Swift - Segmented control - Switch multiple views

Question

Until now I still can't figure how to switch multiple views in one view controller. My storyboard is like this one.

Right now I want to embed two views inside my view controller.

My code for segmented control to switch two views in one view controller so far.

import UIKit  class PopularHistoryViewController: UIViewController {      @IBOutlet weak var segmentedControl: UISegmentedControl!      @IBAction func indexChanged(sender: UISegmentedControl) {         switch segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex         {         case 0:             NSLog("Popular selected")             //show popular view         case 1:             NSLog("History selected")             //show history view         default:             break;          }     }      override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()          // Do any additional setup after loading the view.     }   } 

Another thing, If I put two views inside my controller, what is best practice to differentiate it?

Answer 1

If you want to do UI layout in Xcode for the two overlapping subviews, a better solution is to use two UIContainerViewController, and use the same way of setting the hidden property as suggested in the above answer.

Answer 2

You can use the isHidden property of the UIView to show/hide your required views. First you have to link both views to IBOutlets through the Interface builder

@IBOutlet weak var historyView: UIView! @IBOutlet weak var popularView: UIView!  @IBAction func indexChanged(_ sender: UISegmentedControl) {     switch segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex {     case 0:         historyView.isHidden = true         popularView.isHidden = false     case 1:         historyView.isHidden = false         popularView.isHidden = true     default:         break;     } } 

Note: it was named hidden in Swift 1 and 2.
