iPhone Loading Different Views - iphone

I have to xibs, and I want to load which one the user wants in the settings. I'm just working on actually loading them and how would this been done.
This is the function in the delegate which I think would be where this happens.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[self.window addSubview:viewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
This is the delegate header file.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class myAppViewController;
#interface myAppAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
myAppViewController *viewController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet myAppViewController *viewController;
#end
So lets say I have a xib created called modernTheme, how would I load that or the myAppViewController. If someone could do this in a generic if statement, that would be great.

This looks like your viewController is being created 'in Interface Builder'. Instead of that you could create the ViewControllers yourself and add them dynamically. Your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: could look something like this:
UIViewController *viewController;
if (showModernTheme) { // from your configuration
viewController = [[YourViewControllerA alloc] initWith…];
} else {
viewController = [[YourViewControllerB alloc] initWith…];
}
// assuming YourViewControllerA + B are inheriting from UIViewController
[self.window addSubview:viewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
Hope that helps

Request for member not a structure or union - iOS

I wanted to change the default view that loads up in MainWindows.xib. So I added a new instance variable for the class I want to add the view of here is the code in .h
#class Table;
#interface GameUIAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
Table *viewController; //changed the class
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet Table *viewController;
and then in the MainWidow.xib I changed the class name and xib on the UIView
in the .m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
// Add the view controller's view to the window and display.
[self.window addSubview:viewController.view]; //error here
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
what am I missing and please explain me why am I getting this error
You need to #import "Table.h" in your .m file.

UINavigationController not showing up when running build

EDIT: Working, see code below.
Working on an application, where right now I have the AppDelegate class, and a custom UINavigationController class. The code i have right now is pretty simple, and I feel like I've setup the XIB correctly. The build succeeds with no errors. But when the app launches, the navigationcontroller isnt displayed. I do not see the nav bar nor the table view. All I see is a blank screen. Here's the bulk of my code:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

UINavigationController *navigationController;
RootViewController *rootViewController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navigationController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) RootViewController *rootViewController;
#end

#import "FTPPhotosAppDelegate.h"
#implementation FTPPhotosAppDelegate
#synthesize window=_window;
#synthesize navigationController, rootViewController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:rootViewController animated:NO];
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
#interface RootViewController : UITableViewController<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate> {
NSMutableArray *photos;
UIImagePickerController *picker;
UIBarButtonItem *addPhotoButton;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *photos;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIImagePickerController *picker;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *addPhotoButton;
- (void) loadPhotos;
- (IBAction) addPhoto;
- (UIImage*)imageWithImage:(UIImage*)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize;
#end
#import "RootViewController.h"
#implementation RootViewController
#synthesize photos, picker, addPhotoButton;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.photos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:50];
[self loadPhotos];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the XIB,
.
Let me know if you need more info.
Instead of a root View controller, make it a UINavigationController *navigationController.
then in the applicationDidFinishLaunching, say
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
FirstViewController *firstView = [FirstViewController alloc]init];
[self pushViewController:firstView animated:NO];
firstView.title = #"TITLE";
[self addSubview:navigationController.view];
EDIT: some example code i have in an app of mine
AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface DragonAge2AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UINavigationController *navigationController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#end
AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
TitleClass *titlePage = [[TitleClass alloc]init];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
titlePage.title = #"Dragon Age 2";
[navigationController pushViewController:titlePage animated:NO];
[titlePage release];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
You need to check some points:
Is the code in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: executed when you run the application? Add a NSLog(#"app launched") in this code or set a breakpoint in it to check it. If it is not called, your FTPPhotosAppDelegate object is probably not set as the delegate of your UIApplication singleton in the XIB (this connection should be done by default if you created your app using a standard template, but it's worth checking)
Is the navigationController IBOutlet of your AppDelegate properly connected to your actual UINavigationController in the XIB? Check (using an NSLog or a breakpoint) that it is not nil.
Same for the view IBOutlet of the UINavigationController object in your XIB: check that it is properly connected and not nil.

