navigating from popup to popup in objective c - objective-c

I am working with Objective C using xcode and SUP 2.1.3 as backend.I am verymuch new to the technology.I have created a project with master detail as the design template.In that in the detail view I am using a popup to display some details.And also I have a button over there. When I click in this button I have to go to the next UIView in popup itself.
For that I have created two more UIViewControllers (viewController1 and viewController2).
And in detailview I have written the code for a popup like,
-(void)popupAgain
{
ViewController1 *viewController = [[ViewController1 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController1" bundle:nil];
viewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];
}
And I put a button over their in that popup, I am calling the next popupAgain funcion to get viewController2 like
-(IBAction)next:(id)sender
{
[self popupAgain];
}
-(void)popupAgain
{
ViewController2 *viewController_new = [[ViewController2 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController2" bundle:nil];
viewController_new.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController_new release];
}
Now the problem is when I click on the next button I have to dismiss the first popup and display the second.But I am not able to dissmiss the first one even if I am writing the code [self dissmissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; in the action for next button like,
-(IBAction)next:(id)sender
{
[self dissmissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self popupAgain];
}
Please anyone help me to solve this issue.Or do you have any other idea regarding this?I am very much new to the technology.Thank you very much for any help in advance.

Dismissing a Presented View Controller
When it comes time to dismiss a presented view controller, the preferred approach is to let the presenting view controller dismiss it. In other words, whenever possible, the same view controller that presented the view controller should also take responsibility for dismissing it. Although there are several techniques for notifying the presenting view controller that its presented view controller should be dismissed, the preferred technique is delegation. For more information, see “Using Delegation to Communicate with Other Controllers.”

iOS7 - popToRootViewControllerAnimated not doing anything

I have looked around but haven't found a satisfying answer. My problem is that whenever I call popToRootViewControllerAnimated:(BOOL) it is not doing anything. When I NSLog it, it logs (null).
Let me back up a bit here. I have a table view controller that has a list of things, at the navigation bar up top there is an option to add and that takes me to a new view controller with a segue "Present as PopOver" which gets rid of the principal or main navigation bar. So I made one manually and added 2 bar button items "Cancel" and "Add". When "Cancel" is tapped, it should take the user back to the table view controller and discard changes, when "Add" button is tapped, it should also take user back to the previous table view controller with the changes. But it's not doing anything.
Here is my code.
- (IBAction)cancelButton:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
UINavigationController * navigationController = self.navigationController;
NSLog(#"%#", navigationController);
NSLog(#"cancel tapped though");
ListingTableViewController *rootController = [[ListingTableViewController alloc] init];
[navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[navigationController pushViewController:rootController animated:YES];
}
As far as the segue, this view controller is not connected to anything, or should I connect it? This is a noobish question indeed. Here is my xcode screenshot.
Check this link for the screenshot of the storyboard

You must call
- (IBAction)cancelButton:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
NSLog(#"cancel tapped though");
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
instead of popToRootViewControllerAnimated because your VC presented and not pushed!
When presenting a view, you are not pushing it in your navigation controller, but having it presented. To dismiss it, try using [self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil].

presentViewController over TabBarController causes "attempt to present *VC on TabBarVC whose view is not in the window hierarchy"

My root view controller is a Tab Bar Controller loaded in the delegate. Each of the tabs is a table view controller. When the application is first loaded I want a login screen to popup via presentViewController, which I have in my viewDidLoad method of the Tab Bar Controller. It results in the window hierarchy error that I have read about - though none of the solutions have worked for me. I tried instead presenting the modal view in the viewDidLoad method of the first tab but this resulted in the same error.
In my tab bar view controller in viewDidLoad, my code is:
CLLoginViewController *loginVC = [[CLLoginViewController alloc] init];
loginVC.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:loginVC.view];
[self presentViewController:loginVC animated:NO completion:nil];
Your question is quite vague but what i have understood, You want to present a login screen before the tabController is loaded.
So a better way would be, In your AppDelegate when setting rootViewController of window, do something like this
if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:#"showTabBar"]){
self.window.rootViewController = tabBarControllerObject; //TabBarView is loaded
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:#"showTabBar"];
}
else{
self.window.rootViewController = tabBarControllerObject; //Login Screen is loaded for first time.
}
Hope this helps

What is best approach to add back button for first view controller in navigation controller?

