I have the following code:
MapViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "PlaceViewController.h"
#interface MapViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate> {
IBOutlet PlaceViewController *placeview;
}
- (IBAction)passPlace:(id)sender;
MapViewController.m
#synthesize placeview;
- (IBAction)passPlace:(id)sender{
self.placeview = [[[PlaceViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];
[self presentViewController:placeview animated:YES completion:nil];
}
PlaceViewController.h
#interface PlaceViewController : UIViewController{
}
- (IBAction)back:(id)sender;
#end
PlaceViewController.m
#implementation PlaceViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
NSLog(#"Change!!!!!");
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
And the storyboard:
http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/1233/screengy.png
I have no idea that what I'm doing wrong because when I change view, the PlaceViewController is a black screen with a blue status bar.
Anyone can help me? Thanks
if you are using storyboard... go into the Storyboard Editor and in the Attributes Inspector, set an Identifier, let say "PlaceMap" (in picture “AddPlayer”)
change your code:
- (IBAction)passPlace:(id)sender{
self.placeview = [[[PlaceViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];
[self presentViewController:placeview animated:YES completion:nil];
}
with
- (IBAction)passPlace:(id)sender{
PlaceViewController *newView = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"PlaceMap"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newView animated:YES];
}
You can check alos, a very nice tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/5138/beginning-storyboards-in-ios-5-part-1
UPD
that is for Navigation Controller
[self presentViewController:placeview animated:YES completion:nil];
if you want modal... can you use:
newView.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
//deprecated 6.0
// [self presentModalViewController:newView animated:YES];
//from 5.0
[self presentViewController:newView animated:YES completion:NULL];

I have two view controllers: view controller and viewcontroller2nd. I have UILabel in one of them and would like to change it when the button( named Go) in the viewcontroller2nd is clicked. I am using delegates and protocols to do it.
The code looks like this:
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "ViewController2nd.h"
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <SecondViewControllerDelegate>
{
IBOutlet UILabel *lbl;
ViewController2nd *secondview;
}
-(IBAction)passdata:(id)sender;
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "ViewController2nd.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(void) changeLabel:(NSString*)str{
lbl.text = str;
}
-(IBAction)passdata:(id)sender{
ViewController2nd *second = [[ViewController2nd alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:second animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
#end
Viewcontroller2nd.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol SecondViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>
#optional
-(void) changeLabel:(NSString*)str;
#end
#interface ViewController2nd : UIViewController{
IBOutlet UIButton *bttn;
id <SecondViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (retain) id delegate;
-(IBAction)bttnclicked;
-(IBAction)back:(id)sender;
#end
ViewController2nd.m
#import "ViewController2nd.h"
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController2nd ()
#end
#implementation ViewController2nd
#synthesize delegate;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(IBAction)bttnclicked{
[[self delegate] changeLabel:#"Hello"];
}
-(IBAction)back:(id)sender{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
#end
The passing of the control between the two views is working correctly. However, when i click the go button in the viewcontroller2nd, it doesn't change the value of the label to Hello. What is wrong with the code? Need some guidance.
It seems you never set the delegate.
You can do it in your passData method :
-(IBAction)passdata:(id)sender{
ViewController2nd *second = [[ViewController2nd alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
second.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:second animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
Hm, try the following in your changeLabel delegate method:
-(void) changeLabel:(NSString*)str{
lbl.text = str;
[lbl setNeedsDisplay];
}
EDIT:
Other than that:
Your label is a IBOutlet, right? Did you connect the label in your xib with the IBOutlet property (i.e. lbl) correctly in interface builder with the files owner
If you want to do this by using delegates then change passdata like:
-(IBAction)passdata:(id)sender
{
ViewController2nd *second = [[ViewController2nd alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[second setDelegate:self];
[self presentViewController:second animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
You can do this without delegates.
Just create a object of ViewController in secondView and synthesize it like:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController2nd : UIViewController
{
IBOutlet UIButton *bttn;
ViewController *parent;
}
#property (nonatomic, assign) ViewController *parent;
-(IBAction)bttnclicked;
-(IBAction)back:(id)sender;
#end
and in the passdata change it like
-(IBAction)passdata:(id)sender
{
ViewController2nd *second = [[ViewController2nd alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[second setParent:self];
[self presentViewController:second animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
and change the bttnclicked like:
-(IBAction)bttnclicked
{
[parent changeLabel:#"Hello"];
}
I wrote following for you!
