UITableViewController issue about notificationbanner

Hi @ed-mejia! 😄 Could you send me a working example replicating this issue so I can see whats going on?

Hi @Daltron !!!,

I couldn't put together a sample (bit short of time), but I can explain what's the issue and how I did work around it.

calling banner.show(on: target) will cause the banner view to be added as a subView of the target viewController, that's ok if you are dealing with UIViewControllers but if you have a UITableViewController or UICollectionViewController the view will be a scrollView and the banner will scroll with it.

In my case I have a static registration form with a UITableViewController so as soon as the user scrolls to the bottom to finish up all the fields the banner is gone at the top of the scrollView.

I tried to "hack" the banner view to support this case but I couldn't find any clean solution with the short time I had, so what I did was to create a UIViewController called "container" and move my UITableViewController as a child controller of the container, after that when displaying the banner I do something like this:

let target = self is UITableViewController ? self.parent : self        
banner.show(on: target)

This works pretty good, I don't know if the actual bannerView could handle internally this due to the nature of UITableViewControllers/UICollectionControllers views?

@ed-mejia Thanks for the in depth explanation. I understand what is going on. What I what do if I were you would be create a custom UIView object and put your table view inside that and then assign that custom view like so viewController.view = customView.

Going to close for now due to no activity.
