Swift version of @onegray's answer
protocol RequestsNavigationPopVerification {
var confirmationTitle: String { get }
var confirmationMessage: String { get }
}
extension RequestsNavigationPopVerification where Self: UIViewController {
var confirmationTitle: String {
return "Go back?"
}
var confirmationMessage: String {
return "Are you sure?"
}
}
final class NavigationController: UINavigationController {
func navigationBar(navigationBar: UINavigationBar, shouldPopItem item: UINavigationItem) -> Bool {
guard let requestsPopConfirm = topViewController as? RequestsNavigationPopVerification else {
popViewControllerAnimated(true)
return true
}
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: requestsPopConfirm.confirmationTitle, message: requestsPopConfirm.confirmationMessage, preferredStyle: .Alert)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel) { _ in
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
let dimmed = navigationBar.subviews.flatMap { $0.alpha < 1 ? $0 : nil }
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25) {
dimmed.forEach { $0.alpha = 1 }
}
})
return
})
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Go back", style: .Default) { _ in
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
self.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
})
})
presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
return false
}
}
Now in any controller, just conform to RequestsNavigationPopVerification
and this behaviour is adopted by default.
