I have a UIViewController, I want to navigate from this view to my second view controller
SecondView *secondView=[[SecondView alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondView" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondView animated:YES];
[secondView release];
It doesn't work. It doesn't do anything and there is no error. What I'm missing?
SOLUTION
In Appdelegate file I've added a navigationcontroller.
UINavigationController *navCtrlr = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
[self.window setRootViewController:navCtrlr];
navCtrlr.delegate = self;
navCtrlr.navigationBarHidden = YES;
Is your view controller already inside a navigation controller otherwise it wont work. put an NSLog on self.navigationcontroller and see what it is printing

I am trying to navigate from one page to another on a button click in a facebook appliaction.
I am using
registerUser=[[RegisterPage alloc]initWithNibName:#"RegisterPage" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController :registerUser animated:YES];
for presenting the next view after getting response from facebook.
But it is not showing the next view. It works fine in all other places where I used to present other views.
Anyone have idea about this issue?
What exactly is 'self' here? Is it a viewcontroller? Or just a UIView?
I think this'll only work if self is a viewcontroller or some subclass of it.
My code to present a view controller is somewhat like yours (without a nib):
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[controller setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
And to present a navigation controller it's like this (without a nib):
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
[navController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
[navController release];
[controller release];
Sometimes simply copying someones code helps.
thanks for everyones reply.i have solved it after a long fight.i just dismissed the view before pesenting the next view and set dismissmodalviewcontrollerAnimated to NO.[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
nextview = [[LoginPage alloc]initWithNibName:#"LoginPage" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController: nextview animated:YES];hope this help someone like me
I want to push root view controller. Why doesn't this code work?
RootController *rootController = [[RootController alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootController animated:YES];
[rootController release];
I used addSubview like this before.
- (void)cancel {
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad { // this is root view controller
[super viewDidLoad];
UIBarButtonItem *cancelButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(cancel)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = cancelButton;
[cancelButton release];
}
RootController *rootController = [[RootController alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:rootController];
self.naviController = aNavigationController;
[aNavigationController release];
[rootController release];
[self.view addSubview:[naviController view]];
And I added cancel button in navigation bar to go back to previous view. It doesn't work.
So, I want to push instead of add.
You set the root controller in a UINavigationController using the
initWithRootViewController:
method. So, the way you are doing is correct. I would suggest you to inspect self.view and ensure that it is not nil.
EDIT: after your comment
You need to define a root view controller for your UINavigationController to work properly; from the UINavigationController reference:
Every navigation stack must have at least one view controller to act as the root.
So you cannot remove the root view controller. Possibly, to make things work as you like you should create an additional view controller to use as root view controller that you do not alter, then push your RootViewController on the navigation stack, then popping would work:
UIViewController *baseController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:baseController];
self.naviController = aNavigationController;
[aNavigationController release];
[baseController release];
[self.view addSubview:[naviController view]];
RootController *rootController = [[RootController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootController animated:YES];
[rootController release];
Notice that I first defined a simple UIViewController as root view controller, then pushed your controller on to it.
Once you do this, if you add the cancel button like you do, it will work popping the rootViewController from the navigation stack.
AFTER LAST COMMENT:
If I understand you right, when clicking on the cancel button, you want to get rid of the UINavigationController altogether.
In this case, use the following code for cancel:
- (void)cancel {
[self.navigationController.view removeFromSuperview];
}
If this guess is right, keep in mind that since you are not keeping any reference to the navigation controller, it will be deallocated and with it all the view controllers you instantiated.
If instead of removing the UINavigationController altogether, you would simpy hide the navigation bar, then after popping rootController, call:
setNavigationBarHidden:animated
I'm trying to use the pushViewController: animated: with a UIViewController. I have it housed in a UINavigationController with initWithRoot and it still doesn't work.
Here is my code? Am I doing something wrong?
CloudappSettingsViewController *cloud = [[CloudappSettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:cloud];
[self pushViewController:nav animated:YES];
[cloud release];
It always crashes when it gets up to the [self pushViewController:nav animated:YES];
Any ideas?
Thanks
is "self" a UINavigationController?
It seems you are trying to push the navigation controller, but that is backwards. You should present the navigation controller and push additional views to it.
So the UIView you are in should already be in the nav controller then you would push cloud into that.
If this is in your app delegate, just add the UINavigationController as a subview to your app's window. If you want to present the UINavigationController as a modal view controller then do this:
[self presentModalViewController:nav animated:YES];
It will crash definitely because you set the nib to nil.
CloudappSettingsViewController *cloud = [[CloudappSettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NibName goes here" bundle:nil];
Create a nib and assign it to your view controller.
I am working with push notifications. i am trying to create and push a DetailView in the navigationController when action button in notification is clicked. but navigationController is nil. how can i put that DetailView in the navigationController? I want to push RootViewController in the navigationController and then the DetailView. how can i do that?
in AppDelegate:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
RootViewController *controller = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
//getting warnings here.(Unused variable navigationController)
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
[controller doStuff];
[controller release];
}
in RootViewController:
-(void)doStuff{
[[self stories] removeAllObjects];
[self startParsing];
[self.tableView reloadData];
DetailViewController *detail = [[DetailViewController alloc] init];
//custom code
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detail animated:YES];
[detail release];
this is the code i m using right now. and plz notice that i have
[self.tableView reloadData];
Okay, now I am pretty sure I understand the issue. The problem is, you never manually set the navigationController property on a UIViewController. The navigationController property is nil if the view controller is not under a navigation controller and if it is, then the property points to it.
What you need to do, is when you display your root view controller, instead of directly displaying its view, add it to a navigation controller, then display the navigation controller's view. Like so:
RootViewController *controller = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
//Here you would display navigationController.view somehow
So, after you have your root view controller in a navigation controller, in a method in root view controller you can do this:
DetailViewController *detail = [[DetailViewController alloc] init];
//Do whatever you need to do to set values on the detail view controller
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detail animated:YES];
The key thing is this: you need to put the root view controller into a navigation controller before you can access a navigation controller from within root view controller.
If your nav controller is nil, it needs creating and then you place things into it.
Try this:
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
[navController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:NO]; // or YES
If you start out with no UINavigationController and want to display it with more than one view controller in its stack, after initing the navigation controller you can set the viewControllers property to an array with the various view controllers you want.
edit: some example code:
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1, viewController2, nil];
[navController setViewControllers:viewControllers animated:NO];
After doing that, your navigation controller will have viewController2 on top and viewController1 behind it.
Alternately, you could do it this way:
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController1];
[navController pushViewController:viewController2 animated:NO];
I am fairly new to iPhone. I have a peculiar problem. I am adding a view controller as a subView to the current view. And then I want to push a new view controller from it. The problem is when I try to do pushViewController, it is not responding.
For example, in CurrentViewController I have added NewViewController's view as subView
[self.view addSubView : NewViewController.view]
Now From NewViewController, on the click of a button I am doing the following :
SecondViewController *secondVC = [SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondVC animated:YES];
Here the secondVC doesn't get pushed to the stack.
If you have used view based application, You have to use this code.
SecondViewController *secondVC = [SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
// [self.navigationController pushViewController:secondVC animated:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:secondVC animated:YES];
If you want to use navigation controller in your appln. First you have to add navigation controller in your appln and then only will navigate the view.
Perhaps the problem is that method is called pushViewController not pushToViewController. Try
SecondViewController *secondVC = [SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondVC animated:YES];
// don't forget release here
[secondVC release];
