Navigate from a ViewController to another ViewController - iphone

I made a storyboard game. I set 3 lives and now i want when all the lives age gone to call another viewcontroller, like results viewcontroller to sow the score results. How am i supposed to do that? to call the other controller?

Try this code to Load your View controller:
YourViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"YourIdentifire"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

Trying to go from one view controller to another in a story board

I'm writting my first app using a storyboard. Before I had the following code to go from one view controller to another. But..this code needs a NibName. How would I do this going from screens created in a storyboard?
if (mDisplayCard==nil)
{
mDisplayCard = [[cDisplayCard alloc]
initWithNibName:#"cDisplayCard"
bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
}
// [ mDisplay SetUp];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: mDisplayCard animated:YES];
A line like the following will instantiate a new view controller from a storyboard:
UIViewController *newViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"<identifier-from-storyboard>"];
It is assumed that your current view controller was instantiated from the same storyboard, so that self.storyboard is not nil. For the view controller that you want to instantiate, you'll have to make sure that you set a storyboard ID for it, which is what you'll put in for the identifier.

Can I not 'pushModalViewController'?

I have a UIViewController class and a second which I want to push modally preferably. However I can't seem to call [self pushModalViewController:...], how come?
What requirements do I need to meet to be able to do so?
I am doing this and getting a black view pushed:
vc = [[ViewController alloc] init];
[vc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
I have made my view controller in my storyboard and given it a custom class. I am trying to present this view modally via this class as seen in my code.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
'push' and 'modal' don't belong together in the same thought. You can:
present a modal view controller, preferably using -presentViewController:animated:completion:, which is the modern replacement for -presentModalViewController:animated:
push a view controller onto the navigation stack, assuming that you're using a UINavigationController. To do that from a view controller, use:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:foo animated:YES];
You're actually looking for [self presentModalViewController:myViewController.view animated:YES]
How are you initing this viewcontroller. From the posted code, I assume it is being initialized to a blank view.
Maybe you can init it from a nibname or something?
vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NibName" bundle:nil];
[vc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
Also another thing to note, if this is a custom class and no nib file, is there any code in initWithCoder? How does the viewDidLoad looks like?

How can I manually switch between UIViewControllers in storyboard?

All I need is to view a UIView controller in same storyboard file manually with code. I use storyboard to make all forms and connections. My application starts in navigation controller, which provides me access to UIView (LoginViewController) and then it goes to tab bar controller, which provides 4 UIViews. According to every UIView I have .h and .m files. I know about segue method, it is simple, but I need manual method. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
I was trying to use this method for pushing view controller in IBAction:
[self.view pushViewController:LoginViewController animated:YES];
But it makes an error:
Unexpected interface name ‘LoginViewController’: expected expression
It took a lot of time to figure out what is wrong, but I had not succeed.
Here is my RollEnemyController.m file:
// RollEnemyController.m
#import "RollEnemyController.h"
#import "LoginViewController.h"
#implementation RollEnemyController;
#synthesize AttackButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)AttackButtonPressed:(id)sender {
LoginViewController* controller = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.view pushViewController:controller];
}
#end
And this is header file:
// RollEnemyController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface RollEnemyController : UIViewController
- (IBAction)RollButtonPressed:(id)sender;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *AttackButtonPressed;
#end
I'm guessing that you are using a UINavigationController. Then you can simply do like this:
LoginViewController *controller = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
Update:
If you are using a UIStoryboard, you can set the identifier of your new viewcontroller, and then push it onto your navigationController. To set the identifier, choose your view, open the Attributes Inspector, and set the identifier ("LoginIdentifier" in my example). Then you can do this:
LoginViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"LoginIdentifier"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
As a sidenote, I see that you are using capital characters for your methods. You should probably try to avoid that, and instead use lowered first-characters in your method names. And since you say you are learning Objective-C, you should check out this awesome thread here on SO: link.
Update 2:
Here is a zip file with a project showing how to do this. :-)
hello try to use this code
Storyboard put ID = "xxx * Name Desire"
mark use StoryboarID
UIStoryboard * storyboard = self.storyboard;
DetailViewController * detail = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: # "xxx * Name Desire"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: detail animated: YES];
In this statement:
[self.view pushViewController:LoginViewController animated:YES];
it seems you are trying to push a class. You should push an object, your actual controller:
LoginViewController* controller = [[LoginViewController alloc] init...];
[self.view pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
this will at least compile, and if all the rest is fine, also give you the second controller.
EDIT:
I missed one point. You are pushing the view controller on to a view. That makes no sense, you should push the controller on to the navigation controller:
<AppDelegate> *del = (AppDelegate*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
[del.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
This is true, at least, if you created your project from the Navigation-based template (which creates an application delegate with a reference to the navigation controller). Otherwise, please provide details about how you create the navigation controller.
You mentioned in a comment that you're using UIStoryboard. Are you aware of UIStoryboardSegue? All you have to do it control-drag from the button to the next view controller to establish a segue. Then you can choose the type of transition. Be aware that your view controllers need to be part of a UINavigationController in the storyboard to perform a "Push" animation.