I'm beginner iOS developer, so don't know how to solve my problem correctly. I have one navigation controller and want to make modal transition to another navigation controller that will have back button on it's first view controller.
In my first navigation controller I made this:
InfoViewController *destinatinViewController = [[InfoViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:destinatinViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
InfoViewController is UINavigationViewController.
Then I made this in InfoViewController (second navigation controller):
InfoRootViewController *rootViewController = [[InfoRootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoRootViewController" bundle:nil];
[self pushViewController:rootViewController animated:NO];
For now I know how to add button to go back, but it has not styling (certainly arrow). As I understand because it is only one view in stack of second navigation controller.
So, I need your help to add styled back button for first view controller of navigation controller, because I don't want to make own styling (I'm lazy).
Thanks, for any advance!
PS: I made modal transition because, it has animations like from bottom or top. I tried to use custom animations for pushViewController, but in iOS 7 they're working not correctly.
I'll let someone else help you with the back button issue because I think it's a mistake to create one for a modal view controller that's presented from the bottom of the screen. Typically, such a modal view controller is dismissed with a cancel button or its equivalent. If you really think that you need a back button then you should probably push the view controller onto the existing navigation stack instead of presenting it modally.
However, I am happy to show you how to properly alloc/init a navigation controller and then present it.
I don't know why you're subclassing UINavigationController, but I'm going to pretend that you don't need to (which is probably the case).
InfoRootViewController *rootViewController = [[InfoRootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"InfoRootViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];

viewController management programmatically

I have a problem about viewController. I created a program What is viewController based applicaiton. There is 4 button on mainViewController. I used this code for calling mainviewController
-(void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application{
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
Then click to any button on homePage , I go to the other viewController. This code for call another viewController belong
-(IBAction)clickCalendarButton{
calendarButton.selected=YES;
[calendarButton
setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"afvalkalender_pressed.png"] forState:(UIControlStateHighlighted+UIControlStateSelected)];
GarbageCalendar *garbageCalendar = [[GarbageCalendar alloc] initWithNibName:#"GarbageCalendar" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:garbageCalendar animated:YES];
}
And then I want to go home page from another viewController. But I didn' go home page viewController.
Create button on detail view controller, which calls something like this:
- (IBAction)goBack {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
If you want to keep your current UI design, based on modal view controllers, then I think you should ensure that your other view controllers have got a button that does the dismiss of the view. Say, e.g., a "Back" or "Done" button. When you click on that button, a delegate method is called that executes: [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Look also at this document for more info, section "Dismissing a Modal View Controller".
If you would like to consider alternative approaches to your UI, you could look into using a UINavigationController, which would make your life a little bit easier with navigating back from one controller to another.

How to switch page on iPhone?

HI, everyone,
I want to ask a question about the iPhone application. I am writing a program. The program will ask the user the enter some information and press enter, after that the program will process and get some information, then the program will display the tab page with 3 tabs.
However, I don't know how to switch the page after the user enter the information, I have write the following code.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
[window addSubview: tabBarController.view]; // add the tab page to the view controller
MyViewController *aViewController = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self setMyViewController:aViewController];
[aViewController release];
UIView *controllersView = [myViewController view];
[window addSubview:controllersView]; // add the first page to the windows in order to let the user enter info.
[controllersView release];
// Override point for customization after application launch
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
If I add the tabBarController first, the controllersView will not appear, if I change the seuqence, it don't know how to make the controllersView disappear to let the tabBarController appears.
And the process is done in the MyViewController.m. Can I
1) remove the controllersView in the MyViewController.m after I complete all the process and
2) display the tabBarController.view ?
Thank you very much.
You need to use a UINavigationController as the root view-controller for your window. You can then push the first UIViewController (MyViewController) on as the top view.
(void)pushViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
When its time for the tab view to appear push it onto the Navigation Controllers stack. To get back to your top view pop the ViewController off the stack
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
