Answer 1

UIViewController* actualVC = [anyViewController.navigationController.viewControllers lastObject];

Answer 2

This helped me to find the visible view controller. I searched for existing methods and didn't find any. So I wrote my own custom one.

-(id)getCurrentViewController
{
    id WindowRootVC = [[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window] rootViewController];

    id currentViewController = [self findTopViewController:WindowRootVC];

    return currentViewController;
}

-(id)findTopViewController:(id)inController
{
    /* if ur using any Customs classes, do like this.
     * Here SlideNavigationController is a subclass of UINavigationController.
     * And ensure you check the custom classes before native controllers , if u have any in your hierarchy.
    if ([inController isKindOfClass:[SlideNavigationController class]])
    {
        return [self findTopViewController:[inController visibleViewController]];
    }
    else */
    if ([inController isKindOfClass:[UITabBarController class]])
    {
        return [self findTopViewController:[inController selectedViewController]];
    }
    else if ([inController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]])
    {
        return [self findTopViewController:[inController visibleViewController]];
    }
    else if ([inController isKindOfClass:[UIViewController class]])
    {
        return inController;
    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"Unhandled ViewController class : %@",inController);
        return nil;
    }
}

And sample use :

-(void)someMethod
{
    id currentVC = [self getCurrentViewController];
        if (currentVC)
        {
            NSLog(@"currentVC :%@",currentVC);
        }
}

|*| Get Visible View Controller from Navigation View Controller

let NavVccVar = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController as! UINavigationController
let ShnSrnVar = NavVccVar.visibleViewController

---

|*| Presenting from the Visible View Controller

let NavVccVar = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController as! UINavigationController
NavVccVar.visibleViewController!.presentViewController(NamVccVar, animated: true, completion: nil)

Answer 4

I get the root controller and then iterate through presented VC's:

 UIViewController *current = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;

while (current.presentedViewController) {
    current = current.presentedViewController;
}
//now you can use current, for example to present an alert view controller:
[current presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];

Answer 5

i am using this code-

//in AppDelegate:

@interface AppDelegate()

{

    id lastViewController;

}


@implementation AppDelegate

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

{

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(handleCurrentViewController) name:@"CurrentViewController" object:nil];


}

-(void)handleCurrentViewController:(NSNotification *)notification
 {

    if([[notification userInfo] objectForKey:@"lastViewController"])
   {

        lastViewController = [[notification userInfo] objectForKey:@"lastViewController"];

    }
}

-(void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{  

    NSLog(@"last view controller is %@", [(UIViewController *)lastViewController class]);

}

@end

//in every ViewController you want to detect

@implementation SomeViewController

-(void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated 
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"CurrentViewController" object:nil userInfo:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:self, @"lastViewController", nil]];

}
