我通过以下方法做到了这一点:

斯威夫特3

override func didMoveToParentViewController(parent: UIViewController?) {
   super.didMoveToParentViewController(parent)

   if parent == nil {
      println("Back Button pressed.")
      delegate?.goingBack()
   }           
}

斯威夫特4

override func didMove(toParent parent: UIViewController?) {
    super.didMove(toParent: parent)

    if parent == nil {
        debugPrint("Back Button pressed.")
    }
}

不需要自定义后退按钮。

Swift 5 __ Xcode 11.5

在我的情况下，我想做一个动画，当它完成后，返回。 一种覆盖后退按钮默认动作的方法 调用你的自定义动作是这样的:

     override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        setBtnBack()
    }

    private func setBtnBack() {
        for vw in navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews ?? [] where "\(vw.classForCoder)" == "_UINavigationBarContentView" {
            print("\(vw.classForCoder)")
            for subVw in vw.subviews where "\(subVw.classForCoder)" == "_UIButtonBarButton" {
                let ctrl = subVw as! UIControl
                ctrl.removeTarget(ctrl.allTargets.first, action: nil, for: .allEvents)
                ctrl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(backBarBtnAction), for: .touchUpInside)
            }
        }
    }


    @objc func backBarBtnAction() {
        doSomethingBeforeBack { [weak self](isEndedOk) in
            if isEndedOk {
                self?.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
            }
        }
    }


    private func doSomethingBeforeBack(completion: @escaping (_ isEndedOk:Bool)->Void ) {
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: { [weak self] in
            self?.vwTxt.alpha = 0
        }) { (isEnded) in
            completion(isEnded)
        }
    }

或者你可以使用这个方法一次来探索NavigationBar视图层次结构，并获得访问_UIButtonBarButton视图的索引，转换为UIControl，删除目标-动作，并添加你的自定义目标-动作:

    private func debug_printSubviews(arrSubviews:[UIView]?, level:Int) {
        for (i,subVw) in (arrSubviews ?? []).enumerated() {
            var str = ""
            for _ in 0...level {
                str += "\t"
            }
            str += String(format: "%2d %@",i, "\(subVw.classForCoder)")
            print(str)
            debug_printSubviews(arrSubviews: subVw.subviews, level: level + 1)
        }
    }

    // Set directly the indexs
    private func setBtnBack_method2() {
        // Remove or comment the print lines
        debug_printSubviews(arrSubviews: navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews, level: 0)   
        let ctrl = navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews[1].subviews[0] as! UIControl
        print("ctrl.allTargets: \(ctrl.allTargets)")
        ctrl.removeTarget(ctrl.allTargets.first, action: nil, for: .allEvents)
        print("ctrl.allTargets: \(ctrl.allTargets)")
        ctrl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(backBarBtnAction), for: .touchUpInside)
        print("ctrl.allTargets: \(ctrl.allTargets)")
    }

一种选择是实现您自己的自定义后退按钮。你需要添加以下代码到你的viewDidLoad方法:

    - (void) viewDidLoad {
        [super viewDidLoad];
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
        UIBarButtonItem *newBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(back:)];
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton;
    }

    - (void) back:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
        // Perform your custom actions
        // ...
        // Go back to the previous ViewController
        [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }

更新:

以下是Swift的版本:

        override func viewDidLoad {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
            let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Bordered, target: self, action: "back:")
            self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
        }

       @objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
            // Perform your custom actions
            // ...
            // Go back to the previous ViewController
            self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
        }

更新2:

以下是Swift 3的版本:

        override func viewDidLoad {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
            let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: #selector(YourViewController.back(sender:)))
            self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
        }

       @objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
            // Perform your custom actions
            // ...
            // Go back to the previous ViewController
            _ = navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
        }

斯威夫特3:

override func didMove(toParentViewController parent: UIViewController?) {
    super.didMove(toParentViewController: parent)

    if parent == nil{
        print("Back button was clicked")
    }
}

据我所知，你想清空你的数组，当你按下后退按钮，弹出到你之前的ViewController，让你的数组加载在这个屏幕上

let settingArray  = NSMutableArray()
@IBAction func Back(sender: AnyObject) {
    self. settingArray.removeAllObjects()
    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
} 

在我的例子中，viewWillDisappear效果最好。但在某些情况下，必须修改之前的视图控制器。所以这是我的解决方案访问之前的视图控制器，它在Swift 4中工作:

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
        if isMovingFromParentViewController {
            if let viewControllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers {
                if (viewControllers.count >= 1) {
                    let previousViewController = viewControllers[viewControllers.count-1] as! NameOfDestinationViewController
                    // whatever you want to do
                    previousViewController.callOrModifySomething()
                }
            }
        }
    }
