I have 2 view (view A and view B).
In viewA when I touch a button I execute this code to flip a viewB:
viewB.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:viewB animated:YES];
And now when I came back to viewA I use this code:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: YES]; //here is my problem
I need to set same parameters to viewA when I execute dismiss.
How can I do it?
EDIT
I have not found any solution and I used a pushNavigation in this way:
FirstViewController *viewA = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myView"];
// Effettuo il push alla view successiva
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewA animated:YES];
search for a delegate example or simply use NSNotificationCenter to send a message from one view to another
ClassA:
#protocol myDelegate
#interface ClassA : UIViewController {
}
#end
#protocol myDelegate
- (void)thingsDone:(id)someValues;
#end
ClassB:
#import "ClassA.h"
#interface ClassB : UIViewController <myDelegate> {
}
#end
You have two options:
1- You can use the delegate pattern and register viewA as the delegate object:
viewB.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:viewB animated:YES];
And in viewB you can send messages to the delegate:
[delegate someMethod];
2- You can keep a pointer to viewA in viewB:
viewB.viewA = self;
[self presentModalViewController:viewB animated:YES];
And then you can send messages to the viewA directly:
[viewA someMethod];

I have a UIViewController(Say A). A separate nib file was loaded as popup on this view controller. When popup was closed by clicking a UIButton, I want to load another view controller(Say B) in UIStoryBoard. All the UIViewControllers were in storyboard.
I tried with delegates pattern. the delegate method returns self.storyboard as nil.
Please suggest how to handle (either performsegue from A to B or pushing new instance of B on navigation controller from nib file)
Here is code I used for delegate:
**In CustomViewNewPrescription.h file:**
#class CustomViewNewPrescription;
#protocol CustomViewNewPrescriptionDelegate <NSObject>
-(void)SaveCustomViewNewPrescription;
#end
#interface CustomViewNewPrescription : UIView{
id<CustomViewNewPrescriptionDelegate>delegate;
}
#property(nonatomic,strong) id<CustomViewNewPrescriptionDelegate>delegate;
**in .m:**
- (IBAction)btnCancel:(UIButton *)sender{
[self.delegate SaveCustomViewNewPrescription];
}
delegate was synthesized and initialised.
**In AddNewRx.h:**
#interface AddNewRx : UIViewController<CustomViewNewPrescriptionDelegate>{
}
**in AddNewRx.m:**
-(void)SaveCustomViewNewPrescription{
//either self performseguewithidentifier .... (or)
RxViewController *obj1 = [[self.navigationController storyboard] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"RxViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj1 animated:YES];
}
In SaveCustomViewNewPrescription, self.storyboard giving nil values
Please suggest how to load another view controller in SaveCustomViewNewPrescription.
Instead of:
RxViewController *obj1 = [[self.navigationController storyboard] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"RxViewController"];
Try:
UIStoryboard *yourStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
RxViewController *obj1 = [yourStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"RxViewController"];
I have 2 ViewControllers, in 1st - TableView and in 2nd - button with label on it. When I click on the button in 2nd ViewController I need to go back on TableView and set in
cell.detailTextLabel.text
text from label on the button.
For go back to first view I use:
[self.navigationController popToViewController:[self.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1] animated:YES];
but how I can set label from second view to:
cell.detailTextLabel.text
in first view?????
I would define a protocol & delegate in the second view controller
#protocol SecondViewController;
#interface SecondViewController : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic, assign) id<SecondViewController> delegate;
#end
#protocol SecondViewController <NSObject>
- (void)secondViewController:(SecondViewController *)controller didTappedOnButton:(UIButton *)button;
#end
then when the button is tapped call the delegate:
- (IBAction)buttonTapped:(UIButton *)sender
{
// do somthing..
// then tell the delegate about the button tapped
[self.delegate secondViewController:self didTappedOnButton:sender];
}
In your first view controller implement the protocol
#interface FirstViewController : UIViewController <SecondViewControllerDelegate>
when you push the second view controller, set the first as the second delegate:
- (void)someMethodThatPushTheSecondViewController
{
SecondViewController *svc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:svc animated:YES];
svc.delegate = self;
}
And implement the delegate method to get notified when the button tapped
- (void)secondViewController:(SecondViewController *)controller didTappedOnButton:(UIButton *)button
{
// do somthing after button tapped
// you can get the button title from button.titleLabel.text
}
To access a parent class method or property you gotta implement a protocol, and use it's delegates. You can access child class methods/properties using it's class object that you create in the current (parent) class. But how you want to access a parent class entity from a child class? YES, implementing protocols.
Or the newbie way: after tapping your button, save the needed value into NSUserDefaults. Then, when you go to your parent class (viewController 1), ion viewWillAppear, check that saved value, and if it's not nil, display it.
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
so in my app delegate I am trying to present a modalViewController from a UITabBarController, by doing the following:
self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
LoginViewController* loginViewController = [[LoginViewController alloc] init];
loginViewController.delegate = self;
[self.tabBarController presentModalViewController:loginViewController animated:NO];
[loginViewController release];
and the delegate defined in the app delegate is:
- (void)userDidLogin:(LoginViewController *) loginViewController
{
NSLog(#"DELEGATE CALLED, DISMISSING");
[self.tabBarController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
}
Here's my LoginViewController:
protocol LoginViewControllerDelegate;
#interface LoginViewController : UIViewController <MBProgressHUDDelegate>
{
id<LoginViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (assign) id<LoginViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
#end
#protocol LoginViewControllerDelegate
- (void)userDidLogin:(LoginViewController *) loginViewController;
#end
The issue is that this (userDidLogin:(LoginViewController *) loginViewController) is never called... why is this?
