I have got a IIViewDeckController set up to replicate the facebook app funcionaly
ViewController *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ViewController"];
EditSettingsViewController *evc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"EditSettingsViewController"];
IIViewDeckController* deckController = [[IIViewDeckController alloc] initWithCenterViewController:vc leftViewController:evc rightViewController:nil];
In order to switch, I have got a tableview that calls different methods.
When I switch the center controller to a new controller it crashes:
MyTableViewController *mvc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MyTableViewController"];
[self.viewDeckController setCenterController:mvc];
But when I do exactly the same to the initial center viewcontroller it doesn't crash.
I have also noticed, that when I reset all the content in the simulator I am able to switch once to the new controller without crashing.
It doesn't show any warning. Just the following:
Solved my issue.
In the initial Controller I was using the viewdeckDelegate and implementing a few methods.
When switching to the new viewcontroller, I wasn't defining the delegate when those methods where being called.

I'm not sure why but in Xcode 5 working on a project of IOS6.1 I have a button connected to a IBAction in which I'm trying to navigate to a new view controller.
I've tried two different codes to create the viewController and then push it to the navigation in both cases the view controller is not nil and both cases the viewController doesn't appear.
first try: with story Id - I've set the story id of the view controller to imageCapture and set the class to VSImageCaptureViewController
VSImageCaptureViewController* imageCaptureViewController = (VSImageCaptureViewController*)([self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"imageCapture"]);
[self presentViewController:imageCaptureViewController animated:NO completion:nil];
second try: with the name of the viewcontroller
VSImageCaptureViewController *imageCaptureViewController = [[VSImageCaptureViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VSImageCaptureViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:imageCaptureViewController animated:YES];
can you see something wrong or do you think I forgot to initialize something
Check to see if self.navigationController is nil.
If it is nil that means that you are not running within the context of a UINavigationController (the system sets this property for you when the UIViewController is added to a nav stack).
If this is the case then you have not properly set up a UINavigationController.
Note that you can not set the navigationController property yourself. The systems sets it for you when the UIViewController is added to a UINavigationController's stack (and sets it to nil when it is removed from the stack).
To set this up you will usually create a UINavigationController instance right after you create your main view controller.
UIViewController *mainViewController = ...;
UINavigationController *mainNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:mainViewController];
// now present the mainNavController instead of the mainViewController
If you are using storyboards you would drag out a UINavigationController instance and replace the default root view controller with an instance of your mainViewController.
I am using this code to hide a button in a different view controller, but the button does not get hidden when the button is pressed to hide the button in the other view controller.
This is the code I am using to hide the button in the other view controller:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
NSLog(#"Exited");
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[vc.mainbutton1 setHidden:YES];
Why is this not working?
Thanks!
take a BOOL variable in ViewController controller and make the property and synthesize also.
and do this.
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
vc.check = YES;
in the view controller viewdidload
write this
if(self.check)
[mainbutton1 set hidden:YES];
The other answers should work unless...
Judging by your code I am going to guess that you are trying to hide a button on the viewController that presented the modal view?
If this is correct then what you are doing will not work as you are creating a new instance of ViewController which is not the already existing viewController you want to use.
Although the docs say that it is fine to call [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; from the presented modal view I tend to set up a delegate to handle the dismissal like in Apple's utitliy app template.
The reason this isn't working is because even though you have alloc'd and init'd the ViewController properly, the actual elements of that vc ViewController (including mainbutton1) have not been loaded yet.
Hitman has the right idea (and I'm voting his idea up).
Either put in a BOOL property for setting mainButton1 to hidden when the view appears, or call your [mainButton1 setHidden: YES] right after you explicitly display the view (via animation or adding subviews or whatever).
From your question it sounds like you want to hide the button in an existing view controller, whereas in your code you are creating a new one
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[vc.mainbutton1 setHidden:YES];
Either the view controller which you observe is not the one you expect or the mainbutton1 outlet is not connected properly. You can check if the memory controller is the one you expect by logging its memory address.
