If using a nav controller as root view you need to set the segue to over current context and cross dissolve rather than the view controller itself for this to work! Nice tutorial.
greeeeaat :D .. pls make more of how to use different viewcontrollers maybe with tableviews etc and both embeded in navigation controller :) you have a clean way of teaching..
Tutorials are awesome. I tried round corner code for textfield but it didn't work. Please make a video on how to round corner textfield. Thanks in advance
Hi @Mark Moeykens, Thanks again for making easy and wonderful video tutorials. 💚 Could you please explain... what if we use this method of creating a modal pop-up view on a separate view controller BUT instead of using a "Button", using "Up Gesture" to bring the modal pop-up. I am not able to find a way to do this. Can this be achieved using swipe gesture?
Great teaching Mark. I'm still not able to see the background though. I set the root view background to 50% opaque and the popup view controller's Presentation set to "Over Current Context" but my I can't see the underlying original view controller underneath. Any ideas on what I did wrong?
Hmm... also check your storyboard segue. It should be set to "Present Modally" (instead of "Show"). You can also check out a more current video on popups and maybe that could help if the above suggestion does not: th-cam.com/video/NBCped0ZcWE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Mark I was able to solve most of the problem, the only thing pending is to cover the status bar, I couldn't find a way to do it. Since I'm using an UIView, I cannot apply the property to hide it, any suggestion?
Hi Mark, thanks mate.... great work.. however after trying to implement this in my app... (yet to get and app on the store), I setup up this feature, but when I go to view it on another size phone it does not display the same.. for example great on my iPhones 6s plus, but on a iPhone 5s, it not constraining properly. please help.
Thanks Mark great tutorial, I have a question in my first viewController I have a variable (as userDefaults) that change in viewWillAppear, when my popup appears i click the button and I change the value of that variable, but in my first viewcontroller the variable does not change when the presentation of my popup is "over full screen", but when my popup presentation is" full screen" the variable change, how can I solve this. Greetings :D
Hi Diego, excellent question! You want to change a value on your popup that your first view controller can see? Check out this other series I have about creating reusable popups. I teach 3 different ways on how to handle this. th-cam.com/play/PLHDMmeIMXj8VErZQxkeUnBadPaFxEL4kl.html
Hey! Great tutorial again. However, I have a question. I put a UIVisualEffectView on the background of popupVC and when it is executed, the blurness kind of glitchss. I mean by that is It has been seen when the transition is done. Do you have any idea to fix that?
Yeah, Faruk, I have experienced the exact same thing. The problem is that Apple does not recommend having the blur effect with an alpha of less than 1 or they can not guarantee what will happen. When you transition with a cross dissolve it is affecting the alpha so it acts weird. Try a different transition effect besides cross dissolve and see if that helps.
Hi Mark thanks for a tutorial but actually I have a quick question when I use your code my table view cell stope reloading why? Then when I rebuild my project then appeared and works
Hi Daphne, you might want to check out this more comprehensive series on Reusable Popups. I explain how to pass data to and from a popup using the notification center, callbacks and delegates: th-cam.com/play/PLHDMmeIMXj8VErZQxkeUnBadPaFxEL4kl.html If you want to head straight to the delegates video (#5) the link is: th-cam.com/video/ekQ0pqzc9Kg/w-d-xo.html This should answer your question on how to get a value from the popup.
Oh my gosh thank you so much! I ended up finding my answer here: stackoverflow.com/questions/48682069/pass-data-from-modal-view-to-parent-view-using-delegates-with-a-segue-in-storyb
I found this tutorial extremely helpful in creating custom popups/alerts. I do have a question though. When using dismissViewController, is there a way to manipulate an object in the fist view? I've tried using prepareForSegue to make some buttons in the first view disappear using [myButton setHidden:true]; but this results in a crash and I haven't had much luck with dismissViewController's completion hander. Appreciate any help!
Hi Jordan, you could use a Notification instead. So the first view you listen or observe for a notification. Then in the popup you post a notification and the first view will hear it and run any function you want. Here's a video I did on how this works: th-cam.com/video/3UUfEaVAOoc/w-d-xo.html
You mean like with a segue? Yeah, you can totally do that. I explore popups a lot more in a playlist called "Reusable Popups" that you might want to check out: th-cam.com/play/PLHDMmeIMXj8VErZQxkeUnBadPaFxEL4kl.html
If using a nav controller as root view you need to set the segue (click the segue in storyboard and set there) to over current context and cross dissolve rather than the view controller itself for this to work!
