AKSwiftSlideMenu, NavigationControllers & UIBarButtonItem BadgeValues conflict #14
Description
I'm creating a shopping app, and this app has a shopping cart.
The shopping cart icon appears in most of the app's views always indicating how many items does the shopping cart has, it's a rightButtonItem inside a navigationItem.
It is now working properly. Except in the screens that are accessed using AKSwiftSlideMenu, the reason is because in all my other views I had to embed the destination view inside a navigation controller. The count of the shopping cart items is loaded when the app starts and it's stored as a global singleton that I access in all the viewDidLoads of my screens.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var numeroProducto = String(Carrito.numProd)
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.badgeValue = numeroProducto
}
To give the cart Button and a badgeValue I'm using the UIBarButtonItem + Badge framework.
The problem is that the AKSwiftSlideMenu uses these methods to segue.
func openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier(_ strIdentifier:String){
let destViewController : UIViewController = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: strIdentifier)
let topViewController : UIViewController = self.navigationController!.topViewController!
if (topViewController.restorationIdentifier! == destViewController.restorationIdentifier!){
print("Same VC")
} else {
self.navigationController!.pushViewController(destViewController, animated: true)
}
}
and
func slideMenuItemSelectedAtIndex(_ index: Int32) {
let topViewController: UIViewController = self.navigationController!.topViewController!
print("View Controller is : \(topViewController) \n", terminator: "")
switch(index) {
case 0:
print("Home\n", terminator: "")
self.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("Home")
break
case 1:
print("Play\n", terminator: "")
self.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("MiCuenta")
break
case 2:
print("Play\n", terminator: "")
self.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("QuienesSomos")
break
case 3:
print("Play\n", terminator: "")
self.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("NuestraCausa")
break
case 4:
print("Play\n", terminator: "")
self.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("Contacto")
break
case 5:
print("Play\n", terminator: "")
self.openViewControllerBasedOnIdentifier("FAQ")
break
default:
print("default\n", terminator: "")
}
}
So the problem is that a new Navigation controller is instantiated programmatically when I segue using the slide menu, but I don't know how to change the badgeValue of that navigation controller, any ideas?