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
#end
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "ViewController2.h"
#interface ViewController () <ViewController2Delegate>
#end
#implementation ViewController
-(void)passdata:(NSString *)data
{
self.label.text = data;
}
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
ViewController2 *v = [[ViewController2 alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController2" bundle:nil];
v.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:v animated:YES completion:nil];
}
#end
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#protocol ViewController2Delegate <NSObject>
- (void)passdata:(NSString*)data;
#end
#interface ViewController2 : UIViewController
#property(assign, nonatomic) id<ViewController2Delegate> delegate;
#end
#import "ViewController2.h"
#interface ViewController2 ()
#end
#implementation ViewController2
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
[self.delegate passdata:#"hello"];
}
- (IBAction)backButtonClicked:(id)sender {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
#end
You don't need to import the header "ViewController2nd.h" in the both ViewController.h and ViewController.m
You declare the UILabel without property like, #property (strong, nonatomic).
May be, You didn't properly map the UILabel to your .storyboard or .xib file.
You forget to assign the second view controller delegate while calling the controller
ViewController2nd *second = [[ViewController2nd alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
second.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:second animated:YES completion:NULL];
If anyone is using storyboard for viewcontrollers navigation.
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([segue.identifier hasPrefix:#"view_to_capture"]) {
ViewController2nd *destination = segue.destinationViewController;
destination.delegate = self;
}
}
In "FirstViewController" I declare a button which present the modal view "InfoViewController".

I would solve this issue with a delegate method.
First make a protocol in your modalViewController
#protocol ModalViewDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)didDismissModalView;
#end
And set a delegate property in the same modalVC:
id<ModalViewDelegate> dismissDelegate;
Then make a buttonActionMethod that calls the delegate in the modalVC:
- (void)methodCalledByButton:(id)sender
{
// Call the delegate to dismiss the modal view
[self.dismissDelegate didDismissModalView];
}
Now your modalVC is done you have to prepare the mainVC calling the modalVC:
You have to make your MainViewController comform to the delegate:
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <ModalViewDelegate>
At the place you alloc your ModalViewController you have to set the delegate property you made in your modalViewController:
self.myModalViewController.dismissDelegate = self;
Now the MainViewController listens to the delegate and the only thing you need to do is implement the delegateMethod.
-(void)didDismissModalView
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Now your ModalVC will dismiss on a buttonpress (at least when you call the method properly)
Hope this all makes sense.
Good luck.
You can only dismiss currently displayed modal view, so in your method infoDismissAction: you should do one of following
1) [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
2) Send to parent view controller message that current modal view should be dismissed and send reference to that view.
Second approach is better as it is more safe.
In your -infoDismissAction try to call [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Here the best sample code for the model view for iphone and ipad also.
The popups have a number of configurable items. They can be animated to either slide or popup onto the display. Once visible, they can be dismissed either by tapping the screen or after a programmed delay. The background and text colors can also be adjusted however you like.
Download the sample code from here.
The current answers are deprecated. Here is the updated code:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
On my iPhone app, I have two viewControllers (firstViewController, secondViewController), on firstViewController the user can select a photo from the camera roll and it then displays it in an imageView, however I need to also display it in secondViewController but have no idea how to.
Can you also please explain your answers in-depth as I am fairly new to objective-C
Here's my code:
firstViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIkit.h>
#interface firstViewController : UIViewController
<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
{
UIImageView *theImageView;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *theImageView;
-(IBAction)selectExistingPicture;
#end
firstViewController.m
#import "firstViewController.h"
#import "secondViewController.h"
#implementation firstViewController
#synthesize theImageView
-(IBAction) selectExistingPicture
{
if([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary])
{
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
}
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage : (UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo
{
theImageView.image = image;
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
-(void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *) picker
{
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
-(IBAction)switchSecondViewController {
SecondViewController *viewcontroller = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:viewcontroller animated:YES];
[viewcontroller release];
}
// Default Apple code
#end
There's not much in secondViewController so I won't bother posting that code.
