I have a subclass of UINavigationBar and I want to make a subclass of UINavigationController that uses this UINavigationBar subclass. I know how to set the default UINavigationController to use a custom Navigation Bar
let navController = UINavigationController(navigationBarClass: CustomNavigationBar.self, toolbarClass: nil)
however I want to be able to create a custom UINavigationController (programatically) that already sets my custom navigation bar as its navigation bar class. I have seen how to do it at this link but it seems a bit dated (2012) and 'hacky AF' - https://stackoverflow.com/a/9610801/2654425. I know how to do it in 'Storyboard' by setting the navigation bar class of the UINavigationController but I would like this to be done programmatically in my Custom UINavigation Controller.
Here is a basic UINavigationBar and UINavigationController Subclass:
class CustomNavigationBar: UINavigationBar {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)!
}
override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}
}
class CustomNavigationController: UINavigationController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
Im not sure where to set the custom navigation bar. Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
