Receiving error when trying to dismiss picker

Question

I created a program where picker shows upon clicking on my text field and I am trying to dismiss it when I click the "done" or "cancel" button on my toolbar.

I have no idea where it went wrong. Although it says

"2017-09-28 20:45:27.877897-0600 project1 [51296:5112470] [LayoutConstraints] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints."

All of my constraints are working fine atm..

Here is my code:

@IBOutlet weak var textField1: UITextField!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()


    let picker: UIPickerView

    picker = UIPickerView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: 300))
    picker.backgroundColor = .white

    picker.showsSelectionIndicator = true
    picker.delegate = self
    picker.dataSource = self

    let toolBar = UIToolbar(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.size.width, height: 40))
    toolBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.default
    toolBar.isTranslucent = true
    toolBar.tintColor = .black

    let doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action:
        Selector(("donePicker")))
    let spaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: UIBarButtonSystemItem.flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
    let cancelButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Cancel", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: Selector(("donePicker")))
    )

    toolBar.setItems([cancelButton, spaceButton, doneButton], animated: true)
    toolBar.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    let bgView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: 250 + toolBar.frame.size.height))
    print(picker.frame.size.height, toolBar.frame.size.height, bgView.frame.size.height)


    bgView.addSubview(picker)
    bgView.addSubview(toolBar)
    textField1.inputView = bgView
}

func donePicker() {
    textField1.resignFirstResponder()
}

And this is the error that it gives me:

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

Answer 1

I have tried a different approach to show PickerView and toolbar in textField.

Try this if it helps in your scenario:

let toolBar = UIToolbar()
toolBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.default
toolBar.isTranslucent = true
toolBar.tintColor = UIColor(red: 76/255, green: 217/255, blue: 100/255, alpha: 1)
toolBar.sizeToFit()

let doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: #selector(CalculateViewController.donePicker))
let spaceButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: UIBarButtonSystemItem.flexibleSpace, target: nil, action: nil)
let cancelButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Cancel", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: #selector(CalculateViewController.cancelPicker))

toolBar.setItems([cancelButton, spaceButton, doneButton], animated: false)
toolBar.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

textField1.inputView = pickerView
textField1.inputAccessoryView = toolBar

Answer 2

You can see the error message is:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[project1.CalculateViewController donePicker]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7faac1d0fab0'

For Swift, we don't define the selector like that (it's Objective C way). You should use like this:

let doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action:
    #selector(donePicker))

Answer 3

since the error is unrecognized selector sent to instance, you may let the picker become a property. replace the let picker: UIPickerView out of the viewdidload method with var picker: UIPickerView?
