How to dismiss MWPhotoBrowser while presenting modally?

Question

I'm using an MWPhotoBrowser instance to show albums or single images in my app. While using a navigation controller, I can simply press the back button to pop the view controller. I wish to present it modally but I can't figure out how to dismiss it. I tried the following code in the hopes that I would be able to swipe down to dismiss, but to no avail.

    let browser = MWPhotoBrowser(photos: photos)
    browser?.delegate = self
    browser?.enableSwipeToDismiss
    self.present(browser!, animated: true, completion: nil)

(photos is an array of MWPhoto)

Can anyone point me to a solution? Thanks.

you need only a way to dismiss vc after present it modally ? — vaibhav, Dec 03 '16 at 10:11
This is how you dismiss your modally presented VC dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil) . — Pranav Jaiswal, Dec 03 '16 at 11:06
@vaibhav Yes, I know how to do that generally but not in this specific case. — Swapnil Dhanwal, Dec 03 '16 at 11:17
considering this case, you can use a floating button for this. If this is not you're looking for, let me know — KrishnaCA, Dec 03 '16 at 11:19

Considering that you can't edit MWPhotoBrowser. You can approach this problem by adding a floating button after

let windowButton: UIButton = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.custom)
let browser:MWPhotoBrowser? // declared outside functions

self.present(browser, animated: true, completion: {
      self.windowButton.frame = CGRect(x: 20, y: 100, width: 50, height: 50)
      self.windowButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.brown
      self.windowButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.dismissFunc), for: UIControlEvents.touchDown)
      if let window:UIWindow = (UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window)! {
          window.addSubview(self.windowButton)
      }
 })

func dismissFunc() {
    self.browser.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
        self.windowButton.removeFromSuperview()
    })
}

Thanks for the answer. I'll try it out and reply with an update. — Swapnil Dhanwal, Dec 04 '16 at 11:20
