How to hide top bar on QLPreviewController by default - ios

I am presenting a QuickLook preview controller like so:
QLPreviewController *qlController = [[QLPreviewController alloc] init];
qlController.dataSource = self;
qlController.delegate = self;
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[rootVC presentViewController:qlController animated:NO completion:nil];
});
I'm passing it a usdz preview item. As soon as the item loads in the top bar it disappears but the effect is jarring.
Is there any way to hide this top bar (highlighted in yellow) by default so it never shows up?

Yes you can, but after presenting QLPreviewController. Following code will works to hide navigation bar, but after few moment.
Objective-C:
[self presentViewController:qlController animated:true completion:^{
UINavigationBar *navBar = [[[[[qlController view] subviews] firstObject] subviews] objectAtIndex:1];
[navBar setHidden:true];
}];
Swift:
self.present(qlController, animated: true) {
if let navigationBar = qlController.view.subviews.first?.subviews[1] as? UINavigationBar {
navigationBar.isHidden = true
}
}

UIPopoverPresentationController can't setup arrow color

I am trying to present popover with UIPopoverPresentationController class on the iPhone.
I need to present navigation controller inside the popover. So I do the following:
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
viewController.preferredContentSize = size;
navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
self.currentPopoverController = navigationController.popoverPresentationController;
self.currentPopoverController.backgroundColor = [UIColor commonApplicationBgColor];//My common app blue color
self.view.alpha = 0.7;
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
It is working, but arrow colour is differ from the popover navigation bar background colour. I checked they use the same [UIColor commonApplicationBgColor], but it looks like arrow colour is darker. Tried setup alpha for self.currentPopoverController.backgroundColor, but it is still has wrong color.
Please check image:
if you don't want arrow then you can pass 0 to permittedarrowdirection like,
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:YOUR_RECT
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:0
animated:YES];
Update :
you can set like,
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController];
popover.backgroundColor = contentViewController.view.backgroundColor;
set bacground color to popovercontroller.
Update 2 :
myPopoverViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
[self presentViewController:myPopoverViewController animated: YES completion: nil];
// Get the popover presentation controller and configure it.
UIPopoverPresentationController *presentationController =
[myPopoverViewController popoverPresentationController];
presentationController.permittedArrowDirections =
UIPopoverArrowDirectionLeft | UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight;
presentationController.sourceView = myView;
presentationController.sourceRect = sourceRect;
presentationController.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor]; //set your expacted color here.
Hope this will help

In iOS 7, using UIModalPresentationCurrentContext for an animated modal presentation doesn't animate

In iOS 8, when presenting a modal (lets say with a transparent background), we need to set the segue (or the modal) to use the presentation style of UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext. This is working as expected.
To accomplish the same thing for iOS 7, you instead, need to set the presenting view controller to have a modal presentation style of UIModalPresentationCurrentContext. Here's where I'm having an issue. I present the modal with animation, but it doesn't animate. After it is presented, everything works fine, even animating the dismissal. Further, if I change the presentation style to UIModalPresentationFullScreen, it animates correctly.
I've searched around and read other posts, but I can't find the cause of this or a solution.
ViewController *vcObj = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:NSStringFromClass([ViewController class]) bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navCon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vcObj];
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >= 8.0) {
navCon.providesPresentationContextTransitionStyle = YES;
navCon.definesPresentationContext = YES;
navCon.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:navCon animated:NO completion:nil];
}
else {
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[self presentViewController:navCon animated:NO completion:^{
[navCon dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:^{
appDelegate.window.rootViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:navCon animated:NO completion:nil];
appDelegate.window.rootViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
}];
}];
}

iOS: Make navigation bar always visible in UITableViewController

I have searched and searched and have been unable to find an answer to my problem.
I have a Table View Controller and I need the navigation bar to always be visible at the top of the screen and not scroll up along with the table view. I've seen solutions suggesting I adjust the content inset, set it to translucent, etc. None of those work. If you can provide any solutions/suggestions I would be very appreciative!
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent=YES;
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(44,0,0,0);
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
self.edgesForExtendedLayout=UIRectEdgeNone;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars=NO;
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets=NO;
if ([UIScreen mainScreen].scale > 1.0)
{
[self->btnBack setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"back_button#2x.png"]];
}
else
{
[self->btnBack setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"back_button.png"]];
}
self.tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:69/255.0 green:189/255.0 blue:150/255.0 alpha:1.0];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"nav_bar_bg.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
NSLog(#"Loading up coupons");
MWRAppDelegate* appDelegate = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
if([g_categoryName isEqualToString: #"All"]){
NSMutableArray *coupons = [appDelegate getAllCoupons];
NSMutableArray *contests = [appDelegate getAllContests];
NSArray *newArray=[contests arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:coupons];
self.fetchedRecordsArray = newArray;
}
else {
NSMutableArray *coupons = [appDelegate getCatCoupons];
NSMutableArray *contests = [appDelegate getAllContests];
NSArray *newArray=[contests arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:coupons];
self.fetchedRecordsArray = newArray;
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
You can try to embed your UITableViewController in an UINavigationControler.
Using Storyboard : select your UITableViewController, press Editor > Embed in > Navigation controller.
Or by code, create a UINavigationController and set your tableviewcontroller as its rootviewcontroller :
UINavigationController* aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:yourTableViewController];
and present aNavigationController instead of presenting yourTableViewController ;-)
ps: if yourTableViewController is not embeded in a navigation controller, then calling self.navigationController will just return nil and any action on it would be nil too.

How to return to view controller in main.storyboard from a xib without using navigation controller or navigation bar?

I am making an app with different view controllers. My home screen is in main.storyboard. Rest of the view controllers have their own xib, .h & .m files. I am trying this for navigation from home screen.
-(IBAction)btnSignUpTapped:(id)sender
{
SignUpWithEmailViewController * login = [[SignUpWithEmailViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:login];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
This code works fine for navigating to different viewcontroller (in this case SignUpwithEmailViewController). On SignUpWithEmailViewController I have a back button which is supposed to bring me back to home screen. This is what I got so far:
-(IBAction)btnBackTapped:(id)sender
{
ViewController * homeScreen = [[ViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:homeScreen];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
But as result of this code, screen turns black and nothing happens. How do I solve this problem? For hiding the nav bar I am using
-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
}
Yes, you have to insert you called viewController to NavigationController,
but if you wont to use modal flow - to close presentedViewController just call:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
}];
EDITED:
may be it will be more helpful, it just example, put it to you main view controller:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
UIViewController *c = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
c.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self presentViewController:c animated:YES completion:^{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
}];
}];
}

add a back button to UIImagepicker controller navigation nar

i have a UI Image picker and its being shown inside a UI popoverController, i need a back button on UIimage picker navbar, so i can go back to previous popover.
let me explain in details.
1) i have a popup in which i tap and raise a notification, this notification is read on a view controller where i want this camera image picker popup. following is my code
-(void)registerNotificationForCameraSource
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self selector:#selector(mediaSourceCallback:) name:NOTIFICATION_FOR_CAMERA_SOURCE object:nil];
}
#pragma mark - Image picker Popover
-(void)mediaSourceCallback:(NSNotification *)notificationObj
{
capturedImages = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
pickerObj = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
// [pickerObj setContentSizeForViewInPopover:CGSizeMake(320,480)];
pickerObj.delegate = self;
if ([notificationObj.object isEqualToString:#"UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera"])
{
pickerObj.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
pickerObj.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
pickerObj.showsCameraControls = YES;
[self presentViewController:pickerObj animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[ApplicationDiscriptionPopupViewController class], nil] setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
pickerObj.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(imagePickerBackButtonTapped)];
[pickerObj.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[pickerObj setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
//navigationControllerObj = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:applicationDiscriptionPopupViewControllerObj];
_popoverControllerObj.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(320,480);
pickerObj.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[pickerObj presentedViewController];
[_popoverControllerObj setContentViewController:pickerObj animated:YES];
}
}
-(void)imagePickerBackButtonTapped
{
[pickerObj popToViewController:applicationDiscriptionPopupViewControllerObj animated:YES]; }
pickerObj is UI Image picker
applicationDiscriptionPopupViewControllerObj is view controller of my previous popover view. from where i came. now i wana go back to this view in the popup, when i tap on back button in nav bar.
but i dnt hav any nav bar. plz help
If you are adding a UIImagePickerController via presentViewController inside a UIViewController then you should see the default navigation bar. You should implement :
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated {
UINavigationItem *navBarTopItem;
// you cannot add a custom back button with native back button look like, so use image over
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"back_arrow.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(backAction)];
navBarTopItem.title = #"Albums"; // "Camera
navBarTopItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;
}
Add a back button action handler
-(void)backAction{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Hope that answer ur Q.
