Load custom xib from viewcontroller in SWIFT

In custom UIView class  class NearByOffer: UIView, override the init method as follows
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        xibSetup()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

 }


Set up the xib as follows:-

func xibSetup() {
        view = loadViewFromNib()
        
        view.frame = bounds
        view.autoresizingMask = [UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleWidth, UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight]        
        // Adding custom subview on top of our view (over any custom drawing > see note below)
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 1.0, alpha: 0.5)
        addSubview(view)
    }


Load view from custom nib/xib as follows:-
    func loadViewFromNib() -> UIView {
        let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
        let nib = UINib(nibName: "NearByOffer", bundle: bundle)
        
        // Assumes UIView is top level and only object in CustomView.xib file
        let view = nib.instantiateWithOwner(self, options: nil)[0] as! UIView
        return view
    }



USAGE in ViewController

    func showNearByOfferPopup()
    {
        let window = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate?.window
        let nearByOfferViewObject = NearByOffer(frame: (window!?.frame)!)
        window!!.addSubview(nearByOfferViewObject)
    }

How to kill/exit iOS application on a button click programmatically

I had been practising below code to kill an iOS application. exit(0); But last week, my application was rejected by app store due to following reason: We found that your app includes a UI control for quitting the app. This is not in compliance with the iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines . To avoid any such rebuff, suspend the application using following code snippet. UIApplication.shared.perform(#selector(NSXPCConnection.suspend)) Good news is that now my application is passed the  iOS Human Interface Guidelines and live on app store.

Return multiple values from a function in objective C

We can return tuples in swift as follows:- func getData () -> ( Int , Int , Int ) { //...code here return ( hour , minute , second ) } You can't do that in objective-c. Best option is using parameters by reference . Something like this. - ( void ) getHour :( int *) hour minute :( int *) minute second :( int *) second { * hour = 1 ; * minute = 2 ; * second = 3 ; } And use it like this. int a , b , c ; [ self getHour :& a minute :& b second :& c ]; NSLog (@ "%i, %i, %i" , a , b , c );
