Get name of current view residing in a UIWindow

Question

Hello experts!

Let's say I add a new view to my UIWindow

[windowRoot addSubview:MyNewView.view];

Is it possible to retrieve the name of that view later on if I have reference to windowRoot? Something like:

[windowRoot getCurrentViewName]  

Thank You

Answer 1

UIWindow is a UIView, so you can do something like this to get the subviews of it:

for (UIView *view in windowRoot.subviews) {
    NSLog(@"View: %@", view);
}

Answer 2

Your question seems to imply a bigger design issue. I assume by "name" you mean the name of the variable referring to new view? That variable should actually be an instance variable of your window controller.

Hi,

NSUserDefaults *savedData = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

NSString *currentPage = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", self.nibName];

[savedData setObject:currentPage forKey:@"lastViewAccessed"];

//self.nibName will get you what you the name of the view.
