Having a UINavigation in a UISplitView - iphone

So I was looking at this app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pageonce-personal-finance/id285056092?mt=8 (see iPad screenshots) and it appears that they have a uinavigation controller within the Details view of the UISplitView. When I tried to make a UINavigation controller in my Details View, the navigation bar overlaps with the UISplitView top bar. For example, on the pageonce app, my blue navigation bar would overlap with the top, silver bar.
Is that blue bar a navigation controller, or something else? If so, how did they move the navigation bar down while still having access to the top bar? Can we control the position of the navigation bar/view?

.

It looks like they have a nested UINavigationController inside a UINavigationController on both the master and detail views. Each UINavigationController creates a bar. There is no such thing as a "UISplitView top bar". You only get a top bar if you put a UINavigationController inside the UISplitViewController in the first place. So all you need to do is to put another UINavigationController inside the UINavigationController and you will get another bar.

Is there a way to show UINavigationController in the second storyboard if that UINavigationController in the first storyboard?

I have the first storyboard has UINavigationController its continues to the second storyboard but it doesn't appear there only when running the app.
I link between storyboard by (Storyboard Reference)
The first storyboard
The second storyboard
The UINavigationController doesn't appear in the second storyboard its appear only when running the app.
according to navigation controllers property it will not show the navigation bar in your case , if you want to edit or customise navigation items or navigationbar then you have to make changes programatically .
but to make changes in navigationbar or navigation items there is some limitations sometimes you can't fully customise it and sometimes you customise it depend on your requirement ... :(
I suggest you that use navigation property but hide the navigation bar
and on place of navigation bar (on top of every view controller) set a
view which will look like navigation bar and you can easily customise
it as per your requirement .
This is normal behaviour of the Storyboard as the controller in your second storyboard does not know if it is a controller in a navigation controller, hence it does not show the navigation bar. If yo want to show the navigation bar in the storyboard you can select it in the Simulated Metrics in the Attributes Inspector (shown here in that thread). You can see it working by giving the controller a title for example.

Navigation Bar is displaying at the bottom

as you can see from the picture i have added, my navigation bar is displaying at the bottom of the screen under my table view. I have just dragged and dropped my navigation bar on to that view controller which means i'm not using a navigation controller. I don't understand why this is happening and i'm sure its a simple fix which i am missing.
image 2 is the storyboard view
image 3 view of the app running
Any help is much appreciated, Thanks!
Delete your old navigation bar
Select your TableViewController and on top click editor->Embed in-> Navigation Controller
Now you should have a navigation bar on top.
See screenshot. You dragged a navigation bar into your table. To achieve the behavior you want you can embed your view controller inside a UINavigationController and access your navigation bar via self.navigationController.navigationBar.
I got your problem
What you have done is you have taken your navigation bar inside tableview...
that is the problem..
you just dragged that navigation bar outside that tableview...and that's it..

UIViewController in a UITabBarController without tab bar item

So I have this application where I have a view controller (which I want to appear first when the app starts) and a tab bar controller. I also have other navigation bar controllers that are in the tab bar controller. I want to place my view controller on top of the tab bar controller. Making the tab bar controller the parent of the view controller would be better though.
But take note, I do not want a tab bar item to represent the view controller and I want the tab bar to appear along with the view controller. I do not and would not want to use storyboards as much as possible. How can i achieve this?
I guess the simplest solution would be to use a screenshot of your tabBar and put it in your HomeViewController as a button. In this case you could use your HomeViewController as rootViewController and in the button action you set the TabBarController as the rootViewController.
Root = Home + Button
-->
Root = TabBar
Perhaps you need four buttons, if you want the correct tab to be selected.

Animate NavigationController transition without animating navigation bar

I have a typical ios app with a navigationcontroller. The navigation bar on the top has left and right buttons that stay the same through different views, so I would like to animate just the current view and not the top bar.
I'm not sure how to get started with this.
I've got an idea.
First, add your custom navigation bar on the top of the main view.
Second, add a navigationController as a subview under your navigation bar.
Now if the navigationController do the pushing or popping, your navigation bar will not change at all.

custom segue with cross disolve in UINavigationController

In my application there is a UITabbarController, against every tab there is UINavgationController and a list of view in the navigation controller.
I want to change the style of push with Modal->Cross Dissolve but when i do this it breaks the relation with the navigationbar and tabbar and does not show any bar.
How can this be solved?
