I've got a uitabbarcontroller set as the root view of the window. One of the tabs in the tabbar is set to a subclass of uitableviewcontroller. What I'm trying to do is show a details view when one of the rows is touched so I implemented
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (!detailViewController) {
detailViewController = [[ItemDetailViewController alloc] init];
}
[detailViewController setEditingArray:
[list objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]]];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
}
in my table controller, but when I select the row, my detailview doesn't pop in. I added nslog to see if the function fires - and it does, but my detailview still doesn't show. Any ideas?
Thanks.
The tableViewController should be placed inside a NavigationController.
I guess you created tableView inside a tab bar.
TableViewControllerSubclass* table = [[TableViewControllerSubclass alloc] init];
UINavigationController* tableNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:table];
mainController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
mainController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:tableNav,..., nil];
You don't have a navigation controller ([self navigationController] is returning nil). Instead of having the table view controller as the root of the tab, make the tab's root a navigation controller containing the table view controller. You will now be able to push the detail controller from the table view controller.

I have a class called CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController which displays a tableView.
Now, inside this class I wanna create a UINavigationController and set the root of the UINavigationController this class:
Here is what I did:
CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController.h
UINavigationController *navigationController;
in the implementation file
CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController *catalog =[[CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController alloc] init];
loadingView.hidden=YES;
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:catalog];
}
When I click on the table cell I do this:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
WebViewController *webViewController = [[WebViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:webViewController animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
}
But when I run and click on the tableView nothing happens...not view is showed up!!!Where am I going wrong?
IMPORTANT: I don't have a delegate file.Only CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController.h CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController.m and CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController.xib.
EDIT:
- (IBAction)showViewCataloguesEtTarifsPDF:(id)sender{
// Remove view to middleView
[mainMenuViewController removeViewsToMiddleView];
// create view controller
cataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController = [[CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController alloc] init];
cataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController.mainMenuViewController = mainMenuViewController;
// hide/show header button
[mainMenuViewController.headerViewController showMainMenuButton];
// highlight footer tabbar button
[mainMenuViewController.footerViewController.footerTabBar setSelectedItem:mainMenuViewController.footerViewController.footerTabBarItemMyAudi];
UINavigationController* navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:cataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController];
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
}
You should probably read this: http://www.iosdevnotes.com/2011/03/uinavigationcontroller-tutorial/

