I'm making an app where I add a subview to a view using addSubview:
on an IBAction
. In the same way, when the button with that IBAction
is touched again should call removeFromSuperview
on that subview added on that IBAction
:
PSEUDO CODE
-(IBAction)showPopup:(id)sender
{
System_monitorAppDelegate *delegate = (System_monitorAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
UIView *rootView = delegate.window.rootViewController.view;
if([self popoverView] is not on rootView)
{
[rootView addSubview:[self popoverView]];
}
else
{
[[self popoverView] removeFromSuperview];
}
}
You are probably looking for UIView's -(BOOL)isDescendantOfView:(UIView *)view;
taken in UIView class reference.
Return Value YES if the receiver is an immediate or distant subview of view or if view is the receiver itself; otherwise NO.
You will end up with a code like :
- (IBAction)showPopup:(id)sender {
if(![self.myView isDescendantOfView:self.view]) {
[self.view addSubview:self.myView];
} else {
[self.myView removeFromSuperview];
}
}
@IBAction func showPopup(sender: AnyObject) {
if !self.myView.isDescendant(of: self.view) {
self.view.addSubview(self.myView)
} else {
self.myView.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
