iOS 5 - navigation and tab bar not appear after presentModalViewController - iphone

i am developing an ios app and using storyboards generally. in my view controller named blackView (it has no xib file) there is a button to play video. that button goes to another view controller named videoViewController (videoViewController is not in storyboard it has xib file). after user clicks to done on the videoViewController user should return to the blackView and now all is work but after return to the blackView from videViewController the navigation bar and tab bar controllers of blackView not appear
how can i handle this? how can i get appear those navigation and tab bars on the blackView?
this is my code in my videoViewController.m file
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
UIViewController * myview=[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"blackView"];
[self presentModalViewController:myview animated:YES];
}

From your code i thing you are doing something wrong.
i need to ask one question to you that movieplayer in is presented od added as subview.
if you are presenting it then you need to do something like this in youe app.
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

iOS Storyboard in xcode 4.5

I have started an iOS app with storyboard. In my app, mainStoryBoard starts with navigation controller. From navigation's view controller, I pass the controller to a second viewcontroller with a push segue by programatically ([self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"currencyClick" sender:self]). On the second view controller I have a button. On button click I want to go back to navigation's viewcontroller like [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES] but here self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES is not working . In my project I unticked Shows navigation Bar in Navigationcontroller.
NavigationController-(root viewcontroller)-> viewController --(push segue with [self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"currencyClick" sender:self];)-->CurrencyViewcontroller
In currencyviewController I have a button. On button click I want to implement navigation back button click event. How do I implement a BACK Button programmatically, [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES] is not working in this case.
Please help me to solve this problem..
Thanks in advance
to call secondcontroller in your first view controller use:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"mainStoryBoard" bundle: nil];
SecondViewController *rvc = (SecondViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SecondViewControllerNameInYourStoryBoard"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rvc animated:YES ];
instead of self performSegue... Then in your second controller pop should work.

PresentModalViewController in Storyboard programmatically iOS 5

I am using storyboards for FIRST time in my iOS app. I have 2 views in my Storyboard (A & B). Lets say A is my initial view controller in my storyboard. When my app launched, I can see view controller A. So far everything is working as per expectation. Now in my view controller A, I am checking whether user is logged in or not. If user is not logged in then I want to present view controller B. How can I show B modally using PresentModalViewController programmatically?
Here is my set up
Here is my code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
if (!isUserLoggedIn) {
NSLog(#"USER NOT LOGGED IN....");
UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
LoginViewController *vc = (LoginViewController*)[mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"B"];
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
}
}
What you have done so far seems correct.. Did you remember to actually set the identifier of B in the storyboard?
Also, you might want to try
[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"B"];
instead of what you're doing.
Update:
Here's what the viewDidLoad method might look like:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
if (!isUserLoggedIn) {
NSLog(#"User is not logged in.");
LoginViewController *vc = (LoginViewController *)[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"B"];
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
}
}
Also, I see from the image that your first view controller isn't set to any particular class. It just says "View Controller", while the second one shows "Login View Controller" correctly.
Note: I don't have access to Xcode right now, so I haven't tested it yet.

iOS UInavigation bar to uitableviewcontroller not as rootviewcontroller in appdelegate

I'm loading a table view control by pressing a button in view controller
.The code in my Viewcontroller.m is
-(IBAction)go:(id)sender{
TableViewController *sec=[[TableViewController alloc]init];
sec.modalTransitionStyle=UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:sec animated:YES];
}
Now my table view controller loads..Now i need to add a navigation bar which have title and back button which loads view controller.I also want to know how to assign action to that back button where i can load view controller
I tried out in google which all makes tableviewcontroller as root view controller where in my app rootviewcontroller is view controller..Is there a way to add that in my xib or by programmatically.
Help pls..
You can do this:
-(IBAction)go:(id)sender{
TableViewController *sec=[[TableViewController alloc]init];
UINavgationController *nav = [[UINavgationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:sec];
nav.modalTransitionStyle=UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:nav animated:YES];
}

iPad App behavior: a navigationcontroller with a tabbarcontroller with more tabs

For the impatient:
I want to have a navigationcontroller who's root viewcontroller is a tabbarcontroller, similar to the iPad application. I am using IOS 5 and Storyboards.
For the reading inclined:
In my storyboard I have 6 tabs in a UITabBarController that is embeded in a UINavigationController, giving it a "More" button after 3 tabs are shown.
doing so gives me two navigation bars when more is pressed:
So I subclass TabBarController:
//#implentation MyTabController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.moreNavigationController.wantsFullScreenLayout = NO;
self.delegate = self;
}
- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
// hide nav bar if current controller is "More" controller
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden =
viewController == self.moreNavigationController;
}
Great, this gives me:
My guess was that i needed to relayout the views to account for the statusbar, so i try
[self.view setNeedsLayout:YES];
but i get an error saying UIView does not contain a selector for setNeedsLayout so...
How do I get the moreNavigationController.navigationBar to account for the statusbar?
Update:
I have a second related issue with this. When I hit the "Edit" button the edit controller shows modally. Its navigationbar displays underneath the insured controller (after an animation), and does not receive touches.
Pushing a tabBarController into a NavController isn't recommended, instead set a NavigatorController for every tabBar View controller, and set the TabBarController as the main window root view controller.
If you want to be able to show a screen before showing the tabbar, a solution is to push in all the navigator controllers the previous view controller, followed by the one you want to show (that way all navbars has the backbutton). Then set hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES to the first view controller, that way it won't show the tabBar.
Example Code:
UIViewController *prevc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
//prevc.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
//Do this for every VC that will be a tabBarItem
UIViewController *vc1 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nv1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:prevc];
[nv1 pushViewController:vc1 animated:NO];
//Remember to set the tabBarItem!
UITabBarController *tb = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
tb.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nv1, nv2, nv3, nil];
I just realized that setting hidesBottomBarWhenPushed to the previous ViewController won't work well, but If you show prevc first, and then push the following viewController, you won't have problems. But if anyway you wan't to hide the tab bar while doing a pop, please check this:
hidesBottomBarWhenPushed but when popped
I have also faced a similar problem. In my application also, there is a Tabarcontroller inside a Navigation controller. When i try to switch to a view controller in more navigation controller programatically (like : [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:X]; ) the same issues appears in my application. But the following code solves my problem.
self.tabBarController.moreNavigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;

