SOLVED: Using a complex view as a picker

Forums > SwiftUI
@pcampbell83  

Hi,

Is it possible to use a complex view to function as a picker? I have a list view with various filters and my styles already applied. I can certainly re-use the list item row sub-views I already have; but then I lose the toolbar and filtering functions.

I should note: I have already used a simple view to function as the template for each row in the list. This is not enough for my requirement due to filtering mechanics etc that use the toolbar.

I'm thinking perhaps the picker itself isn't the right tool for the job given my more complex need and I might be better with just a navigationLink to a child view? Has anyone done this?

Nevermind; I tried and it works perfectly well if you just use a nav-link and pass a binding/state variable between the two. Much more flexible than a Picker
