I'm using a UIScrollView to display some images, and i need to present or push another view when the user selects one part of the image.This ScrollView is created only programmatically.
How i can programmatically add a navigationController to it and present another view?
I tried this way but just give me the following error :
Pushing a navigation controller is not supported'
StatesViewController * controller = [[StatesViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"StatesViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController * Navcontroller = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
[self presentModalViewController: Navcontroller animated: YES];
this might help you.
NextViewController *nextViewController=[[NextViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"NextViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navBar=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:nextViewController];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:navBar animated:YES];

I have an app that uses only xibs, no storyboards.
I have created a prompt xib that I would like to present modally (with the modal animation) from a table view controller xib (named TVC.xib) The TVC is nested in a navigation controller.
I can get the prompt to present itself, but I want it to present itself with a modal animation. Unfortunately, the presentModalViewController has been deprecated. What is the current option to present a view controller modally in code and have it animate the same way that modal presentations used to animate?
Here is my code: (in the TVC.m)
PromptViewController *promptVC = [[PromptViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PromptXib" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navVC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:promptVC];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:navVC animated:YES completion:^{
NSLog(#"presented prompt vc");
}];
Ideally I could replace the method in the 3rd line with self.navigationController presentMODALViewController... etc, but it's deprecated.
You are looking for:
[self presentViewController:aViewController animated:animated completion:^{}];
But you should browse some tutorials to update the knowledge.
I've figured it out. I needed to set the transition style and presentation style on the view controller that I wanted to show. Here is my solution:
PromptViewController *promptVC = [[PromptViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PromptXib" bundle:nil];
promptVC.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
promptVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
[self presentViewController:promptVC animated:YES completion:nil];
current version of my project :
I have 5 different UIViewControllers in my app. I've set my
FirstViewController to be the Initial View Controller using the
Attributes Inspector. I move back and forth from one ViewController to
another by using buttons to which I assign modal segues, from one
ViewController to another, using the StoryBoard
What I want to change:
I want to keep the navigation buttons obviously, delete the modal segues and use
a UINavigationController instead. If I understand the concept
correctly, when using a UINavigationController I need to go into each
UIButton-IBAction and at the very end of the method I have to push the next
ViewController I want to move to, onto my NavigationController (do I also
have to pop the current one first?). However, I can't figure out how
to implement all that correctly.
What I've done so far:
I removed all modal segues from the storyboard and kept the navigation buttons along with their corresponding IBActions
I unchecked the box in the Attributes Inspector that was making my FirstViewController the initial View Controller of my app
I went into my AppDelegate.m and tried to create the Navigation Controller there and make my FirstViewController be the RootViewController
MyAppDelegate.m
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UIViewController *myFirstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *myNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myFirstViewController];
[myNavigationController pushViewController:myFirstViewController animated:YES];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return YES;
}
I then tried to test if the above was working by going into the IBAction of a
navigation button on my FirstViewController and implemented the
following in order to move to my SecondViewController when the
button is pressed :
FirstViewController.m
- (IBAction)goRightButton:(UIButton *)sender
{
// some code drawing the ButtonIsPressed UIImageView on the current View Controller
UIViewController *mySecondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:mySecondViewController animated:YES];
}
but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong ?
You are not linking your XIB file. Please add your navigation controller as
UIViewController *myFirstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myFirstViewController];
Use following code to move from one view to another
UIViewController *mySecondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:mySecondViewController animated:YES];
If you are using a storyboard, you should just drag in the navigation controller there and hook it up to your app delegates. As long as it is the main storyboard, and you have identified a view controller to load first, you do not need to load any views in your app delegate.
In order to push a view programmatically that's in a storyboard, you need to do something like the following:
//bundle can be nil if in main bundle, which is default
UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
MyCustomViewController *customVC = (MyCustomViewController *)[mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"customVC"];
//standard way
[self.navigationController pushViewController:customVC animated:YES];
//custom animation
[UIView transitionWithView:self.navigationController.view duration:0.5 options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlUp animations:^{
[self.navigationController pushViewController:customVC animated:NO];
} completion:nil];
You identify the view controller with the identifier you add in the storyboard editor. Below are some screenshots to help show what I mean.
My main menu (a ViewController) is embedded in a NavigationController that I added in the storyboard in Xcode4.
I have a button in my menu, displaying a new view. To display it I use :
- (IBAction) display : (id) sender
{
if(!anotherView) anotherView = [[AnotherView alloc] initWithNibName:#"AnotherView" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:anotherView animated:NO];
}
My other view is correctly displayed with all its objects and elements. Excluding my NavigationController's bar, that doesn't appear. Why ?