I have called the following in my LoginViewController implementation and this is called
[self.delegate userDidLogin:self];
UPDATE:
I got the delegate called now. The issue now is that when I call [self.tabBarController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES] it doesn't dismiss the modal view controller.
You didn't post any code from LoginViewController, but within that class's code you need to add the following lines when you are ready to dismiss it (perhaps when the user clicks the "Login" button and the login is successful).
if (delegate && [delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(userDidLogin:)])
[delegate performSelector:#selector(userDidLogin:) withObject:self];
UPDATE:
I think I understand what the issue is here. According to Apple's documentation, when you call presentModalViewController:animated: the method sets the value of the "modalViewController" property of UIViewController (in this case your UITabBar). However that property only maintains a weak reference to the modalViewController. That's important because you initialize the LoginViewController, pass it in to presentModalViewController:animated: and then you release it. Since presentModalViewController:animated: is not retaining a strong reference to the LoginViewController, the UITTabBar is unable to dismiss it later on. In fact I'm surprised what you have done is not resulting in an EXC_BAD_ACCESS crash. I suggest you remove the "[loginViewController release]" statement and instead release it after you call "[self.tabBarController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO]"
I have a UIViewController which shows different UIViewController sub-classes. In the main UIViewController.m, I have a sub-class called 'Home' load on app start.
Now, which the Home view loaded, I have a button which I want to use to switch to another view called 'PreGameInfo'. I'm trying to use the code below:
- (IBAction)showPreGameInfo:(id)sender {
[self.view insertSubview:preGameInfo.view atIndex:0];
}
It doesn't work, and I know it's because the 'self.view' needs to refer to the main UIViewController rather than the self of the 'Home' view. Does anyone know how to insertSubView to the main UIViewController when using a UIButton whilst in a SubView???
Thank you!
You can use a delagate. It very easy
So implement this in your information view controller;
In the InformationViewController.h
#protocol InformationViewControllerDelegate;
#interface InformationViewController : UIViewController {
id <InformationViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (nonatomic, assign) id <InformationViewControllerDelegate> delegate;
- (IBAction)returnBack:(id)sender;
#end
#protocol InformationViewControllerDelegate
- (void)InformationViewControllerDidFinish:(InformationViewController *)controller;
#end
in the InformationViewController.m
- (IBAction)returnBack:(id)sender {
[self.delegate InformationViewControllerDidFinish:self];
}
And use the delegate in any view controller you need it like this :
In the HomeViewController.h
#import "InformationViewController.h"
#interface HomeViewController : UIViewController <InformationViewControllerDelegate> {
}
Write the method to change the view from Home view to Information view
- (IBAction)goToInformationView:(id)sender;
In the HomeViewController.m
- (IBAction)goToInformationView:(id)sender {
InformationViewController *controller = [[InformationViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
controller.delegate = self;
// You can chose the transition you want here (they are 4 see UIModalTransitionStyle)
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
And the last but not least the delegate method it inform the HomeViewController when the InformationViewController had finished
- (void)InformationViewControllerDidFinish:(InformationViewController *)controller {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I hope it helps
- (IBAction)showPreGameInfo:(id)sender {
[superview insertSubview:preGameInfo.view atIndex:0];
}
Does this code work?
[self.parentViewController.view addSubview:myView];
Just do it in the modalView:
[self presentModalViewController:preGameInfo animated:YES]
or you can do something like this...
This line will add your new view to windows rootViewControllers view
[self.view.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:preGameInfo.view];
I have a small doubt. I have a NSObject class where I am trying to display an alert view. So after the alert view is displayed when I tap on OK button I want to push a navigation controller onto the stack. Can I push a navigation controller from general NSObject class? Please let me know guys..thanks for your time..
This is the code..
- (void) alertView:(UIAlertView *)alert clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
SettingsViewController *homeView = [[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SettingsViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:homeView animated:NO];
[homeView release];
}
I am creating a property called navigationController of type UINavigationController and when I catch the error I am displaying an alert view and I am using above method to push the view controller but it doesn't work..
Yes and no... depending on how you have your application set up. To push views onto the navigation stack you need to have a navigation controller.
Does your NSObject have access to this navigation controller - you might have to set up a delegate method that gets called from your delegate view when the alert view delegate gets called in your NSObject.
I'm just wondering why you're displaying a UIAlertView in an NSObject, why aren't you displaying it in a UIView or a UIViewController?
CustomObject.h
#protocol CustomObjectDelegate<NSObject>
#optional
- (void)customObjectAlertViewDidClickOk;
#end
#interface CustomObject : NSObject <UIAlertViewDelegate>{
id<CustomObjectDelegate> delegate;
}
#property (nonatomic, assign) id<CustomObjectDelegate> delegate;
#end;
CustomObject.m
#synthesize delegate;
// then put this:
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
[delegate customObjectAlertViewDidClickOk];
}
Then your ViewController .h file needs to include the custom object and assign the delegate methods:
#include "CustomObject.h"
#interface MyViewController : UIViewController <CustomObjectDelegate> {
}
#end
and the .m viewDidLoad (or similar):
- (void)viewDidLoad{
CustomObject *obj = [[CustomObject alloc] init];
[obj setDelegate:self];
}
- (void)customObjectAlertViewDidClickOk{
AnotherViewController *page = [[AnotherViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundles:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:page];
}
Thats how I would do it - given I'm not too sure i understand quite what you're asking. :) thats all off the top of my head as well - so don't take it letter for letter, but you have the basis there to start off with. You can build on it. Look up #protocols and delegate methods, its all in there. :)
