The UINavigationItem is not deleting from the Navigator. It seems like it's locked on there and the viewcontroller.
How do I remove it?
You may have previously done embed-in NavigationController without noticing it. So go check that at menu editor.
Moreover, it's better that you unplug all associated navigation controller. So right click your item and see outlet to find if anything connected. If so, remove them all. After all this done, you should be able to remove the item properly.

I am trying to tidy up my UI by consolidating various things in a Tool Bar, and am utterly confused. I am using Interface Builder rather than constructing the controls programmatically, because my UI is fairly simple and not particularly dynamic.
What I did did so far:
Added an empty tool bar.
Dragged two previously existing and working buttons onto the tool bar. They changed their class from UIButton
to UIBarButtonItem, and the inspector now shows them as having no
Sent Actions or Referencing Outlet, but the the previous action &
outlet in the View Controller - responding to taps, setting the
label of the button - still work.
Created a new Button directly
in the tool bar. Wired up its action & outlet by ctrl-drag in the
normal way. The inspector shows the Action and Outlet for this
button as connected, which is nice, but sadly neither of them works.
Clicking the button does not invoke the action; setting the label of
the button does not cause anything to happen on the screen, even
after I tried prodding the tool bar with a setNeedsDisplay.
I'm not sure what to try next. Googling has shown me that I'm not the only person to find using UIToolBar via Interface Bulder difficult and confusing, but I haven't found a solution to my exact problem.
I don't particularly want to resort to creating my entire GUI programmatically just to tidy up a few buttons. Creating all the controls in Interface Builder outside the tool bar, getting them wired up and working, then moving them into the tool bar would presumably also work - but it would be a kludge, and would leave me still none the wiser if anything went wrong later.
Should you try using UIBarButtonItem instead of UIButton? It works for me.
i had a similar issue.
Did you created an extra UITapGestureRecognizer for root view ?
Maybe for something like > When elsewhere than UITextView clicked, resignFirstResponder for all UITextViews !
In my case, on 7.1, that extra UITapGestureRecognizer prevented transfer of event to IBAction of UIBarButtonItem which is inside an UIToolBar.
IBAction was made on Storyboard by Ctrl+Drag.
on 8.1 it was working. Not on 7.1
Read some suggestions to create an extra UIView and putting all visual elements into that extra UIView except UIToolBar
The View Controllers in my Storyboard file keep disappearing.
As of now I have to press the up arrow and highlight over every single item to reinstate my view controllers.
What can I do to get rid of this problem and is there something else I can do to reinstate these disappearing view controllers onto my storyboard?
This is a bug... Usually i'm able to fix it by closing the storyboard and re-opening it.
I was able to fix mine by resetting xcode completely. Try this: http://www.developers-life.com/uninstallresetting-xcode.html
Here are the steps I've followed - pretty much this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFNtD098Bbk&feature=player_embedded
Create new Tab Bar Application
Looking at MainWindow.xib I drag a UIViewController in
Drag one of the tabs View Controllers onto the UIViewController
Set up buttons and actions top push the new view
Note I have no idea how he did the last step in the video, dragging one tab object onto another won't work for me
The navigation works fine, the new view gets pushed and all that jazz. But when I go to the tab that has the navigation controller it has two navigationBar's.
I can't find where to get rid of this for the life of me. It must be something really simple but I've been searching for way too long.
None of the many tutorials I've found have this problem, not does the project files of those tutorials even though my project looks pretty much the same as theirs in IB.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of the useless navigation bar?
I'm using Xcode version 4.0.1
Not sure how I missed it but the answer was stupidly simple.
Just needed to delete the UIToolbar from the nib file, can't believe I didn't find that earlier.
My UINavigationController's navigation bar is kind of static. This means, there is no back button, because going back in the stack is done via the first entry of the UITableView the controller holds. The title also always shows the name of the root item.
To achieve this I have added my own custom view to UINavigationController.NavigationItem.titleView
It looks a bit odd if a new controller is pushed in: the old navigation item vanishes, just to get replaced by one looking exactly the same.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior? I want the animation for the content of the controller, so pushing the new controller without animation is not an option.
Add your own UINavigationBar and implement your own delegate and custom animations for the content views.
It sounds like you'll only need one UINavigationItem, so that makes this model easy to manage.
I'm writing a program with a UITableView with and add button in the Navigation Bar which leads to an edit page. When you click on an item in the table, a view (rView) is pushed with information pertaining to that item. This view has an edit button that also leads to the edit page. Is there a way that I could put an if statement for the done button on the edit page that says "if parentViewController is the UITableView to go to rView, else popViewController?" I would assume there is a way to do this, but I'm not sure of the syntax to do so. Thanks
If I understand correctly you have a UINavigationController and push onto it
a UITableView
an "rViewController" (you can't push a view, must be a controller)
an "EditController"
But there is a possibility that step 2 is omitted and you go directly to the edit screen.
Now when the last controller is popped, you want to be able to always go to a "rViewController", even if it's not on the stack.
First of all, the parentViewController is NOT the previous controller on the stack, but rather the UINavigationController itself, so it has nothing to do with the present problem.
The way to do this is by setting the UINavigationController's viewControllers property explicitly with an NSArray. I haven't tried this but this should work:
When a user presses the "add" button, instead of just pushing the edit view controller, do something like:
NSArray* stack = navigationController.viewControllers;
navigationController.viewControllers = [stack arrayByAddingObject:rViewController];
[navigationController pushViewController:editController animated:YES];
(By the way, I would suggest not using names like "rView" except maybe for very short-lived local variables, like in a loop. Using descriptive names is very much part of the Cocoa idiom and will help you a lot in the long run.)
