When I start the app my initial view is MainViewController.
Then on button click I move to AnotherViewController.
performSegueWithIdentifier("myFirstSegue", sender: self)
On AnotherViewController I have a button that should return me back to MainViewController but I don't want to instantiate new but to use existing instance.
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
var story = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MainViewController") as! ViewController
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: story)
self.showViewController(navigationController, sender: nil)
With this code I create new so I lost data that I stored on that view.
How can I get existing instance and just move to it?
UPDATE
To explain issue better if on first view I have UISwitch and move to another ViewController and then get back to first I want to UISwitch stay same not "reset".
if you are using a navigation controller, doing this will pop to your previous controller. navigationController.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
you can use this one
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil);
Navigation controller maintains the stack of viewcontrollers. just pop your viewcontroller and you will be back to your previous view controller.
navigationController.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
or use unwind segue from storyboard.
What are Unwind segues for and how do you use them?

hello my controller is connected to tabBar and navigationController now I want to show the controller over the current context then move to another controller B which must show the tab bar and back button of the navigation , currently i am doing segue its showing me black background.
Below is my UIStoryBoard layout.
i am moving to next viewController using segue like below
performSegue(withIdentifier: "second", sender: self)
Select the segue and change it's attributes as following
//
set id for the VC and use this instead of a segue after you dismiss the model
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Id")
self.presentingViewController?.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc!, animated: true)
We are looking to change the way a user logs out of our app. In order to do that, we want to dismiss all the VCs below the current VC and put another VC on top as the root VC. Right now we are doing this which I believe does not dismiss any VC below from memory.
let viewController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SignIn")
if let unwrappedViewController = viewController {
self.present(unwrappedViewController, animated: true, completion: {})
}
The problem is that the VC that we want to put on top is not embedded in a Navigation Controller or tab bar controller. How would we dismiss the VCs and set the new VC as the main VC as if the user was opening the app for the first time without having previously logged in? We also do want the transition to be animated with whatever animation is normal for that event (modal animation is fine). I have read a bunch of different ways on doing it but I want to know which way is best practice and should be implemented specifically dismissing all VCs and putting a new VC that isn't in a Nav controller on top.
If you can access the UIWindow of the app, you can set its rootViewController property to your sign-in view controller, effectively removing all current view controllers and adding the sign-in view controller instead. Here's an example:
guard let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate else { return }
// Should remove all subsequent view controllers from memory.
appDelegate.window?.rootViewController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
// Set the root view controller to a new instance of the sign in view controller.
appDelegate.window?.rootViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SignIn")
In my app I use side bar as in facebook. when the user slides out the side bar a uiimageview is displayed. when user taps on the image it takes hm to a different viewcontroller. the problem i am facing is that I have created sidebar programatically and the other view to which I want to navigate the user is created using storyboard. So my source view is created programatically and destination view is created using storyboard. So can someone explain me if there is any way of using "Segue" in this scenario. Since i can not create segue using storyboard I need to do it programatically but even after a lot of googling i could not find the answer.
Well, to get another instance of another storyboard programmatically you can use something like:
let newController = UIStoryboard(name: "MyStoryboard", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MyIdentifier") as! MyViewController
and then you push to your navigation controller, or add as a child view controller or something...
If you don't wanna bother with identifiers you can just use the instantiateInitialViewController instead of instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier
Might help
"userSB" is the viewcontroller storyboard identifier
#IBAction func tapSearchCriteria(_ sender: Any?) {
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let aVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "userSB") as? AViewController
aVC?.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.custom
aVC?.transitioningDelegate = self
aVC?.udelegate = self
self.present(aVC!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I have the following storyboard: Main Storyboard
In it, several custom View Controllers are programmatically embedded in the Scroll View. In one of them, a button is present and should trigger a segue to show the "hey" screen.
I have then wrote the following code:
#IBAction func addNewDateButtonDidTouched(sender :AnyObject) {
let mainStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let storyboardInit = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("mainview")
storyboardInit.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self)
}
This #IBAction seems to reload the inital view controller and perform the segue correclty (Xcode doesn't return any error). But the "hey" screen doesn't show up and its viewDidLoad() doesn't load.
Any hint?
Instead of calling
storyboardInit.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self)
try
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self)
The storyboardInit in your code will instantiate a UIViewController that has an identifier "mainview".
But this UIViewController hasn't been added to the screen, when you're asking the controller to perform a segue.
So, I wouldn't do that. What I would do, to segue to the hey screen is either :
Create a segue from the current controller and just do this in the code : self.performSegueWithIdentifier
Instantiate the hey controller like this : instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier, and then just do the self.presentViewController
So, to transition to a new controller, you have to start from the current controller.
if i understand your viewcontroller hierarchy correctly...
since the viewcontroller that contains the button to trigger the segue is a childviewcontroller of the viewcontroller that has the segue setup in storyboard i think you have to call presentingViewController?.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self).
I have 2 navigation controllers. I want to perform segue from one to another and change navigation stack. I'm using SWRevealViewController library for my hamburger menu. When I perform segue as on picture, menu does't work. How can I perform segue correctly? (Sorry for my english) I couldn't find any post like this. I am using swift language.
here is my storyboard

You created a manuel segue from your first view controller to another. There is not a trigger(button etc.) to the initiate your segue. You have to initiate your segue with code. You can use this code for initiate your segue;
performSegueWithIdentifier("authComplete", sender: nil)
If you put this code with your any #IBAction it should be initiate your segue. Have a nice coding.
if let secondViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewControllerID") as? ViewController {
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: secondViewController)
navController.setViewControllers([secondViewController], animated:true)
self.revealViewController().setFrontViewController(navController, animated: true)
