Call method in viewDidAppear - iphone

I've set up a void method which is called from another class if the user touches the button.
However, I got this error with "whose view is not in window hierarchy" and then I found this: whose view is not in the window hierarchy. I just want to call the method below but I got this error and it doesn't show me the navigatoncontroller. It says Warning: Attempt to present <UINavigationController: 0xae34f10> on <ViewController: 0xae1f200> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!
I don't know if this is possible to call the method from the viewDidAppear or from somewhere that it only works if the button was tapped on the other view before. If I call a NSLog in the method it shows me the NSLog in the output. Only the presenting of the navController doesn't seems to work. I would be happy if someone could help me with this.
My method:
- (void) launchGalleryView
{
MWPhotoBrowser *browser = [[MWPhotoBrowser alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
// Set browser options.
browser.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
browser.displayActionButton = NO;
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:browser];
NSMutableArray *photos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
MWPhoto *photo;
photo = [MWPhoto photoWithFilePath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"calculator" ofType:#"jpg"]];
photo.caption = #"The calculator is soo beauteful...";
[photos addObject:photo];
self.photos = photos;
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
}
Just forgot to say: The MWPhotoprowser is a class which actually does't matter.
Thanks in advance.

The error message is pretty clear -- you're trying to present the controller from this class, but the class that has the button you pressed is the one whose view is in the view hierarchy. You either need to present it from the class with the button, or get back to this class however you're doing that, and then call it after viewDidAppear.

i checked your project.. wasn't able to sort out the proper issue..
but i tried a hack and it worked..
replace this line with
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
this
[[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window] rootViewController] presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

pushViewController don´t work on iOS 5 to launch GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch

I am developing an iPad application using sdk 5 and storyboard. I´m following the [OAuth2] Tutorial and sample.1
I have port the code to a Singleton. Create a new view everytime initSesion is called:
viewController = [[GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch alloc] initWithScope:scope
clientID:kMyClientID
clientSecret:kMyClientSecret
keychainItemName:kKeychainItemName
delegate:self
finishedSelector:#selector(viewController:finishedWithAuth:error:)];
//viewController.keychainItemAccessibility = kSecAttrAccessibleAlways;
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:#"en"
forKey:#"hl"];
//viewController.signIn.additionalAuthorizationParameters = params;
NSString *html = #"<html><body bgcolor=silver><div align=center>Loading sign-in page...</div></body></html>";
viewController.initialHTMLString = html;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:viewController
animated:YES];
But, when another Viewcontroller call the simgleton, the view pushed is not display.
Teorically, a navigator Controller use a stack to show differents view, so, if i´m in the correct way, that function must launch the GTMOAuth2ViewControllerTouch.view, to log in using OAuth2, thats occur in the sample. But nothing happen.
What´s going on? Thanks in advance.
Check if you have a navigation controller, it could be nil. Use debug mode or put a NSLog:
if(![self navigationController]){ NSLog(#"I´m Nil"); } else { ... }
If you have no created a navigationController, try use the singleton of the app to get it, something like:
[[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window] rootViewController] presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];

navigate from one page to another page onclick

I would like to know a method for navigating from one page to another page onclick .I
have tried
[self.navigationController
pushViewController:self
.objectNewlist
animated:YES];
but it is showing the error
Incompatible pointer types sending 'newlistplist *' to parameter of type 'UIViewController *'
my main class file is a subclass of UIViewController
and the second class is a subclass of UITableViewController
can any one help me out with this problem?
You can use
UIViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] initWithNibName:#"<name of xib>" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:yourViewController animated:YES];
[yourViewController release];
In case the new view is also to be created programmatically, you can do that in the viewDidLoad method of YourViewControllerClass and change the initialization to
UIViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] init];
In YourViewController when you wish to come back to previous view on some button action you can use
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Another way that you can do is
UIViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] init];
[self addSubview:[yourViewController view]];
and to remove the view you can use
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
-(void)onClickButton
{
ViewControllerClass *objViewControllerClass = [ViewControllerClass alloc] init] ;
[self presentModalViewController:objViewControllerClass animated:YES];
[objViewControllerClass release];
}
objViewControllerClass (object of another class)

How to use the navigation bar back button when using a viewbased app?

I have looked at several tutorials and different posts and can't seem to figure this out. I am simply trying to create a back button to take me back to a view where I was before. In the IB I create the button and link it to my backButton method. However, when I try to use it in the App I can't get it to work. Do I have to push it on the stack first? Any suggestions?
-(void)backButton:(id)sender{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Here is the code where I navigate from one view into another: Map is a view I use.
- (void) buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
UIButton *selectedButton = (UIButton *)sender;
int tempButtonTag = selectedButton.tag;
Map *map =[[Map alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
NSMutableString *tempID = [buttonIDArray objectAtIndex:tempButtonTag];
NSMutableString *tempType = [buttonTypeArray objectAtIndex:tempButtonTag];
[map setXmlID:tempID];
[map setXmlType:tempType];
buttonIDArray = nil;
buttonTypeArray = nil;
[buttonIDArray release];
[buttonTypeArray release];
[self presentModalViewController:map animated:YES];
}
The opposite of presentModalViewController is dismissModalViewController.
The opposite of pushViewController is popViewController.
You are mixing these up...

