SWRevealViewController - RightViewController - ios

Question

I'm using SWRevealViewController for implementing two side navigation views in my application. I followed the story board method and successfully implemented the rear view and front view. I tried setting right view exactly like the rear view via storyboard, but couldn't do it.
I have set the reveal view controller segue to "sw_right" but it looks like it is not being recognized by - (void)prepareForSegue:(SWRevealViewControllerSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender which is called twice for "sw_rear" and "sw_front"
What Am I missing?
- (void)prepareForSegue:(SWRevealViewControllerSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
// $ using a custom segue we can get access to the storyboard-loaded rear/front view controllers
// the trick is to define segues of type SWRevealViewControllerSegue on the storyboard
// connecting the SWRevealViewController to the desired front/rear controllers,
// and setting the identifiers to "sw_rear" and "sw_front"
// $ these segues are invoked manually in the loadView method if a storyboard
// was used to instantiate the SWRevealViewController
// $ none of this would be necessary if Apple exposed "relationship" segues for container view controllers.
NSString *identifier = segue.identifier;
if ( [segue isKindOfClass:[SWRevealViewControllerSegue class]] && sender == nil )
{
if ( [identifier isEqualToString:SWSegueRearIdentifier] )
{
segue.performBlock = ^(SWRevealViewControllerSegue* rvc_segue, UIViewController* svc, UIViewController* dvc)
{
[self _setRearViewController:dvc animated:NO];
};
}
else if ( [identifier isEqualToString:SWSegueFrontIdentifier] )
{
segue.performBlock = ^(SWRevealViewControllerSegue* rvc_segue, UIViewController* svc, UIViewController* dvc)
{
[self _setFrontViewController:dvc animated:NO];
};
}
//This is never executed even after setting the identifier
else if ( [identifier isEqualToString:SWSegueRightIdentifier] )
{
segue.performBlock = ^(SWRevealViewControllerSegue* rvc_segue, UIViewController* svc, UIViewController* dvc)
{
[self _setRightViewController:dvc animated:NO];
};
}
}
}

here is the sample project , this is working fine I worked out for your self, the download link is
https://www.sendspace.com/file/0l2ndd
after downloaded the project u want to delete the project , use this link
https://www.sendspace.com/delete/0l2ndd/1b1bd537ad852b2fdea9b9a0cce3390f
here u were need the right swipe on the front view controller , add the UIBarButtonItem in the particular view Controller
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *rightIcon; //this is for left bar button Item
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem* revealButtonItem; //this is for right bar button Item
and add the some functions is View DidLoad
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//action for left Swipe
[self.revealButtonItem setTarget: self.revealViewController];
[self.revealButtonItem setAction: #selector( revealToggle: )];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addGestureRecognizer: self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer];
//action for Right Swipe
[self.rightIcon setTarget: self.revealViewController];
[self.rightIcon setAction: #selector( rightRevealToggle: )];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addGestureRecognizer: self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer];
}
Swift
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//action for left Swipe
self.revealButtonItem.target = self.revealViewController
self.revealButtonItem.action = "revealToggle:"
self.navigationController.navigationBar.addGestureRecognizer(self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer)
//action for Right Swipe
self.rightIcon.target = self.revealViewController
self.rightIcon.action = "rightRevealToggle:"
self.navigationController.navigationBar.addGestureRecognizer(self.revealViewController.panGestureRecognizer)
}

Answer 2

I figured out what the problem was. In loadStoryboardControllers method [self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRightIdentifier sender:nil]; was commented out. If we implement right view controller this has to be uncommented.

Answer 3

You requested that I look at this thread.
I do not have experience with storyboards.
So, I am pasting below the code I have in my projects that allow for the Right Hand Side.
Take a look at the section I commented. Hopefully, this will set you on the right path.
Good luck
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window = window;
FrontViewController *frontViewController = [[FrontViewController alloc] init];
RearViewController *rearViewController = [[RearViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *frontNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:frontViewController];
UINavigationController *rearNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rearViewController];
SWRevealViewController *revealController = [[SWRevealViewController alloc] initWithRearViewController:rearNavigationController frontViewController:frontNavigationController];
revealController.delegate = self;
// THIS SECTION RIGHT BELOW IS PROBABLY WHAT YOU WANT TO LOOK AT
RightViewController *rightViewController = rightViewController = [[RightViewController alloc] init];
rightViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
revealController.rightViewController = rightViewController;
revealController.bounceBackOnOverdraw=NO;
revealController.stableDragOnOverdraw=YES;
self.viewController = revealController;
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}

Answer 4

There is a try-catch condition between line on 435 to 444 on SWRevealViewController.m. Just rearrange the statement as following
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRightIdentifier sender:nil];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueFrontIdentifier sender:nil];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRearIdentifier sender:nil];
Now my right-menu/rightViewController is working even though i am not using the leftmenu/rearViewController.

Answer 5

you can also do what shad suggested. But if you are getting a flag with the right you can just replace
- (void)loadStoryboardControllers
if ( self.storyboard && _rearViewController == nil )
{
//Try each segue separately so it doesn't break prematurely if either Rear or Right views are not used.
#try
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRearIdentifier sender:nil];
}
#catch(NSException *exception) {}
#try
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueFrontIdentifier sender:nil];
}
#catch(NSException *exception) {}
#try
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRightIdentifier sender:nil];
}
#catch(NSException *exception) {}
}
}
with
- (void)loadStoryboardControllers
{
//[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRightIdentifier sender:nil];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueFrontIdentifier sender:nil];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRearIdentifier sender:nil];
}
as you can see i commented out
//[self performSegueWithIdentifier:SWSegueRightIdentifier sender:nil];
becasue thats the one giving you an issue. If its the front or rear you can do the same
