Interactive View Controller dismissal and changing statusBarStyle not compatible? - ios

I'm presenting a modal UINavigationController with an interactive dismiss transition. The parent view controller has a dark status bar and the modal view controller a light status bar. I'm using the iOS 7 view controller-based status bar appearance configuration.
All works fine as long as I present and dismiss the view controller non-interactively. However, when I start an interactive dismiss transition and cancel it, the status bar color remains dark.
I created a sample project. Tap the "Menu" button, then start the interactive transition by panning from the right screen edge.
Things I've tried:
calling -setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate on any of the navigation and view controllers involved after the transition has been canceled
Changing the navigationBar.barStyle to UIBarStyleDefault and back to UIBarStyleBlack
I also verified that the statusBarStyle of my modal navigation controller is set correctly:
(lldb) p (UIStatusBarStyle) [[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController] presentedViewController] preferredStatusBarStyle]
(UIStatusBarStyle) $8 = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent
Still, the status bar is black.
Any further idea what I could try?

To me this looks like a bug (rdar://15902745) in UINavigationController. After a canceled dismissal UINavigationController doesn't query again its presentedViewController for the preferredStatusBarStyle but uses the preferredStatusBarStyle from itself. I worked around this by overwriting -childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle:
- (UIViewController*)childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle {
if (self.presentedViewController) {
return self.presentedViewController.childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle;
}
return [super childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle];
}
Then, to animate the change during (and not after) the dismissal, I also overwrote -preferredStatusBarStyle.
I pushed the workaround to the sample project.

Do not forget to call
[self.transitionContext cancelInteractiveTransition];
within your's UIPercentDrivenInteractiveTransition subclasses - (void)cancelInteractiveTransition implementation. For inspiration, this is mine implementation
- (void)cancelInteractiveTransition {
id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning> transitionContext = self.transitionContext;
[transitionContext cancelInteractiveTransition];
UIView *fromView = [UIViewController fromViewForTransitioningContext:transitionContext];
UIView *toView = [UIViewController toViewForTransitioningContext:transitionContext];
if (self.presenting)
{
CGRect endFrame = CGRectOffset([[transitionContext containerView] bounds], 0, CGRectGetHeight([[transitionContext containerView] bounds]));
[UIView animateWithDuration:ANIMATION_DURATION_PAN animations:^{
toView.frame = endFrame;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[transitionContext completeTransition:NO];
}];
}
else {
CGRect endFrame = [[transitionContext containerView] bounds];
[UIView animateWithDuration:ANIMATION_DURATION_PAN animations:^{
fromView.frame = endFrame;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[transitionContext completeTransition:NO];
}];
}
}
edit: this seems to help on iOS 8.4. Tested on 7.1 but no way. Maybe Apple fixed it lately.

Custom Segue Animation Flicker

I am building an application using UISplitViewController as my root view controller (as prescribed by Apple). However, I needed a custom view for login / management to be displayed prior to the UISplitViewController, so I created a custom UIStoryboardSegue that calls some custom animations. I am attempting to recreate the push / pop segues through a modal segue, without actually pushing an popping view controllers. I've implemented everything correctly, however, at the end of my animation I have a flicker. Here is a gif of it:
Here is my custom Segue's code:
- (void)perform {
UIViewController *srcViewController = (UIViewController *) self.sourceViewController;
UIViewController *destViewController = self.destinationViewController;
UIView *prevView = srcViewController.view;
UIView *destView = destViewController.view;
UIWindow *window = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window];
[window insertSubview:destView aboveSubview:prevView];
[destView enterRight:0.1 then:^{
[destView removeFromSuperview];
[srcViewController.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated: NO completion:nil];
}];
}
And here is my custom animation (Implemented as a category on UIView):
-(void)enterRight:(float)delay then:(void(^)(void))after
{
CGPoint moveTo = self.center;
CGPoint moveFrom = self.center;
// Grab a point from off the screen
CGFloat simpleOffscreen = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width;
// come from off the right side (+)
moveFrom.x = moveFrom.x + simpleOffscreen;
self.center = moveFrom;
self.hidden = NO;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
delay:delay
usingSpringWithDamping:1
initialSpringVelocity:0.1
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
animations:^
{
self.center = moveTo;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished)
{
if (after) after();
}
];
}
As you can see in the Segue, I am animating the view into the current view controller, then without animation presenting the actual destination view controller. I think this is where the flicker is introduced, yet I am unsure about how to go about preventing this.
My Storyboard for this custom segue is
Anyone know how to implement this?

