How do I check if an UIViewController
is currently being displayed?
My UIViewControllers
are listening for NSNotifications
- even if when they are not displayed (ie not shown). So I could have 10 UIViewController
in the background observing NSNotifications
from NSNotificationCenter
. When an NSNotification
is posted and received by the UIViewController
, I'd like to find out if it is currently being shown. If it is not, I will just set a boolean so that it will processed when the View is presented. If it currently being display, I will do more things like update tables immediately, and so forth...
You need to check if your viewcontroller is on top of the stack of navigationcontroller's viewcontroller array. A sample code is,
if (self.navigationController.topViewController == self) { //the view is currently displayed }
You can use this inside the viewWillAppear
method to check whether the current view is visible.
