I'm populating a List with a Realm Result set.
When navigating from this list it opens a new view then automatically closes that view.
Using a struct presents no issue.
Why would the second view automatically close?
I have a screen recording but cant post here.
import SwiftUI
import Combine
struct TestStruct:Identifiable{
let id = UUID()
let firstname: String
}
extension TestStruct {
static func all() -> [TestStruct]{
return[
TestStruct(firstname: "Joe"),
TestStruct(firstname: "Jane"),
TestStruct(firstname: "Johns")
]
}
}
struct TestListView: View {
let realmList = Horoscope.getHoroscopes() //Fetches from Realm
let structList = TestStruct.all()
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
// This owrks
// List(structList) { item in
// MyItemRow(itemTxt: item.firstname)
// }
//This automatically closes the view
List(realmList) { item in
MyItemRow(itemTxt: item.firstname)
}
.navigationBarTitle("Charts", displayMode: .automatic)
.navigationBarItems(trailing: EditButton())
}
}
}
struct MyItemRow: View {
var itemTxt:String
var body: some View {
NavigationLink(destination: Text("Test")) {
Text(itemTxt)
}
}
}
struct TestListView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
TestListView()
}
}
I think the answer can be found here
In short, do not generate the id of the collection on which the ForEach iterates. It would detect a change and navigate back.
Realm object has an auto generated id property with each reference, try replacing it with a consistent id
The following solution worked for me.
The code with an issue (specifying id: \.self is the root cause since it uses the hash calculated from all objects the Stream object consists of, including the data that lies in a subarray).
...
List(streams, id: \.self) { stream in
...
The code with no issues:
...
List(streams, id: \._id) { stream in
// or even List(streams) { stream in
...
The streams is a #ObservedResults(Stream.self) var streams and the object scheme is:
final class Stream: Object, ObjectKeyIdentifiable {
#Persisted(primaryKey: true) var _id: ObjectId
#Persisted var title: String
#Persisted var subtitle: String?
#Persisted var topics = RealmSwift.List<Topic>()
// tags, etc.
}
The issue happened when I added new topic at the topics list in the first stack of the navigationView.

I'm trying to build an app (macOS, but would be the same for iOS) that creates a number of grids, the outcome of which is to be shown in a second screen. For this, I'm sharing data across these screens, and I'm running into an issue here, I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. I'll share a simplified version of the code below (working in Xcode 14.0.1)
The code creates a dictionary that can be shown in a grid, on which calculations can be done. The idea is then to add this grid, with some descriptive variables, into another dictionary
The building blocks of the grid are cells
Import Foundation
struct Cell: Comparable, Equatable, Identifiable, Hashable {
static func == (lhs: Cell, rhs: Cell) -> Bool {
lhs.randomVarOne == rhs.randomVarOne
}
var randomVarOne: Double
var randomVarTwo: Bool
// other vars omitted here
var id: Int { randomVarOne }
static func < (lhs: Cell, rhs: Cell) -> Bool {
return lhs.randomVarOne < rhs.randomVarOne
}
}
this is also where there are a bunch of funcs to calculate next neighbor cells in the grid etc
then the grid is defined in a class:
class Info: ObservableObject, Hashable {
static func == (lhs: Info, rhs: Info) -> Bool {
lhs.grid == rhs.grid
}
func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) {
hasher.combine(grid)
}
#Published var grid = [Cell]()
var arrayTotal = 900
#Published var toBeUsedForTheGridCalculations: Double = 0.0
var toBeUsedToSetTheVarAbove: Double = 0.0
var rowTotalDouble: Double {sqrt(Double(arrayTotal)) }
var rowTotal: Int {
Int(rowTotalDouble) != 0 ? Int(rowTotalDouble) : 10 }
The class includes a func to create and populate the grid with Cells and add these Cells to the grid var. It also includes the formulas to do the calculations on the grid using a user input. The class did not seem to need an initializer.
This is the Scenario struct:
struct Scenario: Comparable, Equatable, Identifiable, Hashable {
static func == (lhs: Scenario, rhs: Scenario) -> Bool {
lhs.scenarioNumber == rhs.scenarioNumber
}
func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) {
hasher.combine(scenarioNumber)
}
var scenarioNumber: Int
var date: Date
var thisIsOneSnapshot = [Info]()
var id: Int { scenarioNumber }
static func < (lhs: Scenario, rhs: Scenario) -> Bool {
return lhs.scenarioNumber < rhs.scenarioNumber
}
}
added hashable since it uses the Info class as an input.
Then there is the class showing the output overview
class OutputOverview: ObservableObject {
#Published var snapshot = [Scenario]()
// the class includes a formula of how to add the collection of cells (grid) and the additional variables to the snapshot dictionary. Again no initializer was necessary.
Now to go to the ContentView.
struct ContentView: View {
#Environment(\.openURL) var openURL
var scenarioNumberInput: Int = 0
var timeStampAssigned: Date = Date.now
#ObservedObject private var currentGrid: Info = Info()
#ObservedObject private var scenarios: Combinations = Combinations()
var usedForTheCalculations: Double = 0.0
var rows =
[
GridItem(.flexible()),
// whole list of GridItems, I do not know how to calculate these:
// var rows = Array(repeating: GridItem(.flexible()), count: currentGrid.rowTotal)
//gives error "Cannot use instance member 'currentGrid' within property initializer;
// property iunitializers run before 'self' is available
]
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
VStack {
ScrollView {
LazyHGrid(rows: rows, spacing: 0) {
ForEach(0..<currentGrid.grid.count, id :\.self) { w in
let temp = currentGrid.grid[w].varThatAffectsFontColor
let temp2 = currentGrid.grid[w].varThatAffectsBackground
Text("\(currentGrid.grid[w].randomVarOne, specifier: "%.2f")")
.frame(width: 25, height: 25)
.border(.black)
.font(.system(size: 7))
.foregroundColor(Color(wordName: temp))
.background(Color(wordName: temp2))
}
}
.padding(.top)
}
VStack{
HStack {
Button("Start") {
}
// then some buttons to do the calculations
Button("Add to collection"){
scenarios.addScenario(numbering: scenarioNumberInput, timeStamp:
Date.now, collection: currentGrid.grid)
} // this should add the newly recalculated grid to the dictionary
Button("Go to Results") {
guard let url = URL(string: "myapp://scenario") else { return }
openURL(url)
} // to go to the screen showing the scenarios
Then the second View, the ScenarioView:
struct ScenarioView: View {
#State var selectedScenario = 1
#ObservedObject private var scenarios: OutputOverview
var pickerNumbers = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5]
// this is to be linked to the number of scenarios completed,this code is not done yet.
var rows =
[
GridItem(.flexible()),
GridItem(.flexible()),
// similar list of GridItems here....
var body: some View {
Form {
Section {
Picker("Select a scenario", selection: $selectedScenario) {
ForEach(pickerNumbers, id: \.self) {
Text("\($0)")
}
}
}
Section {
ScrollView {
if let idx = scenarios.snapshot.firstIndex(where:
{$0.scenarioNumber == selectedScenario}) {
LazyHGrid(rows: rows, spacing: 0) {
ForEach(0..<scenarios.snapshot[idx].thisIsOneSnapshot.count,
id :\.self) { w in
let temp =
scenarios.snapshot[idx].thisIsOneSnapshot[w].varThatAffectsFontColor
let temp2 =
scenarios.snapshot[idx].thisIsOneSnapshot[w].varThatAffectsBackground
Text("\(scenarios.snapshot[idx].thisIsOneSnapshot[w].randomVarOne, specifier: "%.2f")")
.frame(width: 25, height: 25)
.border(.black)
.font(.system(size: 7))
.foregroundColor(Color(wordName: temp))
.background(Color(wordName: temp2))
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Now while the above does not (for the moment..) give me error messages, I am not able to run the PreviewProvider in the second View. The main problem is in #main:
import SwiftUI
#main
struct ThisIsTheNameOfMyApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
.handlesExternalEvents(matching: ["main"])
WindowGroup("Scenarios") {
ScenarioView()
// error messages here: 'ScenarioView' initializer is inaccessible due to "private"
// protection level - I don't know what is set to private in ScenarioView that could
// cause this
// second error message: missing argument for parameter 'scenarios' in call
}
.handlesExternalEvents(matching: ["scenario"])
}
}
I am at a loss on how to solve these 2 error messages and would be very grateful for any tips or guidance. Apologies if this question is very long, I scanned many other forum questions and could not find any good answers.
I have tried adding pro forma data in #main as follows
#main
struct FloodModelScenarioViewerApp: App {
#State var scenarios = Scenario(scenarioNumber: 1, date: Date.now)
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
.handlesExternalEvents(matching: ["main"])
WindowGroup("Scenarios") {
ScenarioView(scenarios: scenarios)
}
.handlesExternalEvents(matching: ["scenario"])
}
}
This still gives 2 error messages:
same issue with regards to ScenarioView initialiser being inaccessible due to being 'private'
Cannot convert value of type 'Scenario' to expected argument type 'OutputOverview'
Just remove the private from
#ObservedObject private var scenarios: OutputOverview
The value is coming from he parent so the parent needs access. So put
#StateObject private var scenarios: OutputOverview = .init()
in FloodModelScenarioViewerApp
#StateObject is for initializing ObservableObjects and #ObservedObject is for passing them around.
I don't know if your code will work after you read this question, and that's because there are many things to correct, but you can start with these:
In Cell, you shouldn't use an id that is a variable, this may cause inconsistent behavior. Use something like:
let id = UUID()
When you initialize ContentView, you can't use currentGrid inside a variable because currentGrid will not be available before all variables are initialized. Meaning, you are trying to initialize rows before currentGrid actually exists. You can try using the .onAppear modifier:
var rows = [GridItem]()
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
// ... view code in here
}
.onAppear {
var rows = Array(repeating: GridItem(.flexible()), count: currentGrid.rowTotal)
}
}
This creates the view and, before showing it, the grid is set to its proper value.
The message 'ScenarioView' initializer is inaccessible due to "private" protection level seems clear: you must provide a value to to the variable scenarios (it doesn't have a default value) but it's marked as private. Remove private.
#ObservedObject var scenarios: OutputOverview
Then, remember to pass a value of type OutputOverview for the variable when you call the view:
ScenarioView(scenarios: aVariableOfTypeOutputOverview)
The type mismatch error you get inside the #main code is also clear - you have defined a variable of type Scenario:
#State var scenarios = Scenario(scenarioNumber: 1, date: Date.now)
but ScenarioView requires another type:
#ObservedObject private var scenarios: OutputOverview
One of them needs change for your code to work.
I'm using Google Firebase's Cloud Firestore service with a SwiftUI project that details strategies in a video game on a per-map basis. I'm using a View, ViewModel, Model architecture. It might also be worth noting that I'm using the Swift Package Manager to import the APIs rather than CocoaPods.
I have a ScrollView with a few maps fetched from a Firestore Collection. Tapping on the map will present the user with another ScrollView listing the strategies fetched from a separate collection in Firestore. The issue I'm experiencing is that, whenever a UserDefault is changed (either using UserDefaults.standard.setValue(...) or #AppStorage("settingName") var...) the contents of the ScrollView disappear. There's no relationship between the Firestore data and UserDefaults (nothing being saved from one to the other).
This only happens to the detail view, not the main view, despite the code being copied and pasted from one ViewModel swift file to the other.
