I had asked this question long times ago on StackOveflow. You may read it there since it is more readble and includes images
I have a
UITabBarViewController
with two tabs. I want to present a viewController fullscreen in one of the tabs. I have used the following code to do so. let navCtrl = UINavigationController(rootViewController: eventViewController)
navCtrl.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
self.navigationController?.present(navCtrl, animated: true)
It works. And
EventViewController
is fullscreen. However, when presenting another viewController in EventViewController
, EventViewController
is still fullscreen. But I want it to shrink in size and stack-up as it normally do. In order to do so, I have changed modalPresentationStyle
to overCurrentContext
let navCtrl = UINavigationController(rootViewController: eventViewController)
navCtrl.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
self.navigationController?.present(navCtrl, animated: true)
It does so, but it causes another problem: If I change tabs and dismiss
EventViewController
, the presenting viewController is black
as described in this question (none of the answers helped).Basically I want the
EventController
to be fullscreen but shrink in size when presenting another controller in it. How to do so?A simple project with the same issue.
class TabBarController: UITabBarController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let ctrl = TabZeroViewController()
ctrl.tabBarItem.image = UIImage(named: "archived-task")
ctrl.tabBarItem.title = "One"
let test = TabOneViewController()
test.tabBarItem.image = UIImage(named: "Test")
test.tabBarItem.title = "Test"
let tabBarList = [ctrl, test ]
self.viewControllers = tabBarList.map {
let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: $0)
nav.interactivePopGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = true
return nav
}
}
}

Add this code in
willConnectTo
of SceneDelegate
if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
window.rootViewController = TabBarController()
self.window = window
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
While you are on first tab, select a table cell to open the
ModalTableViewController
. And then change tabs and dismiss ModalTableViewController
