Perform push segue after an unwind segue

Question

I am working on a camera app where the camera views are shown modally. After I am done with cropping. I perform an unwind segue to the MainPageViewController. (

Answer 1

I'm guessing the performSegue is not firing because the unwind segue has not yet finished. The only thing I can think of at the moment, is to delay calling the performSegue using dispatch_after. This seems very "hacky" to me though.

@IBAction func unwindToMainMenu(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
    dispatch_after(1, dispatch_get_main_queue()) { () -> Void in
        self.performSegueWithIdentifier("Categories", sender: self)
    }
}

Answer 2

A bit late to the party but I found a way to do this without using state flags

Note: this only works with iOS 9+, as only custom segues support class names prior to iOS9 and you cannot declare an exit segue as a custom segue in storyboards

1. Subclass UIStoryboardSegue with UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion

class UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion: UIStoryboardSegue {
    var completion: (() -> Void)?

    override func perform() {
        super.perform()
        if let completion = completion {
            completion()
        }
    }
}

2. Set UIStoryBoardSegueWithCompletion as the class for your exit segue

note: the action for this segue should be unwindToMainMenu to match the original question

3. Update your unwind @IBAction to execute the code in the completion handler

@IBAction func unwindToMainMenu(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
    if let segue = segue as? UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion {
        segue.completion = { 
            self.performSegueWithIdentifier("Categories", sender: self) 
        }
    }
}

Your code will now execute after the exit segue completes its transition

Answer 3

Taking forward this answer (I only had Objective-C code)

Subclass UIStoryBoardSegue

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface MyStoryboardSegue : UIStoryboardSegue

/**
 This block is called after completion of animations scheduled by @p self.
 */
@property (nonatomic, copy) void(^completion)();

@end

And call this completion block after completion of animations.

@implementation MyStoryboardSegue

- (void)perform {
  [super perform];
  if (self.completion != nil) {
    [self.destinationViewController.transitionCoordinator
     animateAlongsideTransition:nil
     completion:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {
       if (![context isCancelled]) {
         self.completion();
       }
     }];
  }
}

@end

Answer 4

Taking forward the previous two answers, there is a bit more detail about the objective c version here (I too only had Objective-C code)

1. Subclass UIStoryboardSegue with UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion

   class UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion: UIStoryboardSegue { var completion: (() -> Void)?

   override func perform() {
       super.perform()
       if let completion = completion {
           completion()
       }
   }
   

   }

UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface MyStoryboardSegue : UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion

@property (nonatomic, copy) void(^completion)();

@end

UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion.m

#import "UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion.h"

@implementation UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion

- (void)perform {
  [super perform];
  if (self.completion != nil) {
    [self.destinationViewController.transitionCoordinator
     animateAlongsideTransition:nil
     completion:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {
       if (![context isCancelled]) {
         self.completion();
       }
     }];
  }
}
@end

2. Set UIStoryBoardSegueWithCompletion as the class for your exit segue

note: the action for this segue should be unwindToMainMenu to match the original question [image showing segue ui][1] [image showing segue ui 2][2]

Select exit segue from storyboard Add custom class

-(IBAction)unwindToMainMenu(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue {
    if([segue isKindOfClass:[UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion class]]){
        UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion *segtemp = segue;// local prevents warning
        segtemp.completion = ^{
            NSLog(@"segue completion");
            [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"Categories" sender:self];
        };
    }
}

Your code will now execute after the exit segue completes its transition

Answer 5

The exit segue IBAction method happens before the actual unwind segue is finished. I had the same issue and resolved it this way (if you don't mind my paraphrasing of your code). It avoids the extra time and animations from relying on ViewDidAppear.

@IBAction func unwindToMainMenu(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
   let categoriesTable = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("CategoryTableViewController")
   self.navigationController?.viewControllers.append(categoriesTable)
   self.navigationController?.showViewController(categoriesTable, sender: self)
}

Hope this is helpful for anyone else who runs into this and just wants an instantaneous transition!

Answer 6

Updated @moride's answer for Swift 5. The transition coordinator is now optional, so we run completion immediately if this is the case.

class UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion: UIStoryboardSegue {
    var completion: (() -> Void)?

    override func perform() {
        super.perform()

        guard let completion = completion else { return }
        guard let coordinator = destination.transitionCoordinator else {
            completion()
            return
        }

        coordinator.animate(alongsideTransition: nil) { context in
            guard !context.isCancelled else { return }
            completion()
        }
    }
}
