SwiftUI - Crash in Refresh after OnDelete - swiftui

With the code below I have one row in the second section of a form. When the onDelete executes, I can see (via breakpoints) that it successfully removes the record from the array. The body gets refreshed as it's a state variable and then it crashes with a Fatal error: Index out of range: file. The crash occurs when it tries to do the ForEach again which at this point should show nothing since the array is empty.
struct BuyerCheckout: View {
#State private var subTotal:Double!
#State private var tax:Double!
#State private var fees = [FeeModel(type: "", amount: 0.00)]
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
Form {
Section(header: Text("Gross Amounts")) {
HStack {
Text("Subtotal: $")
TextField("Purchase Subtotal", value: $subTotal, formatter: NumberFormatter.currency)
.keyboardType(.decimalPad)
}
HStack {
Text("Tax: $")
TextField("Purchase Tax", value: $tax, formatter: NumberFormatter.currency)
.keyboardType(.decimalPad)
}
}
Section(header: Text("Other Fees")) {
ForEach(fees.indices, id: \.self) {
FeeCell(fee: self.$fees[$0])
}
.onDelete(perform: removeRows)
}
}.gesture(DragGesture().onChanged { _ in
UIApplication.shared.windows.forEach { $0.endEditing(false) }
})
.padding()
.navigationBarTitle("Checkout")
.onAppear {
UITableViewCell.appearance().selectionStyle = .none
}
}
}
I am also doing the ForEach with indexes this way as the variable represents a binding for the FeeCell. I cannot pass a binding with the ForEach iterator of the array. Not sure this is relevant, but I thought I'd mention.

SwiftUI List messed up after delete action on iOS 15

It seems that there is a problem in SwiftUI with List and deleting items. The items in the list and data get out of sync.
This is the code sample that reproduces the problem:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State var popupShown = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Show list") { popupShown.toggle() }
if popupShown {
MainListView()
}
}
.animation(.easeInOut, value: popupShown)
}
}
struct MainListView: View {
#State var texts = (0...10).map(String.init)
func delete(at positions: IndexSet) {
positions.forEach { texts.remove(at: $0) }
}
var body: some View {
List {
ForEach(texts, id: \.self) { Text($0) }
.onDelete { delete(at: $0) }
}
.frame(width: 300, height: 300)
}
}
If you perform a delete action on the first row and scroll to the last row, the data and list contents are not in sync anymore.
This is only happening when animation is attached to it. Removing .animation(.easeInOut, value: popupShown) workarounds the issue.
This code sample works as expected on iOS 14 and doesn't work on iOS 15.
Is there a workaround for this problem other then removing animation?
It isn't the animation(). The clue was seeing It appears that having the .animation outside of the conditional causes the problem. Moving it to the view itself corrected it to some extent. However, there is a problem with this ForEach construct: ForEach(texts, id: \.self). As soon as you start deleting elements of your array, the UI gets confused as to what to show where. You should ALWAYS use an Identifiable element in a ForEach. See the example code below:
struct ListDeleteView: View {
#State var popupShown = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Show list") { popupShown.toggle() }
if popupShown {
MainListView()
.animation(.easeInOut, value: popupShown)
}
}
}
}
struct MainListView: View {
#State var texts = (0...10).map({ TextMessage(message: $0.description) })
func delete(at positions: IndexSet) {
texts.remove(atOffsets: positions)
}
var body: some View {
List {
ForEach(texts) { Text($0.message) }
.onDelete { delete(at: $0) }
}
.frame(width: 300, height: 300)
}
}
struct TextMessage: Identifiable {
let id = UUID()
let message: String
}

