I am trying to open next viewController after choosing photo from gallery. I can get image from gallery, but after that I dont know how to open controller next to it. !.This is photo of that storyboard
You can put an UITapGestureRecognizer inside your UIImageView using Interface Builder or in code (as you want), I prefer the first. The you can put an #IBAction and handle the tap inside your UIImageView, Don't forget to set the UserInteractionEnabled to true in Interface Builder or in code.
To present the next view controller you can do it in code like below or just using Interface Builder using a segue through the UITapGestureRecognizer you set before (it's up to you).
To present the view controller manually like in the following code you need to set the Storyboard ID for you view controller like in the following picture (in the Identity Inspector panel):
#IBAction func imageTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
// Set the storyboard name by default is Main
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MyStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
// Instantiate the ViewController with the name you set before like in the image
let nextViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewControllerB") as! UIViewController
// present the nextViewController
self.presentViewController(nextViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I hope this help you.

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)
}
So in my attached image I show my subclass I'm creating for my HOME button. I have many VCs with a HOME button and I want to connect them to this class to make them all send the user HOME
So far, I made my button to take this class, as shown in the image. My issue is I'm not able to connect my IBAction here and not sure why.... would appreciate any tips anyone can tell me about why I'm not able to connect my IBAction function to the button right now....
Another confusing thing is that although I haven't given any of the other buttons in this stackview of buttons a class, I'm actually able to connect any of my other buttons in this stackview to my IBAction... which I find odd.
class HomeButton: UIButton {
#IBAction func showHomeVC(sender: AnyObject) {
var sb: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
var vc: UINavigationController = sb.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeNC-ID") as! UINavigationController
self.present(vc, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
}
I'm aware that I can simply go to each VC where there's a HOME button and create an IBAction from each and just paste this code in there and it will work, but I would like to do this another way where I don't have to have so much of the same code being repeated.... I would like to know what changes need to be made to make this happen.
The error that you are are getting is because you are using the class of UIButton which doesn't have the property to display a view controller. You should present it either on a UIViewController, or one of the other types.
It is linked up but you just can't present a view controller using self (UIButton)
I have just made a small transition so my project loads a different storyboard as its main (did it in the info.plist).
I have my new storyboard to keep my viewController that are responsible for login screen etc. Just to make it more clear.
After the login button is tapped I want to initiate a navigationController from another storyboard:
func instantiateViewController(fromStoryboard storyboard: String, withIdentifier identifier: String) -> UIViewController! {
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: storyboard, bundle: nil)
let viewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier(identifier)
return viewController
}
#IBAction func loginButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
let viewController = instantiateViewController(fromStoryboard: "Main", withIdentifier: "MainNavigationController")
presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Everything works correctly but one thing is driving me nuts.
After presenting the MainNavigationController from Main.storyboard its view hierarchy is not maintained.
What I mean is, the labels and buttons which supposed to be on top of another, full screen UIView (but are not its child and so they should remain) are now behind it.
What might be causing this and what is the simplest way to make them appear on top (as they do whey I open main.storyboard)
EDIT
I added a line of code in the rootView of the MainNavigationController in its viewDidLoad method:
self.view.sendSubviewToBack(wholeScreenView)
and it solved the problem.
However, does anybody know why do I have to code it myself and the views are not like in the Main.storyboard?
The storyboard is not configured the way you think it is. Your wholeScreenView is in fact in front of the other views, in the storyboard. The other views (the labels and buttons) are not subviews of wholeScreenView; they are subviews of the main view, and so is wholeScreenView. It is a later subview, so it is in front of them.
I'm trying to program an iOS App in Swift, where there would be a splash screen before the tab bar screen.
I've looked at:
http://sweettutos.com/2014/01/08/present-a-login-screen-before-the-tab-bar-controller-in-a-uitabbarcontroller-based-app/
Loading a Welcome Screen (Splash Screen) before TabBarController
but both of them require a nib file and I did all my UI in storyboard.
Here's my main question:
The code on the website has something like this:
ControllerName(nibName: "NibName", bundle: nil);
Is there any way I could do the same thing without the nib file and use storyboard?
Assuming that you have the TabBarController already in storyboard, you would add another view controller next to it.
Then you would click on the new view, and in the attributes inspector, check off "Is initial View Controller".
That makes that new view the first thing that comes up when the app is opened. To go to the tabBarController, I would probably have some button on that first view that just has a segue(control drag) to the TabBarController.
What you can do is the following the example in which the tab bar view controller is set as initial viewcontroller you can
Drag and drop another UIViewController from the Object Library into the storyboard object library.
Click on the UIViewController and assign it a StoryboardID
StoryboardID.
In your first view controller class you can access the storyboard and create an instance of the new view controller, that you dragged and dropped before, using the storyboard id, you can do it this in the viewDidAppear override function and present the new view controller modally.
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
let myStoryboard = self.storyboard
let modalViewController = myStoryboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ModalViewControlllerID")
presentViewController(modalViewController!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
To instantiate programmatically a viewController from a storyboard in a similar way as you would do from a xib with ControllerName(nibName: "NibName", bundle: nil), it's:
UIStoryboard(name: "StoryboardName", bundle: nil)
.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ControllerName")
But you must not forget to set the arbitrary identifier of your viewController in the storyboard under Storyboard ID:
Drag navigationController and viewController to storyboard and make navigationcontroller as initial viewcontroller then push tabbarcontroller from viewcontroller.

I just needed to do the same for my project. Here is my solution.
I created a ViewController and made it the Storyboard Entry Point in the Main.storyboard. I previously had a TabViewController with all kinds of setup and needed only 1 change there.
TabBarController should have a StoryboardID, I named my "TabBarID".
I created a new LaunchViewController swift file with that new ViewController added to my Main.storyboard and assigned it in Main.storyboard.
Here is that class. Very simple with a timer that once over the threshold will then present the TabBarViewController in fullscreen.
class LaunchViewController: UIViewController {
var timer = Timer()
var time = 0
var threshold = 2
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundTheme(theme: .orangeWhite)
Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1, target: self, selector: (#selector(updateTimer)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
#objc func updateTimer() {
time += 1
if time > threshold {
timer.invalidate()
guard let storyboard = self.storyboard else {
//failed to find storyboard
return
}
let tabBarController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(identifier: "TabBarID")
tabBarController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
present(tabBarController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
I was wondering if i could make some sort of a segue between these 2 views in a Xib file.
the main View is loaded into a scrollview in the storyboard.
.
(so if ik click Bewerken(edit) i would get pushed to the view controller on the right)
Thanks!
I would suggest changing this to a Container View inside the storyboard instead of a separated Xib. You can add and position/size UIContainerView as a subview and add a"Storyboard Embed Segue to attach another ViewController. This is what it will look like in IB/Storyboard:
During runtime, the blue UIView (or the embedded UIViewController if you like) will be embedded in the hosting UIView as a subview:
If you change your implementation to this, you are in the beautiful segue world where you can just drag-and-drop segues :)
You could do 2 things:
1 - Wrap the main view in a Navigation Controller so you can do the following:
#IBAction func loadEditController(sender:UIButton){
let editController = RegisterController(nibName:"RegisterXIB", bundle:nil)
navigationController?.pushViewController(editController, animated: true)
}
2 - Present the Edit Controller over the current context and animate it yourself
#IBAction func loadEditController(sender:UIButton){
let editController = RegisterController(nibName:"RegisterXIB", bundle:nil)
editController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
presentViewController(editController, animated: false, completion: nil)
//Move it offscreen and the animate it here
}
