Change SideBarMenu from left to right

[ibhavin]

I want to change "SidebarMenu" from left to right when Arabic language is selected in my app. In my app when I select Arabic language then barbutton(menuButton) is move to right side. So, I want to open "SideBarMenu" from right side. In english language it should open from left side as usual.

Here is the code in ViewController:

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

    let currentLanguageCode = LanguageManager.currentLanguageCode()
    if currentLanguageCode == "ar" {
        // I want to show "SideBarMenu" from right side
    } else {
       // I want to show "SideBarMenu" from left side 
    }

    if self.revealViewController() != nil {
        menuButton.target = self.revealViewController()
        menuButton.action = #selector(SWRevealViewController.revealToggle(_:))
        self.view.addGestureRecognizer(self.revealViewController().panGestureRecognizer())
    }
}

I have tried to set rightViewController but its not working.
revealController?.setRight(rearController, animated: true)

@iDevelopper have you changed anything in storyboard in above demo? I am using objective c and I want to implement for Arabic. So could you help to implement RTL in revealviewcontroller?

My source code

SWRevealViewController *revealViewController = self.revealViewController;
    if ( revealViewController )
    {
        if ([Util isDeviceLanguageRTL]) {
            [self.btnMenu setTarget:self.revealViewController];
            [self.btnMenu setAction: @selector(revealToggle:)];
            [self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.revealViewController.tapGestureRecognizer];
            self.revealViewController.rearViewRevealWidth = self.view.frame.size.width - 100;
            
            revealViewController.rightViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"RearTableViewController"];
            revealViewController.rearViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"VC"];
        } else {
            [self.btnMenu setTarget: self.revealViewController];
            [self.btnMenu setAction: @selector( revealToggle: )];
            [self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.revealViewController.tapGestureRecognizer];
            self.revealViewController.rearViewRevealWidth = self.view.frame.size.width - 100;
        }
    }

@ozamihir1990 , no change in storyboard, only the code in FrontViewController. What's your problem?

[ozamihir1990]

@iDevelopper segue is not working which I implement in my RearTableViewController. It works in English but when I change to Arabic If I click on any cell it's not working.
I used segue in my storyboard to present my view.

Please see my storyboard screenshots :

[iDevelopper]

First when you are RTL the btnMenu action should be rightRevealToggle and not revealToggle.

And in the sample I added a push segue which works well when RTL or LTR:

Could you let me know if this sample works for you?

[ozamihir1990]

@iDevelopper sorry for late replay,
I can see the menus in Right Side, but when I click on any menu item it's not pushed to relevant screen. For example, If I pressed on Item 0 or Item 1 nothing happens (I know you didn't add any viewController but I added segue. Please see my above screenshots).

[iDevelopper]

As I said, in the above sample I added a segue and when item 0 or item 1 are clicked the front view is pushed. It is not the case for you?

[ozamihir1990]

I think there is some miscommunication, in your example when I pressed on item 0 or item 1 nothing happens because you didn't add any segue in item 0 or item 1, but I added my segue in cell pressed in storyboard(it works in English but when I change to Arabic it doesn't work. )

[iDevelopper]

Perhaps you did not get the last example, however I added two segues now. One for item 0 and one for item 1.

Your app is crashing when I use Arabic, you didn't add any segue in Arabic storyboard.

[ozamihir1990]

I am using a single storyboard, for other languages, I am using Main.strings.

[iDevelopper]

No only in the main storyboard, it should be sufficient as the project is localised. Why the app does not crash here?

[iDevelopper]

However I removed the others storyboard now. I have one storyboard (base) and three .strings.

I think it's your storyboard issue. you didn't add 2 cell in Arabic.
Crash log :

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'unable to dequeue a cell with identifier Cell0 - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard'

Are you checking in same code which you provided?

[iDevelopper]

There are two cells for each language, only one storyboard... No issues here. I am using Xcode 10.0 beta 3.

[ozamihir1990]

I am using Xcode 9.3, So I am not sure but it's using Arabic storyboard in Xcode 9

Please see the uploaded video in xcode 9.3

Hello, @iDevelopper any suggestions for my issue?

[iDevelopper]

Hi @ozamihir1990 , I will test with Xcode 9.4.1 now.

[iDevelopper]

Works like a charme. Xcode 9.4.1 - Simulator iPhone 6s RTL language arabic. What can I do?

[ozamihir1990]

ok, @iDevelopper let me check maybe I did some minor mistake in the code.
Thanks for your support.

[iDevelopper]

But is my sample works without change anything in it?

@iDevelopper Sorry for late replay, I got the solution. Actually, I was using common array for cell identifier,display cell label and image name. and I used NSLocalizedString for that array. Then cell identifiers also changes when I change to Arabic.
