How to check if a view controller is presented modally or pushed on a navigation stack?
Take with a grain of salt, didn't test.
- (BOOL)isModal {
if([self presentingViewController])
return YES;
if([[[self navigationController] presentingViewController] presentedViewController] == [self navigationController])
return YES;
if([[[self tabBarController] presentingViewController] isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]])
return YES;
return NO;
}
In Swift:
Add a flag to test if it's a modal by the class type:
// MARK: - UIViewController implementation
extension UIViewController {
var isModal: Bool {
let presentingIsModal = presentingViewController != nil
let presentingIsNavigation = navigationController?.presentingViewController?.presentedViewController == navigationController
let presentingIsTabBar = tabBarController?.presentingViewController is UITabBarController
return presentingIsModal || presentingIsNavigation || presentingIsTabBar
}
}
You overlooked one method: isBeingPresented
.
isBeingPresented
is true when the view controller is being presented and false when being pushed.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
if ([self isBeingPresented]) {
// being presented
} else if ([self isMovingToParentViewController]) {
// being pushed
} else {
// simply showing again because another VC was dismissed
}
}
