I am displaying a UITableViewController inside of a UITabBarController that is being presented modally:
-(IBAction)arButtonClicked:(id)sender{
//this is a uitableviewcontroller
ARViewController* arViewController = [[[ARViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ARViewController" bundle:nil]autorelease];
LeaderBoardTableViewController* lbViewController = [[[LeaderBoardTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LeaderBoardTableViewController" bundle:nil]autorelease];
lbViewController.title = #"Leaderboard";
arTabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
arTabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:arViewController, lbViewController, nil];
arTabBarController.selectedViewController = arViewController;
[self presentModalViewController:arTabBarController animated:YES];
}
In my viewDidLoad for arViewController method I am setting the navigation items:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;
self.title = #"AR";
leaderBoardButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemOrganize
target:self
action:#selector(leaderBoardButtonClicked:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = leaderBoardButton;
}
My navigation bar doesn't appear when it is inside of the UITabBarController, but when I push the view itself I am able to see it.
What am I missing?
Heh, I've been stumped by this too. What you need to do is send the rootViewController.
I've never used a tabBar for anything except on the main screen but ur code will probably look like this:
after arTabBarController.selectedViewController = arViewController;
UINavigationController *navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: arTabBarController] autorelease];
[self presentModalViewController: navController animated:YES];
Like I said I haven't done it with a tabBar but I'm pretty sure it will be something along these lines
I needed to add a UINavigationBar:
ARViewController* arViewController = [[[ARViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ARViewController" bundle:nil]autorelease];
UINavigationController *arNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:arViewController];
LeaderBoardTableViewController* lbViewController = [[[LeaderBoardTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LeaderBoardTableViewController" bundle:nil]autorelease];
lbViewController.title = #"Leaderboard";
UINavigationController *lbNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:lbViewController];
arTabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];//initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
arTabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:arNavController, lbNavController, nil];
arTabBarController.selectedViewController = arNavController;
[self presentModalViewController:arTabBarController animated:YES];
There is a simple solution, put setting in view will appear
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:animated];
}
hope it help some newbies;

I have a UIViewController with two UITableView's in it. When i select a row in the first UITableView it has to push the same UIViewController which doesnt happen.
In UIViewController.h i have,
FirstTableViewController *firstController;
SecondTableViewController *secondController;
In UIViewController.m i have,
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
if (firstController == nil) {
firstController = [[FirstTableViewController alloc] init];
}
if (secondController == nil) {
secondController = [[SecondTableViewController alloc] init];
}
UINavigationController *firstNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstController];
firstController.product = self.product;
[firstTable setDataSource:firstController];
[firstTable setDelegate:firstController];
firstNavigationController.view = firstController.tableView;
}
In FirstTableViewController.m, didSelectRowAtIndexPath i have,
[self.searchDisplayController setActive:YES animated:YES];
UIViewController *controller = [[UIViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"UIViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
controller.product = prod;
NSLog(#"Navigation controller is %#",self.navigationController); //not null
[[self navigationController]pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
Please help.
EDIT #1: UIViewController is called from the FlipsideViewController of the UtilityApp.
Add a property to your AppDelegate UINavigationController *nav
add this line to AppDelegate.m in application didFinishLaunching method
navigationControl = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:yourFirst ViewController];
Go to yourFirstViewController, add an UINavigationController *nav property and add these lines to viewDidLoad method
AppDelegate *app = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
self.nav = app.nav;
Use this line to push any viewController
[self.nav pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
If you want to show a view controller modally, you should use presentViewController:animated:completion: and not pushViewController:animated:.
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
Use this Code in "didSelectRowAtIndexPath"
UIViewController *controller = [[UIViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"UIViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
[viewController release];
LoginViewSimpleController *loginViewSimple = [[LoginViewSimpleController alloc]init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:loginViewSimple];
[self setNavigationController:navController];
Have you identify both tableviews ? Can you Post log status here ?
I have an app with a UITabBar and a NavigationController. When I use pushViewController the new ViewController appears with the NavigationController and the back button, but the UITabBarController disappears. I know there are lots of questions here about the same, but any of them have solved my question, maybe because I dont understand the answers given.
Any suggestion?
ActivityViewController *activityController = [[ActivityViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ActivityViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:activityController animated:NO];
That's probably because Your rootViewController (for your main UIWindow) is set to a Navigationcontroller instead of your TabBar.
If you don't want the Tabbar to go away just set it as your root view controller
Do the following in appDidFinishLaunching in your AppDelegate
LoginViewController *loginViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *loginNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] loginViewController];
[firstViewController release];
self.window.rootViewController = loginNavigationController;
Then in your Login Page:
- (void)loginSuccessfull
{
FirstViewController *firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *firstNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithViewController:firstViewController];
[firstViewController release];
SecondViewController *secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *secondNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithViewController:secondViewController];
[secondViewController release];
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstNavigationController, secondNavigationController, nil]];
[firstNavigationController release];
[secondNavigationController release];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tabBarController];
[tabBarController release];
}
If you still need the navigation functionality just wrap your viewControllers inside a UINavigationController, and add the serounding navigationController to the tabBar, instead of the UIViewcontroller
I have a window based app. I added two viewcontrollers and one Tabbarcontroller to that. Now I want to navigate each viewcontroller to next view. I tried but can't find the solution. Can anyone please help me?
