UIView did appear?

Question

I'm wondering, is there a way to get a delegate or something, when a particular UIView has been shown on the screen ?

Answer 1

Swift version. Inside your UIView class just:

override func willMove(toWindow newWindow: UIWindow?) {
    super.willMove(toWindow: newWindow)

    if newWindow == nil {
        // UIView disappear
    } else {
        // UIView appear
    }
}

Answer 2

Another way to find out when a control is on screen is to subclass the View or Control and override drawRect... However, it's called when it's drawn and not only when first shown. So it's only sometimes what you want. It worked for my case. Make sure to call super as well! =)

Answer 3

If you manage your logic directly inside the UIView, use:

- didMoveToSuperview

If you manage your logic inside a UIViewController, use :

- viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated

Answer 4

If you are managing the UIView via a UIViewController, then you can use the -viewDidAppear: method:

- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL) animated {
   //do stuff...
   [super viewDidAppear:animated];
}

Answer 5

Try these:

– didAddSubview:
– willRemoveSubview:
– willMoveToSuperview:
– didMoveToSuperview
– willMoveToWindow:
– didMoveToWindow
- viewDidAppear:
