Pass your string (Which you want to set on next View Controller) from your first view controller to next view controller and put this self.title = Your passed string in next view controller's viewDidLoad()

How to handle up button in toolbar - Kotlin

I have manually/programmatically set up an up button in my toolbar for a fragment page with the following code in onCreateOptionsMenu in the fragment:
(activity as AppCompatActivity).setSupportActionBar?.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true)
Tapping the system back button will take the user back to the previous fragment but without an up button (that works) I think some users may get lost.
I am having difficulty trying to work out how to catch and handle the up button to pop the fragment off the back stack.
This SO post shows how to catch the the up button click however it is in Java and doesn't go on to explain how you would navigate up.
I think it needs to look something like the code below but there are errors everywhere:
The case android.R.id.home is showing an 'Incompatible types:Int and MenuItem' error?
onBackPressed() is showing an 'Unresolved reference' error.
Bad code:
override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem?): Boolean {
when (item) {
android.R.id.home -> {
onBackPressed()
return true
}
else -> return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
}
}
UPDATE:
A comment to another SO post has a potential solution in Kotlin. It catches the click on the up button and goes back to the previous fragment page but then the up button doesn't go away. So the up button now persists even on the top level fragment destinations in my app (the pages corresponding to each tab in the BottomNavigationView).
I think this might have to do with the fact that there is only one activity in my app and the way that I have set up the up button in the fragment as mentioned above? If so, is there a workaround or other way to set up the up button by referencing the fragment instead of the whole activity?
If it helps, this is the code in the RecyclerView inner ViewHolder class in the adapter.kt file that navigates to the fragment page in question:
class AdapterListItemDetails(val items: List<ItemsList>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<AdapterListItemDeatils.ItemsViewHolder>() {
//overrides for OnCreateViewHolder, getItemCount, onBindViewHolder
inner class ItemsViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
var currentItem: ItemsList? = null
var currentPosition: Int = 0
init {
itemView.setOnClickListener(Navigation.createNavigateOnClickListener(R.id.goto_details, null))
}
fun setData(itemsList: ItemsList, position: Int) {
itemView.tview_Keys.text = itemsList!!.nameText
this.currentItem = itemsList
this.currentPosition = position
}
}
}
You have to override onBackPressed() method in activity and handle the fragment transactions with your manual code. If you could share some snippet of activity and fragment transactions will help me to give some proper solution.
Hi this is what i usually do:
in an activity find the navController from your navHostFragment
val navController = this.findNavController(R.id.myNavHostFragment)
Make sure it's connected to the ActionBar
NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController)
Then simply override onSupportNavigateUp, find your navController then navigate up
override fun onSupportNavigateUp(): Boolean{
val navController = this.findNavController(R.id.myNavHostFragment)
return navController.navigateUp()
}

fix java.lang.NullPointerException in the code

I am getting NullPointerException in the code for contextmenu.
here is the onCreateContextmenu Method
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
menu.add(0, MENU_EDIT, 0, "Edit");
menu.add(0, MENU_DELETE, 0, "Delete");
}
I am getting the error in the line long buttonId = info.id; in the code below
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
long buttonId = info.id;
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case MENU_EDIT:
function1(buttonId);
break;
case MENU_DELETE:
function2(buttonId);
break;
}
return true;
}
Can some one help me fix this
view isn't passed to onContextItemSelected and
AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
long buttonId = info.id;
This code doesn't help because menuInfo is null when view is a button. The Android doc says "menuInfo Extra information about the item for which the context menu should be shown. This information will vary depending on the class ofv". When v is a ListView menuInfoapproach is fine. When it is a Button, it doesn't work.
In onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo), the View v is the button that produced the context menu. Copyv to a global View varaiable and use that where you need to have the view of the button that produced the context menu.

Where does this backBarButtonItem come from again?