When you add the tab bar on window, add like this-
NSMutableArray * viewControllers = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
FirstViewController * firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController * nvc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];
[firstViewController release];
[viewControllers addObject:nvc];
[nvc release];
SecondViewController * secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
nvc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:secondViewController];
[secondViewController release];
[viewControllers addObject:nvc];
[nvc release];
UITabBarController * tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
tabBarController.viewControllers = viewControllers;
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
EDIT -
Whenever you want to navigate in any one of the controller. All you need is to call
[self.navigationController pushViewController:anotherViewController animated:YES];
And you will get exactly what you want. :)
UINavigationController *urNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootController];
If you want to show this on the window
[window addSubview:urNavController.view];
use like this
secondViewController *obj=[[[secondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"secondViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UINavigationController *navBar=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:obj];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:navBar animated:YES];
[navBar release];
my app is based on tabbar controller
now in my default view i am showing a viewController and lets say it has Button A, when user press A it should load a my tableviewController but nothing is happening??
-(IBAction)promo:(id)sender
{
aRoot= [[tableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"tableViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:aRoot animated:YES];
}
but its not loading anything no error even???
/////////// UPDATE
i did this
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
Promo *aPromo = [[Promo alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];//button A is deifned on this VC
// then...
aNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:aPromo];
// [pageOne release];
and in promoviewController
-(IBAction)promo:(id)sender
{atab= [[TableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"TableViewController" bundle:nil];
//TableViewController *atab1 = [[TableViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"TableViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:atab animated:YES];
}
You need a navigationController to push a viewController.
you can't add a viewcontroller to a uitabbar if you want to use the navigation controller.
Where you make your tab bar controller you have to do this:
MyFirstTabViewController *pageOne = [[MyFirstTabeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
// then...
UINavigationController *ncOne = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:pageOne];
[pageOne release];
then add ncOne to the tab bar instead of the view controller. :) Then your code in the question should work (given that you're properly declaring aRoot in the header).
EDIT
Start again... choose a view based application call it TabBarTest.
Right click on classes and add three new classes. They need to be subclasses of UIViewController or UITableViewController. Lets say they're called RootViewOne RootViewTwo and SecondaryViewController.
Then open TabBarTestViewController.m
Uncomment the viewDidLoad method.
You need to now put this code in that method:
UITabBarController *tbc = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [NSMutableArray array];
RootViewOne *vc1 = [[RootViewOne alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nc1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc1];
nc1.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[viewControllers addObject:nc1];
[vc1 release];
RootViewTwo *vc2 = [[RootViewTwo alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nc2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc2];
nc2.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[viewControllers addObject:nc2];
[vc2 release];
[tbc setViewControllers:viewControllers animated:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:tbc animated:YES];
Now open RootViewOne.m and in viewDidLoad put this:
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button setTitle:#"Click to move through stack" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(moveToNextView:) forEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:button];
Now you're going to need a custom method:
-(void)moveToNextView:(id)selector {
SecondaryViewController *page = [[SecondaryViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
page.title = #"Next Page";
page.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:page animated:YES];
[page release];
}
This is only basic, but you should get an understanding of the kinad process you need to go through. I typed this straight into the browser so there may be spelling mistakes... watch out if you get any errors or warnings. Hopefully this can help you with your project.
Finally i solved this , i changed that VC to Navigation view Controller and then i can push the new view based on button tap,, thanks to thomas also who helped me a lot but i couldn't figure it out.
I have a controllerView (MenuControllerView) with a button inside, when I click on the button a new ViewController will appear with a TabBarController created programmatically like this:
UIView* topView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,480)];
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
viewController1 = [[ViewController1 alloc] init];
viewController2 = [[ViewController2 alloc] init];
viewController3 = [[ViewController3 alloc] init];
viewController4 = [[ViewController4 alloc] init];
tabBarController,viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1 , viewController2 , viewController3 ,viewController4, nil];
[[self tabBarController] setSelectedIndex:1];
[topView addSubView:[tabBarController view]];
Instead of displaying ViewController1 for the first button Item, I want to put an action Back in it to return to my MenuViewController, but I don't know how how to do it.
Thanks
Have you considered presenting the UITabBarController as a modal view controller and implementing UITabBarControllerDelegate? e.g. this seems to work for me (I make the third tab return to MenuViewController here):
#interface MenuViewController : UIViewController <UITabBarControllerDelegate>
...
- (IBAction) onButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
UITabBarController* tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
viewController1 = [[ViewController1 alloc] init];
viewController2 = [[ViewController2 alloc] init];
viewController3 = [[ViewController3 alloc] init];
tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1 , viewController2 , viewController3 , nil];
[[self tabBarController] setSelectedIndex:1];
tabBarController.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:tabBarController animated:NO];
}
- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController;
{
if (viewController == viewController3)
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
I doubt that this approach is a good one. You'll gonna break typical iPhone behaviour which will confuse users. The TabBarController is designed (functionally and technically) to change between views while a NavigationController is for pushing and popping views (go forth and back). Of course you can combine those (which is not always easy), but you shouldn't use TabBar as NavigationBar.
if I understand right, you can just remove your tabbar's view from superview. smth like
[[tabBarController view] removeFromSuperview];
if you just want to handle selection of tabbar item, you can use tabBar:didSelectItem: method of th UITabBarDelegate protocol.
Is this what you're trying to do?
This automatically created with a UINavigationController upon pushing to a child view controller.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:yourChildViewController animated:YES];