problem in UINavigation controller

hi to all
i am trying to do a simple navigation based application.this is my code
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class RootViewController;
#interface jeeAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UINavigationController *navigationController;
RootViewController *viewcontroller;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet RootViewController *viewcontroller;
#end
.m file
#import "jeeAppDelegate.h"
#import "RootViewController.h"
#implementation jeeAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize navigationController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
navigationController=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller];
[self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
For this code i got "Application tried to push a nil view controller on target <UINavigationController: 0x4b4f5c0>." thanks in advance..
This is fairly simple - at no point have you initialised the view controller that you're attempting to push onto the navigation stack.
i.e.: Before you call..
navigationController=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller];
...you need to ensure that viewcontroller actually exists, in the sense that you need to alloc and init it.
For example:
// Create our main menu view controller
MainMenuViewController *mainMenuVC = [[MainMenuViewController alloc] init];
// Create our navigational controller and init it with the main menu view controller
navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:mainMenuVC];
[mainMenuVC release];
In the above mainMenuVC is a custom view controller that I've created.
Also, please note that once you've added your view controller to the navigation controller, you can release it as the navigation controller with retain it.

iPhone navigationController is not displayed

I have a very strange behaviour of my navigation view. What I want is, that from my main view, the user can touch a button, which leads him to the view with the application settings.
Here is the code, responsible for the navigation:
AppDelegate.h
#interface AppDelegate : NSObject {
UIWindow *window;
ViewController *viewController; // My Main View Controller
UINavigationController *navigationController; }
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet ViewController *viewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;
AppDelegate.m
#synthesize viewController;
#synthesize window;
#synthesize navigationController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[window addSubview:viewController.view];
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
viewController.h
#import
#import "optionsViewController.h" // the 'settings' view controller
#class AppDelegate;
#interface ViewController : UIViewController {
AppDelegate *appDelegate;
viewController.m
- (IBAction)showOptionsViewController:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
// optionsController.theSubjectID = self.theSubjectID;
// [self presentModalViewController:self.optionsController animated:YES];
optionsViewController *optionsController= [[optionsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"optionsViewController" bundle:nil];
optionsController.theSubjectID = self.theSubjectID;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:optionsController animated:YES];
[optionsController release];
}
My optionsController is a 'normal' UIViewController. As you see did I change the load of the optionsController from modal to navigation. Could it be, that I missed something here?
Thanks for any hints in advance.
Cheers, René
Have you connected it up in Interface Builder if not you need to alloc/init it before you add it as a subview?

App Crashes Loading View Controllers

I have the following code in my AppDelegate.h file:
#class mainViewController;
#class AboutViewController;
#interface iSearchAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
mainViewController *viewController;
AboutViewController *aboutController;
UINavigationController *nav;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet mainViewController *viewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet AboutViewController *aboutController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *nav;
[...IBActions declared here...]
#end
Then, in my .m file:
#implementation iSearchAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize viewController, aboutController, settingsData, nav, engines;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
[window addSubview:nav.view];
[window addSubview:aboutController.view];
[window addSubview:viewController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
-(IBAction)switchToHome{
[window bringSubviewToFront:viewController.view];
}
-(IBAction)switchToSettings{
[window bringSubviewToFront:nav.view];
}
-(IBAction)switchToAbout{
[window bringSubviewToFront:aboutController.view];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[viewController release];
[aboutController release];
[nav release];
[window release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
Somehow, when I run the app, the main view presents itself fine... however, when I try to execute the actions to switch views, the app crashes with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
So, I think it has something to do with memory management, but I'm not quite sure.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Link to screenshots of code is here: link...
SOLVED: I fixed the issue by taking out the IBActions and making them into regular methods... apparently, XCode doesn't like it when you put IBActions in an AppDelegate.
... message sent to deallocated instance ...
If it is memory management, my first step would be to enable NSZombie and discover what was being messaged after being dealloc'ed. Two obvious things I can think of:
Uninitialised property/variable.
De-allocated (non-retained) property
Have your controls in interface builder been connected to the IBActions?
Somewhere in your code, you are invoking [iSearchAppDelegate performSelector:withObject:withObject:]. You haven't shown that code here but that's likely where the problem is.