iphone presentModalViewController

I have an app, inside that an UIViewController is attached on the UIWindow.
on the view of UIViewController, i have added a button and a uiview_1 of size 100x80.
this uiview_1 contains another uiview_2 as subview of same size and this uiview_2 contains a UIImageView or a UIlable at runtime (both UIImageView and UIlable are userinteraction enabled)
now on the touch/click of UIImageView, i want to show a new view using presentModalViewController, the problem is the view is shown and using back button on the navigation bar i come to the previous/main screen.
here the problem come in picture, now i am unable to touch the button or the UIImageView.
both are not responding, but app is not crashed and nor frozen.
what is wrong in that?
Plz help in this...
----- EDIT:
Approach First:
SWVController *swvController = [[SWVController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *viewNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:swvController];
UIViewController *pushController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIWindow *win = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[win addSubview:pushController.view];
[pushController presentModalViewController:viewNavController animated:YES];
In the swvController i have back button that calls the dismissModelViewController on click >> result is the Main screen ctrls are not responding to touch – sandy 3 hours ago
Second approach:
SWVController *swvController = [[SWVController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *viewNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:swvController];
UIViewController *pushController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[self addSubview:pushController.view];
[pushController presentModalViewController:viewNavController animated:YES];
In the swvController i have back button that calls the dismissModelViewController on click >> result is the swvController's back button on navbar is not responding – sandy 3 hours ago
3rd approach:
SWVController *swvController = [[SWVController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *viewNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:swvController];
SampleAppAppDelegate *appdel = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]; [appdel.viewController presentModalViewController:viewNavController animated:YES];
>> result is working fine, but the problem is i dont want to use SampleAppAppDelegate,i want to give my small Uiview (100x80) as a ctrl to other person , where my ctrl will not able to get the AppDelegate of thet app at run time. – sandy 3 hours ago
Call this method when you want to present the modal view controller:
- (IBAction)showInfo {
FlipsideViewController *controller = [[FlipsideViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FlipsideView" bundle:nil];
controller.delegate = self;
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
Add this method to your self:
- (void)flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:(FlipsideViewController *)controller {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Use a toolbar or other button and connect it to this method in your modal view controller:
- (IBAction)done {
[self.delegate flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:self];
}
All code comes from Apple.
How did you handled click/touch on UIImageView? TouchesBegan/Ended?
Try putting some logs (NSLog) and run your app in debug mode (put some breakpoints) to see if control reaches your action method...
Also, when you do presentModalViewController, you do not need to POP out with back button on navigation bar... you only need to dismissModelViewController to hide it.

Weird UI problem when modal view is dismissed

As shown in the screenshot below, i have a UITableView with some info and upon selecting a row an ABUnknownPersonViewController is invoked. In order to be able to able to dismiss that and go back to the UITableView I have this code:
ABUnknownPersonViewController *unknownPersonView = [[[ABUnknownPersonViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
[unknownPersonView setUnknownPersonViewDelegate:self];
[unknownPersonView setDisplayedPerson:personRecord];
[unknownPersonView setAllowsAddingToAddressBook:YES];
UIBarButtonItem *anotherButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Επιστροφή" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self action:#selector(goBackToView)];
unknownPersonView.navigationItem.title = #"Προσθήκη στις επαφές";
unknownPersonView.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = anotherButton;
navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:unknownPersonView] autorelease];
//navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self] autorelease];
//self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = anotherButton;
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
} // didSelectRowAtIndexPath ends here
- (IBAction)goBackToView {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)unknownPersonViewController:(ABUnknownPersonViewController *)unknownPersonView didResolveToPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
// CallerIDAppDelegate *delegate = (CallerIDAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
The problem (as you can see) is that when the ABUnknownPersonViewController is dismissed by the "Επιστροφή" button, which is "Back" actually, the view holding the tableView and the blue UIButton is moved a couple of pixels to the bottom!
Any help on what could be causing this?

Debug this by checking your view's frame in -viewWillAppear, -viewDidAppear, -viewWillDisappear, and -viewDidDisappear.
Also check the view's autoresizingMask, and the parent view's autoresizesSubviews property.
I'm not sure I see the value of setting up a navigation controller here. You could just present the ABUnknownPersonViewController with [self presentModalViewController: unknownPersonView];. If you're doing it for the sake of picking up the visual navigation bar with the back button, then just add a nav bar and button to the unknown person view.
It seems like a mixed metaphor to be creating a UINavigationController but then not using its usual navigation methods (e.g., pushViewController:animated: and popViewControllerAnimated:) and instead using the modal methods inherited from UIViewController.
It seems that adding this line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
in my viewWillAppear: made the view not to move when the modal view controller is dismissed. However now the initial position was already slightly dislocated to the bottom but fixed it by moving all the outles in IB to the top so it looks ok.