Have a method in your second view controller of the type
-(void)setImage:(UIImage *)image
In the method below after you create a viewcontroller call the method with the image as shown
-(IBAction)switchSecondViewController {
SecondViewController *viewcontroller = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:viewcontroller animated:YES];
[viewcontroller setImage:theImageView.image]
[viewcontroller release];
}
You need to declare a property in second view so you can set the image from your first view some thing like this:
secondImageView is the property in secondView and you have to set it
-(IBAction)switchSecondViewController {
SecondViewController *viewcontroller = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
viewcontroller.secondImageView.image = firstViewImage;
[self presentModalViewController:viewcontroller animated:YES];
[viewcontroller release];
}
Could you tell me the best way to implement a Modal view so that it appears each time a certain tab is selected/pushed? Because the way I currently have my code results in all subsequent selections/pushes doing nothing.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface SecondViewController : UIViewController <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
{
UIImage *image;
IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
}
#end
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#implementation SecondViewController
- (void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
imageView.image = image;
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
...
#end

My Info button is showing up when I run my app but it doesn't do anything, no response when I click it.
In my ProfileViewController file:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
UIButton *infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoDark];
infoButton.frame = CGRectMake(290.0, 10.0, 15.0, 15.0);
[infoButton addTarget:self action:#selector(toggleCreditsOpen:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:infoButton];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
I also have the following two methods to load the about view (the screen that loads up when the button is clicked):
- (IBAction) toggleCreditsOpen:(id)inSender
{
UIViewController *theController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"AboutViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:theController animated:TRUE];
}
- (IBAction) toggleCreditsClosed:(id)inSender
{
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:TRUE];
}
EDIT:
I am adding my full implementation file here:
#import "ProfileViewController.h"
#import "AboutViewController.h"
#implementation ProfileViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)dealloc
{
[super dealloc];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
- (IBAction)toggleCreditsOpen:(id)inSender
{
UIViewController *theController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"AboutViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:theController animated:YES];
}
- (IBAction)toggleCreditsClosed:(id)inSender
{
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:TRUE];
}
#pragma mark - View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
UIButton *infoButton = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoDark] retain];
infoButton.frame = CGRectMake(290.0, 10.0, 15.0, 15.0);
//[infoButton addTarget:self action:#selector(toggleCreditsOpen:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[infoButton addTarget:self action:#selector(toggleCreditsOpen:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[self.view addSubview:infoButton];
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}
- (void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
#end
Using your provided code works for me, if self.navigationController is non-nil, and there exists an AboutViewController.xib in your main bundle. Otherwise, I don't see anything readily wrong.
If you don't have a navigation controller, the proper line in toggleCreditsOpen: would be:
[self presentModalViewController:theController animated:YES];
Edit:
If you want to dismiss the modal view later, its usually a good idea to do this with a delegate. Instead of
UIViewController *theController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithWhatever];
you can do
AboutViewController *theController = [[AboutViewController alloc] initWithWhatever];
where AboutViewController has a delegate. Probably something like id<DismissModalProtocol> delegate;. Then, your view controller would implement this #protocol, and before it calls presentModalViewController:animated:, it'll set itself as the delegate. So very roughly, it would look something like this:
// AboutViewController.h
#protocol DismissModalProtocol;
#interface AboutViewController : UIViewController {
id<DismissModalProtocol> delegate;
}
#property id<DismissModalProtocol> delegate;
#end
#protocol DismissModalProtocol <NSObject>
- (void)dismissController:(UIViewController *)viewController;
#end
// ProfileViewController.h
#import "AboutViewController.h"
#interface ProfileViewController : UIViewController <DismissModalProtocol>
#end
// ProfileViewController.m
#implementation ProfileViewController
- (void)dismissController:(UIViewController *)viewController {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)toggleCreditsOpen:(id)sender {
AboutViewController *controller = [[AboutViewController alloc] init];
controller.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
#end
I don't know at all why this isn't working, but if I were to take a guess, I'd say it's in the [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:theController animated:TRUE];
statement. From what I know, it should be:
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:theController animated:YES];
See if it works after you do that. I'm not sure, but that could be the problem with your code.
hi
you are took a mistake to define your button..
just assign retain property at the end of button
like
UIButton *infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoDark] retain];
and also give
[infoButton addTarget:self action:#selector(toggleCreditsOpen:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
