I have used storyboard. The app is tab bar controller based.
When push notification is clicked, I want to open specific "Notification Event" view controller from storyboard."
I have no idea what code goes into didReceiveRemoteNotification.
here my code is:
NSString *notification = [[userInfo valueForKey:#"aps"] valueForKey:#"alert"];
Dashboard *ds = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Dashboard"] ;
NotificationTable *nt = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"NotificationBoard"] ;
UIStoryboardSegue *segue = [UIStoryboardSegue segueWithIdentifier:#"NotificationBoardTable"
source:ds
destination:nt
performHandler:^{
}];
[ds performSegueWithIdentifier:#"NotificationBoardTable" sender:ds];
Let's see if this is what you want:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kReceiveNotification object:nil userInfo:YOUR_DATA_PASSING];
Then receive it in your custom tab view controller:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(YOUR_HANDLE_METHOD:) name:kReceiveNotification object:nil];
Don't forget to remove the observer when deallocating:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
Finally in that method:
[self setSelectedIndex:xxx];//If you want to switch tab

I'm sending push notification to app which is terminated and it seems that only this method is triggered. I want to open ViewController when app is launched with push notification, but it doesn't do anything just opens app.
I tried to achieve that with this code:
if (launchOptions != nil) {
NSDictionary* userInfo = [launchOptions valueForKey:#"UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey"];
NSDictionary *apsInfo = [userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"];
if (apsInfo)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"openNews" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
}
}
and tried this as well ..
if (launchOptions != nil) {
NSDictionary* userInfo = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
if (userInfo != nil)
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"openNews" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
}
}
Any ideas how to launch ViewController when app is terminated with push notification?
So I have tried to save notification info to NSUserDefaults if launchOptions != nil just to check if Im receiving notification info and that part of code is triggered and it is but for some reason this part is not working:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"openNews" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
but Im using same method and everywhere and it works fine
That won't work because you are posting a notification with no one to catch it yet.
Hmm, what you can do here is to set the initial ViewController of your application when it receives the launchOptions you specified.
You can set it using this:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"YourStoryboard" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *viewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"YourStoryboardId"];
self.window.rootViewController = viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
Be careful though in designing your navigations. Especially if you want your initial ViewController to be a page with back button that access the navigation stack.
Since you will make it your initial view controller, if it tries to popViewController, it will pop to nothing.
EDIT:
If you want it to be opened from the MainVC with a delay, you can put tnis in your MainVC
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(openAnotherVC:)
name:#"YourPostNotificationName" object:nil];
Then navigate to your desired VC in openAnotherVC: method
I want to reinitialize my app from top view controller problematically. I want my app reload the views from start.
I have tried this in applicationWillEnterForeground method:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
ActivityController *destViewController = (ActivityController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ActivityView"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:destViewController animated:YES];
But it doesn't work.
If you don't want your app to be running in the background, you can set UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend to true in your app's Info.plist
applicationDidEnterBackground and applicationWillEnterForeground,
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"popToRoot" object:nil];
and in your rootViewController's viewDidLoad (that always appears on app launch) add this:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(popToRootViewControllerAnimated) name:#"popToRoot" object:nil];
Then create a method in your rootViewController:
- (void)popToRootViewControllerAnimated
{
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
You should use [self.navigationController popToViewController:ActivityController animated:NO]; instead of popToRoot.
Refer this answer for more details.
I tried to set badgeValue for UITabBarItem when push notification is received.I am using this code. Here the UITabBarController is not a rootViewController. I tried the same thing in resign active method but there also its not working.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
UITabBarController *tabBarController = (UITabBarController *)[[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"tabBarController"] ;
[[tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2] setBadgeValue:#"1"];
}
I think that you can use NSNotificationCenter to post notification when you received a remoteNotification
In your UITabBarController initialize method
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(myNotificationReceived:) name:#"pushNotification" object:nil];
And
In myNotificationReceived:
[[self.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2] setBadgeValue:#"1"];
When you receive a remote notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"pushNotification" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
In this way, you can get whole RemoteNotification information
My NSNotification is delayed.
In myVC, I have two buttons, buttonA and buttonB. Each one is linked to their respective pdfs, pdfA and pdfB. There is a button Push, which is pressed after A or B is pressed. Push brings the user to the RVC where there is a UIWebView.
I want it so that by pushing either A or B, the UIWebView will display the respective pdf file. To debug this, I set it so that instead of changing the pdf, it will display text using NSLog. However, it doesn't work until after go back to myVC from the RVC by pressing a different button.
in myVC.m file:
- (IBAction)open_pictures_A:(id)sender
{
//do some button alert popup action/whatever button does
RootViewController *dataObject = [RootViewController new];
NSDictionary *userInfo = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:dataObject
forKey:#"buttonA"];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"MyNotification"
object:nil
userInfo:userInfo];
}
And there is one like that for buttonB, but forKey would be "buttonB"
in the viewDidLoad for myVC.m I have
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"MyNotification"
object:nil];
in my RVC,
RVC.h I have
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *property1;
And in the RVC.m I have
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// other stuff
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(eventListenerDidReceiveNotification:)
name:#"MyNotification"
object:nil];
}
- (void)eventListenerDidReceiveNotification:(NSNotification *)notif
{
if ([[notif name] isEqualToString:#"MyNotification"])
{
NSLog(#"Successfully received the notification from buttonB!");
NSDictionary *userInfo = notif.userInfo;
RootViewController *dataObject = [userInfo objectForKey:#"buttonB"];
// Your response to the notification should be placed here
NSLog(#"dataObject.property1 -> %#", dataObject.property1);
}
}
However, the log entry only shows up when I press a button to exit out of the RVC back to myVC
Here is the code I use to go from mVC to RVC
-(IBAction)goToRVC{
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
RootViewController *RVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Root"];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate.window.RootViewController = RVC;
}
Then from RVC to myVC
-(IBAction)backtomyVC{
[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] performSelector:#selector(myVC)];
[self disconnect];
}
Why is my notification action being delayed?
It's not because of delay.
When you press your button A or B you create new RVC object and you post the notification however you don't present/push RVC view controller (you just initialise it) so the RVC hasn't fired viewDidLoad method and it hasn't register itself as an observer.
After that you call goToRVC method where you create RVC object and you add it to the view hierarchy so the viewDidLoad method is call and the object register itself as an observer.
When you go back to mVC the RVC is not deallocated yet so it receive the notification and you can see the log.
Hope it's clear.
i am developing a app that has a storyboard with 3 view controllers and app in push notification enabled. and when i receive a push notification and when i tap on notification alert it should open a second view controller from my storyboard let me show my code.
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"pushNotification" object:nil userInfo:userInfo];
}
and then storyboard loads which is actually my first view controller which also have a button in it to second view controller and that is the controller i want to load. and here is the code in my first view controller.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(pushNotificationReceived) name:#"pushNotification" object:nil];
}
-(void)pushNotificationReceived{
NSString * storyboardName = #"DealerMainStoryboard";
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle: nil];
UIViewController * vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DealerBuyRequests"];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
so when i receive notification with this code app crashes when i tap on notification.
You need to get some error log but check this.
UIViewController * vc =
[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DealerBuyRequests"];
I don't think you want to create a new UIViewController , unless you really named your controller "UIViewController".
So check again the class name of the View you want to present modally
DealerBuyRequestsViewController * vc =
[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DealerBuyRequests"];
Make sure the StoryBoard Id of this View controller matches DealerBuyRequests or you will get errors.