Present a transparent modal UIViewController

I'm trying to make a custom alertView (for iOS7+) on my own but I struggle with the alertView presentation.
I have a UIViewController with a black background (alpha set to 0.25f), and a alertView as subview.
When I want to show the alertView, I present modally the viewController:
-(void) show
{
UIWindow* window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
self.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalPresentationCustom;
self.transitioningDelegate = self;
[window.rootViewController presentViewController:self animated:YES completion:nil];
}
And here is my animator object:
-(NSTimeInterval) transitionDuration:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
NSLog(#"%s",__PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
return 2;
}
-(void) animateTransition:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
NSLog(#"%s",__PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
UIView* toView = [transitionContext viewForKey:UITransitionContextToViewKey];
toView.alpha = 0;
UIView* container = [transitionContext containerView];
[container addSubview:toView];
[UIView animateWithDuration:[self transitionDuration:transitionContext] animations:^{
toView.alpha = 0.5;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
}];
}
The thing is: the modal VC is fading with the presenting VC in background as its supposed to do, but when the animation ends the presenting VC is removed from the background.
If I call [transitionContext completeTransition:YES]; instead, the presenting VC is in background but the modal VC is removed at animation end, so I guess the context cancels the presentation if we send 'NO'.
Is there a way to keep the presenting VC in background without having to make a snapshot of it and set it as background of the modal VC's view?
I've tried this solution and it works on both iOS 7 and 8:
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion integerValue] >= 8)
{
//For iOS 8
presentingViewController.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = YES;
presentingViewController.definesPresentationContext = YES;
presentedViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;
}
else
{
//For iOS 7
presentingViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
}
Note: Be aware of the difference between 'presentingViewController' and 'presentedViewController'.
iOS8+
For iOS8+ you can use below code snippet
SecondViewController *secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
secondViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:secondViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
My case might differ from yours, but the information might be useful for the conversation.
In Storyboard, I changed my segue's Presentation to state "Over Full Screen" and it did the trick.
I think what you are seeing is the default behavior of iOS.
View controllers are not supposed to be non-opaque when presented as modal view controllers. iOS removes the underlaying view controller when the animation is complete, in order to speed up composition when the presented view controller is supposed to take up the entire screen. There is no reason to draw a view controller - which might be complex in it's view hierarchy - when it is not even visible on screen.
I think your only solution is to do a custom presentation.
Remark: I did not test this. But it goes something like this.
/* Create a window to hold the view controller. */
UIWindow *presenterWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] init];
/* Make the window transparent. */
presenterWindow.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
presenterWindow.opaque = NO;
/* Set the window rootViewController to the view controller you
want to display as a modal. */
presenterWindow.rootViewController = myModalViewController;
/* Setup animation */
CGRect windowEndFrame = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds;
CGRect windowStartFrame = windowEndFrame;
/* Adjust the start frame to appear from the bottom of the screen. */
windowStartFrame.origin.y = windowEndFrame.size.height;
/* Set the window start frame. */
presenterWindow.frame = windowStartFrame;
/* Put the window on screen. */
[presenterWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
/* Perform the animation. */
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
delay:.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut
animations:^{
presenterWindow.frame = windowEndFrame;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
/* Your transition end code */
}];
This does however leave you with no option to use any of the presenting view controller logic build into UIViewController. You'll need to figure yourself, when the presented view controller is done, and then reverse the animation and remove the UIWindow from screen.
The ViewController is not supposed to be transparent when you present it or push it. You can try adding it as subview. And for transition effect change its frame immediately after adding as subview. Make its frame somewhere outside the visible view and then animate it to change frame to visible view.
Hope this helps.
For your information,
I finally made my custom alertView a subclass of UIView for the "popUp part".
To show it, I just add the alertView as subview of the keyWindow with the constraints to center it, and put a transparent black background view behind it.
As it's not a controller, I have to manage UI rotation by myself (only for iOS 7, it rotates well with the UI in iOS 8).

