Adding a Navigation Link inside a menu [duplicate] - swiftui

Can you use a NavigationLink as a Menu's item in swiftUI?
It seems to do just nothing:
Menu {
NavigationLink(destination: Text("test1")) {
Text("item1")
}
NavigationLink(destination: Text("test2")) {
Text("item2")
}
} label: {
Text("open menu")
}
In case it is meant to not work as tried above, is there an alternative way of achiving the intended reult?

init(destination:isActive:label:) is deprecated since iOS 16
'init(destination:isActive:label:)' was deprecated in iOS 16.0: use
NavigationLink(value:label:) inside a NavigationStack or
NavigationSplitView
NavigationLink should be inside NavigationView hierarchy. The Menu is outside navigation view, so put buttons inside menu which activate navigation link placed inside navigation view, eg. hidden in background.
Here is a demo of possible approach (tested with Xcode 12.1 / iOS 14.1)
struct DemoNavigateFromMenu: View {
#State private var navigateTo = ""
#State private var isActive = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Menu {
Button("item1") {
self.navigateTo = "test1"
self.isActive = true
}
Button("item2") {
self.navigateTo = "test2"
self.isActive = true
}
} label: {
Text("open menu")
}
.background(
NavigationLink(destination: Text(self.navigateTo), isActive: $isActive) {
EmptyView()
})
}
}
}

I can say that Asperi's answer is great solution. It helped a lot. But we need a custom view to hold a reference inside the destination property right? not a string.
#State var navigateTo: AnyView?
#State var isNavigationActive = false
We can hold a reference AnyView type and then call the view like this:
Menu {
Button {
navigateTo = AnyView(CreateItemView())
isNavigationActive = true
} label: {
Label("Create an Item", systemImage: "doc")
}
Button {
navigateTo = AnyView(CreateItemView())
isNavigationActive = true
} label: {
Label("Create a category", systemImage: "folder")
}
} label: {
Label("Add", systemImage: "plus")
}

SwiftUI .searchable implementation in the wrong way?

I am trying to use a tab bar in order to use different views. On some of those views I have a list of items and I wish that list to be .searchable. If I go to each of the views and search it works like a charm, but when I embed that in the tabbed view the list becomes non-responsive to click but it responds to scroll gesture.
I will expand the idea with code that I have and screenshots, but I am pretty sure that the problem resides in how I'm implementing the combination of the tab bar view and the views that have the searchable modifier:
This code works well
import SwiftUI
struct ClientListView: View {
#ObservedObject var viewModel = ClientFeedViewModel()
#State var searchText: String
#State private var showingSheet = false
#State private var showList = false
var clients: [Client] {
if searchText.count > 2 {
return searchText.isEmpty ? viewModel.clients : viewModel.search(withText: searchText)
}
return viewModel.clients
}
init(){
searchText = ""
}
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(clients) { client in
NavigationLink(destination: {
}, label: {
VStack {
Text(client.clientName)
}
})
.listRowSeparator(.hidden)
}
.searchable(text: $searchText)
.listStyle(.plain)
}
}
}
struct ClientListView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ClientListView()
}
}
The problem starts when I do this and implement the ClientListView in a tab bar view like this:
Tab bar with different views not working searchable modifier
This is the code of the Tab Bar View:
import SwiftUI
struct MainTabView: View {
#EnvironmentObject var viewModel: AuthViewModel
#Binding var selectedIndex: Int
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
TabView(selection: $selectedIndex) {
ClientListView()
.onTapGesture {
selectedIndex = 0
}
.tabItem {
Label("Clients", systemImage: "list.bullet")
}.tag(0)
ProjectListView()
.onTapGesture {
selectedIndex = 1
}
.tabItem {
Image(systemName: "person")
Label("Projects", systemImage: "list.dash")
}.tag(1)
TaskListView()
.tabItem {
Image(systemName: "person")
Label("Tasks", systemImage: "list.dash")
}.tag(2)
.onTapGesture {
selectedIndex = 2
}
ClientListView()
.tabItem {
Label("Settings", systemImage: "gear")
}.tag(3)
.onTapGesture {
selectedIndex = 3
}
}
.navigationTitle(tabTitle)
}
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarLeading) {
Image("logo_silueta")
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
.frame(width: 30, height: 30)
}
ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) {
Button(action: {
viewModel.signOut()
}, label: {
Text("logout")
})
}
}
.navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
}
}
var tabTitle: String {
switch selectedIndex {
case 0: return "Clients"
case 1: return "Projects"
case 2: return "Tasks"
case 3: return "Settings"
default: return ""
}
}
}
struct MainTabView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
MainTabView(selectedIndex: .constant(0))
}
}
Navigation on the tabbed view works and displays the different names on the tab bar title, but when I click cancel or x button of the search bar, it doesn't work and also the list becomes unclickable
So far I haven't been able to find where the problem is but I am assuming its because the tab bar view is messing up with the searchable property
The culprit would seem to be your .onTapGesture modifiers, which will take precedence over any tap handling in your child views.
I'm not sure what value those modifiers bring, since using appropriate .tag values is enough for the tab view to keep track of its selected index. I'd start by removing them.
#ObservedObject var viewModel = ClientFeedViewModel() is a memory leak, try changing it to something like:
struct ClientListViewData {
var searchText: String = ""
var showingSheet = false
var showList = false
mutating func showSheet() {
showingSheet = true
}
}
struct ClientListView: View {
#Binding var data: ClientListViewData