presentmodalviewcontroller navigationcontroller

I am creating a Navigation based iPhone application.
In that I have called a UiViewController using presentModalViewController. After that, the ViewController becomes visible. From that ViewController I need to call another ViewController using the sample presentModalViewController. Is this possible or not?
What do you mean by "call another uiviewcontroller"? (It really helps if you can be more detailed in your question.) If you mean, "slide in another view controller", then:
MyNewViewController *myNewViewController = [[MyNewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyNewViewController" bundle:nil];
[navigationController pushViewController:myNewViewController animated:YES];
[myNewViewController release];
...where:
MyNewViewController is the new view controller class that you want to slide in (the above code assumes you have an XIB file for the view controller class).
navigationController points to the current navigation controller. You'll have to replace it with something like [self navigationController], depending where you are in the view hierarchy.
U might be using following line to present a view controller.
//assume name of viewController which u want to present is "myViewController"
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:YES]
If you want to push an other ViewController or present an other ViewController then u will need to replace above line with following lines.
//[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:YES];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES; //if u want to show navigation bar then remove this line
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
After using above code you can present or push other view controllers within presented view controller.
Hope it will solve your problem :)

iPhone: ViewController as a tab bar

Hey guys I need some help with this:
I have two view controllers, let's say:
FirstViewController (first) is inside a navigationviewcontroller
SecondViewController (second)
So in the first's viewDidLoad method I have this:
SecondViewController *second = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:...];
[self.addsubview:second.view];
I've done this cuz I want to make my custom tab bar with my custom buttons and colors.
I have this when I press one of the buttons of my custom "tab bar" (seconviewcontroller)
ConfiguracionViewController *conf = [[ConfiguracionViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ConfiguracionView" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:conf animated:YES];
[conf release];
but because the second view controller is not pushed or modal presented in the first view controller I can't acces the navigationController. I've tried also with this
[self.parentViewController.navigationController pushViewController:...];
But it didn't work either.
Please help me out, I need to learn how to do that and sorry for my bad english.
Best Regards,
Carlos Vargas
First, shouldn't you be adding the second view to the first view like this:
[self.view addSubview:second.view];
The property parentViewController will not work in this case since second is not part of a navigation hierarchy.
Instead, you can make your own property that references the "parent" view controller:
SecondViewController *second = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:...];
// set new property
second.parentVC = self;
[self.view addSubview:second.view];
In SecondViewController.h you need to declare the instance variable and property for "parentVC" and in SecondViewController.m you need to synthesize the property.
Then, you should be able to access the navigation controller and push a view controller from SecondViewController.m like this:
[self.parentVC.navigationController pushViewController:...];
