUser = UIAlertController(title: "Are you sure?", message: "Are you sure you want to delete the current user?", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
deleteUser.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Yes", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
// Unwrap current object
if let object = self.currentObject {
object["firstName"] = self.firstName.text
object["lastName"] = self.lastName.text
object.deleteEventually()
}
}))
deleteUser.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
//Do nothing
}))
presentViewController(deleteUser, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I have tried self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil), but that just closes the UIAlertController.
I also tried the unwind segue, but then it does that instantly when I press the button, instead of showing the UIAlertController.
I also tried the segueForUnwindingToViewController(<toViewController: UIViewController:UIViewController>, fromViewController: <#T##UIViewController#>, identifier: <#T##String?#>) BUT my toViewController isn't a UIViewController, but a PFQueryTableViewController.
Any ideas on what else I can try?

You should put code into handler of UIAlertAction to respond when user click YES. I guess your are using master detail view controllers. If so, you need to find the right navigation controller to pop. Else, If you are using navigation controller, just pop as the code I commented.
#IBAction func pressDelete(sender: AnyObject) {
let deleteUser = UIAlertController(title: "Are you sure?", message: "Are you sure you want to delete the current user?", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
deleteUser.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Yes", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
// If you are using master detail view controllers
if let navController = self.splitViewController?.viewControllers[0] as? UINavigationController {
navController.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
}
// If you using navigation controller
// self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
}))
deleteUser.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
//Do nothing
}))
presentViewController(deleteUser, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

You should use the completion handler for presentViewController. You may need to keep track of any action the user took with the alert view controller. You will have to keep track of your user's choices with the alert view controller actions. Then in the completion handler check the user's choice and then make your navigation accordingly.
var didTapDeleteButton = false
#IBAction func pressDelete(sender: AnyObject) {
let deleteUser = UIAlertController(title: "Are you sure?", message: "Are you sure you want to delete the current user?", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
deleteUser.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Yes", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
// Unwrap current object
if let object = self.currentObject {
object["firstName"] = self.firstName.text
object["lastName"] = self.lastName.text
object.deleteEventually()
didTapDeleteButton = true
}
}))
deleteUser.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
didTapDeleteButton = false
}))
presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: {
// Make navigation choice here
if didTapDeleteButton == true {
// Navigation option 1
} else {
// Navigation option 2
}
})

UIAlertAction closure is not being called when presenting Controller is modal

I have a UIViewController which is embedeed in UINavigationController which is being presented modally over my application's keyWindow.rootViewController. When I present UIAlertController in any screen of the presented navigation controller, the alert controller is correctly displayed but the closures for any of the UIAlertAction are not being called after being pressed.
I am displaying the same alert controller with the same code in view controllers belonging to the main navigation controller of my app and the closures are called properly.
The code for presenting the alert is very simple, here's the snippet:
// Creating Alert
func createAlert() -> UIAlertController {
let actions: [UIAlertAction] = [
UIAlertAction(title: "Something", style: .default, handler: { _ in
self.setOriginalQueue(with: items, description: description, identifier: identifier)
self.setQueue()
}),
UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { _ in
normal()
})
]
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: message, preferredStyle: .actionSheet, actions: actions)
return alert
}
// In ViewController
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
So the question is, why are the closures not being called?
UIAlertController does not contain four types argument. See the document.
Once you fixed that, the rest will be automatically fixed like below.
For everyone's convenience I'll put the whole Modal view controller class source here.
class ModalViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
self.present(createAlert(), animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func createAlert() -> UIAlertController {
let actions: [UIAlertAction] = [
UIAlertAction(title: "Something", style: .default, handler: { _ in
print("Something")
}),
UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: { _ in
print("Cancel")
})
]
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "Message", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
for action in actions {
alert.addAction(action)
}
return alert
}
}
The line is wrong.
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "message" , preferredStyle: .actionSheet, actions: actions)
You must be get error like that
Type of expression is ambiguous without more context
Change it like that:
return UIAlertController(title: YourTitle, message: YourMessage, preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.actionSheet)
So it can work.
Need to pass name of the method when you are presenting alert
self.present(createAlert(), animated: true, completion: nil)

