UIPageViewController - start not at the beginning, but in the middle (page 2)

Question

I have set up a PageViewController with three pages. However, I want it to start at page 2 (in the middle). But I don't know how to do this.

I know you set the start viewController like this:

pageViewController.setViewControllers([viewControllerAtIndex(startIndex)!], direction: .forward, animated: true, completion: nil)

But you can only say direction forward or reverse. But in this case, it's both.

What can I do? Thank you!

Answer 1

Your implementation for the startViewController is correct

pageViewController.setViewControllers([viewControllerAtIndex(startIndex)!], direction: .forward, animated: false, completion: nil)

In your UIPageViewControllerDataSource implementation, also implement this method:

func presentationIndex(for pageViewController: UIPageViewController) -> Int {
    return startIndex
}

You might also need

func presentationCount(for pageViewController: UIPageViewController) -> Int {
    return pageData.count
}
