tvOS get focused SegmentedControl

Question

I have ViewController where I want retrieve control through the focus engine. Firstly I tried to just fire up by asking view it self.

if settingsFilterSegment.isFocused {}

But I am getting false, so I tried to get actually what is focused on my segment.

Optional(<UISegment: 0x7fe278107a10; frame = (0 0; 189 70); opaque = NO; focused = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x6100002218e0>>)

So I managed to find out that actually item of UISegmentedControl is focused! How I retrieve this item, since UISegment element is not available as subclass.

Answer 1

Got work around, I set tag for UISegmentedControl.

if let currentFocus = UIScreen.main.focusedView {
        if let superView = currentFocus.superview {
            if superView.tag == 11 {
            }
        }
    }

And here is how I see if I am on right segmentcontrol.
