I have a View application with a Single UIViewController. I then add a UITableViewController through the IB, and I am trying to display the UITableViewController through a button press in the UIViewController (my main view). My button press (IBAction) contains the following code through which I am trying to push my UITableViewController view and display it:
DataViewController *dataController = [[DataViewController alloc] initWithNibName: #"DataViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:dataController animated:YES];
[dataController release];
My DataViewController is not at all getting pushed into the stack and displayed,
Also I have checked that in the code above, self.navigationController=nil
Probably this is the source of the problem. If so, how to rectify it?
Please help.
UINavigationController *navCtrlr = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:yourfirstviewController];
[self.window setRootViewController:navCtrlr];
navCtrlr.delegate = self;
navCtrlr.navigationBarHidden = YES;
Create navigation controller in appdelegate.m then you can navigate to any uiviewcontroller
You need to actually create a UINavigationController. The navigationController property tells you whether your DataViewController is currently in a UINavigationController's hierarchy; if not (as in this case), the navigationController property returns nil.

I'm not sure why but in Xcode 5 working on a project of IOS6.1 I have a button connected to a IBAction in which I'm trying to navigate to a new view controller.
I've tried two different codes to create the viewController and then push it to the navigation in both cases the view controller is not nil and both cases the viewController doesn't appear.
first try: with story Id - I've set the story id of the view controller to imageCapture and set the class to VSImageCaptureViewController
VSImageCaptureViewController* imageCaptureViewController = (VSImageCaptureViewController*)([self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"imageCapture"]);
[self presentViewController:imageCaptureViewController animated:NO completion:nil];
second try: with the name of the viewcontroller
VSImageCaptureViewController *imageCaptureViewController = [[VSImageCaptureViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VSImageCaptureViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:imageCaptureViewController animated:YES];
can you see something wrong or do you think I forgot to initialize something
Check to see if self.navigationController is nil.
If it is nil that means that you are not running within the context of a UINavigationController (the system sets this property for you when the UIViewController is added to a nav stack).
If this is the case then you have not properly set up a UINavigationController.
Note that you can not set the navigationController property yourself. The systems sets it for you when the UIViewController is added to a UINavigationController's stack (and sets it to nil when it is removed from the stack).
To set this up you will usually create a UINavigationController instance right after you create your main view controller.
UIViewController *mainViewController = ...;
UINavigationController *mainNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:mainViewController];
// now present the mainNavController instead of the mainViewController
If you are using storyboards you would drag out a UINavigationController instance and replace the default root view controller with an instance of your mainViewController.
My app currently has a UINavigationController and I'd like to push a UITabBarController at some point when a button is clicked. I am trying to create it on Interface Builder (as opposed to programatically).
All online tutorials show how to create a tab bar based app, which involves dragging a UITabBarController into the MainWindow.xib which is obviously not what I want.
What I did was create a UIViewController, and its nib file, dragged a UITabBarController. Now pushing that UIViewController to the navigation controller will show an empty view (its empty view). Removing the view in the view controller will crash the app. How can I tell the UIViewController to load a UITabBarController instead of its own view?
For those down-voting me: it would be decent to at least provide a comment. The question is not a poor question. The questions is asking for suggestions for how to use a UITabBarController in an unorthodox way. I tried most of the suggestions and they do not work. If you are down-voting, at least write a comment.
You can see this this may help you
Since this is how you want your app to be: - Navigation Controller - Root View Controller - Other View Controllers - Tab Bar Controller - First VC under tab - Second VC under tab - Third VC under tab - more view controllers
in your view controller where you want to pushViewController to UITabBarController use this
//create a UITabBarController object
UITabBarController *tabBarController=[[UITabBarController alloc]init];
//FirstViewController and SecondViewController are the view controllers you want on your UITabBarController (Number of view controllers can be according to your need)
FirstViewController *firstViewController=[[FirstViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
SecondViewController *secondViewController=[[SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
//adding view controllers to your tabBarController bundling them in an array
tabBarController.viewControllers=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstViewController,secondViewController, nil];
//navigating to the UITabBarController that you created
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tabBarController animated:YES];
This tutorial might help. It comes with an example code.
Hi just make both nav controller and tabBar Controller in app delegate.
Initially add navController to your root view..
[self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];
and whenever you want to add tab bar then remove navController and add tabBarController.
-(void)addTabBarController
{
AppDelegate *appdelegte =(AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
[[[appdelegte navigationController] view]removeFromSuperview];
[[appdelegte window]addSubview:[[appdelegte tabcontroller]view]];
[[appdelegte tabcontroller]setSelectedIndex:0];
}
If you get any problem then ask me again..
In YourView controller make IBOutlet of tabBarController
in .h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface YourView : UIViewController
{
IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
}
-(IBAction)loadTabBar:(id)sender;
#end
and in .m file
#import "YourView.h"
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#implementation YourView
-(IBAction)loadTabBar:(id)sender
{
FirstViewController *firstView = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
SecondViewController *secondView = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstView, secondView, nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tabBarController animated:YES];
}
#end
The tabBarController IBOutlet must be connected to the UITabBarController that on the .xib file. And that UITabBarController with two view controllers named FirstViewController, SecondViewController.
I remember doing something similar to this...
I had to create a custom UITableViewController to do this, if you are going to use UINavigationController to 'push' to it.
Doing it only in interface builder may be a bit tricky, it's been a while since I've been at it, I do recall it was a bit of a nightmare to get going correctly.