That'll give you the basics and you'll be well equipped to answer your question and fix your code :)
PS: You don't have to explicitly create and set a UINavigationController in your view controller. If the view controller is embedded within a navigation controller, the navigationController property of your view controller instance will automatically find it and return it.
What you're doing in viewDidLoad is wrong.
Wherever you are showing the CataloguesEtTarifsPDFViewController, you should wrap it in a UINavigationController there and show the UINavigationController instead.
This will make sure the navigationController property of UIViewController will be set.
In your tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method you should release the webViewController variable instead of the navigationController property.
In the app that io am creating, i have a custom copy of UISplitView Controller, MGSplitViewController. I have implemented it into my project which started off with the MultipleDetailViews sample code from apple.
I have come across a problem where i cant seem to switch between viewcontrollers. When i push the tableview cells, the detailview controller should change according the the nib assigned, however that doesn't happen.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
/*
Create and configure a new detail view controller appropriate for the selection.
*/
NSUInteger row = indexPath.row;
UIViewController *detailViewController = nil;
if (row == 0) {
FirstDetailViewController *newDetailViewController = [[FirstDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstDetailView" bundle:nil];
detailViewController = newDetailViewController;
}
if (row == 1) {
SecondDetailViewController *newDetailViewController = [[SecondDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondDetailView" bundle:nil];
detailViewController = newDetailViewController;
}
// Update the split view controller's view controllers array.
NSArray *viewControllers = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.navigationController, detailViewController, nil];
splitViewController.viewControllers = viewControllers;
[viewControllers release];
[detailViewController release];
Normally this code would be enough to change the views in the original Multiple Detail View code.
has anyone run into a similar problem? any ideas?
You're just creating new view controllers. You're not adding them anywhere. You add view controllers to the split view controller by using its viewControllers property.
EDIT: I've used MGSplitViewController, but I never tried to change the detail view like that. I just pushed the new detail view controller onto the navigation controller. Is there a specific reason for wanting to change the detail view controller entirely?
The other day I asked about using a UINavigationController as a child of a UIViewController. I got that working via the answer. Now what I'm trying to do is push a controller onto the nav stack. When a table cell is touched, I do the following:
- (void) showSetup {
NSLog(#"Showing Setup");
SetupViewController *controller = [[SetupViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SetupViewController" bundle:nil];
self.setupViewController = controller;
self.setupViewController.title = #"Setup";
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.setupViewController animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
I can see the log statement in my console, but the view never changes. Am I missing something?
Hmmm, well it's a bit tricky without knowing the details of your implementation -- I assumed that you implemented your navigation controller as in the linked article. Also although you give no details it sounds like you've added a table view controller somewhere along the line, so I made the UIViewController conform to the UITableView protocols to handle everything in one place:
#interface SOViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource > {
UINavigationController* navController;
}
- (IBAction) pushMe:(id)sender;
#end
I dropped a button on the SOViewController's view in IB and wired the pushMe: action to it. I also created another UIViewController-based class called JunkController and dropped a "Junk" label on it's view in IB -- that's all I did in IB. In the SOViewController's viewDidLoad:
navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] init] retain];
navController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
navController.toolbarHidden = YES;
UITableViewController* tvController = [[UITableViewController alloc] init];
UITableView* tv = [[UITableView alloc] init];
tvController.tableView = tv;
tv.delegate = self;
tv.dataSource = self;
[navController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObject:tvController]];
In the pushMe: action implementation:
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
Implemented the tableView delegate and datasource methods; for selection:
- (void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSLog(#"row selected");
JunkController* junk = [[JunkController alloc] initWithNibName:#"junkcontroller" bundle:nil];
[navController pushViewController:junk animated:YES];
[junk release];
}
This should yield an app that surfaces a screen with a "Push me" button. When that button is pressed you should get an animated modal navigation-based table view -- mine had one row in it that contained a label "select me". Touching this row should animate the junk controller into view.
There is no need to make setupViewController a declared property in this view controller. Also, I could be mistaken but I thought "controller" was a reserved name in Cocoa, I'd change that name. So make sure you have registered with the UITableViewDelegate and use - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath to hook into and push your new view controller as follows:
SetupViewController *detailViewController = [[SetupViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SetupViewController" bundle:nil];
detailViewController.title = #"Setup";
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
Goodluck!
Basically I add a subview to the main window. This subview has a search bar and a table view. The search bar works and it displays some data on the table view cells. Now when I click on a cell it should load another view with a navigation bar (w/ back button) and a table inside that view. How can this be done? I tried the following code and it doesn't work, it gives me an error saying - "'-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the "DetailViewController" nib but the view outlet was not set.'
I tried to set the outlet's in the DetailViewController.nib file but it just wouldn't let me.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[UITableViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"DetailViewController" bundle:nil]];
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
}
Basically you push the detail view controller onto the navigation controller.
I published a sample code
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
DetailContactViewController *detailViewController = [[DetailContactViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailContactView" bundle:nil];
detailViewController.contact = [contacts objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
// ...
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
}
First of all I know this is a long question. REST ASSURED I have tried to figure it out on my own (see: StackOverflow #2609318). This is driving me BATTY!
After trying and failing to implement my own EDIT feature in the standard moreNavigationController, I have decided to re-implement my own MORE feature.
I did the following:
Add a HOME view controller which I init with: initWithRootViewController
Add 3 other default tabs with:
ResortsListViewController *resortsListViewController;
resortsListViewController = [[ResortsListViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ResortsListView" bundle:nil];
resortsListViewController.title = [categoriesDictionary objectForKey:#"category_name"];
resortsListViewController.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"whatever.png"];
resortsListViewController.navigationItem.title=#"whatever title";
localNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:resortsListViewController];
localNavigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
[localControllersArray addObject:localNavigationController];
[localNavigationController release];
[resortsListViewController release];
Those work when i add them to the tabbar. (ie: click on them and it goes to the view controller)
Then I add my own MORE view controller to the tabbar:
MoreViewController *moreViewController;
moreViewController = [[MoreViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MoreView" bundle:nil];
moreViewController.title = #"More";
moreViewController.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"more.png"];
moreViewController.navigationItem.title=#"More Categories";
localNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:moreViewController];
localNavigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
[localControllersArray addObject:localNavigationController];
[localNavigationController release];
[moreViewController release];
Then
tabBarController.viewControllers = localControllersArray;
tabBarController.moreNavigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
tabBarController.customizableViewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nil];
tabBarController.delegate = self;
That creates the necessary linkages. Okay, so far all is well. I get a HOME tab, 3 category tabs and a customized MORE tab -- which all work.
in the MORE tab view controller I implement a simple table view that displays all the other tabs I have in rows. SINCE I want to be able to switch them in and out of the tabbar I created them JUST like i did the resortslistviewcontroller above (ie: as view controllers in an array). When I pull them out to display the title in the tableview (so the user can go to that "view") i simply do the following:
// [myGizmoClass CategoryArray] holds the array of view controller tab bar items that are NOT shown on the main screen.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
... etc...
UIViewController *Uivc = [[myGizmoClass plusCategoryArray] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [Uivc title];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
THIS is where it falls through:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
MyGizmoClass *myGizmoClass= [MyGizmoClass sharedManager];
UIViewController *tbi = [[myGizmoClass plusCategoryArray] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"%#\n",[[tbi navigationItem ]title]);
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tbi animated:YES];
}
This is the error i get ("ATMs" is the title for the clicked tableview cell) so i know the Uivc title is pulling the correct title and therefore the correct "objectatindex":
2010-04-09 11:25:48.222
MouseAddict[47485:207] ATMs 2010-04-09

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason:
'Pushing a navigation controller is
not supported'
BIG QUESTION: How do i make the associated VIEW of the UIViewController *tbi show and get pushed into view?
I am GUESSING that the UIViewController is the correct class for this tbl .. i am not sure. BUT i just wanna get the view so i can push it onto the stack.
Can someone plz help?
To answer kovpas's question below: myGizmoClass is a singleton (apple's singleton myGizmo class. The array of viewcontrollers is stored in that just like it is in [localControllersArray addObject:localNavigationController]; (in the first code snippet above). AND it does put it in and pull it out correctly as evidenced by the fact that when i NSLOG the [Uivc title] the log prints ATMs. This means the plusCategoryArray is correctly storing and retrieving the viewController (if, indeed, that is what is being stored).
Pushing a navigation controller is not supported is really bothering me. Why would a viewController return a navigationController and is it possible to coerce the navigationController to get the "pushable" view out of it... or does the navigationController have some element in it that is the view?
From the error, it looks as if your Gizmo class has an array of UINavigationControllers, not UIViewControllers. So instead push with:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:[[tbi viewControllers] lastObject] animated:YES];
If the array is the same array as you called localControllers above, then this should work better. Or you could just create the array without the UINavigationControllers, they aren't needed if you are going to push them onto your more controller navigation controller.
I'm not sure, but it looks like this error appears when you are trying to push UINavigationController into another UINavigationController. Could you please provide an implementation of MyGizmoClass?
