NewView showing in PopOver instead of newView - objective-c

I have the right view selected from my PopOver but instead of showing in Parent View it is showing in PopOverView.
Here are some screenshots:
After I select the Feedback option instead showing the view in my parentview which in my case is SecondViewController (grey background screen) it is showing in the PopOver itself.
For information I have Three VC's namely FirstViewController, SecondViewController and ThirdViewController each assigned to each TabBar item. I want to make SecondViewController as parent for the PopOver.
Here is my code where I create PopOver in my AppDelegate.m
- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
if([viewController isKindOfClass:[SecondViewController class]]){
NSInteger index = [[self tabBarController] selectedIndex];
CGRect buttonFrame = [[[[[self tabBarController] tabBar] subviews] objectAtIndex:index+1] frame];
PopOverViewController *popoverContentController = [[PopOverViewController alloc]init];
UINavigationController *navcon = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:popoverContentController];
popoverContentController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(250, 85);
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:navcon];
NSLog(#"X:%f Y:%f",buttonFrame.origin.x,buttonFrame.origin.y);
[popover presentPopoverFromRect:buttonFrame inView:self.tabBarController.tabBar permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown animated:YES];
}
}
And the code in my PopOverController.m where I am making a choice of which new view to show
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
sendFeedback *sendEmailViewController = [[sendFeedback alloc]initWithNibName:#"sendFeedback" bundle:nil];
downLoad *downloadFilelViewController = [[downLoad alloc]initWithNibName:#"downLoad" bundle:nil];
if (indexPath.row == 0)
[self.navigationController pushViewController:sendEmailViewController animated:YES];
else
[self.navigationController pushViewController:downloadFilelViewController animated:YES];
}
Can anyone let me know how I can make the reference to my parent view (SecondViewcontroller) so that the new view shows in my parent view rather than the popover view.
Thanks

You insert into popover UINavigationController and in didSelectRowAtIndexPath push newly created controller to existed stack (into popover UINavigationController), but not into tab bar.
In order to push newly created controller to second tab you need to assign second tab (now it is SecondViewController) to new UINavigationController and use exactly this navigation stack.
Code will look like this:
UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController*)[tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];
[navController pushViewController:downloadFilelViewController animated:YES];

slide out menu move to another view controller

I followed this great tutorial on a slide out menu using UIKit Dynamics, Slide Out Menu. The code has been slightly modified to reduce duplication of code. I'm handling the touch event in the MenuComponent Class. Now, I'm trying to move to another view controller when the item is selected. The menu is created in code so I can't use segue's.
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
[[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] setSelected:NO];
[self toggleMenu];
self.isMenuShown = NO;
if(indexPath.row == 0){
//move to the testViewController
}
How do you remove the current view and present a new one? My hierarchy is a navigation controller then my testViewController.
Edit: I did find this code which I tried, but my problem is the when the menu is present and I try to present the view I get an error:
testViewController *test = (testViewController*)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"testViewController"];
[self presentViewController:test animated:YES completion:nil];
Warning: Attempt to present <testViewController: 0x7c095470> on <MenuComponent: 0x7ae4ce50> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!
I was able to figure it out by creating a delegate for the MenuComponent and then pass the view like so:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController * test = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"test"] ;
[delegate didCallViewController:test];

What's the difference between the back button on UINavigationController and PopTopViewController?

I have a UINavigationController hierarchy, VC1 --> VC2.
VC1 has a table view that I need to reload when VC2 is done with its work, so VC1 has this code:
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[self tableView] reloadData];
}
VC2 is essentially working with the server to create a new table row in VC1. When the done button in VC2 is pressed, I call [navController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]. So here's what happens from the user's perspective:
Visit VC2, use it to create a new row for the table in VC1. Press done.
The hierarchy successfully navigates back to VC1, but the tableview does not reload and display the new row.
However, if I then nav forward to VC2, and immediately hit the navController back button, the table does reload and show the new row.
So why does [tableview reload] work on 3 but not 2? Thanks so much.

