How to present a modal view outside of a button?

It is still happening. Before or after return true?

Before return true

Oh and delete the code from your view controller. So remember the viewDidAppear code that we put in from StackOverFlow. Just delete that code.

Yeah I tried that. Still not working.

Ok, so if you deleted the viewDidAppear code. Is the view not presenting or is it just presenting multiple times?

Well, now the view doesn't show up at all. Is this because I've technically opened the app before? How do I reset that?

Yes, it's because you have opened the app before. So go to Simulator and do this Simulator -> Reset all Content and Settings. Then re run the app and hopefully it works :).

It didn't work...

Okay. Thanks a lot! I'll try it and let you know.

Ok :). If there are any errors that come up just let me know and I will try to resolve them with you.

What do I replace self.storyboard? with? I'm getting an error.

What does the error say?

With that specific view? I don't know what some of the connections are, and I can't delete that second one (the view -> Htp). Also, when I control drag from the entire view, it draws the blue line, but when I scroll over something, it doesn't say "Insert outlet" or whatever. It doesn't do anything.

No errors.

Ah... ok :). Did it work? Depending on where you put it there might be issues....

Did you put a name in the ID Inspector in main.storyboard?

Ya, you can get SIGABRT with an object with no connection but you get that error in other instances too.

Are there multiple storyboards in your project or just one storyboard in your project? Also, you should zoom out fully when in the storyboard, and then click on the view and then add your ID in there.

Yes zoom does matter because otherwise you might not get the Storyboard ID option because you would be clicking on the view instead of the view controller. Also, put it in ViewController B (the one you want to go to programmatically).

P.S. I wish I could send pictures to explain.

The self should be there. Are you calling the if statement in your viewDidLoad?

Unfortunately not here :(. If you have github maybe you could post it on github and I could download it from there...

Sure. Copy and paste the code in here and I will take a look at it.

Don't see any errors in the code. Just confirming though "HowToPlayView" is the value of what you put inside the Storyboard ID and HowToPlay is the name of the view controller.. right?

No there shouldn't be any connections at all because this is just instantiating a view controller. You aren't really connecting it to anything in IB.

So should I x that out?

So you are putting it in Storyboard ID not Restoration ID right

Ah, are you sure ViewControllerB's class is correct? Zoom out all the way and click on ViewControllerB. Then make sure that ViewControllerB's class is set properly. It should be under Identity Inspector and there should be a Class field.

Also, check to make sure your connections are properly set. There might be some @IBOutlets and @IBActions not properly set.

How do I check that? And on what?

Like what does it look like if they are not properly set?

Check it on ViewControllerB. Also, one more thing why don't we try removing the "as! HowToPlay" from your code.

If you check your connections. Improper connections won't look any different, but you might see duplicate connections in there so you might have to delete one.

Then did you reconnect the connection?

How do I do that?

Ok, so get rid of the @IBOutlet that you removed in your ViewController and then create that IBOutlet again.

I think I did that wrong. I deleted the one connection I had, and then what? Give me a step by step. I'm really new. I got a bad access eroor.

Ok, so you go into your HowToPlay.swift file and then delete the IBOutlet that you disconnected. So just select the @IBOutlet and then just hit backspace. Then go back to your storyboard and then re add the connection again by using Ctrl + Drag.

CTRL drag the entire viewcontroller?

No just the IBOutlet that you deleted. So let's say that you removed a connection that was a button. Then you would Ctrl + Drag from the Button. What connection did you delete? Did you delete a button connection?

Ya I am really confused as to what is going on with those connections. It's pretty hard to figure out what's going out without pictures or anything...

Maybe just redo the connections from scratch. So remove all of the connections from Interface Builder and from your View Controller. Then just re add all the connections that you deleted.

Okay. Do you have an email?

Getting EXC: Bad access

Please help? Also what if inside if statement?

It's really difficult to explain on this forum without having access to the project :(. Is there any way you could send the project to me? Do you have a StackOver Flow account. If you have a Stack OverFlow account you could ask it in there and include some pictures as to what's going on as well. Also, if you post it on stack over flow send me the link to your question so I could take a look at it.

IDK how to add images downloaded on your computer.

Sweet! You should be able to add pictures to your question. There is a picture button next to the code option. So when editing your question there is an option for bold, italics, etc. There should be an image option right next to the code button. We will continue this in StackOverFlow!

Ok.. Let me type it up.

I'd just like to say thank you so much. I am trying my best to learn Swift, and you have been an immense help. It is amazing that there are people like you who devote that much time to helping others. Thanks!!!!

No problem :).

I remember learning Swift. It's a great language and I am happy to help :).

Ugh oh. Are they still disappearing?

Got it. So basically is the app giving any errors or is it not presenting at all?

The view is not displaying, but there are no errors at all.

Did you reset the simulator?

Yes.

Just to verify that your code is right could you paste in your entire AppDelegate's code?

import UIKit

@UIApplicationMain class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

var window: UIWindow?


func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool { // Override point for customization after application launch. 
        let launchedBefore = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().boolForKey("launchedBefore"); if !launchedBefore { self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible(); self.window?.rootViewController?.performSegueWithIdentifier("htpview", sender: nil)
            //Put the name of your segue here. 
            NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setBool(true, forKey: "launchedBefore"); NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize() }; return true }
    return true
        }

func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {
    // Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
    // Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}

func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
    // Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
    // If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}

func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication) {
    // Called as part of the transition from the background to the inactive state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}

func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
    // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}

func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
    // Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
}

}

Paste in this code exactly and let's take a look at what happens. Also, make sure to reset the simulator!

YAY IT WORKED!! Now for another thing that should take half the time. I have to do the same thing, but with an if statement/

If a the button number is greater than the random number, then go to the results/losing page.

It's called frustration for a reason. ;)

Alright so what you will want to do is create another segue that takes you to the results/losing page. And then create an if statement and within that if statement do the performSegueWithIdentifier("segueNameHere", nil).

func check(){ if numberValue > randomInt { numberValue = 0 performSegueWithIdentifier("results", sender: nil) } }

I'm calling check() every time I click the button. It is returning SIGABRT.

Which line is the error occurring on?

SIGABRT always goes to the class line of App Delegate no matter what. The error is only occurring when I reach the number.

Are you sure you created the segue properly and that the identifier is set to "results"?

Yes. Code here: import UIKit var numberValue = 0 let randomInt = getRandomNumber()

class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var buttonLabel: UILabel! @IBOutlet weak var button1: UIButton!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
            // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}



override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()

    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}





@IBAction func buttonPressed() {
    numberValue += 1
    updateButtonValue(buttonLabel)
}

@IBAction func check() {
    if numberValue > randomInt {
        numberValue = 0
        performSegueWithIdentifier("results", sender: nil)
    }
}

}

Hmmm... That code by itself looks correct. Could you copy and paste the full SIGABRT error?

Ya, according to the error it's an issue with your segue in your storyboard. Hmm... the 90 minutes should be around over so go to StackOverFlow and ask a question there. Make sure to paste images of your segues so I can take a look at them.

According to your pictures it looks like results is the StoryboardID of a view controller not a segue. Remember that previous little tutorial I made here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37380446/how-do-you-make-a-modal-view-appear-outside-of-a-controller .

Go to that and make a segue with the identifier "results". It should work then.

Amazing! Glad I could help :).

P.S. I would recommend you delete that last StackOverFlow Post that you made. People are starting to down vote it and you don't want to loose precious reputation (reputation is the point system in StackOverFlow).
