UIPageViewController: get the currentPage

Question

I have been struggling with this issue for the last few days and after all this juggling I have figured out that all I need is the current Index from the datasource method to up

Answer 1

I have solved this problem like this:

* Parent View Controller (PageViewController) *

@interface MyParentPageViewController () 


@property (nonatomic, assign) NSUInteger currentPageIndex;

@end

@implementation MyParentPageViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
  [super viewDidLoad];

  MyChildViewController *rootChildViewController = [MyChildViewController controllerWithPageIndex:self.currentPageIndex];
  [self setViewControllers:@[rootChildViewController]
             direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward
              animated:YES completion:nil];
  self.dataSource = self;
}

#pragma mark - Page View Controller DataSource
- (UIViewController *)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController 
viewControllerAfterViewController:(MyChildViewController *)viewController
{
  if (viewController.pageIndex == self.sourceArray.count - 1) {
    return nil;
  }
  MyChildViewController *vc = [MyChildViewController controllerWithPageIndex:viewController.pageIndex + 1];
  return vc;
}

- (UIViewController *)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController
viewControllerBeforeViewController:(CHHomeDetailTableController *)viewController 
{
  if (viewController.pageIndex == 0) {
    return nil;
  }
  MyChilViewController *vc = [MyChildViewController controllerWithPageIndex:viewController.pageIndex - 1];
  return vc;
}


@end

* Child View Controller *

@implementation MyChildViewController
- (void)viewWillAppear
{
    MyParentPageViewController *parentPageViewController = (MyParentPageViewController *)self.parentViewController;
    parentViewController.currentPageIndex = self.pageIndex;
}
@end

For example, the parentPageViewController's currentPageIndex is 10 , or some other values, when your swipe right, parentViewController.currentPageIndex will be 9, if 0 , nothing happened; If you swipe left, parentPageViewController.currentPageIndex will be 11, if the showing controller.view is the last, nothing happened too.