More code in response to answer mentioned below:
In App delegate:
CWLandingVC *lvc = [[CWLandingVC alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:lvc];
[[self window] setRootViewController:navController];
In VC0:
-(void)toSessionMgmtViewController
{
TSessionMgmtViewController *tsmvc = [[TSessionMgmtViewController alloc] init];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:tsmvc animated:YES];
}
In VC1:
- (IBAction)toCreateSessionView:(id)sender
{
TCreateSession *cs = [[TCreateSession alloc] init];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:cs animated:YES];
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[self tableView] reloadData];
}
In VC2:
Finishes working with server...
UINavigationController *navControler = [self navigationController];
[navControler popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Also, when VC2 is done working with the server, it updates a data store of TSessions called SessionListStore:
- (TSession *)addSession:(NSString *)code withName:(NSString *) name qs:(int)qs
{
TSession *s = [[TSession alloc] initWithName:name code:code numberQuestions:qs];
[_sessions setObject:s forKey:code];
return s;
}
where sessions is a NSNutatbleDictionary in SessionListStore.
Thanks so much in advance.
EDIT: The solution was to trigger the reloadData call from the completion block of Server call.
Please check this answer,
Popping ViewController doesn't call viewWillAppear when going back
Have you added navigation controller to your view controller or view controllers to your navigation controller?
Also, you can set the desired view controller as the delegate of your navigation controller and implement this method.
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated

how to display popover click on a tableview cell in ipad

i am using a TableView in my application where i want a Pop over View when i clicked on a tabel cell, all the content which is in table Cell should display in a pop over view so plz suggest me how to do??
i have some sample code below which is not working..so suggest with code i want all the content in the cell to displayed in the pop over view.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UIView *aView = [[UIView alloc] init];
UIPopoverController *popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
initWithContentViewController:aView];
popoverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 416);
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:cell.bounds inView:cell.contentView
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
The UIPopoverController class reference clearly states
To display a popover, create an instance of this class and present it
using one of the appropriate methods. When initializing an instance of
this class, you must provide the view controller that provides the
content for the popover. Popovers normally derive their size from the
view controller they present
Your popoverController should have a view controller and not a view.
YourViewController *aViewController = [[YourViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nibName bundle:nil];
UIPopoverController *popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
initWithContentViewController:aViewController];
Then you can present this pop over
Your code is fine, but
You should have UIViewController instead UIView.
you have to pass the view controller instead of view

Can't show a nagivationbar after hiding it

I have the following in the mainwindow.xib
Navigation Controller
List item
Tab bar controller
tabbar
firstViewController
SecondViewController
The entrypoint
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
navController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:tabBarController];
[window addSubview:navController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
and now in the first viewcontroller i'm writing
-(void)loadView
{
if(rootAppDelegate==nil)
rootAppDelegate=(tabbarAppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
listEmergencyItems= rootAppDelegate.listOfEmergencySectionItems;
self.rootAppDelegate.navController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
[super loadView];
}
and in the second viewcontroller i'm writing
- (void)loadView
{
if(rootAppDelegate==nil){
rootAppDelegate=(tabbarAppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
}
listHospitalsItems= self.rootAppDelegate.listOfHospitalsItems;
self.rootAppDelegate.navController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
[super loadView];
}
And on the runtime, when it first loads the first view, i see the navigationbar where i need to navigate into a detail view.
And when i press the second tab bar item, i go to the second view, and the navigation bar gets hidden.
But when i press back on the first tabbar item, i.e. returning to the first viewcontroller. the navigation bar remains hidden.
Any idea?
The navigation bar won't show in the second view because neither view was placed on the navigationcontroller's stack. you want to use something like this in the parent to present a child view instead of overriding loadView
ViewToPresentViewController *myVController = [[ViewToPresentViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewToPresentViewController"
bundle:nil];
myVController.property = someValue;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myVController
animated:YES];
[myVController release];
then, as i said previously, you can just use [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:animated:]

Accessing UITableViewController > UIView > UIView?

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
I have a setup a UITableViewController which consists of a number of cells, if you select one of these cells you are taken to a new viewController using pushViewController (see below)
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
NSLog(#"CELL__: You tapped the row ... %#", [list objectAtIndex:row]);
TestController *testController = [[TestController alloc] init];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:testController animated:YES];
[testController release];
}
If in the implementation for "TestController" I would like to refer back to [self navigationController] (or maybe to add yet another view) is there any way to do that. My problem is that I need to access [self navigationController] to push further views and I don't know how to do that from the bottom controller?
Does that make sense?
Gary
From within TestController you reference the same UINavigationController via [self navigationController] as well.
EDIT to elaborate after comment:
The navigationController property is a property of UIViewController. If the controller is contained within a UINavigationController then it's own navigationController property will be a reference to that container UINavigationController. The same applies for tabBarController and splitViewController.
