I am using a Navigation Controller. On top of the AppDelegate window I added a view that contains a scrollview and toolbar that I want to be using throughout the app. They appear fine on all the view controllers that I am using in the navigation controller. Now I would like to be able to hide and show them from each view controller.
I can't figure out how that should work,
any suggestions?
I am not sure if I understand you correctly but if you just want to hide/show scrollbars in each viewcontroller just call:
myScrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
myScrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
in init, viewDidLoad or any custom method in your UIViewController subclasses.

In my iPhone project, I have a navigation view controller. In each view that is loaded by this controller, I am setting buttons in the UINavigationBar that are doing different things for each view.
However, I want to have the .rightBarButtonItem do exactly the same thing each time (namely, pop up a UIActionSheet). How can I centralize this code and not have to put it in every view controller?
I tried subclassing UINavigationController and setting the .rightBarButtonItem in this subclass' viewDidLoad. However, no button is displayed then. (But when I put the same code in a view controller loaded by the navigation controller, the button is displayed and works fine).
The code I am using to set the rightBarButtonItem is:
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = ...
Subclass all the UIViewControllers that are pushed onto that UINavigationController and add the same viewDidLoad code.
Im writing an application which the main view controller is a UIViewController. It has some icons in a grid and I want to dismiss (sliding down) this grid when one of the icons is clicked. This I've done already. The problem is: when the grid is dismisseed I want another View to come from the top of the screen. This view is in this same root view controller. But I want to display the content of other view controllers in this view. For example: I want this view to show a UINavigationController with a UITableView inside it, so the user can navigate through TableViews.
I'm doing this:
HorariosViewController *horarios = [[HorariosViewController alloc] init];
[vuashView addSubview:horarios.view];
HorariosViewController is a UINavigationViewController. It shows me only a blue NavigationBar and changes like self.navigationItem.title = #"Title" won't work.
Thanks!
You can show another view controller's views as subviews but their outlets and actions remain linked to their original view controller unless you write code to make new connections, so self.whatever shouldn't be expected to affect the other view controller's properties.
(Also, if HorariosViewController is a UINavigationController, it shouldn't be created as a UIViewController.)
One approach is to have the navigation controller already there, with the icon grid presented modally on top of it. (you can set the view up this way without animations, so the user doesn't see the navigation controller underneath).
Then, when it's time for the grid to go away, it can call dismissModalViewController on itself with animation.
In my app, I require the main page to contain a toolbar at the top of the view. This view has a tableView. So my application cannot have a NavigationController.
Problem
When I want to navigate to the other view on click of the tableview cell then I am using the "pushViewController:animated:" method but it doesnt seem to work.
I checked the connections in IB. They are fine.
How can I navigate between pages without navigation controller??
I do not want to use the modal view for other views.
Please Suggest some Method.
You can use an instance of UINavigationController without having it displayed and using it for navigation.
Load your first view controller with your instance of UINavigationController in your appDelegate implementation.
Like:
FirstScreenController *fsc=[[FirstScreenController alloc]initWithNibName:#"FirstScreenController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigation=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:fsc];
navigation.navigationBar.hidden=YES;
[window addSubview:navigation.view];
Here FirstScreenController can be your view controller having the toolbar and tableview.If you want to display another view on any click of the tableviewcell, call it this way.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondviewcontroller animated:NO];
I have created View based application, here i need to navigate between views when button pressed.
so in first view controller i have created action for button pressed.
-(IBAction)loadSecondView:(id)sender
{
SecondView *sView = [[SecondView alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondView" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:sView animated:YES];
[sView release];
}
this code is not working, anything i am missing,
i can do this by [self.view addSubview:sView]; but i need navigation effect.
Thanks in advance.
You can't just hook a UIView instance to a navigation controller, that's not how they work.
Take a look at the "Navigation-based Application" template in Xcode, to learn how navigation controllers work.
You can use view controllers while hiding the navigation bar:
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
You can then map UIButton instances to selectors that push or pop view controllers, while keeping the navigation bar hidden.
These button instances are subviews of the view controller's view property.
Hiding the navigation bar can help provide the illusion that you are not using a navigation controller, while giving you all the functionality of the navigation controller.
Alex is right, if you create just a "View Based Application" project, no UINavigationController was created so when you push something on it nothing happen, that's normal.
You have to create a UINavigationController and make you main view its rootViewController, then you can push on it a new viewController.
I have got a solution for this,
In View based application the appdelegate file creates object for, view controller and added that view to main window, to do our task, delete the controller in mainwindow.xib and add a UINavigation controller,and create a object to it, and connect outlet to it,and then add this navigation controller view as a sub view,
its work fine.
I have created an UITabView application. Each view selected from the bar is a seperate controller with own nib file. I switch between them succesfully.
In the first view I have two buttons (check out the screenshot). When clicking them I want to switch to another views which are the parts of the current view controller. I use:
[self presentModalViewController:anotherViewController animated:NO];
That switches the view, but hides the UITabBar. How to keep the bar on the screen after the switch?
P.S. Sorry for the blurred image. I am not allowed to share to much info.
Well I think you are misusing the modal view controller. For a problem like this I'll say you should put them in a view controller stack using UINavigationController. Instead of making each tab a UIViewController make it a UINavigationController, then you can push and pop view controllers on it, which still show the tab bar.
See http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UINavigationController_Class/Reference/Reference.html
use: tabBarController.selectedViewController = newViewController
edit: UINavigationController is not needed here.