SwiftUI List rows with INFO button

UIKit used to support TableView Cell that enabled a Blue info/disclosure button. The following was generated in SwiftUI, however getting the underlying functionality to work is proving a challenge for a beginner to SwiftUI.
Generated by the following code:
struct Session: Identifiable {
let date: Date
let dir: String
let instrument: String
let description: String
var id: Date { date }
}
final class SessionsData: ObservableObject {
#Published var sessions: [Session]
init() {
sessions = [Session(date: SessionsData.dateFromString(stringDate: "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"),dir:"Rhubarb", instrument:"LCproT", description: "brief Description"),
Session(date: SessionsData.dateFromString(stringDate: "2017-04-14T10:44:00+0001"),dir:"Custard", instrument:"LCproU", description: "briefer Description"),
Session(date: SessionsData.dateFromString(stringDate: "2018-04-14T10:44:00+0002"),dir:"Jelly", instrument:"LCproV", description: " Description")
]
}
static func dateFromString(stringDate: String) -> Date {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") // set locale to reliable US_POSIX
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"
return dateFormatter.date(from:stringDate)!
}
}
struct SessionList: View {
#EnvironmentObject private var sessionData: SessionsData
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
ForEach(sessionData.sessions) { session in
SessionRow(session: session )
}
}
.navigationTitle("Session data")
}
// without this style modification we get all sorts of UIKit warnings
.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}
}
struct SessionRow: View {
var session: Session
#State private var presentDescription = false
var body: some View {
HStack(alignment: .center){
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(session.dir)
.font(.headline)
.truncationMode(.tail)
.frame(minWidth: 20)
Text(session.instrument)
.font(.caption)
.opacity(0.625)
.truncationMode(.middle)
}
Spacer()
// SessionGraph is a place holder for the Graph data.
NavigationLink(destination: SessionGraph()) {
// if this isn't an EmptyView then we get a disclosure indicator
EmptyView()
}
// Note: without setting the NavigationLink hidden
// width to 0 the List width is split 50/50 between the
// SessionRow and the NavigationLink. Making the NavigationLink
// width 0 means that SessionRow gets all the space. Howeveer
// NavigationLink still works
.hidden().frame(width: 0)
Button(action: { presentDescription = true
print("\(session.dir):\(presentDescription)")
}) {
Image(systemName: "info.circle")
}
.buttonStyle(BorderlessButtonStyle())
NavigationLink(destination: SessionDescription(),
isActive: $presentDescription) {
EmptyView()
}
.hidden().frame(width: 0)
}
.padding(.vertical, 4)
}
}
struct SessionGraph: View {
var body: some View {
Text("SessionGraph")
}
}
struct SessionDescription: View {
var body: some View {
Text("SessionDescription")
}
}
The issue comes in the behaviour of the NavigationLinks for the SessionGraph. Selecting the SessionGraph, which is the main body of the row, propagates to the SessionDescription! hence Views start flying about in an un-controlled manor.
I've seen several stated solutions to this issue, however none have worked using XCode 12.3 & iOS 14.3
Any ideas?
When you put a NavigationLink in the background of List row, the NavigationLink can still be activated on tap. Even with .buttonStyle(BorderlessButtonStyle()) (which looks like a bug to me).
A possible solution is to move all NavigationLinks outside the List and then activate them from inside the List row. For this we need #State variables holding the activation state. Then, we need to pass them to the subviews as #Binding and activate them on button tap.
Here is a possible example:
struct SessionList: View {
#EnvironmentObject private var sessionData: SessionsData
// create state variables for activating NavigationLinks
#State private var presentGraph: Session?
#State private var presentDescription: Session?
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
ForEach(sessionData.sessions) { session in
SessionRow(
session: session,
presentGraph: $presentGraph,
presentDescription: $presentDescription
)
}
}
.navigationTitle("Session data")
// put NavigationLinks outside the List
.background(
VStack {
presentGraphLink
presentDescriptionLink
}
)
}
.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}
#ViewBuilder
var presentGraphLink: some View {
// custom binding to activate a NavigationLink - basically when `presentGraph` is set
let binding = Binding<Bool>(
get: { presentGraph != nil },
set: { if !$0 { presentGraph = nil } }
)
// activate the `NavigationLink` when the `binding` is `true`
NavigationLink("", destination: SessionGraph(), isActive: binding)
}
#ViewBuilder
var presentDescriptionLink: some View {
let binding = Binding<Bool>(
get: { presentDescription != nil },
set: { if !$0 { presentDescription = nil } }
)
NavigationLink("", destination: SessionDescription(), isActive: binding)
}
}
struct SessionRow: View {
var session: Session
// pass variables as `#Binding`...
#Binding var presentGraph: Session?
#Binding var presentDescription: Session?
var body: some View {
HStack {
Button {
presentGraph = session // ...and activate them manually
} label: {
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(session.dir)
.font(.headline)
.truncationMode(.tail)
.frame(minWidth: 20)
Text(session.instrument)
.font(.caption)
.opacity(0.625)
.truncationMode(.middle)
}
}
.buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
Spacer()
Button {
presentDescription = session
print("\(session.dir):\(presentDescription)")
} label: {
Image(systemName: "info.circle")
}
.buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
}
.padding(.vertical, 4)
}
}

