As you can see below in my code I've tried a few things to dismiss the UIViewTableController back into my parent ViewController once a row is selected to no luck
didselectRowAt code in my UITableViewController:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
//self.storyboard?.instantiateInitialViewController()
//self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
print("before dismissing")
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
print("dismissing")
self.delegate?.showWeatherInfo()
})
print("after dismissing")
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
geoCoder.geocodeAddressString(self.searchResults[indexPath.row], completionHandler: {(placemarks: [CLPlacemark]?, error: Error?) -> Void in
if let placemark = placemarks?[0] {
print(placemark)
}
})
/*
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
self.delegate?.showWeatherInfo()
})
*/
}
protocol for that same class:
protocol ShowWeather{
func showWeatherInfo()
}
where I call it in my ViewController:
@IBAction func searchButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
searchButtonUIChanges()
textFieldBg_view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
//create searchresult object and add it as a subview
searchResultController = SearchResultsController()
searchResultController.delegate = self
addChild(searchResultController)
searchResultController.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
searchResultController.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 64+textFieldBg_view.frame.size.height - 25, width: self.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height - 50)
view.addSubview(searchResultController.view)
searchResultController.didMove(toParent: self)
let screenHeight = -(UIScreen.main.bounds.height/2 + textFieldBg_view.frame.height/2)
textFieldBg_view.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: screenHeight)
UIView.animate(withDuration: animateDuration, delay: delay, usingSpringWithDamping: springWithDamping, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: .allowUserInteraction, animations: {
self.textFieldBg_view.transform = .identity
}, completion: nil)
searchTextField.becomeFirstResponder()
}
Obviously before and after dismissing prints work but the dismissing one inside of the completion doesn't. The reason I currently don't have any info being passed back to the UIViewController yet is because, well, I haven't even gotten there yet.
And yes, in my ViewController class header I have the TableViewController class protocol, but that's irrelevant since the UITableViewController isn't even properly dismissing anyway yet.
