Incorrect size and location in UITableViewController

[leongwq]

After implementing the code, the location and size of the view is wrong. I am using a tableview

Hi, thanks for reporting, in which view do you access the dodo property?

[leongwq]

Im accessing it in a UITableView controller.

This is my code in didSelectRowAtIndexPath self.view.dodo.success("Lock has been unlocked")

[evgenyneu]

Got it, can you check the bounds of the view in didSelectRowAtIndexPath for me?

view.layoutIfNeeded()
print(view.bounds)

[leongwq]

(0.0, 0.0, 375.0, 667.0)

[evgenyneu]

Good, the size is non-zero. What if you remove view.layoutIfNeeded(), does it show same bounds?

It looks like Dodo can not be used in UITableViewController. UITableViewController sets a UITableView as its root view. Dodo adds a subview to the UITableView when a message is displayed. But it looks like UITableView does not like when subviews are added to it manually.

A solution to this would be to use plain UIViewController instead of UITableViewController and add a UITableView to it in the storyboard.

I know it sucks, sorry. I added a notice about this problem to the README. Does anybody know how to use Dodo with UITableViewController?

Adding the view to a NavigationController seems to do the trick.

self.navigationController!.view.dodo.success("Connected to lock")

However this only works if the TableViewController is embedded in a NavigationController

[evgenyneu]

Ah, good thinking. I will leave this ticket open, so others can contribute.

@leongwq Thanks for your trick :
self.navigationController!.view.dodo.success("Connected to lock")

Is working perfect

extension String {
var stringWidth: CGFloat {
let constraintRect = CGSize(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
let boundingBox = self.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines).boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: [.usesLineFragmentOrigin, .usesFontLeading], attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)], context: nil)
return boundingBox.width
}
}

let width = (self.tableView.frame.width - message.stringWidth - 5) / 2
self.view.dodo.style.bar.marginToSuperview = CGSize(width: width, height: 15)
