Xlpagertabstrip: viewSafeAreaInsetsDidChange() not called from childForTabsController

[platoputhur]

XLPagerTabStrip: 8.1.0
Xcode: 10.0
iOS: 11.4

I tried to print the safe area insets and its zero all the time, tried to print the details by overriding viewSafeAreaInsetsDidChange(). It didn't work because this function is never called. I am trying to use the safe area constraints so that the content is not covered by the notch in iPhone X and the other models with notch. Please check the screenshots:

Below is the code where it displays the content:
`
let articlePageController = ArticlePageMenuController()
articlePageController.menu = menu

            self.addChild(articlePageController)
            articlePageController.didMove(toParent: self)

            let articlePageView = articlePageController.view
            articlePageView?.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
            view.addSubview(articlePageView!)

            articlePageView?.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true
            articlePageView?.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
                            articlePageView?.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
            articlePageView?.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.trailingAnchor).isActive = true

`

This is an issue with the plugin right? Or am I missing something?

Anyone know why it behaves this way?

hi, I have the same problem, I found this.
you can use edgesForExtendedLayout = [] in the viewDidLoad()

or set contentInset?

view detail

480

[yasuoyuhao]

or in child view fix is use additionalSafeAreaInsets

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/positioning_content_relative_to_the_safe_area

my code

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        // Adjust the safe area insets of the
        //  embedded child view controller.
        self.childViewControllers.forEach { (child) in
            child.additionalSafeAreaInsets = view.safeAreaInsets
        }
    }

i fixed it.

@yasuoyuhao Yes it works. Once you have set the desired value, you will not be able to set it to .zero.

[platoputhur]

@yasuoyuhao It didn't work for me. I added your code in the root view controller for tabs and nothing changed.

[Jinfaa]

@platoputhur Use viewControllers instead of childViewControllers.
But my problem is still relevant. It works strangely, when I indicate for example “0,0,20,0” and after that I will indicate the value above, everything works, if below it is not.

@Jinfaa I added the below code inside the ParentController for tabs. LIke you said, I am using viewControllers, but still no luck.

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        // Adjust the safe area insets of the
        //  embedded child view controller.
        self.viewControllers.forEach { (childVc) in
            childVc.additionalSafeAreaInsets = view.safeAreaInsets
        }
    }

What is your layout code?
because I am effective.
