I currently have a ToastView class that creates a view that contains a button, label, and image. The goal is to get this ToastView instance to slide up and down on the controller as a subview, like a notification bar. In LayoutOnController(), I add the bar below the visible part of the page using nslayoutconstraint(), using the margins of the superview passed in. Finally, I animate upwards using keyframes and transform the view upwards.
My problem is that once I animate the bar upwards, the button becomes non-interactive. I can click my button and trigger my @objc function if I only call LayoutOnController().
Im assuming my problem is either in the ToastViewController where I add the ToastView object as a subview (maybe misunderstanding my view hierarchy?), or that the NSLayoutConstraints do not behave well with UIView.AnimateKeyFrames. I have tried using layout constants
( self.bottom.constant = 50) instead of self?.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: -40) , but the view doesnt show at all if I do that. Ive been stuck for a while so any insight is appreciated!
Here is my code:
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import CoreGraphics
class ToastView: UIView {
let toastSuperviewMargins: UILayoutGuide
let toastRenderType: String
var top = NSLayoutConstraint()
var bottom = NSLayoutConstraint()
var width = NSLayoutConstraint()

var trailing = NSLayoutConstraint()
var leading = NSLayoutConstraint()
private let label: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.textAlignment = .left
label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 15)
label.textColor = UIColor.white
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return label
}()
private let dismissButton: UIButton = {
let dismissButton = UIButton( type: .custom)
dismissButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
dismissButton.setTitleColor( UIColor.white, for: .normal)
dismissButton.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 15, weight: .semibold)
dismissButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return dismissButton
}()
private let imageView: UIImageView = {
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
imageView.clipsToBounds = true
imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return imageView
}()
init(toastRenderType: String, toastController: UIViewController, frame: CGRect) {
self.toastSuperviewMargins = toastController.view.layoutMarginsGuide
self.toastRenderType = toastRenderType
super.init(frame: frame)
configureToastType()
layoutToastConstraints()
}
//animate upwards from bottom of screen position (configured in layoutOnController() )
//CANNOT CLICK BUTTON HERE
func animateToast(){
UIView.animateKeyframes(withDuration: 4.6, delay: 0.0, options: [], animations: {

self?.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: -40)
})
UIView.addKeyframe(withRelativeStartTime: 0.93, relativeDuration: 0.065, animations: { [weak self] in
self?.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: 50)
})
}) { (completed) in
self.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
//configure internal text and color scheme
func configureToastType(){
if self.toastRenderType == "Ok" {
self.backgroundColor = UIColor(hue: 0.4222, saturation: 0.6, brightness: 0.78, alpha: 1.0)
label.text = "Configuration saved!"
dismissButton.setTitle("OK", for: .normal)
imageView.image = UIImage(named: "checkmark.png")

}
dismissButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(clickedToast), for: .touchUpInside)
}
//layout widget on the controller,using margins passed in via controller. start widget on bottom of screen.
func layoutOnController(){
let margins = self.toastSuperviewMargins
self.top = self.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margins.bottomAnchor, constant: 0)
self.width = self.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margins.widthAnchor, multiplier: 0.92)

@objc func clickedToast(){
print("you clicked the toast button")

ToastViewController, where I am testing the bar animation:
import UIKit
import CoreGraphics
class ToastViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
self.view.backgroundColor = .white
toastTest()
}
//the toastRenderType specifies whether the notif bar is red or green
func toastTest() -> () {
let toastView = ToastView(toastRenderType: "Ok", toastController: self, frame: .zero)
view.addSubview(toastView)
toastView.layoutOnController() //button click works
toastView.animateToast() //button click ignored
}
}
You cannot tap the button because you've transformed the view. So the button is still below the bottom - only its visual representation is visible.
You can either implement hitTest(...), calculate if the touch location is inside the transformed button, and call clickedToast() if so, or...
What I would recommend:
func animateToast(){
// call this async on the main thread
// so auto-layout has time to set self's initial position
DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in
guard let self = self, let sv = self.superview else { return }
// decrement the top constant by self's height + 8 (for a little spacing below)
self.top.constant -= (self.frame.height + 8)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0.0, options: [], animations: {
sv.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: { b in
if b {
// animate back down after 4-seconds
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 4.0, execute: { [weak self] in
// we only want to execute this if the button was not tapped
guard let self = self, let sv = self.superview else { return }
// set the top constant back to where it was
self.top.constant += (self.frame.height + 8)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0.0, options: [], animations: {
sv.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: { b in
self.removeFromSuperview()
})
})
}
})
}
}