How to disable updates in SwiftUI List

I'm working on a SwiftUI + CoreData application which holds (for several entities) a list view with navigation to an edit view where I can make changes.
I decided to directly pass the managed object from the list to the edit view (observed) to avoid even one more code duplication of listing all attributes. My edit view is able to revert the changes made to the managed object when I go back to list without saving.
However I have a weird behavior: whenever I edit the field which is responsible for the sorting in the list view, e.g. title, and this changes the order in the list, the view slides back to list view and immediately forth to edit view. I can see, that the edited item changed position in the list. This happens on the first keypress that changes the title accordingly.
I want to avoid this (because it's distracting and I lose focus on the title field).
Any way to disable updates to the list or at least disable the switching to list and back?

SwiftUI selection in lists not working on reused cells

Consider the following project with two views. The first view presents the second one:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
private let data = 0...1000
#State private var selection: Set<Int> = []
#State private var shouldShowSheet = false
var body: some View {
self.showSheet()
//self.showPush()
}
private func showSheet() -> some View {
Button(action: {
self.shouldShowSheet = true
}, label: {
Text("Selected: \(selection.count) items")
}).sheet(isPresented: self.$shouldShowSheet) {
EditFormView(selection: self.$selection)
}
}
private func showPush() -> some View {
NavigationView {
Button(action: {
self.shouldShowSheet = true
}, label: {
NavigationLink(destination: EditFormView(selection: self.$selection),
isActive: self.$shouldShowSheet,
label: {
Text("Selected: \(selection.count) items")
})
})
}
}
}
struct EditFormView: View {
private let data = 0...1000
#Binding var selection: Set<Int>
#State private var editMode: EditMode = .active
init(selection: Binding<Set<Int>>) {
self._selection = selection
}
var body: some View {
List(selection: self.$selection) {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { value in
Text("\(value)")
}
}.environment(\.editMode, self.$editMode)
}
}
Steps to reproduce:
Create an app with the above two views
Run the app and present the sheet with the editable list
Select some items at random indexes, for example a handful at index 0-10 and another handful at index 90-100
Close the sheet by swiping down/tapping back button
Open the sheet again
Scroll to indexes 90-100 to view the selection in the reused cells
Expected:
The selected indexes as you had will be in “selected state”
Actual:
The selection you had before is not marked as selected in the UI, even though the binding passed to List contains those indexes.
This occurs both on the “sheet” presentation and the “navigation link” presentation.
If you select an item in the list, the “redraw” causes the original items that were originally not shown as selected to now be shown as selected.
Is there a way around this?
It looks like EditMode bug, worth submitting feedback to Apple. The possible solution is to use custom selection feature.
Here is a demo of approach (modified only part). Tested & worked with Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4
struct EditFormView: View {
private let data = 0...1000
#Binding var selection: Set<Int>
init(selection: Binding<Set<Int>>) {
self._selection = selection
}
var body: some View {
List(selection: self.$selection) {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { value in
self.cell(for: value)
}
}
}
// also below can be separated into standalone view
private func cell(for value: Int) -> some View {
let selected = self.selection.contains(value)
return HStack {
Image(systemName: selected ? "checkmark.circle" : "circle")
.foregroundColor(selected ? Color.blue : nil)
.font(.system(size: 24))
.onTapGesture {
if selected {
self.selection.remove(value)
} else {
self.selection.insert(value)
}
}.padding(.trailing, 8)
Text("\(value)")
}
}
}

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 }
