How to show TabbarController from a button click segue? - ios

I have a tabbarcontroller and it has 3 tab like Home,Cam and Profile. It is working perfectly. Also i want to show profile view from a different profile button. So if i clicked this button it shows profile view but tabbar is disappearing but i dont want this.
Actually system like an instagram clone. In instagram if you click a username then you can see his/her profile view and tabbar not disappearing. Also you can go profile view with profile tab. This not working in my project.
I can easily going to the profile view from TabBarVC. There is no problem in here. But in table view controller. I have custom cell in table view and there is a button in this cell. I wanna go to profile view when i click this button. It works but when i clicked this button, tabbar in the profile view is disappearing.
func profileSelected(index : Int) {
selectedUser = objects[index].valueForKey("user") as PFUser
performSegueWithIdentifier("profile", sender: self)
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.destinationViewController is ProfileVC {
var profileVC = segue.destinationViewController as ProfileVC
profileVC.user = selectedUser
}
}
How can i fix this?

You need to provide coding examples. Your description is not enough for anyone to be able to assist you.

Is it possible to transfer data retrieved from Firebase in the tab bar controller class from the tab bar controller to a view controller? Xcode, Swift

So, I want to prefetch some of the data needed in the view controllers associated with the tab bar controller as the user moves from the login page to the home page (tab bar controller exists between these two view controllers). I'm fetching the data in a custom TabBarController class and using the following code to send it (doesn't work):
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.destination is Profile { // Profile = one of the view controllers in the tab bar
let vc = segue.destination as? Profile
vc?.uid = self.userID
vc?.name = self.name
vc?.skills = self.skillSet
}
}
What is the best way to do this? Please note I can't prefetch the data before the tab bar controller as that is the login page. If I prefetch the profile page data on the home page (tab bar controller {home, search, profile}), how can I transfer it to another view controller (to profile) in the same tab bar?
What is the best way to do this?
I believe once you perform login call (Inside login screen) you will have userID and other data related to that user, so inside Login controller you have added code for making Tabbar controller as initial controller.
So based on that best thing is to store userData into tabbar controller.
So once you sore data into tabbar controller (from either login or Home Screen) you can fetch user data in any root controller (home, search, profile) which is inside tab-bar by below code.
struct User { var userID: String? }
class TabbarController: UITabBarController {
var userData: User
}
class HomeController: UIViewController {
var userData: User?
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
if let tabBar = self.tabBarController as? TabbarController {
self.userData = tabBar.userData
}
}
}
There are multiple ways you can achieve this.
Using SuperViewController,
Using SingleTone class if you want to access in other than TabbarViewVontroller subclass.
Saving in a common location like in constants if data is small.
Prefetching data in one VC e.g Home and then passing to the required VC on click.

go back to a certain viewController

my Storyboard looks like:
User can go directly from the 1st screen to the 4th. The fourth screen contains tableView, with XIB cell design. I want user to be able to tap on a cell and get to the 3rd screen and send some data with that. I know this should be done in didSelectRowAt. But is it even possible?
Yes it is possible.
Create a segue. In your storyboard, ctrl-drag from the first button on top of your 4th screen to anywhere on your second screen. You should see a new segue created in your storyboard.
Give the segue an id. Click on the newly created segue, in the right panel, set the indentifier attribute under the Indentity Inspector tab.
Perform the segue. In your didSelectRowAt, add the following line:
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "THE_ID_YOU_ASSIGNED_IN_STEP_2")
Send data to the destination segue. In your screen 4 view controller, add the following function:
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == "THE_ID_YOU_ASSIGNED_IN_STEP_2" {
if let destinationVC = segue.destination as? YOUR_SCREEN_3_VC {
// Send data to your VC, such as assigning values
}
}
}

iOS segue twice screen

I have simple app. My tableViews contains some words; I post data in post screen and I want to get back to the first tableView screen. I have use a segue for this. The problem is that each time after posting, clicking the post button opens a new tableView over the post screen. I want to return to the original.
Table View Screen -> Post Screen -> New Table View Screen
But I want
Table Vievscreen <-> Post Screen
I had the same issue.It is resolved now. Please let me know if this helps.
I already have a segue linked from table view cell to another view with name DynamicSuperView
func tableView(_tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
//Remove the below line from this function as it will perform segue.
//performSegue(withIdentifier: "DynamicSegue", sender: self)
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
// This will actually perform your segue
var DestViewController = segue.destination as! DynamicSuperView
let selectedRow = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow?.row
DestViewController.labelText = names[selectedRow!]
}
Hope this helps to somebody.
We need a LOT more information to what is provided. However this may get you started in the right way.
If you are using a navigation controller, put this in your posting view code:
navigationController!.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
If you are NOT using navigationController but instead showing the view modally, then use the following in your posting view code:
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
Most segues create a new instance of a view controller and display it on top of existing view controllers.
If you are adding a view controller to a navigation stack with a push, you want to do a pop as described in JAL's comment.
If your segue is modal, you want to do a dismissViewController:animated:
You could also set up an unwind segue, although that might be overkill for this simple case.
I'm getting the same issue here, but I realize that I just did wrong on control+click, I dragged from cell, the correct must be from tableview
I hope this help some one

