Pushviewcontroller - objective-c

I have an tabbar but i want to switch to another view on a tap so i did
UIViewController *controller;
switch (item.tag) {
case 0:
NSLog(#"1");
controller = [[2012ViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller
animated:YES];
break;
But when i tap it it goes to 2012ViewController (the 'homepage') but a back button appears. But it needs to go to the 2012ViewController without showing the backbutton cause when i click on the back button on the 2012ViewController screens it's
2012ViewController > (back button) 'The screen where i tapped the back button' > (back button) 2012ViewController

If I understood correctly your problem you should simply call
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
This will pop your view controller from the navigation controller stack. This way you'll come back to the first view controller instead of pushing a new one.

Cannot have the father uiViewController with the back item?

I have seen this topic (iOS Storyboard Back Button) and more about this subject, but I still cannot have my back button appear on screen :
I have got 2 viewControllers, the two of them have a navigationController, the "father" controller has the button bar item set to "back" as a plain text, the second viewController appear well with a modal segue, or with "show detail (replace)" segue, but nothing appear on the navigation bar to come back... Would you know why?
Here is a capture :
Thanks
EDIT :
with a custom transition, and when presenting the controller via the navigator in the code, the back button is not here anymore... would someone know why?
When I comment out presentViewController:secondViewController, the back button is here, but the custom animation is not triggered anymore, there is the normal transition set in the storyboard.
Here is my method :
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
NSLog(#"segue descr %# : ", [[sender class] description] );
if ( [[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"second"] ){
//SecondViewController *secondViewController = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SecondViewController"];
SecondViewController *secondViewController = [segue destinationViewController];
secondViewController.transitioningDelegate = self;
[self.navigationController presentViewController:secondViewController
animated:YES
completion:nil];
Modal and show detail segues don't use a back button, because they are like independent views.
The idea is that those those views are only showing extra information or details about something and you can close them programmatically when you need to go back to the previous view.
A show or push segue will give you the back button in your navigation controller, because that segue is meant to be more like a sequence of views.
When you push a View Controller, you get the back button for "free" without having to write extra code. When you present a modal View Controller, you need to add your own way of dismissing the modal view. Since you have a Navigation Controller, your easiest route is probably to add a UIBarButtonItem to the navigation bar, and have that bar button call dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: in your UIViewController subclass.

Storyboard - Popping to a View Controller then Pushing Causes multiple pushes

In Objective C / iOS;
We have a process similar to this (set up in xcode storyboard);
Menu View Controller -> Enter in a code -> Process/Validate -> Present a Failed Code page
The (->) arrows signify a push segue setup in storyboard
When in failed state I want to pop to the Enter in a code view controller.
UIViewController *vc = nil;
NSUInteger index=0;
for (UIViewController *viewController in self.navigationController.viewControllers) {
if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[SomeViewController class]]) {
vc = viewController;
break;
}
index++;
}
if (vc) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void) {
[self.navigationController popToViewController:vc animated:YES];
});
return;
}
This pops me back to the VC I want to go to.
Except now when I press a submit on the Enter code page it does 3 or 4 more "pushes", when it should only be 1.
Do I need to unwind the segue? I tried emptying the navigational view controller stack, and I even tried ridding it of its last active view controller -- both of these return a blank or black window view frame.
Why would popping a view controller in the navigation stack affect the segues in my view controller to the point where whenever I try to do a push segue action it will try to push multiple view controllers onto the stack?
Turns out I had the following issue
Button press causes segue action in storyboard
I did the same segue action in code on the button, hence pushing multiple times
I have now solved this issue

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].

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];

Programmatically click the leftbarbutton (back-button) of a pushViewController of the navigationController

I want to click the back button in the navigationBar programmatically in my second view.
It's call it this way:
Archiv *archiv = [[Archiv alloc] initWithNibName:#"Archiv" bundle:nil];
archiv.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Archiv %#", [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:archiv animated:YES];
And now i'm in the Archiv.m and after a specific event i want to get back to the first controller (without clicking the back button) - instead i want to perform the click programmatically.
Is it possible for this case?
Helpful would be to know which method is called if i click on this button, so don't even have to perform the click.
yes you can
this will take you to your first view controller
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
