Yeah. Usually it is the last resort when it is very hard to manage view for whatever reason. As other answer suggests you may toggle some state variable on a view controller or the view itself if you can subclass it.
Thanks for the opinions :)
Can you elaborate more on that? What exactly are you using tag for in your UIView?
I have a customised video view and a fullscreen button in it. Both enter and exit fullscreen methods are linked to the outlet of the same fullscreen button. I toggle the tag of this button to 0 and 1 and according to its tag, I will decide whether to enter or exit the fullscreen. Is this an unreliable approach? If yes, then can you suggest a better one?
Why not a Bool var like isFullScreen in your view controller? Seems more clear to me, you toggle the variable and you know what you have to do
Thanks for the opinions :)