Here's the StratsViewModel.swift code:
class StratsViewModel: ObservableObject {
#Published var strats = [Strat]()
private var db = Firestore.firestore()
func fetchData(forMap: String) {
if strats.isEmpty {
db.collection("maps/\(forMap)/strats").getDocuments { (querySnapshot, error) in
guard let documents = querySnapshot?.documents else {
return
}
self.strats = documents.map { (queryDocumentSnapshot) -> Strat in
let data = queryDocumentSnapshot.data()
let id = queryDocumentSnapshot.documentID
let name = data["name"] as? String ?? ""
let map = data["map"] as? String ?? ""
let type = data["type"] as? String ?? ""
let side = data["side"] as? String ?? ""
let strat = Strat(id: id, name: name, map: map, type: type, side: side)
return strat
}
}
}
}
}
In the MapsDetailView.swift (presented by MapsView.swift) ScrollView, the strategies are displayed like so:
struct MapsDetailView: View {
var map: Map
#ObservedObject private var viewModel = StratsViewModel()
var body: some View {
ScrollView {
ForEach(viewModel.strats, id: \.self) { strat in
NavigationLink(destination: StratView()) {
StratCell(strat: strat)
}
}
}
.onAppear() {
self.viewModel.fetchData(forMap: map.id)
}
}
}
If I were to add a button to the view, for example, that set any value to any key in UserDefaults, the dozens of items in the ScrollView disappear.
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
Button {
UserDefaults.standard.setValue("test", forKey: "testKey")
} label: {
Text("Don't press me!")
}
}
}
Using the TabBar to navigate to another view, and then back to the MapDetailView will trigger the .onAppear method however, adding a breakpoint to the ForEach line shown above, reveals that this loop doesn't run again until the view is entirely dismissed and reopened.
The issue also crops up when switching tabs in the TabBar as, onAppear, each view sets a tabSelection key to remember which tab the user last selected when the app is killed. Switching from one tab, back to the MapsDetailView tab will remove all cells in the ScrollView.
Any thoughts? Happy to share more source code if necessary.
When you initialize the viewModel, you should use #StateObject instead of #ObservedObject. The two property wrappers are almost the same, except the #StateObject will make sure that the object stays "alive" when the view is updated / re-rendered, rather than re-initializing. Here are some great resources on this topic:
What is #StateObject?
#ObservedObject vs #StateObject vs #EnvironmentObject
Hey I am very new to tornadofx struggeling with async loading of data for the treeview. I am loading categories from a rest endpoint, which I want to show in there.
It seems like there's no direct data binding to the children.
when using 'bindChildren' I can provide the observable list, but I have to convert them into Node's. which then would make the populate block kind of obsolete.
What's the recommended way of doing this? I cannot find anything about this.
// Category
interface Category<T : Category<T>> {
val id: String
val name: String
val subcategories: List<T>?
}
//default category:
class DefaultCategory(override val name: String) : Category<DefaultCategory> {
override val id: String = "default"
override val subcategories: List<DefaultCategory>? = null
}
//ViewModel
class CategoryViewModel : ViewModel() {
val sourceProperty = SimpleListProperty<Category<*>>()
fun loadData() {
// load items for treeview into 'newItems'
sourceProperty.value = newItems
}
}
// TreeViewFactoryMethod
private fun createTreeView(
listProperty: SimpleListProperty<Category<*>>
): TreeView<Category<*>> {
return treeview {
root = TreeItem(DefaultCategory("Categories"))
isShowRoot = false
root.isExpanded = true
root.children.forEach { it.isExpanded = true }
cellFormat { text = it.name }
populate { parent ->
when (parent) {
root -> listProperty.value
else -> parent.value.subcategories
}
}
}
}
Assuming that on a button click I call viewmodel.loadData(), I would expect the TreeView to update as soon as there's some new data. (If I would've found a way to bind)
I've never had to use bindChildren for TornadoFX before and your use of async isn't very relevant to what I think is your primary problem. So, admittedly, this question kind of confused me at first but I'm guessing you're just wondering why the list isn't appearing in your TreeView? I've made a test example with changes to make it work.
// Category
interface Category<T : Category<T>> {
val id: String
val name: String
val subcategories: List<T>?