The problem was, as I believe I've mentioned somewhere, is that the XIB does not have a UIView connected to it. When the UIView is deleted in a XIB file and a UITabBarController is added, the view property of the XIB has to be connected to the UITabBarController's view. I connected it and it worked. That was the reason why I was getting a SIGTRAP.
take a uiview of tab bar controller means create an interface builder with tabs and add that tab bar uivew in your classes where ever u wanted the tab bar
for example take a tab bar uiview of 3 tabs in that uiview take the three buttons in the interface builder
for every navigation of that classu should add this uiview class
-(IBAction)firt_button_pressed:(id)sender
{
}
-(IBAction)second_button_pressed:(id)sender
{
}
I am using this code to hide a button in a different view controller, but the button does not get hidden when the button is pressed to hide the button in the other view controller.
This is the code I am using to hide the button in the other view controller:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
NSLog(#"Exited");
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[vc.mainbutton1 setHidden:YES];
Why is this not working?
Thanks!
take a BOOL variable in ViewController controller and make the property and synthesize also.
and do this.
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
vc.check = YES;
in the view controller viewdidload
write this
if(self.check)
[mainbutton1 set hidden:YES];
The other answers should work unless...
Judging by your code I am going to guess that you are trying to hide a button on the viewController that presented the modal view?
If this is correct then what you are doing will not work as you are creating a new instance of ViewController which is not the already existing viewController you want to use.
Although the docs say that it is fine to call [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; from the presented modal view I tend to set up a delegate to handle the dismissal like in Apple's utitliy app template.
The reason this isn't working is because even though you have alloc'd and init'd the ViewController properly, the actual elements of that vc ViewController (including mainbutton1) have not been loaded yet.
Hitman has the right idea (and I'm voting his idea up).
Either put in a BOOL property for setting mainButton1 to hidden when the view appears, or call your [mainButton1 setHidden: YES] right after you explicitly display the view (via animation or adding subviews or whatever).
From your question it sounds like you want to hide the button in an existing view controller, whereas in your code you are creating a new one
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[vc.mainbutton1 setHidden:YES];
Either the view controller which you observe is not the one you expect or the mainbutton1 outlet is not connected properly. You can check if the memory controller is the one you expect by logging its memory address.
NSLog(#"Hid button for view controller %p", vc);
And doing the same in the viewDidAppear callback of ViewController
NSLog(#"In viewDidAppear for view controller %p", self);
It seems you want a certain button to be hidden if something has been happening somewhere else.
You COULD, somewhat as a hack (but I don't mind that very much) control this with a variable on your AppDelegate for instance.
When the "something" is happening "somewhere else", do this:
MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[(MyAppDelegate *)UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
appDelegate.shouldHideThatOtherButtonLater = YES;
Then, when you create your new ViewController later on you could use this value to determine if your button should be visible or not like this:
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[(MyAppDelegate *)UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[vc.mainbutton1 setHidden: appDelegate.shouldHideThatOtherButtonLater ];
You will in this case have to prepare your AppDelegate for this by creating and synthesizing that shouldHideThatOtherButtonLater-property.
I am creating a Navigation based iPhone application.
In that I have called a UiViewController using presentModalViewController. After that, the ViewController becomes visible. From that ViewController I need to call another ViewController using the sample presentModalViewController. Is this possible or not?
What do you mean by "call another uiviewcontroller"? (It really helps if you can be more detailed in your question.) If you mean, "slide in another view controller", then:
MyNewViewController *myNewViewController = [[MyNewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyNewViewController" bundle:nil];
[navigationController pushViewController:myNewViewController animated:YES];
[myNewViewController release];
...where:
MyNewViewController is the new view controller class that you want to slide in (the above code assumes you have an XIB file for the view controller class).
navigationController points to the current navigation controller. You'll have to replace it with something like [self navigationController], depending where you are in the view hierarchy.
U might be using following line to present a view controller.
//assume name of viewController which u want to present is "myViewController"
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:YES]
If you want to push an other ViewController or present an other ViewController then u will need to replace above line with following lines.
//[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:YES];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES; //if u want to show navigation bar then remove this line
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
After using above code you can present or push other view controllers within presented view controller.
Hope it will solve your problem :)
i am making an application with login view. This is just simple UIViewController with one UIbutton on it.I have another UINavigatioController having UITableView as RootViewContoller with many table objects at each row.The problem is : how to switch from loginview to tableview.Also there should be no navigationcontroller on loginview..and if it is not possible then there should be a way to hide it on loginview.
For loginview i have login.xib which i load it during application startup.but after clicking UIButton on loginview it should go to TableViewController having NavigationController.Is it possible to load TableviewController with NavigationController from seperate nib.if it is then how would i set delegates and view outlets on that nib.?..
I m restless to get its reply..its my request 2 all progrmmers to get a look over it..though it seems bit easy but isn't..i m hanging it with more than 2 weeks..plz help this poor-guy!
-(IBAction)goToView2:(id)sender
{
MyTableViewController *tableView = [[MyTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyTableViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *mySocondView =[[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:tableView];
[self presentModalViewController: mySocondView animated:YES];
}
first u should set delegate to ur Navigation Controller . if you know how can set delegate . use this code to go to another view with UITableView and navigation controller :
-(IBAction)goToView2:(id)sender
{
UINavigationController *mySocondView =[[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:[[MyTableViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"MyTableViewController" bundle:nil]];
[self presentModalViewController: mySocondView animated:YES];
}
on your navigation view u can continue your project :)