bibin alex, thank you! Check my series on reusable pop-ups. In there I use s pop-up in separate view controller with other view controllers in a tab bar controller.
Thanks Mark nice tutorial ,but my view alpha only work when controller pop up. After controller pop up completed the view become black and cover the original controller What happen?
Check a couple things. Make sure you made the root view's background color clear or slightly transparent (opacity) (9:03). Then make sure you have the popup view controller's Presentation set to "Over Current Context" (7:54).
Mark Moeykens in your video you have like one section with the background image and one with the flight details. The orange button is positioned above (centered between) these two sections.
Oh I understand now. Well that's just an image that I got permission to use from a designer on Dribbble. But if you were to do that on a Storyboard then you could drop a UIButton on there and set the image to that orange icon with the airplane. Then you can use constraints to position the UIButton anywhere on the screen. Just move the UIButton around the screen until you find a good place for it and set the constraints.
Hi Mark! So I have a game on my view controller and a pop up display just like in this tutorial. However when my dismiss button in the popup goes back to the view controller the variable it was supposed to change didn't update. Any thoughts?
Mark Moeykens Yes, the variable is located in the view controller. The IB action for the dismiss button is also there. When clicking the button the popup dismisses and the variable I want to change doesn't get updated. Both view controllers (in storyboards) are linked to the same class.
Ohhh, both views using the same viewcontroller. I've never done that before. But I suspect what is happening is when you navigate to your popup, ANOTHER instance of your viewcontroller is being created. So you have two different instances of viewcontrollers for each view. What I was going to suggest is you could look into using NotificationCenter. When you click the dismiss button on your popup, it will post a notification. Your first viewcontroller will be listening (observing) the notification and do the update. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/UkiFq0veTmg/w-d-xo.html
I tried this but when i pass the value to presenting view controller app is crashing. I have a text field i am passing a value from modal to the text field. The text field becomes nil
I gotcha. I didn't cover passing values in this video BUT I have gone over it thoroughly in another series. I'll show you 3 different ways to accomplish what you are trying to do: th-cam.com/play/PLHDMmeIMXj8VErZQxkeUnBadPaFxEL4kl.html
Mark Moeykens Thank you mark. I would be very happy if u answer these queries below 1. Why is that the text field of presenting view controller becomes nil ? The presenting view controller is still visible it did not disappear but still text fields become nil 2. If the presenting view controller had disappeared on showing up modal. Then dismissing modal should trigger up view did appear but it did not happen in my case. I will look for more of your videos Thanks again
Oh yeah, when you select "Present as Popover" that really relates to iPads. It shows your view with a pointer that you can set to point to where you just tapped. Here's an example of using this option: pinkstone.co.uk/how-to-create-popovers-in-ios-9/
Hi again! I have tested it now on a device with no luck. There is absolutly the same performance as in the simulator. Compared with your example, I have added an slide animation to the inner view of the second view controller. The strange thing is that the background of the second vc appears immediately but it seams that the animation has a delay although the delay parameter is set to 0. Do you have an clue why this could be? I am running the animation in ViewDidAppear().
//I want to present the controller overCurrentContext, I have to conform to this UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate protocol in order to create custom transition effect, so to present the view on top I configured modalPresentationStyle but still the parentViewController becomes black. Here is my code. let herbDetails = storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HerbDetailsViewController") as! HerbDetailsViewController self.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext self.present(herbDetails, animated: true, completion: nil)

Hey great tut! How can I replace the white overlay with a blur animation? I tried to add one but it won't cover the whole screen
Thanks, Lucas! The blur control isn't covering the whole screen? Are you using a top, bottom, leading and trailing constraint with a 0 value?

You could add a button (with no text) behind the popup. Then when tapped, dismiss the view controller.

If using a nav controller as root view you need to set the segue (click the segue in storyboard and set there) to over current context and cross dissolve rather than the view controller itself for this to work!
This is awesome!