UINavigation Bar not visible in animation of custom unwind segue

I am using a custom unwind segue in a navigation controller, in the animation of the segue the navigation bar is not visible during the animation, when the animation ends the navigation bar 'pops'. ¿How can i retain the visibility of the navigation bar during the animation?
More details:
I have a button in the navigation bar that calls modal view this animation performs as expected, the new view has a button to trigger the unwind segue animation the view to grow and disappear, while this animation is performing the Navigation Bar in the destination view controller is not visible until the animation is finished.
This is the code i'm using for the custom segue.
- (void) perform {
UIViewController *sourceViewcontroller = self.sourceViewController;
UIViewController *destinationViewcontroller = self.destinationViewController;
[sourceViewcontroller.view.superview insertSubview:destinationViewcontroller.view atIndex:0];
[destinoViewcontroller beginAppearanceTransition:YES animated:YES];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut
animations:^{
origenViewcontroller.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.5, 1.5);
origenViewcontroller.view.alpha = 0.0;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
[destinationViewcontroller.view removeFromSuperview];
[sourceViewcontroller dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:NULL];
}];
}
Ok, so i think i got it, what i did was inserting the whole navigation controller view in the superview of the source view and removing the code to remove the destination view from the superview and setting to YES the option of dismissViewControllerAnimated like this:
- (void) perform {
UIViewController *origenViewcontroller = self.sourceViewController;
UIViewController *destinoViewcontroller = self.destinationViewController;
[origenViewcontroller.view.superview insertSubview:destinoViewcontroller.navigationController.view atIndex:0];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.4
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut
animations:^{
origenViewcontroller.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(2.0, 2.0);
origenViewcontroller.view.alpha = 0.0;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
[origenViewcontroller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}];
}
I'm still not sure if this is the correct way to do it.
You could embed the destinationViewController in a UINavigationController too and set your segue from the sourceViewController to the Navigation Controller.

ios 7 custom present and dismiss transition

I'm making custom present and dismiss transitions and have some problems with it. What I want to do is repeat this cool deep animations in iOS 7 (when we open/close some app).
I have First and Second Controllers. All animations are in First controller (it supports UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate and UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning). So, I'm just checking: if it is presenting - I'm doing one animations (scaling up first and second view), if it is dismissing - I'm doing another animation (scaling down first and second view). Present animation works fine, the problem occurs with dismiss animation. In some reason when I'm scaling down my second controller (it is UINavigationController), I see black background behind it (and it's wrong, because I want to see my First controller while it's scaling down). Here is my code from First Controller
- (void)animateTransition:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext {
UIView *transitionView = [transitionContext containerView];
id toViewController = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey];
id fromViewController = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey];
BOOL isPresenting;
isPresenting = [toViewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]];
UINavigationController *navigator = isPresenting ? toViewController : fromViewController;
if (isPresenting) {
[transitionView addSubview:navigator.view];
navigator.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.1, 0.1);
navigator.view.alpha = 0;
}
navigator.view.center = self.startButton.center;
void(^AnimationBlock)(void) = ^ {
if (isPresenting) {
navigator.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, 1);
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(4, 4);
navigator.view.alpha = 1;
self.startButton.alpha = 0;
} else {
navigator.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.1, 0.1);
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, 1);
navigator.view.alpha = 0;
self.startButton.alpha = 1;
}
};
[UIView animateWithDuration:1
delay:0.0f
usingSpringWithDamping:50.0
initialSpringVelocity:4
options:UIViewAnimationOptionLayoutSubviews
animations:^{
AnimationBlock();
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
if (!isPresenting) {
[navigator.view removeFromSuperview];
}
}];
}
- (void)completeTransitionInContext:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext{
[transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
}
- (NSTimeInterval)transitionDuration:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext{
return 1;
}
- (id <UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForPresentedController:(UIViewController *)presented presentingController:(UIViewController *)presenting sourceController:(UIViewController *)source {
return self;
}
- (id <UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForDismissedController:(UIViewController *)dismissed {
return self;
}
Please tell me if I should to provide some additional code or screens.
Thanks in advance!
You need to set modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCustom on the toVC before presenting it if you want to keep the fromVC in the window hierarchy after the present transition completes.
See my implementation of the sample code for WWDC Session 218: Custom Transitions Using View Controllers. If you click on 'Options' you'll see this type of transition. The relevant code is in SOLViewController.m prepareForSegue: and SOLOptionsTransitionAnimator.m
https://github.com/soleares/SOLPresentingFun
When you present the custom VC, you should use:
vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCustom;
but, if you typed wrong to
vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalPresentationCustom;
you will get a black background behind the custom VC.
I think it is a good idea to use two separate AnimationController classes for Present and Dismiss animations and implement UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate ( animationControllerForPresentedController and animationControllerForDismissedController ) inside your Parent ViewController.
To create an AnimationController just subclass NSObject and implement UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning there.
Hope it helps.