NavigationLink isActive deprecated

In the new version of iOS and Xcode
NavigationLink(isActive: , destination: , label: )
is deprecated.
How do we control the status of NavigationLink then?
Old/Deprecated way to navigate:
#State private var readyToNavigate : Bool = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
NavigationLink(destination: MyTargetView(), isActive: $readyToNavigate, label: {Text("Navigate Link")})
Button {
//Code here before changing the bool value
readyToNavigate = true
} label: {
Text("Navigate Button")
}
}
.navigationTitle("Navigation")
}
}
New way to navigate
#State private var readyToNavigate : Bool = false
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
VStack {
Button {
//Code here before changing the bool value
readyToNavigate = true
} label: {
Text("Navigate Button")
}
}
.navigationTitle("Navigation")
.navigationDestination(isPresented: $readyToNavigate) {
MyTargetView()
}
}
}
Use new NavigationLink(value:label:) as specified. By putting corresponding value into NavigationPath you activate a link.
See more for example in this topic
Check out Apple's migration docs:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/migrating-to-new-navigation-types
The isActive implementation of NavigationLink is deprecated in iOS 16. Instead, you should use the new NavigationLink(value:) along with .navigationDestination with NavigationStack.

How can I use multiple fullScreenCover in IOS14

I want to present the two destinations view in full screen mode from a single view.
Below is a sample of my code. Seem that the function only works for single presentation, if I have a second fullScreenCover defined, the first fullScreenCover didn't work properly.Is that any workaround at this moment?
import SwiftUI
struct TesFullScreen: View {
init(game : Int){
print(game)
}
var body: some View {
Text("Full Screen")
}
}
ContentView
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State var showFullScreen1 : Bool = false
#State var showFullScreen2 : Bool = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
Spacer()
Button(action: { self.showFullScreen1 = true }) {
Text("Show Full Screen 1")
}
Button(action: { self.showFullScreen2 = true }) {
Text("Show Full Screen 2")
}
Spacer()
}
.navigationBarTitle("TextBugs", displayMode: .inline)
}
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: self.$showFullScreen1){
TesFullScreen(game: 1)
}
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: self.$showFullScreen2){
TesFullScreen(game: 2)
}
}
}
Not always the accepted answer works (for example if you have a ScrollView with subviews (cells in former days) which holds the buttons, that set the navigational flags).
But I found out, that you also can add the fullScreen-modifier onto an EmptyView. This code worked for me:
// IMPORTANT: Has to be within a container (e.g. VStack, HStack, ZStack, ...)
if myNavigation.flag1 || myNavigation.flag2 {
EmptyView().fullScreenCover(isPresented: $myNavigation.flag1)
{ MailComposer() }
EmptyView().fullScreenCover(isPresented: $myNavigation.flag2)
{ RatingStore() }
}
Usually some same modifier added one after another is ignored. So the simplest fix is to attach them to different views, like
struct FullSContentView: View {
#State var showFullScreen1 : Bool = false
#State var showFullScreen2 : Bool = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
Spacer()
Button(action: { self.showFullScreen1 = true }) {
Text("Show Full Screen 1")
}
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: self.$showFullScreen1){
Text("TesFullScreen(game: 1)")
}
Button(action: { self.showFullScreen2 = true }) {
Text("Show Full Screen 2")
}
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: self.$showFullScreen2){
Text("TesFullScreen(game: 2)")
}
Spacer()
}
.navigationBarTitle("TextBugs", displayMode: .inline)
}
}
}
Alternate is to have one .fullScreenCover(item:... modifier and show inside different views depending on input item.
The only thing that worked for me was the answer in this link:
https://forums.swift.org/t/multiple-sheet-view-modifiers-on-the-same-view/35267
Using the EmptyView method or other solutions always broke a transition animation on one of the two presentations. Either transitioning to or from that view and depending on what order I chose them.
Using the approach by Lantua in the link which is using the item argument instead of isPresented worked in all cases:
enum SheetChoice: Hashable, Identifiable {
case a, b
var id: SheetChoice { self }
}
struct ContentView: View {
#State var sheetState: SheetChoice?
var body: some View {
VStack {
...
}
.sheet(item: $sheetState) { item in
if item == .a {
Text("A")
} else {
Text("B")
}
}
}
}
The sheetState needs to be optional for it to work.

