- UIKit is the old way of developing iOS apps
- SwfitUI (which we have learned in this course) replaced it and is doing most of the things
- There are still some things that might be better in UIKit or there might be some old code so it's important to understand how to use it in SwiftUI
- Instead of having MVVM there is MVC
- In MVC views are grouped together and controlled by a
Controller
- In MVC views are grouped together and controlled by a
- UIKit is object-oriented (not functional)
- UIKit uses a concept "delegation"
- Objects (controllers and views) often delegate some of their functionality to other objects
- They do this by having a var called
delegate -
delegatevar is constrained via a protocol with all the delegatable functionality
Enroute demo UIView (12:25)
- We create
MapViewto normal Swift file (not SwiftUI) because there isn'tvar body
This will draw a map and add pins to the points mentioned in annotations
import SwfitUI
import UIKit
import MapKit
struct MapView: UIViewRepresentable {
let annotations: [MKAnnotation]
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MKMapView {
let mkMapView = MKMapView()
mkMapView.delegate = context.coordinator
mkMapView.addAnnotations(self.annotations)
return mkMapView
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: MKMapView, context: Context) {
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
return Coordinator()
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
let view = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: "MapViewAnnotation") ??
MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "MapViewAnnotation")
view.canShowCallout = true
return view
}
}
}
