Ok, I have looked through https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2013/218/ and SO questions similarly trying to make custom transitions with a tab bar controller and its viewcontrollers but Im running into confusion after figuring out the main steps here.
I need to know how (meaning example code would be really helpful) to call a custom UIView.transition
OR just have a custom option
in UIView.transition
. I need to use this to make a sliding/modal -mimicking transition between tabs in my tab bar controller.
The only way I can get a transition to happen is using the below function (this makes them dissolve):
func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, shouldSelect viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {
if selectedViewController == nil || viewController == selectedViewController {
return false
}
let fromView = selectedViewController!.view
let toView = viewController.view
UIView.transition(from: fromView!, to: toView!, duration: 0.3, options: [.transitionCrossDissolve], completion: nil)
return true
}
And calling it manually here where I programmatically chnage the *selectedIndex*
for my tab controller:
//SWITCHES BUTTON -------------------------------------------
func switchTab(index: Int)
{
//transition
self.tabBarController(self, shouldSelect: (viewControllers?[index])!)
I have read about and tried making a custom class UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning
but don't know how this would fit in programmatically here -
my attempts passing my tab bar controller and the toView
and fromView
into the custom class result in nothing happening/animating. That is why Ive resorted to UIView.transition here.
How can I make a custom UIView.transition
? What can I do here?
