I am using navigation based application. I push First ViewController to Second ViewController and from Second ViewController to Third ViewController. Now I want to pop from Third ViewController to First ViewController.I am performing this task using the below code but my application crashed.
Please any body give me some proper guidelines. I can't use pop to rootViewController because it's different viewController. Thanks in advance...
In Third ViewControler i have written this:
FirstViewCtr *x=[[FirstViewCtr alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewCtr" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController popToViewController:x animated:NO];
By Writing the First Line you get the Indexes of all View Controllers and from second Line You will reach up to your Destination.
NSArray *array = [self.navigationController viewControllers];
[self.navigationController popToViewController:[array objectAtIndex:2] animated:YES];
A safer approach:
- (void)turnBackToAnOldViewController{
for (UIViewController *controller in self.navigationController.viewControllers) {
//Do not forget to import AnOldViewController.h
if ([controller isKindOfClass:[AnOldViewController class]]) {
[self.navigationController popToViewController:controller
animated:YES];
return;
}
}
}
Swifty way:
let dashboardVC = navigationController!.viewControllers.filter { $0 is YourViewController }.first!
navigationController!.popToViewController(dashboardVC, animated: true)
[self.navigationController popToViewController:[self.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1] animated:YES];
Often it is more important to do that from top of stack, so:
- (void)popToLast:(Class)aClass
{
for (int i=self.navigationController.viewControllers.count-1; i>=0; i--)
{
UIViewController *vc = self.navigationController.viewControllers[i];
if ([vc isKindOfClass:aClass])
{
[self.navigationController popToViewController:vc animated:YES];
break;
}
}
}
and you call that
popToLast:[SomeViewController class];
- (void) RetunToSpecificViewController{
for (UIViewController *controller in self.navigationController.viewControllers)
{
if ([controller isKindOfClass:[AnOldViewController class]])
{
//Do not forget to import AnOldViewController.h
[self.navigationController popToViewController:controller
animated:YES];
break;
}
}
}
Quick and safe Swift 3 version:
if let vc = navigationController.viewControllers.filter({ $0 is SpecificViewControllerClass }).first {
navigationController.popToViewController(vc, animated: true)
}
Your code creates a new instance of a view that has never been pushed onto the stack, then tries to pop back to that controller.
If you are popping back to the root view controller, you can uses popToRootViewControllerAnimated:
If you are popping back a known distance you can call popViewControllerAnimated: more than once. In your example, that would be 2 controllers so to calls. You could do the same thing by looking in viewControllers for the controller 2 from the end and popping to it.
The above suggestions are quick fixes. One best practice scenario would be to pass the controller you want to return to along to each successive controller you push. First passes itself to second, second passes that reference to third, third pops to the passed reference, which is first.
In effect, you are creating a temporary root controller. You could subclass UINavigationController and add a temporaryRoot property and a popToTemporaryRootViewControllerAnimated: method that would pop to your temporary root and clear it. When first pushes seconds, it would also set itself as the temporary root so that every controller in the stack does not have to pass a reference around. You would have to add some extra checks to unsure you never pop past the temporaryRoot without clearing it.
After lots of effort someone has created swift extension of back to a particular view controller in Swift 3.0.
extension UINavigationController {
func backToViewController(viewController: Swift.AnyClass) {
for element in viewControllers as Array {
if element.isKind(of: viewController) {
self.popToViewController(element, animated: true)
break
}
}
}
}
Method calling:
self.navigationController?.backToViewController(viewController: YourViewController.self)
Implemented & Tested in Swift 3.0
Below is Method which can useful for Navigate to any specific View Controller :
func poptoSpecificVC(viewController : Swift.AnyClass){
let viewControllers: [UIViewController] = self.navigationController!.viewControllers
for aViewController in viewControllers {
if aViewController.isKind(of: viewController) {
self.navigationController!.popToViewController(aViewController, animated: true)
break;
}
}
}
Usage :
self.poptoSpecificVC(viewController: createIntervalVC.self)
I think that .filter({...}).first is a little bit slower than .first(where: {...}).
Also this could be written more precisely to address only UIViewControllers.
extension UINavigationController {
func popToController<T: UIViewController>(_ type: T.Type, animated: Bool) {
if let vc = viewControllers.first(where: { $0 is T }) {
popToViewController(vc, animated: animated)
}
}
func popToControllerOrToRootControllerIfNotInTheStack<T: UIViewController>(_ type: T.Type, animated: Bool) {
if let vc = viewControllers.first(where: { $0 is T }) {
popToViewController(vc, animated: animated)
} else {
popToRootViewController(animated: animated)
}
}
}
Updated for Swift 3:
used below simple code, for pop to specific view controller;
for vc in self.navigationController!.viewControllers as Array {
if vc.isKind(of: YourViewControllerName) {
self.navigationController!.popToViewController(vc, animated: true)
break
}
}
Swift 4 version
if let viewController = navigationController?.viewControllers.first(where: {$0 is YourViewController}) {
navigationController?.popToViewController(viewController, animated: false)
}
You may specify another filter on .viewControllers.first as per your need e.g lets say if you have same kind of view controllers residing in the navigation controller then you may specify an additional check like below
if let viewController = navigationController?.viewControllers.first(where: {
if let current = $0 as? YourViewController {
return current.someProperty == "SOME VALUE"
}
return false } ) {
navigationController?.popToViewController(viewController, animated: false)
}
for controller in self.navigationController!.viewControllers as Array {
if controller.isKind(of: LoginVC.self) {
_ = self.navigationController!.popToViewController(controller, animated: true)
break
}
}
Put function in UIViewController
1. it checks if Specific UIViewController exists In UINavigationController then popToViewController or else pushViewController
func navigate(_ navVC: AnyClass, pushVC: UIViewController) {
for obj in self.navigationController!.viewControllers {
if obj.isMember(of: navVC) {
self.navigationController!.popToViewController(obj, animated: true)
return
}
}
self.navigationController!.pushViewController(pushVC, animated: true)
}
Use
self.navigate(ViewController.self, pushVC: self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ViewController") as! ViewController)
i have answer here. This is 100% working code for Swift > 4.X
