I would like to add a storyboard inside existing UIViewController (something like iframe in html)
I have my MainViewController and I'm adding the storyboard view controller as a subview like this:
UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Search" bundle: [NSBundle mainBundle]];
SearchViewController *search = (SearchViewController *)[[sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SearchViewController"] visibleViewController];
[self addChildViewController:search];
[self.view addSubview:search.view];
Now my search.storyboard have 2 view controllers and they are embedded inside navigation controller.
Now when the search view is loaded the navigation controller is nil.. :\
How can I implement this solution with using the navigation controller? Thx.

I have a swrevealcontroller on my storyboard.I move to different view controller by passing selecting the view controller name in the table view.Now i am also showing a new table view when i tap on one of the item of tableview in swrevealcontroller.In select of new tableview item i want to show a new view controller which will not be part of the swrevealcontroller.But i am not able to show this.
I have tried this code but it does not show the back button when new view controller is shown.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *vc = (UINavigationController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DetailController"];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
Thanks in advance.
It's because presentViewController present a viewcontroller as a modal one. Secondly, even if you switch from presentViewController to pushviewcontroller an error will be thrown due to the fact that UINavigationController can not be pushed by another UINavigationController.
Hullo,
I would like to create a new target for a project without overcrowding the main view controller with #ifdef's. So I am thinking of splitting its functions with a weaker superclass and have the new target use the top one. How do I configure the new target to attach the top view controller to the view controller in the storyboard instead of the bottom one as in the old target?
You would have to invoke and set the view controller manually like so:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController.storyboard;
UIViewController *myViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"yourViewControllerIdentifier"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:myViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
I'm having trouble accessing my view controllers under the tab bar controller. Here is what my storyboard looks like:
View Controller A (-> Page View Controller -> View Controller C
View Controller A -> Tab Bar Controller (MyTabBarController.h/.m) -> Navigation Controller (MyNavigationController.h/.m)-> View Controller B (TabViewController.h/.m)
Tab Bar Controller (MyTabBarController.h/.m) -> View Controller D
Tab Bar Controller (MyTabBarController.h/.m) -> View Controller E
From View Controller A I have an IBAction called loginButton that is connected to the Tab Bar Controller, and currently it looks like this:
- (IBAction)loginButton:(id)sender {
MyNavigationController *localNavigationController;
UIStoryboard * storyboard = self.storyboard;
MyTabBarController *tbc = [[MyTabBarController alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *localControllersArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:1];
TabViewController *login = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: # "TabViewController"];
localNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:login];
localNavigationController.delegate = self;
[localControllersArray addObject:localNavigationController];
tbc.viewControllers = localControllersArray;
tbc.delegate = self;
tbc.moreNavigationController.delegate = self;
tbc.selectedIndex = 0;
[self presentViewController:tbc animated:YES completion:^{
}];
}
I'm not able to get this displayed correctly. I am getting a bunch of warnings in this piece of code. and it is also not showing the different tab items in the bottom of the Tab Bar, even though I have put images/text on each tab.
So how do I display/access the view controllers inside the Tab Bar Controller correctly? (ie View Controllers C/D/E)?
The storyboard that you show in your question already contains the tab bar controller, navigation controller, and login controller properly hooked up to each other. Because of that, you shouldn't be instantiating a new tab bar controller or navigation controller in code -- they will be instantiated by the storyboard when you instantiate the tab bar controller. So, the only thing you need to do, is to give the tab bar controller in the storyboard an identifier, and do this (assume the identifier is called MyTabBarController):
- (IBAction)loginButton:(id)sender {
UITabBarController *tbc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MyTabBarController"];
[self presentViewController:tbc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
You wouldn't even need this code if you control drag from the "Login" button to the tab bar controller, and choose "Modal". That will create a modal segue which will present the tab bar controller with no code at all.
If you just want to select another tab from the tabBar controller then use something like this:
UITabBarController *tabBar = (UITabBarController *)self.window.rootViewController;
[tabBar setSelectedIndex:3];
Note that if the tabBar controller is the initial view controller you can grab an instance of it it the applicationDidFinishLaunching method and store it in the AppDelegate. Then you'll be able to access it like this:
MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = (MyAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
Remember to import the AppDelegate.h
I recommand you to use a Singleton shared instance to share multiple informations form multiple controllers.
It's a good design Pattern for you usage.
I'm writing samples of Design Patterns usage on cocoa (see https://github.com/leverdeterre/DesignPatterns -> Real singleton)
i want to change display to an UIViewController which has view controller at storyboard from an UIViewController class which hasn't got view controller at storyboard. There is no segue at storyboard for this...
Just like this:
In your AppDelegate.m do a quick setup:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.
ViewController *sourceViewController = [[ViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController * nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:sourceViewController];
[self.window setRootViewController:nav];
return YES;
}
In above example replace ViewController class with your own class of sourceViewCntroller
- (IBAction) didPressMyButton {
NewViewController* newVC = [[[NewViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newVC animated:YES];
}
Connect this action to a button on storyboard or embed view change in any method. You will need to setup UINavigation controller first.
I'm not completely sure I understand what you're trying to do, but I think you are asking how to load a view controller from a storyboard, without using a segue, from a method in a view controller that wasn't loaded from the storyboard.
First, in your storyboard, select the view controller you want to load, and open the Identity Inspector. Set the Storyboard ID of the view controller. It looks like you want to load a MapViewController, so let's say you set the storyboard ID to map.
In your code, you can load the view controller like this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
MapViewController *mapViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"map"];
Once you have a reference to the view controller, you can set its properties or send it messages. You can then display it in whatever way you want - maybe by pushing it onto a navigation controller, or by presenting it, or by setting it as the root view controller of your window.
I have a chain in storyboard and I want to start (for example) second view when I have first launching app. I have some code, which only work in
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
method, if I put it in
- (void)viewDidLoad
method it's not work,
the code which show my other view is:
UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"someId"];
[vc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
How can I show view, which have place in chain in storyboard when app have first launching?
Try your code in
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated.
For further information on the iOS viewcontroller lifecycle head over to UIViewController class reference
If you are using a navigation controller, you can simply push the second view onto the navigation stack. If you are not using a navigation controller, then you could force a segue to the next view from the loading.
