presentViewController transition animation

Question

In my code I am using presentViewController to call my second viewcontroller

[self presentViewController:secondController animated:YES completion:nil];

When I call I need to show left to right animation (like in navigationController)

I don't want to use the navigationController but I need the animation similar to navigationController in presentViewController...

Answer 1

My decision for resolving the animation "cover horizontal" like a UINavigationViewController push method with using UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate.

1.Create a custom transition.

Header

@interface CoverHorizontalTransition: NSObject<UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>
@property (assign, nonatomic) BOOL dismiss;
@end

Implementation

@implementation CoverHorizontalTransition

- (void)animateTransition:(nonnull id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
    UIViewController *fromViewController;
    fromViewController =
    [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey];

    UIViewController *toViewController;
    toViewController =
    [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey];

    UIView *containerView = transitionContext.containerView;

    CGRect animatedViewFrame;
    animatedViewFrame = containerView.bounds;
    animatedViewFrame.origin = CGPointMake(CGRectGetWidth(animatedViewFrame), 0);

    [containerView addSubview:toViewController.view];

    if (_dismiss) {
        [containerView bringSubviewToFront:fromViewController.view];

        [UIView
         animateWithDuration:[self transitionDuration:transitionContext]
         animations:^{
             fromViewController.view.frame = animatedViewFrame;
         } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
             [containerView.superview addSubview:toViewController.view];
             [fromViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
             [transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
         }];
    } else {
        toViewController.view.frame = animatedViewFrame;

        [UIView
         animateWithDuration:[self transitionDuration:transitionContext]
         animations:^{
             toViewController.view.center = containerView.center;
         } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
             [transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
         }];
    }
}

- (NSTimeInterval)transitionDuration:(nullable id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
    return 0.25;
}

@end

2.Create transition delegate.

@implementation CustomViewControllerTransitioningDelegate

- (id<UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForPresentedController:(UIViewController *)presented presentingController:(UIViewController *)presenting sourceController:(UIViewController *)source
{
    return [CoverHorizontalTransition new];
}

- (id<UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForDismissedController:(UIViewController *)dismissed
{
    CoverHorizontalTransition *transition;
    transition = [CoverHorizontalTransition new];
    transition.dismiss = YES;

    return transition;
}

@end

Sample of using.

...
// Save delegate to strong property
secondController.customTransitioningDelegate =
[BaseViewControllerTransitioningDelegate new];

secondController.transitioningDelegate =
secondController.customTransitioningDelegate;
secondController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCustom;

[self presentViewController:secondController animated:YES completion:nil];

This code works for iOS 10+.

Answer 2

Add this line of code before presenting view controller

secondController.modalTransitionStyle   = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
secondController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;

// Take a look at this enum

typedef enum {
   UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical = 0,
   UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal,
   UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve,
   UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl,
} UIModalTransitionStyle;
