I have a tab-bar based app. When the app becomes active, I want it to go to the second tab bar (SecondViewController) and then, open DetailViewController.
Here's how I'm doing it:
AppDelegate.m
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
self.tabBarController.selectedViewController = [self.tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];
SecondViewController *secondView = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
[secondView openDetailView];
[secondView release];
}
SecondViewController.m
-(void)openDetailView{
NSLog(#"open detail view");
DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailViewController" bundle:nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
}
openDetailView() does run (as I see the nslog working), but the DetailView does not get pushed? I know the code works because I have identical code in an IBAction which DOES push the detailView. The problem has something to do with it being called from the AppDelegate (or switching tabs).
So why doesn't the view get pushed when I call it from the App Delegate? Any help is greatly appreciated.
You push detailViewController to the Navigation-Stack of secondView, but secondView is in nowhere.
Try this...
SecondViewController *secondView ...
[self.tabBarController pushViewController:secondView animated:YES]; <==
[secondView openDetailView];

I have a UITabBarController with 4 UINavigationControllers. I have implemented the didSelectViewController Delegate Method as follows:
-(void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {
if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]]) {
[(UINavigationController *)viewController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
}
}
It crashes when a NavigationController is at a 2nd Level after didSelectRowAtIndexPath pushes a new viewController onto the stack.
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Navigation logic may go here. Create and push another view controller.
RootViewController *detailViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
// ...
detailViewController.title = [self.temp objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
detailViewController.sort = self.title;
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
}
Of course the debugger with NSZombies enabled doesn't give any feedback.
However, if I add retain to detailViewController alloc;
RootViewController *detailViewController = [[[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil] retain];
It works, but leaks memory.
Any ideas what is wrong, how to fix, what is happening?
I have the similar scenario and i came up with following solution.
In my application i have login screen at launch and then I have UITabbarController with 4 UINavigationControllers.
I have created property of UINavigationController in AppDelegate.h file.
#property (strong, nonatomic) UINavigationController *navigationController;
Then
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//Override point for customization after application launch.
LoginViewController *loginViewController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
self.navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginViewController];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Now when you need to pop to RootViewController then use following code
#import "AppDelegate.h"
[((AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Hope this solves your problem.
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!
I am having problems with getting a detail view to load using pushViewController. At first, I thought pushViewController was not working. BUT, then I tried using a different view controller and it worked. I can tell from tracing that the problem view controller is never loaded at all. In other words, I tried to eliminate the possibility that there was some error in the view controller by NSLoging in that object and I never see anything.
Does anyone have any ideas?
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
/*
NSLog(#"hsitkjsdfkljlkd");
if (childController == nil)
childController = [[salesViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"salesView" bundle:nil];
//NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:childController
animated:YES];
*/
/*
//modal = blocking
salesViewController *otherVC = [[salesViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"salesView" bundle:nil];
//must set sale type
otherVC.strSaleType = #"Voice";
[self presentModalViewController: otherVC animated:YES];
//No close. By design, it is up to the otherVC to close itself
*/
//tipCalcViewController *detailViewController = [[tipCalcViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"tipCalcView" bundle:nil];
salesViewController *detailViewController = [[salesViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"salesView" bundle:nil];
// ...
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
}
Just Check the
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
}
of the salesViewController.
you are doing something wrong in this..
put the debugging point in the viewWillAppear and run it. you can get the error line..
just try it......Surely it will work for u...
salesViewController *detailViewController = [[salesViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"salesViewController" bundle:nil];
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[detailViewController release];
Also make sure you are giving the IBOutlet connection to UIView.
In my case I had several IBOutlets that I removed from the Header file and forgot to remove the connection to these non-existing outlets in Interface Builder. So removing the obsolete outlets fixed the problem in my case.
When you're pushing from ViewController1 to ViewController2 then the code will be used like this so try this code,
ViewController2 *vw2=[[ViewController2 alloc]initWithNibName:#"ViewController2" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vw2 animated:YES];
The Above code may be written on Click event of button or on didSelect delegate of UITableView
here's my code:
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"TableView" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
//[self setView:[vc view]];
If I call it, nothing happens. However, if I change it to:
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"TableView" bundle:nil];
//[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
[self setView:[vc view]];
The view appears just fine (without the transition, of course).
What am I doing wrong? Is there anything special you have to take care of when initializing the view controller? I tried to copy as much as possible from Apple's examples, but I can't get this to work...
Thanks for any input!

You can only present modal view controllers from controllers that have already been shown onscreen (usually through a UINavigationController or UITabBarController). Try creating a UINavigationController, pushing a viewController to it, and then presenting your modal controller. There's a starter project in Xcode that shows how to create a UINavigationController-based flow if you're unfamiliar with it.
One other thing to note: if you haven't pushed the view controller onto a UINavigationController, the .navigationController property will be nil, and messaging it will have no effect.
I encountered the same problem while attempting to show a modal view over another modal view. Ben's answer is correct, and can be implemented like so:
#interface FirstView: UIViewController {
UIViewController *firstView;
}
- (IBAction)showOptionsView:(id)sender;
#end
In the main view class:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
firstView = [[UIViewController alloc]init];
[firstView setView:self.view];
[firstView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
}
- (IBAction)showOptionsView:(id)sender {
OptionsView *optView = [[OptionsView alloc]initWithNibName:#"OptionsView" bundle:nil];
if(firstView != nil) {
[firstView presentModalViewController:optView animated:YES];
[optView release];
}
I have 2 XIBs with their corresponding View Controllers. Will call them MainViewController and AboutViewController. The names of the XIBs are exactly the same as the names of the ViewControllers. Upon a button click in the MainViewController, I want to show the AboutViewController.
I have code like this in the MainViewController:
- (IBAction) infoButtonAction:(id)sender {
AboutViewController *aboutViewController = [[AboutViewController alloc] init];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:aboutViewController animated:YES];
}
But nothing happens, the AboutViewController does not show up. I also tried this line:
AboutViewController *aboutViewController = [[AboutViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"AboutViewController" bundle:nil];
But to no avail. What am I missing?
Examine your AboutViewController.xib in Interface Builder and ensure that the File Owner is set to AboutViewController in the class inspector. Also ensure that the view property of the File Owner is wired into the View in the xib. Finally, the code to display it should read:
- (IBAction) infoButtonAction:(id)sender {
AboutViewController *aboutViewController = [[AboutViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"AboutViewController" bundle:nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:aboutViewController animated:YES];
[aboutViewController release];
}
Also, you should check that this is non-nil inside that same method:
UINavigationController * nc = self.navigationController;
do you get an error? Did you check that the button is correctly wired in IB?
did you try using a modal view controller?