iPhone: Show modal UITableViewController with Navigation bar

I am showing a modal view which is a UITableViewController class. For some reason it won't show the navigation bar when I show it. Here is my code:
SettingsCreateAccount *detailViewController = [[SettingsCreateAccount alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
detailViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
detailViewController.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
detailViewController = nil;
[detailViewController release];
I thought it was shown by default? If it helps, I am calling this from another class that is also a UITableViewController managed by a UINavigationController. Ideas?
When you present a modal view controller it does not use any existing navigation controllers or navigation bars. If all you want is to display a navigation bar, you need to add the navigation bar as a subview of your modal view and present it as you're doing.
If you want to present a modal view controller with navigation functionality, you need to present a modal navigation controller containing your detail view controller instead, like so:
SettingsCreateAccount *detailViewController = [[SettingsCreateAccount alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:detailViewController];
[detailViewController release];
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
[navController release];
Your modal controller will manage its own navigation stack.
Here is one way to display navigation bar for those who are using storyboards, suggested by Apple's Tutorial on Storyboard.
Because a modal view controller doesn’t get added to the navigation stack, it doesn’t get a navigation bar from the table view controller’s navigation controller. To give the view controller a navigation bar when presented modally, embed it in its own navigation controller.
In the outline view, select View Controller.
With the view controller selected, choose Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller.
On iOS 7 and you just want a navigation bar on your modal view controller to show a title and some buttons? Try this magic in your UITableViewController:
// in the .h
#property (strong) UINavigationBar* navigationBar;
//in the .m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationItem.title = #"Awesome";
self.navigationBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[self.view addSubview:_navigationBar];
[self.navigationBar pushNavigationItem:self.navigationItem animated:NO];
}
-(void)layoutNavigationBar{
self.navigationBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.tableView.contentOffset.y, self.tableView.frame.size.width, self.topLayoutGuide.length + 44);
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationBar.frame.size.height, 0, 0, 0);
}
-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
//no need to call super
[self layoutNavigationBar];
}
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
[self layoutNavigationBar];
}
I want to share how the accepted solution can be used in projects with storyboards:
The simple approach is to put in a storyboard blank navigation controller before the VC which is to be presented modally, so the relations look like:
(Presenter VC) -> presents modally -> (navigation controller having a controller to be presented as its root).
We've tried this approach for a while and noticed that our storyboards become "polluted" by a large number of such intermediate navigation controllers when each! of them is used exclusively for one! presentation of some other controller, that we want to be presented modally with navigation bar.
Our current solution is to encapsulate the code from accepted answer to a custom segue:
#import "ModalPresentationWithNavigationBarSegue.h"
#implementation ModalPresentationWithNavigationBarSegue
- (void)perform {
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.destinationViewController];
[self.sourceViewController presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
#end
Having this segue in our project we do not create intermediate navigation controllers in our storyboards anymore, we just use this ModalPresentationWithNavigationBarSegue like:
Presenter VC --> Presentee VC
I hope that this answer will be helpful to people who like to avoid unnecessary duplication in their apps storyboards.
I just wanted to add something to what #Scott said. His answer is definitely the easiest and most accepted way of doing it now with Storyboards, iOS 7 and 8... (and soon, 9).
Definitely adding a view controller to the Storyboard and Embedding it as described by #Scott is the right way to go.
Then, just add the segue by control-dragging from the source view controller to the target (the one you want to show modally), select "Present Modally" when the little view appears with the choices for the type of segue. Probably good to give it a name too (in the example below I use "presentMyModalViewController").
One thing that I needed that was missing is #Scott's case is when you want to actually pass on some data to that modally-presented view controller that is embedded in the navigation controller.
If you grab the segue.destinationViewController, it will be a UINavigationController, not the controller you embedded in the UINavigationController.
So, to get at the embedded view controller inside the navigation controller, here's what I did:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"presentMyModalViewController"]) {
// This could be collapsed, but it's a little easier to see
// what's going on written out this way.
// First get the destination view controller, which will be a UINavigationController
UINavigationController *nvc = (UINavigationController *)segue.destinationViewController;
// To get the view controller we're interested in, grab the navigation controller's "topViewController" property
MyModalViewController *vc = (EmailReceiptViewController *)[nvc topViewController];
// Now that we have the reference to our view controller, we can set its properties here:
vc.myAwesomeProperty = #"awesome!";
}
}
Hope this helps!
If you only need a NavigationBar, you can add an instance of UINavigationBar and assign BarItems to it.
