I have created a Tab Bar Controller in Swift, but the Tab Bar Item will not show up. The tab bar view controller is being opened from another view controller via a segue between the other view controller (not a UIButton, but directly from the view controller) and the tab bar view controller. I feel like this has something to do with it, but I am not sure. Here is an image of my storyboard in Xcode:
You need Two Segues Here From Your Very First Screen
Segue 1 : Navigate to Get Start Screen Where submit Button is connected on click of Get Started Button
Segue 2 : Navigate to TabBarController Directly on click of Go Directly Button
Segues From GetStarted Screen
Segue 1 : Navigate to Tab Bar Controller on click of Submit Button
Note
-> You had Connected a Segue From veryFirst Screen to GetStarted Screen Thats Correct
-> From GetStarted Screen you had connected a Segue to First TabBar Screen instead of TabBar controller
Expected Output
Navigate through Get Started Screen
Navigate Directly

Okay so I have one main view controller and then I added a navigation view controller from the 'Editor -> Embed In -> Navigation Controller' toolbar and then I segued from the first view controller button to the empty navigation controller scene because if I segued directly to the signup or signin VC the main view controller would end up having a bar on the top like the navigation view controller. But now i added an bar button item "Back" and segued to the main VC and the bar comes back with a builtin back button. So how can i add a default back button or any back button without having the main VC becoming a navigation view controller. Here is a link to an image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1623a45v846ijn8/Screen%20Shot%202015-09-27%20at%2012.23.26%20PM.png?dl=0
The problem is that you have two navigation controllers when you should only have one.
You should make your initial view controller a UINavigationController, and set your previous initial view controller as the root. If you don't want to see the bar, just set the bar to be hidden on your viewWillAppear, and unhide it on the Sign In / Sign Up pages.
I have been trying to properly setup a navigation bar in one of my View Controllers for an hour now and have not found any working solutions.
I control-clicked on a button on my app's initial view controller(1st VC) and dragged to another view controller(2nd VC) and selected "modal" as the action segue.
I then added a navigation bar item to my 2nd view controller.
When I run my app on my iPhone, I can tap on the button on my app's initial screen and it will take me to my 2nd VC, and the 2nd VC does display the navigation bar, but the navigation bar does not have the default iOS 7 back arrow to let me go back to the app's initial VC.
I was under the impression that this could be setup exactly like I did above and that the back button functionality would be included by default.
Am I completely lost? Do I need to further customize navigation bar programmatically or with a tick box in the attributes inspector? Is "modal" the wrong action segue option?
I basically just want to have navigation bars at the top of a couple of my VC's so that the user can easily get back to the app's initial screen.
Thanks for the help.
Since you are presenting your second screen (2nd VC) as MODAL from your first screen (1st VC), you will not see the back arrow button on navigation bar. Your understanding about back button works for Navigation view controllers (push segue). For MODAL you need to put a cancel button on second VC's Nav bar and put a dismiss action for that.
I have a tab bar controller.
From one of the views i want to goto another view via a button, which i have done.
Once on that page i want to go back using the navigation bar.
This is the problem.
How do i get it to go back to the tab bar controller page?
Thanks
Mat
You can arrange your view controllers as follows:
Tab bar controller
Navigation Controller
View Controller 1 - button to go View Controller 2 using segue
View Controller 2
So, View Controller 2 will have a back button to go to its previous view controller.
I have added an UITabBarController. My requirement is to display a view with tab bar controller. but that view is not part of the tab bar items. For example my tab bar contains 3 tabs
contacts
camera
history
Generally if we add tabbar controller contacts will be get selected and that view will be displayed automatically. but i don't want in that way...
i used [tabBarcontroller setSelectedViewController=nil];
i am able to get a tab bat with non of the tab get selected. but when i am trying to select a tab item it's not working.. I think i set the selectedViewController to nil. is there any other way to achieve my requirements...?
please explain your answer clearly.. i am new to iphone app development..
Present a view controller which is not a part of your tab bar controller and put a tab bar image/buttons at the bottom of it which resembles your tab bar. When you receive a button pressed message from within that view controller, show that tab on screen.
I have an issue with a tab bar app. I am making a tab bar app with three bars on the bottom. On my my first bar it is a tableviewcontroller. When i ckick on the table view controller it takes me to a different view (which doesn't have the tab bar). When I clicked back to the home screen (which has the tab) the tab bar is gone.If you need a picture i will post it!
You may have set your UITableViewController segue to a modal style. If this is the case, you should change it to a push style.
In order for a push to work, your view controller needs to be in a UINavigationController. In your story board, select your root view controller and embed it into a Navigation Controller like this...