I have a UINavigationController (A) which has a few subviews which also are UIViewControllers (B and C). The main UINavigationController (A) rides inside of a UITabViewController (D).
I'm trying to push a view controller within B:
[self.navigationController pushViewController... etc]
Now, the backBarButtonItem comes through with the wrong text. Instead of saying 'Back', it just says 'Item'. This is likely because one of the view controllers in my chain has its title set to 'Item' or maybe it is nil altogether.
My question is, where is the backBarButtonItem generated from?
I tried a few different things that didn't work. I tried each of these lines of code within B right before I pushed the view controller. None of them worked.
self.presentingViewController.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back"... etc
self.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back"... etc
self.navigationController.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back"... etc
I'd like to learn the principle here so that I truly understand where this item is being populated from and what the right way to do it is.
Let's say your C controller is on top of the navigation controller's stack, and your B controller is under that. E.g.
navigationController.viewControllers = #[ bViewController, cViewController ];
So the navigation controller is displaying cViewController.view.
The navigation controller uses the second-to-top controller on its stack to configure the back button. In this case, it uses bViewController to configure the back button. This is its algorithm:
UINavigationItem *navigationItem = bViewController.navigationItem;
UIBarButtonItem *barItem = navigationItem.backBarButtonItem;
if (barItem.image != nil) {
show a back button containing barItem.image;
}
else if (barItem.title != nil) {
if (barItem.title.length > 0) {
show a back button containing barItem.title;
} else {
don't show a back button;
}
}
else if (navigationItem.title != nil) {
if (navigationItem.title.length > 0) {
show a back button containing navigationItem.title;
} else {
don't show a back button;
}
}
else {
show a back button containing #"Back";
}

How to pass an NSString from modal view to parent view

I have a parent view and a modal view with a text box. What I am trying to do is pass whatever is entered into the text box from the modal view and then pass it to a label in the parent view which updates the label to what was entered. I hope that made any sense.
I have been pulling my hair out for a couple of weeks trying to figure this out with no luck. I found many examples and tutorials about segues and passing between views that are being pushed but nothing about modal views and passing back to the parent view.
I have been trying to understand this and need a good example. I kind of understand the prepare for segue concept but for some reason, I just can't figure this one out. Any help on this would be much appreciated and you would be my hero for life lol.
In my project that uses segues, here's how I did it (note that I'm new to iOS, so there's probably "better" ways, and this may be obvious to the iOS veterans):
The short version: define a callback protocol in your modal view controller's .h file. When your modal view controller closes, it checks to see if the presenter implements that protocol and invokes those methods to pass along the data.
So like you said, let's say your modal view controller just gathers a single string value from the user and then they click OK or Cancel. That class might look like this:
#interface MyModalViewController : UIViewController
...
#end
I'm suggesting you add a protocol like this to the same header:
#protocol MyModalViewControllerCallback
-(void) userCancelledMyModalViewController:(MyModalViewController*)vc;
-(void) userAcceptedMyModalViewController:(MyModalViewController*)vc
withInput:(NSString*)s;
#end
Then in MyModalViewController.m, you add a viewDidDisappear with code similar to this:
-(void) viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
UIViewController* presenter = self.presentingViewController;
// If the presenter is a UINavigationController then we assume that we're
// notifying whichever UIViewController is on the top of the stack.
if ([presenter isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
presenter = [(UINavigationController*)presenter topViewController];
}
if ([presenter conformsToProtocol:#protocol(MyModalViewControllerCallback)]) {
// Assumes the presence of an "accepted" ivar that knows whether they
// accepted or cancelled, and a "data" ivar that has the data that the
// user entered.
if (accepted) {
[presenter userAcceptedMyModalViewController:self withInput:data];
}
else {
[presenter userCancelledMyModalViewController:self];
}
}
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
}
And finally in the parent view, you implement the new #protocol, e.g. in the .h:
#interface MyParentViewController : UIViewController <MyModalViewControllerCallback>
...
#end
and in the .m:
#implementation MyParentViewController
...
-(void) userCancelledMyModalViewController:(MyModalViewController*)vc {
// Update the text field with something like "They clicked cancel!"
}
-(void) userAcceptedMyModalViewController:(MyModalViewController*)vc
withInput:(NSString*)s {
// Update the text field with the value in s
}
...
#end

Adding actions to buttons in a subview

in my app i call a UIView and that UIView is like a settings screen in my app and i have buttons in the UIView and my question is how do i add actions to the buttons iv added to the UIViews subview? thanks,
Assuming you're writing code in a view controller for your settings UIView, the UIView is properly bound to the view property of your controller, and you have referenced one of the buttons with a variable button, here is what you would write:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[button addTarget:self
action:#selector(buttonPressed)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
- (void)buttonPressed
{
// do things here in response to the button being pressed
}
Another way to write that method is passing in a pointer to the button which was actually pressed, like so:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[button addTarget:self
action:#selector(buttonPressed:) // note the extra colon here
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
- (void)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
UIButton *buttonWhichWasPressed = (UIButton *)sender;
// now you can do things like hide the button, change its text, etc.
}
Rather than calling addTarget:action:forControlEvents:, though, in Interface Builder (you should be doing this) after defining the buttonPressed or buttonPressed: method above, in the .xib file with the button go to the second tab in the Inspector after clicking on the Button (it should say Button Connections), and click-drag the Touch Up Inside event to File's Owner, and select "buttonPressed" from the list.