Thanks for your advices
You are presenting the view modally what you probably meant was
[self.navigationController pushViewController:anotherView animated:YES]
of course what you really want to do is not mix and match storyboard and non storyboard flows unnecessarily like this and have the storyboard do this for you
you are presenting your viewController modally. If you want to use the navigation controller you have to push your view onto the navigation stack.
replace
[self presentModalViewController:anotherView animated:NO];
with
[self.navigationController pushViewController:anotherViewController animated:YES];
You can still present your view modally without losing the navigation bar. Try this code:
AnotherView *tempAnotherView = [[AnotherView alloc] initWithNibName:#"AnotherView" bundle:nil];
[self setAnotherView:tempAnotherView];
[tempAnotherView release];
UINavigationController *navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.anotherView] autorelease];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
Hope it helps! :)
I have a modal storyboard scene that I want to be accessible to all my other scenes. Creating a modal segue to it from every scene on my storyboard creates a big mess of strings going everywhere. Is there a way that I leave off the segues and call the scene programmatically instead?
Basically I want to do something like this:
MyNewViewController *myNewVC = [[MyNewViewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:myNewVC animated:YES];
except instead of creating and pushing a view controller class, I want to do a modal transition to an "isolated" (not connected with a segue) storyboard scene.
Yes you can. Do something like this to get access to the VC, then just Modal Push it:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
MyNewViewController *myVC = (MyNewViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myViewCont"];
Note: the method presentModalViewController:animated is deprecated in iOS 6.
The new code should read:
NSString * storyboardName = #"MainStoryboard_iPhone";
NSString * viewControllerID = #"ViewID";
UIStoryboard * storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle:nil];
MyViewController * controller = (MyViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:viewControllerID];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
In the storyboard give your view controller an identifier (under the Attributes Inspector) then use the following code to bring that view forward.
UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"STORYBOARDNAME" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"VIEWCONTROLLERIDENTIFIER"];
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
I have a case where I want to present a view controller from the main part of the app, one with settings & help & so on. To do this, I want it to be within a nav controller, sort of a little plug in module we can call from a UIBarButtonItem.
Now, this can be to/in the current storyboard, or to another, it doesn't matter.
I want to do it this way, because I loathe the potential of segue line spaghetti all over my storyboard.
Here's how to do it.
- (IBAction)displaySettings:(id)sender
{
LOG_SELECTOR() // google that for extra goodness
// FYI, this can be done using a different storyboard like so.
/*
NSString * storyboardName = #"MainStoryboard_iPhone"; // possibly use device idiom?
UIStoryboard * storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle:nil];
*/
// To push a new set of scenes with a new Navigation Controller, it is done like this:
UINavigationController *settingsNC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Settings Nav Controller"];
OBSettingsUIViewController *settingsVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Settings root"];
[settingsNC pushViewController:settingsVC animated:NO];
[settingsNC setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
// Present the view controller;
[self presentViewController:settingsNC animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
In the presented view controllers (or in a subclass of the Navigation Controller), you can have a UIBarButtonItem to then dismiss the whole presented hierarchy of view controllers like so:
- (IBAction)dismissThisVC:(id)sender {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Hope this helps a bunch of people out. Cheers.
Just call viewcontroller using navigation controller
Write this code in viewcontroller and set viewcontroller in storyboard as set in the image.
ProfileVC *vc = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ProfileVC"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
Call to navigate to other class
UIWindow *window = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:0];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle: nil];
UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)window.rootViewController;
DumpFeed *dump = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DumpFeed"];
dump.isPushed=YES;
dump.strUserId = appDelegate.strFriendid;
[navController pushViewController:dump animated:YES];
Heres a Swift version of this:
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let myVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("myStoryId")
self.presentViewController(myVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
You should also change your storyboard id like this:
I think that with iOS7 it has become very easy implementing via the storyboard
I'm currently learning about the new features in iOS7 and found this simple solution, but it might have been relevant even in prior versions, I'm not sure.
First u need to connect the presenting VC with the target VC (thats the only connection needed), then within the storyboard's attributes inspector choose the style to be modal, in the identity inspector give your VC a storyboardID and make sure you checked the 'use storyboardID' checkbox,
If its not there yet add this method to your presentingVC:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
YourTargetVC * targetVC =
(YourTargetVC *)segue.destinationViewController;
if(nil != targetVC) {
//Do preparations here
}
}
Now, when you wish to show your targetVC from your presentingVC you can use:
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:(NSString *) sender:(id)];
where the identifier is your viewController's storyboardID, and the sender is the view who triggered the action, this method will invoke the storyboards scene, so the [prepareForSegue: sender:] method will be called allowing u making last modifications before the targetViewController will appear.
In order to restore my iphone application to a paticular view controller, i am trying to push the view controllers one after another in the application delegate.
The order of the view controllers on the stack initially is :
1. Root View Controller
2. First View Controller
3. Second View Controller
What I want is that when my application launches, it should go directly to the Second view controller. For this I have written the following code :
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootViewController animated:NO];
FirstViewController *firstViewController=[[NSClassFromString(#"FirstViewController") alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:firstViewController animated:NO];
SecondViewController *secondViewController=[[NSClassFromString(#"SecondViewController") alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController animated:NO];
The problem is that when the Second view controller loads, its back button is named "Back" , instead of the title of the first view controller. I have not explicitly set a back button in the third view controller.
Regards
You should set the title of the UINvaigationItem for FirstViewController, which will be aditionally seen in the center of navigation bar.
