How to write init methods of a UIViewController in Swift

Question

I am unable to add init method to the following UIViewController class. I need to write some code in the init method. Do i have to write init(coder) method? Even when I add

Answer 1

Correct flow is, call the designated initializer which in this case is the init with nibName,

init(tap: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
    // Initialise the variables
    tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("handleTap:")))

    // Call the designated init of ViewController
    super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)

    // Call your viewcontroller custom methods here
    setupViewControllers()
}

Answer 2

I used:

convenience init() {
    self.init(nibName:nil, bundle:nil)
}

Some people suggested:

convenience init(){
    self.init()
}

But this gives you an infinite loop.