Is it possible for a NavigationLink to perform an action in addition to navigating to another view?

I'm trying to create a button that not only navigates to another view, but also run a function at the same time. I tried embedding both a NavigationLink and a Button into a Stack, but I'm only able to click on the Button.
ZStack {
NavigationLink(destination: TradeView(trade: trade)) {
TradeButton()
}
Button(action: {
print("Hello world!") //this is the only thing that runs
}) {
TradeButton()
}
}
You can use .simultaneousGesture to do that. The NavigationLink will navigate and at the same time perform an action exactly like you want:
NavigationLink(destination: TradeView(trade: trade)) {
Text("Trade View Link")
}.simultaneousGesture(TapGesture().onEnded{
print("Hello world!")
})
You can use NavigationLink(destination:isActive:label:). Use the setter on the binding to know when the link is tapped. I've noticed that the NavigationLink could be tapped outside of the content area, and this approach captures those taps as well.
struct Sidebar: View {
#State var isTapped = false
var body: some View {
NavigationLink(destination: ViewToPresent(),
isActive: Binding<Bool>(get: { isTapped },
set: { isTapped = $0; print("Tapped") }),
label: { Text("Link") })
}
}
struct ViewToPresent: View {
var body: some View {
print("View Presented")
return Text("View Presented")
}
}
The only thing I notice is that setter fires three times, one of which is after it's presented. Here's the output:
Tapped
Tapped
View Presented
Tapped
NavigationLink + isActive + onChange(of:)
// part 1
#State private var isPushed = false
// part 2
NavigationLink(destination: EmptyView(), isActive: $isPushed, label: {
Text("")
})
// part 3
.onChange(of: isPushed) { (newValue) in
if newValue {
// do what you want
}
}
This works for me atm:
#State private var isActive = false
NavigationLink(destination: MyView(), isActive: $isActive) {
Button {
// run your code
// then set
isActive = true
} label: {
Text("My Link")
}
}
Use NavigationLink(_:destination:tag:selection:) initializer and pass your model's property as a selection parameter. Because it is a two-way binding, you can define didset observer for this property, and call your function there.
struct ContentView: View {
#EnvironmentObject var navigationModel: NavigationModel
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(0 ..< 10, id: \.self) { row in
NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(id: row),
tag: row,
selection: self.$navigationModel.linkSelection) {
Text("Link \(row)")
}
}
}
}
}
struct DetailView: View {
var id: Int;
var body: some View {
Text("DetailView\(id)")
}
}
class NavigationModel: ObservableObject {
#Published var linkSelection: Int? = nil {
didSet {
if let linkSelection = linkSelection {
// action
print("selected: \(String(describing: linkSelection))")
}
}
}
}
It this example you need to pass in your model to ContentView as an environment object:
ContentView().environmentObject(NavigationModel())
in the SceneDelegate and SwiftUI Previews.
The model conforms to ObservableObject protocol and the property must have a #Published attribute.
(it works within a List)
I also just used:
NavigationLink(destination: View()....) {
Text("Demo")
}.task { do your stuff here }