Segue a ViewController over the top of SWRevealViewController side menu

I have implemented the SWRevealViewController into my app to give my app a nice side menu. My main (home) screen for the app is TableViewController.swift - this is also the only place you can access the side menu from. The side menu all works perfectly. Here is an image to show what it looks like:
The 5 options you can see in the menu, are created in a tableView I want them to all link to other view controllers. I have currently achieved this using the method they showed in the tutorial for this side menu, which is to create a segue of reveal view controller push controller. This all works.
The problem
When you press one of the options, It reveals the new view controller as the sw_front, therefore, I have lost access to the main (home) screen. For example, the VC linked to the first option 'Films I want to see' is just a plain green VC. The image below shows what happens after I have pressed that option and then tried to go back:
So you can see, the VC that appears at the front is no longer my main (home) screen.
I'd like to know is there away I can set this up so when you press an option in the side menu, it opens up the new VC over the top of the side menu, so when you close down that VC, it still shows the side menu open with the Main (home) screen in front.
I hope that makes sense. Please ask if you need to see any of my code.
I managed to find a solution!
I first created my 5 new view controllers (one for each option in the side menu)
I then linked each cell to it's view controller by creating a 'Show' segue. So my storyboard now looked like this:
I created a segue identifier for each segue.
Then in my sideMenu.swift file, I added the following:
Created variables to store the identifiers for the segues.
// Mark:- Sets the side menu segue identifiers
let smOption_One = "toFilmsIWantToSee"
let smOption_Two = "toSearchForAnyFilm"
let smOption_Three = "toMeetTheTeam"
let smOption_Four = "toContactUs"
let smOption_Five = "toTermsOfUse"
I then added the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method, and added performSegueWithIdentifier for each of my segues.
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
self.performSegueWithIdentifier(smOption_One, sender: indexPath)
self.performSegueWithIdentifier(smOption_Two, sender: indexPath)
self.performSegueWithIdentifier(smOption_Three, sender: indexPath)
self.performSegueWithIdentifier(smOption_Four, sender: indexPath)
self.performSegueWithIdentifier(smOption_Five, sender: indexPath)
}
And finally, added the prepareForSegue method. Inside this method I did a check for each identifier, and then segued to the destinationViewController.
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject!) {
if segue.identifier == smOption_One {
segue.destinationViewController as! FilmsIWantToSeeViewController
} else if segue.identifier == smOption_Two {
segue.destinationViewController as! SearchForAnyFilmViewController
} else if segue.identifier == smOption_Three {
segue.destinationViewController as! MeetTheTeamViewController
} else if segue.identifier == smOption_Four {
segue.destinationViewController as! ContactUsViewController
} else if segue.identifier == smOption_Five {
segue.destinationViewController as! TermsOfUseViewController
}
}
This perfectly creates a segue to the correct view controller, depending on which option I press, and presents it over the top of the side menu, so when I dismiss that view controller, it still shows me the side menu, and therefore allows me to get back to my main screen.
Not sure if there is an easier way of doing this, but it certainly works how I needed it to. Written in Xcode 7.2 with Swift 2.

Remove tab from TabBarController with different users iOS Swift

As you seen in the picture above, there're one login screen, tab bar will appear after login successfully.
What I want to do is, let say there are two different user such as Admin and Staff, they have different login credentials, the Admin login will show all the tab at the bottom, however, the Staff login can just see the first tab. How could I do that? Any idea or code example to refer?
In login screen you can override prepareForSegue as shown below
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if let destinationTabBar = segue.destinationViewController as? UITabBarController {
if (!isAdmin) {
destinationTabBar.viewControllers?.removeAtIndex(adminScreenIndex)
}
}
}
In the code above, you check if the user is admin in prepareForSegue method for tab bar controller. If the user is not admin, you remove needed screen (by adminScreenIndex index)
