I have an UIViewController in that I have a navigation bar and a table, now I want to navigate from this view to another view on selection of the table row.
How can I do that?
First of all add the new UIViewController to your application by right clicking in files and groups section and Clicking "New File" option and name it SecondViewController.
Make sure you add an XIB by selecting "With XIB for user interface" option while creating the SecondViewController
Suppose you want to push the new view on button click then add a button to you FirstViewController and add the following code on its button's TouchUpInside event:
SecondViewController *secondView=[[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondView animated:YES];
[secondView release];
if you are using ARC then remove [secondView release];.
Let me know if you need more help.
Hope this helps.
FileName *file=[[FileName alloc] initWithNibName:#"FileName.xib" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:file animated:YES];
[file release];

I have this design in my storyboard:
As you see the middle ViewController is connected to a Navigation Controller ( I just made the navigation bar invisible). In this middle page I add all the controls programmatically ( using Parse mobile platform login wizard ).
The thing is I want to navigate to the third page, when Login is done successfully.
- (void)logInViewController:(PFLogInViewController *)logInController didLogInUser:(PFUser *)user {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
ViewController2 *viewController = [[[ViewController2 alloc] init] autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
printf("%s", [#"Ali" UTF8String]);
}
the message will be printed, but the navigation is failed. Can you help? Perhaps I need to fix something in storyboard.
I'm not sure you should be sending the dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: message. Are you presenting another view controller modally on top of your login view controller?
Anyway, when you have configured a view controller in a storyboard, you can't create the view controller using alloc and init. You need to ask the storyboard to create it. There are a couple of ways to do this.
One way
One way to get the storyboard to create your ViewController2 is to make a push segue in your storyboard.
Open your storyboard.
Control-drag from the login view controller to the ViewController2.
Choose the “push” segue type.
Click on the segue.
Choose View > Utilities > Show Attributes Inspector.
In the Attributes Inspector (right-hand side of the window), set the segue identifier to “didLogIn”.
To execute the segue, do this:
- (void)logInViewController:(PFLogInViewController *)logInController didLogInUser:(PFUser *)user {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"didLogIn" sender:self];
}
Another way
Another way to get the storyboard to create your ViewController2 is to give it a storyboard ID and ask the storyboard to instantiate the view controller by ID. Then you can push the view controller.
Before you can ask the storyboard to create it, you must give a “storyboard ID” to the ViewController2 instance in your storyboard.
Open your storyboard.
Select the ViewController2 instance.
Choose View > Utilities > Show Identity Inspector.
In the Identity Inspector (right-hand side of the window), enter “viewController2”. Case is important!
Then, in your code, ask the storyboard to instantiate viewController2:
- (void)logInViewController:(PFLogInViewController *)logInController didLogInUser:(PFUser *)user {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; // Should this be here?
ViewController2 *viewController = [[[ViewController2 alloc] init] autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
}
Try this way,
ViewController2 *myViewController=[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"TheNameOfYourController"]
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myViewController animated:YES];
Because a lot of relevant code/settings is missing I would suggest the following:
Use this code:
-(void)logInViewController:(PFLogInViewController *)logInController didLogInUser:(PFUser *)user {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
Class klass = [[NSBundle mainBundle] classNamed:#"ViewController2"];
ViewController2 *viewController = [[klass alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];
NSLog("%#", #"Ali");
}
If that doesn't work check how you suppose to initialize ViewController2.
If all this doesn't help please try to post more relevant code.
To move next viewController using Storyboard Identifier
nextViewController *objnextViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"nextViewControllerIdentifier"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: objnextViewController animated:YES];
Can anyone please give me some idea how can I open a new .xib from a UIButton? I meant that if I click on a button it will open a new window.
Link the button's touch up inside event to an IBAction method in your UIViewController subclass. In that method, instantiate a new UIViewController with your xib using:
YourViewControllerClass *vc= [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourXibName" bundle:nil];
Then if you have a nav controller you want to push it onto:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
[vc release];
NewTableController *newTableController=[[NewTableController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NewTableController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newTableController animated:YES];
I have an application where I need to have a "custom" setting page. In my delegate I add a UINavigationController's view to the window with a UIViewController as rootviewcontroller.
In the rootviewcontroller I want to have a button and when I press the button the whole view changes to the settingview that I made. I only need the code to change view.
Thanks for the help in advance.
If Settings View a UIView SubClass then In the Button Action method you can do something like this:
[self.view addChild: settingsView]; //provided that settingsView is already allocated.
If you have written down a separate UIViewController SubClass for Settings then you can do something like this in your Button Action Method:
SettingsViewController *controller=[[SettingsViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SettingsViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
I'm confused something fierce over having multiple views. I simply want to have a button on my main view that activates a new view, which in turn would have an (x) button which goes back to main view. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do this with two separate .xib files. How might this be done?
Thanks!
It might be easiest to just use the utility application as a template.
From there, you can see how you would load view controllers and nibs in order to bring up the new view followed by how you would exit it.
I actually solved it by doing it this way:
NewViewController *new = [[NewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NewViewController" bundle:nil];
new.delegate = self;
new.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:new animated:YES];
[new release];
You are using a navigation controller, right?
On the IBAction associated with a button tap on the main view, put
NewViewController *newView = ... // [alloc - init your view here if you haven't already]
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newView animated:YES];
And on the button on newView,
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]
In my app there is requirement that..I have 6 buttons in a nib,
when I press any button a new nib will be loaded into the window according to the button pressed. problem is after loading the new nib If I want to come back to the previous nib (which is having all the buttons) how to add navigation controller?
what I am doing now is while loading the new nib when I pressed the button
objNewViewController = [[NewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NewViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:objNewViewController animated:YES];
but by this way im not able to load the nib, it's not performing any operation?
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[NewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NewViewController" bundle:nil]];
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
And in NewViewController:
USe this to dismiss and get back to previous view.
[[self navigationController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
There is a template in Xcode for a navigation based app. It does everything you describe. Well, very close at least, only the AnotherViewController in -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: is commented out.