NSLog(#"Hid button for view controller %p", vc);
And doing the same in the viewDidAppear callback of ViewController
NSLog(#"In viewDidAppear for view controller %p", self);
It seems you want a certain button to be hidden if something has been happening somewhere else.
You COULD, somewhat as a hack (but I don't mind that very much) control this with a variable on your AppDelegate for instance.
When the "something" is happening "somewhere else", do this:
MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[(MyAppDelegate *)UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
appDelegate.shouldHideThatOtherButtonLater = YES;
Then, when you create your new ViewController later on you could use this value to determine if your button should be visible or not like this:
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[(MyAppDelegate *)UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[vc.mainbutton1 setHidden: appDelegate.shouldHideThatOtherButtonLater ];
You will in this case have to prepare your AppDelegate for this by creating and synthesizing that shouldHideThatOtherButtonLater-property.
In my app I've added a label to a view, connected it to an outlet but nothing shows up when I first assign this outlet from another view controller and then call pushViewController to display it. Here's the code before pushing next view that display the label:
CustomViewController *vc = [[CustomViewController alloc] init];
vc.lbl_price.text = self.label_price.text; // lbl_price is defined as a property in CustomViewController and label_price is defined in current view controller
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc];
In the CustomViewController viewDidLoad method I added this instruction to see if it should work
NSLog(#"Price=%#",lbl_price); // it actually prints out what was previously assigned
But it doesn't show into the label!
Any idea why ?

Even if view controller is created its view hierarchy may not (and so all subviews will still be nil), for optimization reasons it may not be loaded until you try to actually access controller's view. You have two options to solve your problem:
Store all values in separate non-UI variables and assign them to UI components with controller is going to appear:
// Before push controller
vc.myPriceText = self.label_price.text;
// In controller's viewWillAppear:
self.lbl_price.text = self.myPriceText;
Make [vc view] call to force controller to load its view hierarchy:
CustomViewController *vc = [[CustomViewController alloc] init];
[vc view];
vc.lbl_price.text = self.label_price.text;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc];
I have a View application with a Single UIViewController. I then add a UITableViewController through the IB, and I am trying to display the UITableViewController through a button press in the UIViewController (my main view). My button press (IBAction) contains the following code through which I am trying to push my UITableViewController view and display it:
DataViewController *dataController = [[DataViewController alloc] initWithNibName: #"DataViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:dataController animated:YES];
[dataController release];
My DataViewController is not at all getting pushed into the stack and displayed,
Also I have checked that in the code above, self.navigationController=nil
Probably this is the source of the problem. If so, how to rectify it?
Please help.
UINavigationController *navCtrlr = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:yourfirstviewController];
[self.window setRootViewController:navCtrlr];
navCtrlr.delegate = self;
navCtrlr.navigationBarHidden = YES;
Create navigation controller in appdelegate.m then you can navigate to any uiviewcontroller
You need to actually create a UINavigationController. The navigationController property tells you whether your DataViewController is currently in a UINavigationController's hierarchy; if not (as in this case), the navigationController property returns nil.
In the app I am trying to build, I am trying to use the UIImageController but am running into a bit of a problem. I am not doing this in the ViewController class... Here's the code:
(IBAction) uploadBtn {
ipc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
ipc.delegate = self;
ipc.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:ipc animated:YES];'
Its giving me a warning with the last line, saying:
Method'- presentModalViewController:animated' not found
I am sure that if I used the ViewController class this would work but is there anything I can do/import that will let me do this in just a UIView class?
Again the app builds, but when I try to click the button it crashes
Thanks in advance!
You're crashing because only UIViewController has that method. You can only present one view controller off of another one.
Have a look at get UIView's viewcontroller (iphone). I think you should rethink your design if you need to access view controller from a UIView.
You could present it from the view's parent view controller:
[[ipc parentViewController] presentModalViewController:yourController animated:yourBool];
