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 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'm having problem with accessing my tabbarcontroller in the storyboard when its not the initial view. So basically there is an initial view in the storyboard which leads to the tabbarcontroller. I want to change the color of the tab but i dont have access to it! I know that it can be added to the delegate if its the initial view but in this case its not the initial view in the storyboard! I read somewhere that I have to override a method in the first view but there was no detail about it!
If you are in a viewcontroller in the storyboard then this code:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = self.storyboard;
UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"OtherViewController"];
Will get the other viewcontroller youw want and you could do things such as:
set yourself as delegate for it:
[(OtherViewController *)vc setDelegate:self];
display it:
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
I think you could use this to get the other viewcontroller and then access the tabbar from it.
Sorry if I misunderstood what you are trying to do.
I know different versions of this question has been asked before but I'm really stuck here. I'm trying to get my app to push a new view from my app delegate when getting:
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)localNotif {
And I put the following code in there:
MyViewController *myViewController = [[MyViewController alloc]init];
nvcontrol = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
[nvcontrol.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
self.window.rootViewController = nvcontrol;
and from this, I get a black view (which myViewController should not have) with a black navigation bar.
What am I doing wrong here?
As I've outlined above, you can use storyboard to set the initial view controller.
Note that if you have a view controller set up in storyboard and then you create a view controller in the application delegate, the view controller you created won't look like your one in storyboard. This is because you are making an instance of the CLASS, but the program has no way to associate this with your layout.
I have made a very simple Navigation based app (UIViewController). The view has a single button on the Main RootViewController.
Next, I made 2 classes: TabOneViewController, TabTwoViewController. All good. I then created a new Class TabBarViewController. I opened up the NIB file and dropped on a ``UITabBarController onto it. The two tabs it creates in it by default were assigned (respectively) to my TabOne and TabTwo view controllers.
strong text
Then in my TabBarViewController, I made an IBOutlet for a UITabBarController, synthesized it etc etc. I linked it up in Interface builder via the "files owner".
In the RootViewController, I linked the button to my "pushView" method, and in this pushView method, I have the following code:
- (IBAction) pushView {
TabBarViewController *controller = [[TabBarViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
The end result is it DOES push a view, but I cannot see the tab bar at the bottom, let alone any of the pages I've added to the controller.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I link it in IB?
I am not 100% sure if that's allowed.. because you already have one tabBarController as rootViewController, and you dropped one more tabBarController as first tab controller, tabs ll overlap, considering amount of real estate you have on your iPhone, it make sense to not allow a tabViewController inside another
First, you need to allocate your view controller with your nib:
TabBarViewController *controller = [[TabBarViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourNibName" bundle:nil];
Secondly, in IB, click the UITabBarController and go to the identity inspector and make sure you select your custom class. That said, unless you are overriding or adding some functionality you probably don't need the custom class at all, simply use a UITabBarController directly:
UITabBarController *controller = [[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourNibName" bundle:nil];
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.
