I am new in iOS development and in Swift. I have a question. I added in one of the ViewController NavigationController. But I have some problems with back button cause it doesn't appear on other Views. I tried with self.pushViewController() and with self.present() but it doesn't work. If I mark in NavigationController Is Initial View Controller then everything is fine but I don't want it because then app starts with this screen(where I have NavigationController).
Please help me, what I should to add or to write?
This is an image of my storyboard
And this is what I have if I run and go to another ViewController, as you can see I don't have navigation bar and back button.
You got 2 options :
1) Add a navigation controller in the root ViewController, Hide throughout except the last one. Make sure you push the last VC so Back option will be there by default
self.navigationController.pushToViewController(BarCodeViewController)
2) Use a custom View on top of last viewController add a custom button to that view. But this time present it from previous ViewController
self.present(BarCodeViewController)
when back button clicked dismiss it by adding target to the button. self.dismiss()

As you can see - i selected show but on main storyboard and in app it works like modaly.
What's wrong with it?
Even if i change to any other option, it works modally!
Edit: If i add button and segue to other view - it works always modally to even if i change this value.
For appearing with "Back" button in the navigation bar, you need to use Navigation Controller at first. In order to can push inside.
Check the image, Now it will be handled to push inside the stack of the view controllers of the navigation controller.
I have added a show segue from table cell in one view controller to another table view embedded in a navigation controller. When I click on the cell in the first view the segue works as expected and brings up the new view. However, the "Back" button (with the title of the original view) does not appear in the navigation bar.
I searched SO and found a number of such questions asked in the past (both for Swift and Objective-C). Most of them suggest that the first view needs a title for this to work. I do have a title. I even added one programmatically, just in case. That did not help. One of the answers suggested to add an identifier to the segue; that didn't help me either.
How else can I debug this issue?
It seems like the problem is that you are pushing into a totally new navigationController, remove it, and make segue dirrectly into the new view Detail itself, they have to be in the same navigationController to work
Verify you are not hiding backbutton in destination controller...
I had a left bar button item in storyboard removing the button, back button showed up.
I just started with Xcode and Swift.
I try to build my first little App for iOS. But now I have the problem, that I don't know how to implement a the back button, so that i come back to the view before.
My Storyboard look like this:
When I open the A-Z view, I want to display the Back Arrow, which turn me back to the Item 2 view.
To open the A - Z view I connect the button "Medikamente A - Z" with the Navigation Controller.
When using storyboards the back button is usually implemented with unwind segue.
I usually like to follow raywenderlich toturials on UI related topics, like this - http://www.raywenderlich.com/113394/storyboards-tutorial-in-ios-9-part-2
It include a detailed example of how to implement back button in storyboards. Quoting from it -
Storyboards provide the ability to ‘go back’ with something called an unwind segue, which you’ll implement next.
There are three main steps:
1. Create an object for the user to select, usually a button.
2. Create an unwind method in the controller that you want to return to.
3. Hook up the method and the object in the storyboard.
When using UINavigationController, whenever you push to a new ViewController the back button will automatically appear, so you can jump back to the previous View Controller.
So it's works like:
UIViewController -> UIViewController -> UIViewController
A back button will appear on the last 2 so you can pop back the the previous ViewController.
You don't have to do any additional coding for the back button to appear, it'll do it on its own. I hope this clears it up. Let me know if you have any questions.
To implement a back button, your root view controller has to be a Navigation Controller.
The first view controller becomes the navigation root of the navigation controller.
If you want to present another view controller, you select a "Show Detail" relationship as the action for the button which should show the view controller. To do this, Ctrl-click and drag from the button to the destination view controller and select "Show Detail".
I had the same problem, even when on the storyboard the back button was visible at design time.
I deleted the segue, and recreated it with "Show" instead of "Show detail". Changing the segue to "Show" had no effect. I think this is a bug, so if you miss that back button delete and recreate the segue.
Im working on an App for iOS, thats uses the navigationController to switch betweens views. I'm trying to return from to the root viewcontroller from the third view.
I have succeeded in the Main.Storyboard, with dragging a button from third to root view, but then the NavigationController just continues the stack.
Is it possible to make a command from third view, to return to root ViewController, without the NavigationController Bar showing the "Back" button and keeping track and without reseting any Bools.
If you want to hide the back button from the navigation bar.Then write the code in third view's viewDidLoad or in viewWillAppear-
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton=YES;
And Now write the code in the body of the action button.Such as-
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Let me know if it works for you.Thank you
You can use the [UINavigationCobtroller popToRootViewControllerAnimated:] to close all the view hierarchy to the first but for the remaining issues you can find plenty of answers on SO.
I know that a push segue automatically adds a back button so that the presentee can return to the presenter on click. What I want is for the back button to be available on the first UIViewController of the NavigationController (basically the only view controller in the chain that does not have a back button). How do I force add the back button?
I cannot simply add a custom image because I want the exact same chevron that comes with the iOS back button.
The easiest (yet hackish) way to achieve this is probably adding a dummy view controller in the stack before the actual first one, so you will get a proper back button. Use dummy's backBarButtonItem to customize the button title if you need, and -viewWillAppear: to respond to the button being tapped.
What I want is for the back button to be available on the first UIViewController .... How do I force add the back button
This whole thinking and logic is wrong. This is not how iOS UINavigationControllers work. You have a starting page (mainViewController) in a UINavigationControllers and from there you "move on" to something else. But you always come back to the main view controller. Just think about it, if you put a back button on the main view controller, where will the user go back to?
If you have a situation like this.
SomeViewController --> UINavigationController --> MainViewController
Once user is on SomeViewController and you take him to MainViewController which is part of UINavigationController then back button makes sense.
Just a FYI - you can easily drag and drop a UIBarButtonItem to any UINavigationController in Xcode and call it "Back". You will have to then connect that back button to another view controller.
Maybe it doesn't make sense but why can't you add a custom image? If all you want is "Back" chevron, can't you take a screenshot of this button and then put this image on your custom UIBarButtonItem?