Show UIAlert before unwinding segue

I'm trying to fire an alert that asks if you want to save or delete a draft after pressing cancel. I'm quite close, but I can't seem to get it right.
I'm unwinding from 'ReplyMailViewController'(ViewController A) to 'MailContentViewController'(ViewController B).
I added the following code in ViewController A to show the alert and 'hold' the segue perform:
override func shouldPerformSegue(withIdentifier identifier: String?, sender: Any?) -> Bool {
if let ident = identifier {
if ident == "cancelDraft" {
let saveDraftActionHandler = { (action:UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
NSLog("EXIT")
}
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
let deleteDraftAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Delete Draft", style: .destructive, handler: nil)
alertController.addAction(deleteDraftAction)
let saveDraftAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Save Draft", style: .default, handler: saveDraftActionHandler)
alertController.addAction(saveDraftAction)
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
return false
}
}
return true
}
The segue holds with this code, but the issue is that I can't figure out how to continue the unwind segue after pressing 'Save Draft' for example.
I also have an unwind function in View Controller B, but I can't seem to figure out how I can use this one for this task:
#IBAction func cancelToMailContentViewController(_ segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
}
Instead of perform the segue directly you need to show your UIAlertViewController first and according to the user response execute your segue or not
#IBAction func showAlertViewController(){
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
let replyAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Delete Draft", style: .destructive, handler: nil)
let replyAllAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Save Draft", style: .default) { (action) in
//Do whatever you need here
}
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { (action) in
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "cancelDraft", sender: action) //executing the segue on cancel
}
alertController.addAction(replyAllAction)
alertController.addAction(replyAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
After this you only need to change the unwind segue action to execute this method, and your segue will be executed if you press cancel in the UIAlertViewController via self.performSegue(withIdentifier: #<SegueIdentifier>, sender: #<sender>)
First, make the alert with two options:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBAction func showAlertButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
// create the alert
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "UIAlertController", message: "Save this work?", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
// add the actions (buttons)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Hell Yeah", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler: nil))
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Hell No", style: UIAlertActionStyle.cancel, handler: nil))
// show the alert
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
After this, you have to make the segue and then name it (also connect it by control dragging from the view controller yellow icon to the other view controller):
After that put this your code to execute the segue:
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: ":)", sender: self)
After that you are going to execute the segue when the user responds to the alert:
if buttonTitle == "Hell Yeah" {
elf.performSegue(withIdentifier: ":)", sender: self)
}
so, in the end, your code should look like this:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBAction func showAlertButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
// create the alert
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "UIAlertController", message: "Save this work?", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
// add the actions (buttons)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Hell Yeah", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler: nil))
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Hell No", style: UIAlertActionStyle.cancel, handler: nil))
// show the alert
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
if buttonTitle == "Hell Yeah" {
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: ":)", sender: self)
}
}
}

unwind segue in UIAlert not working

I am trying to present an alert to the user if they need to be logged in to access a feature but when I press the login button in the alert self.self.performSegueWithIdentifier("tryonToLogin", sender:self) does not appear to do anything.
LoginViewController
#IBAction func unwindToLogin(segue:UIStoryboardSegue){
}
UIAlert
#IBAction func goToGallery(sender: UIButton){
if(isLoggedIn){
performSegueWithIdentifier("ShowGallery", sender: sender)
}else{
showMessage("You must login to view access this feature", sender:sender)
}
}
func showMessage(popUpMessageText : String, sender:UIButton){
let messageTitle = "Error"
print("prepreform segue")
performSegueWithIdentifier("unwindToLogin", sender:sender)
let refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: messageTitle, message: popUpMessageText, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
refreshAlert.addAction( UIAlertAction(title: "Login", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
print("Handle Login redirect logic here")
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("unwindToLogin", sender: self)
print("after Handle Login redirect logic here")
}))
refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
print("Handle Cancel logic here")
}))
presentViewController(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
// Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
print("prepare for segue called")
self.camera = nil
}
There are no errors. it is getting called as if ii put in a id that does not exist i get the no segue with specified identifier found error message.
Does the UIAlert affect the calling of the performSegueWithIdentifier()
The following post uses this approach so I think it should work. what am i missing.
**IB Screenshots **
Edit
I have tried moving self.performSegueWithIdentifier("unwindToLogin", sender:self) to view did appear and it still is snot working.
The self inside the block is the UIAlertController, not the UIViewController. Create a weak reference to the UIViewController, and call the method on that object.
weak var weakSelf = self
let refreshAlert = UIAlertController(title: messageTitle, message: popUpMessageText, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
refreshAlert.addAction( UIAlertAction(title: "Login", style: .Default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
print("Handle Login redirect logic here")
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
weakSelf?.performSegueWithIdentifier("unwindToLogin", sender:self)
}
}))
Seeing that you have not provide sufficient informations, I present you this 'solution'.
Create an extension of UIViewController in order to implement facility function to implement an alertView-
I suppose that you put your code on "viewDidLoad": you have to move code on "viewDidAppear".
please check what operation you do in prepareForSegue
I think this will be sufficient.
extension UIViewController {
/**
Show alert view with OK/Cancel button.
- parameter title: alert title
- parameter message: alert message
- parameter onOk: callback on ok button tapped
- parameter onCancel: callback on cancel button tapped
- returns: alert controller
*/
func showAlert(title title: String, message: String, onOk: (() -> ())?, onCancel: (() -> ())? = nil) -> UIAlertController {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)
let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .Default) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
onOk?()
}
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel"), style: .Default) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
onCancel?()
}
alertController.addAction(okAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
return alertController
}
}
class LoginViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let title = "Login"
let message = messageTitle
self.showAlert(title: title, message: message, onOk: { () -> () in
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("unwindToLogin", sender: self)
})
}
}

