In want to have a button floating next to my Tab Bar. When pressed, this button will open a View that can be Navigated (so a View Controller embedded in a Navigation Controller(?)).
In UITabBarController {
ViewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//I have my 5 tab bar items set up programatically here.
//The middle tab bar item is disabled because the button is on top of it
setupMiddleButton()
}
My setupMiddleButton function
let menuButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 52, height: 52))
//..various styling and alignment values...
view.addSubview(menuButton)
menuButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(menuButtonAction(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
finally I've tried to add the code to push the view controller, however I receive nil when tapping the button.
@objc private func menuButtonAction(sender: UIButton) {
let createController = CreateViewController()
let nav3 = UINavigationController(rootViewController: createController)
nav3.navigationController!.pushViewController(createController, animated: true)
So I figured it out. Turns out it was much simpler than I thought, which makes me think I was explaining myself poorly in the question. Anyway, here's the code that worked for me.
let myViewController = ViewController()
let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: myViewController)
self.present(nav, animated:true, completion: nil)