}
//default category:
class DefaultCategory(override val name: String) : Category<DefaultCategory> {
override val id: String = "default"
override val subcategories: List<DefaultCategory>? = null
}
//Just a dummy category
class ChildCategory(override val name: String) : Category<ChildCategory> {
override val id = name
override val subcategories: List<ChildCategory>? = null
}
//ViewModel
class CategoryViewModel : ViewModel() {
//filled with dummy data
val sourceProperty = SimpleListProperty<Category<*>>(listOf(
ChildCategory("Categorya"),
ChildCategory("Categoryb"),
ChildCategory("Categoryc"),
ChildCategory("Categoryd")
).asObservable())
fun loadData() {
sourceProperty.asyncItems {
//items grabbed somehow
listOf(
ChildCategory("Category1"),
ChildCategory("Category2"),
ChildCategory("Category3"),
ChildCategory("Category4")
).asObservable()
}
}
}
class TestView : View() {
val model: CategoryViewModel by inject()
override val root = vbox(10) {
button("Refresh Items").action {
model.loadData()
}
add(createTreeView(model.sourceProperty))
}
// TreeViewFactoryMethod
private fun createTreeView(
listProperty: SimpleListProperty<Category<*>>
): TreeView<Category<*>> {
return treeview {
root = TreeItem(DefaultCategory("Categories"))
isShowRoot = false
root.isExpanded = true
root.children.forEach { it.isExpanded = true }
cellFormat { text = it.name }
populate { parent ->
when (parent) {
root -> listProperty
else -> parent.value.subcategories
}
}
}
}
}
There are 2 important distinctions that are important.
1. The more relevant distinction is that inside the populate block, root -> listProperty is used instead of root.listProperty.value. This will make your list appear. The reason is that a SimpleListProperty is not a list, it holds a list. So, yes, passing in a plain list is perfectly valid (like how you passed in the value of the list property). But now that means the tree view isn't listening to your property, just the list you passed in. With that in mind, I would be considerate over the categories' subcategory lists are implemented as well.
2. Secondly, notice the use of asyncItems in the ViewModel. This will perform whatever task asynchronously, then set the items to list on success. You can even add fail or cancel blocks to it. I'd recommend using this, as long/intensive operations aren't supposed to be performed on the UI thread.
I'm creating a new watchOS app using SwiftUI and Combine trying to use a MVVM architecture, but when my viewModel changes, I can't seem to get a Text view to update in my View.
I'm using watchOS 6, SwiftUI and Combine. I am using #ObservedObject and #Published when I believe they should be used, but changes aren't reflected like I would expect.
// Simple ContentView that will push the next view on the navigation stack
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationLink(destination: NewView()) {
Text("Click Here")
}
}
}
struct NewView: View {
#ObservedObject var viewModel: ViewModel
init() {
viewModel = ViewModel()
}
var body: some View {
// This value never updates
Text(viewModel.str)
}
}
class ViewModel: NSObject, ObservableObject {
#Published var str = ""
var count = 0
override init() {
super.init()
// Just something that will cause a property to update in the viewModel
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1.0, repeats: true) { [weak self] _ in
self?.count += 1
self?.str = "\(String(describing: self?.count))"
print("Updated count: \(String(describing: self?.count))")
}
}
}
Text(viewModel.str) never updates, even though the viewModel is incrementing a new value ever 1.0s. I have tried objectWillChange.send() when the property updates, but nothing works.
Am I doing something completely wrong?
For the time being, there is a solution that I luckily found out just by experimenting. I'm yet to find out what the actual reason behind this. Until then, you just don't inherit from NSObject and everything should work fine.
class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
#Published var str = ""
var count = 0
init() {
// Just something that will cause a property to update in the viewModel
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1.0, repeats: true) { [weak self] _ in
self?.count += 1
self?.str = "\(String(describing: self?.count))"
print("Updated count: \(String(describing: self?.count))")
}
}
}
I've tested this and it works.
A similar question also addresses this issue of the publisher object being a subclass of NSObject. So you may need to rethink if you really need an NSObject subclass or not. If you can't get away from NSObject, I recommend you try one of the solutions from the linked question.