UIAlertController - Transitioning to another segue

I am trying to create a UIAlertController with two options 'Cancel' and 'Log out'. I want the 'Cancel' button to cancel the alert and the 'Log out' button to perform the segue associated with it, which i have set up in the storyboard.
My code is;
class HomeVC: UIViewController {
#IBAction func SignOutBtn(sender: UIButton) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Alert",
message: "Are you sure you want to log out?",
preferredStyle: .Alert)
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title:"Cancel",
style: .Cancel) { (action) -> Void in
print("You selected the Cancel action.")
}
let submitAction = UIAlertAction(title:"Log out",
style: .Default) { (action) -> Void in
print("You selected the submit action.")
self.presentedViewController
}
alertController.addAction(submitAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
Well it seems your'e missing the actions you want to perform inside the blocks.
(also, you may want to dismiss the alert controller, inside the blocks as well.)
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { (action) -> Void in
print("You selected the Cancel action.")
alertController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
})
let submitAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Log out", style: .Default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
print("You selected the submit action.")
alertController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: { () -> Void in
// Perform your custom segue action you need.
})
})
If you have set up a segue from one view to another, in your button handler for log out then you can call self.performSegueWithIdentifier("storyboadIdentifier") which will call the prepareForSeguemethod so you can modify or pass info along the segue if need be.
#pbush25
class HomeVC: UIViewController {
#IBAction func SignOutBtn(sender: UIButton) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Alert",
message: "Are you sure you want to log out?",
preferredStyle: .Alert)
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler: { (action) -> Void in
print("You selected the Cancel action.")
alertController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
})
let submitAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Log out", style: .Default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
print("You selected the submit action.")
alertController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: { () -> Void in
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("segue", sender: nil)
})
})
alertController.addAction(submitAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

How to make a UIAlert button press advance to next Storyboard?

I'm quite new to Swift (and coding in general) and to this website.
I'm having a little bit of an issue now. In my app, I have an alert when a timer reaches 0. In that alert, there are 2 buttons. One says "Share" and the other says "Continue". I want to make it such that when a user taps "Continue", the next Storyboard will be shown to them. As of now, whatever button I press will dismiss the alert, but stay on the same Storyboard. (It also prints to the console which button I pressed, but of course that's just for me to see).
How do I go about doing this? Here is my code, in case anyone wants to know.
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Time's Up!", message: "What would you like to do now?", preferredStyle: .Alert)
let firstAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Continue", style: .Default) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
NSLog("You pressed button one")
}
let secondAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Share", style: .Default) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
NSLog("You pressed button two")
}
alert.addAction(firstAction)
alert.addAction(secondAction)
presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion:nil)
Try with this:
// Create the alert controller
var alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "Message", preferredStyle: .Alert)
// Create the actions
var okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) {
UIAlertAction in
NSLog("OK Pressed")
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MyStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("someViewController") as UIViewController
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
var cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel) {
UIAlertAction in
NSLog("Cancel Pressed")
//do whatever you want here
}
// Add the actions
alertController.addAction(okAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
// Present the controller
self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
If you haven't already set your ViewControllerIdentifier:
You need to set the Identifier value that you can find on the right column
Here is the code that might help you. When you create a AlertController with actions, you can provide the actions and style of the button when you define them. In code below action is in the closure (Block) and style is defined as .Default or .Cancel
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Time's Up!", message: "What would you like to do now?", preferredStyle: .Alert)
let firstAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Continue", style: .Default) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
// Action when you press button goes here
print("Here you show next storyboard item.")
// Code to push new ViewController. For example :
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(newVCInstance, animated: true)
}
let secondAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Share", style: .Default) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
print("Here you share things.")
// Code to share things.
}
let thirdAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: . Cancel) { (alert: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
print("Just dismissing the Alert Controller.")
}
alert.addAction(firstAction)
alert.addAction(secondAction)
alert.addAction(thirdAction)
presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion:nil)