Nice slide transition between non-fullscreen and fullscreen UIViewController

I have a view controller which is not fullscreen (has a status bar) and want to present a modal view controller which is fullscreen.
If I hide the status bar at the beginning of the animation (parent's viewWillDisappear or modal's viewWillAppear) then for a moment the parent will be visible without a status bar, looking like a bug.
If I do it at the end of the animation (parent's viewDidDisappear or modal's viewDidAppear) then the status bar will be visible for a moment over the modal view, i.e. it won't appear as the modal view "covered it".
Is there a way to do this nicely?
edit:
One possibility would be to create a UIWindow with windowLevel=alert for at least the duration of the animation. The sample iAd ad seems to cover the status bar nicely without another window, so it must be possible somehow.
Another fun little project. This was the best I could come up with. It's not too bad if you don't mind using your own container controller to manage presenting/dismissing view controllers. I try to do things in a general way but this could be rolled into an app w/ the ContainerViewController if desired.
Note that I only implemented the equivalent of UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical. You can customize the animation however you like as well.
Relevant animation code:
- (void)presentViewController:(UIViewController *)viewControllerToPresent
{
// do nothing if no controller
if (!viewControllerToPresent) return;
[__viewControllers addObject:viewControllerToPresent];
CGRect toFrame = viewControllerToPresent.view.frame;
toFrame.origin = CGPointMake(0, CGRectGetMaxY(self.view.bounds));
viewControllerToPresent.view.frame = toFrame;
[UIView transitionWithView:self.view
duration:0.2
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionNone
animations:^{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:viewControllerToPresent.wantsFullScreenLayout withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
[self.view addSubview:viewControllerToPresent.view];
viewControllerToPresent.view.frame = [UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame;
}
completion:nil];
}
- (void)dismissViewController
{
// nothing to dismiss if showing first controller
if (__viewControllers.count <= 1) return;
UIViewController *currentViewController = [__viewControllers lastObject];
UIViewController *previousViewController = [__viewControllers objectAtIndex:__viewControllers.count - 2];
[UIView transitionWithView:self.view
duration:0.2
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionNone
animations:^{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:previousViewController.wantsFullScreenLayout withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
CGRect toFrame = currentViewController.view.frame;
toFrame.origin = CGPointMake(0, CGRectGetMaxY(self.view.bounds));
currentViewController.view.frame = toFrame;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[currentViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
[__viewControllers removeLastObject];
}];
}
I do that in my app with this code:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimationSlide ];
DocumentListViewController * dl = [[DocumentListViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DocumentListView" bundle:nil] ;
UINavigationController * nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:dl];
[dl release];
// Go to the list of documents...
[[self.view superview] addSubview:nav.view];
nav.view.alpha = 0.0 ;
[self hideActivityAlert];
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
nav.view.alpha = 1.0; } completion:^(BOOL A){
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
[self release];} ];
The status bar is presented shoftly while the animation occurs.
You have to be sure that the first view, when status bar is going hidden will fill the space. Use the property autoresizingMask with proper value.
Here's a solution that seems to work. You can derive the viewcontroller you want to present modally from my TSFullScreenModalViewController, or you can just implement the code right in the view controller itself.
#interface TSFullScreenModalViewController : UIViewController
{
UIWindow* _window;
}
- (void) presentFullScreenModal;
#end
#implementation TSFullScreenModalViewController
- (void) viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidDisappear: YES];
[_window resignKeyWindow];
[_window release];
_window = nil;
}
- (void) presentFullScreenModal
{
UIViewController* rvc = [[UIViewController new] autorelease];
rvc.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
_window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame: [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds] ;
_window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar+1;
_window.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
_window.rootViewController = rvc;
[_window makeKeyAndVisible];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES;
[rvc presentModalViewController: self animated: YES];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = NO;
}
#end
Derive your modal view controller, like this:
#interface MyModalViewController : TSFullScreenModalViewController
{
}
- (IBAction) onDismiss:(id)sender;
#end
Use it from another view controller, like this:
- (IBAction) onShowModal:(id)sender
{
MyModalViewController* mmvc = [[MyModalViewController new] autorelease];
[mmvc presentFullScreenModal];
}
Finally, dismiss your view controller as you normally would:
- (IBAction) onDismiss:(id)sender
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: YES];
}
Might be a bit of a hack but have you considered:
Take a screenshot programatically of the first view with the status bar (see this SO question)
Create a new view which displays the image you just took in fullscreen (using UIImage's initWithFrame)
Hide the status bar
Present the modal view controller
Then to dismiss the modal view, just reverse the steps.
EDIT:
Won't work for this because you can't take screenshots of the status bar.
It could be as simple as delaying the presentation of your modalViewController using performSelector:withDelay:
Tell the status bar to animate out and then launch the modal controller with the right delay so it coincides with the status bar animation.