In Objective-C, I would normally use something like this:
static NSString *kViewTransformChanged = #"view transform changed";
// or
static const void *kViewTransformChanged = &kViewTransformChanged;
[clearContentView addObserver:self
forKeyPath:#"transform"
options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew
context:&kViewTransformChanged];
I have two overloaded methods to choose from to add an observer for KVO with the only difference being the context argument:
clearContentView.addObserver(observer: NSObject?, forKeyPath: String?, options: NSKeyValueObservingOptions, context: CMutableVoidPointer)
clearContentView.addObserver(observer: NSObject?, forKeyPath: String?, options: NSKeyValueObservingOptions, kvoContext: KVOContext)
With Swift not using pointers, I'm not sure how to dereference a pointer to use the first method.
If I create my own KVOContext constant for use with the second method, I wind up with it asking for this:
let test:KVOContext = KVOContext.fromVoidContext(context: CMutableVoidPointer)
EDIT: What is the difference between CMutableVoidPointer and KVOContext? Can someone give me an example how how to use them both and when I would use one over the other?
EDIT #2: A dev at Apple just posted this to the forums: KVOContext is going away; using a global reference as your context is the way to go right now.
There is now a technique officially recommended in the documentation, which is to create a private mutable variable and use its address as the context.
(Updated for Swift 3 on 2017-01-09)
// Set up non-zero-sized storage. We don't intend to mutate this variable,
// but it needs to be `var` so we can pass its address in as UnsafeMutablePointer.
private static var myContext = 0
// NOTE: `static` is not necessary if you want it to be a global variable
observee.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: …, options: [], context: &MyClass.myContext)
override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey: Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
if context == &myContext {
…
}
else {
super.observeValue(forKeyPath: keyPath, of: object, change: change, context: context)
}
}
Now that KVOContext is gone in Xcode 6 beta 3, you can do the following. Define a global (i.e. not a class property) like so:
let myContext = UnsafePointer<()>()
Add an observer:
observee.addObserver(observer, forKeyPath: …, options: nil, context: myContext)
In the observer:
override func observeValueForKeyPath(keyPath: String!, ofObject object: AnyObject!, change: [NSObject : AnyObject]!, context: UnsafePointer<()>) {
if context == myContext {
…
} else {
super.observeValueForKeyPath(keyPath, ofObject: object, change: change, context: context)
}
}
Swift 4 - observing contentSize change on UITableViewController popover to fix incorrect size
I had been searching for an answer to change to a block based KVO because I was getting a swiftlint warning and it took me piecing quite a few different answers together to get to the right solution. Swiftlint warning:
Block Based KVO Violation: Prefer the new block based KVO API with keypaths when using Swift 3.2 or later. (block_based_kvo).
My use case was to present a popover controller attached to a button in a Nav bar in a view controller and then resize the popover once it's showing - otherwise it would be too big and not fitting the contents of the popover. The popover itself was a UITableViewController that contained static cells, and it was displayed via a Storyboard segue with style popover.
To setup the block based observer, you need the following code inside your popover UITableViewController:
// class level variable to store the statusObserver
private var statusObserver: NSKeyValueObservation?
// Create the observer inside viewWillAppear
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
statusObserver = tableView.observe(\UITableView.contentSize,
changeHandler: { [ weak self ] (theTableView, _) in self?.popoverPresentationController?.presentedViewController.preferredContentSize = theTableView.contentSize
})
}
// Don't forget to remove the observer when the popover is dismissed.
override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
if let observer = statusObserver {
observer.invalidate()
statusObserver = nil
}
super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
}
I didn't need the previous value when the observer was triggered, so left out the options: [.new, .old] when creating the observer.
Update for Swift 4
Context is not required for block-based observer function and existing #keyPath() syntax is replaced with smart keypath to achieve swift type safety.
class EventOvserverDemo {
var statusObserver:NSKeyValueObservation?
var objectToObserve:UIView?
func registerAddObserver() -> Void {
statusObserver = objectToObserve?.observe(\UIView.tag, options: [.new, .old], changeHandler: {[weak self] (player, change) in
if let tag = change.newValue {
// observed changed value and do the task here on change.
}
})
}
func unregisterObserver() -> Void {
if let sObserver = statusObserver {
sObserver.invalidate()
statusObserver = nil
}
}
}
