My scenario I have three view controller A, B and C. A is the root view controller, In A button click to navigate B view controller and In side B view controller button click to navigate C view controller. It is working fine by below code.
let vc = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: Bundle.main).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "firstview") as? ViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc!, animated: true)
But, Each view controller I want to show separate navigation bar or navigation controller. If i set bar it is not covering status bar but if I embed navigation controller it showing proper bar in story board but output showing previous view controller bar and back button. Here, problem is A view controller I made transparent but B and C also showing transparent. I want to show separate navigation bar in B and C.
enter image description here
it seems you have embedded navigation controller on root view controller and when you move from one Vc to another the navigation bar is the same as root view controller with a back button and it is obvious because you have embedded the navigation controller in root view controller.
one thing you can do is instead of making a segue like this:
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc!, animated: true)
you can try;
self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
this code present your view controller B and C without the navigation controller
You will need to modify/update the title of the navigation bar using
self.navigationItem.title = "your_title"
If you want to add some fancy view to the navigation bar you can use this
func updateTitle(_ title: String?) {
let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 44, height: 400))
label.text = title
label.backgroundColor = .clear
label.textColor = .white
self.navigationItem.title = ""
self.navigationItem.titleView = label
}
Hope this helps

Here I am using swrevealViewController to display side menu and here I am having tab bar for five view controllers and in this every view controller need to have bar button and which will be having action for side menu and here if I select any of the bar buttons in tab bar which will opens side menu and will have access to another view controllers in side menu after going to any view controller then when I press the back button action was working fine and when I move to another to another view controller in tab bar after coming back from view controller then also it works fine whenever I move to previous tab bar view controller and click side menu view controllers then the view controller was moving in the previous navigation controller and in the navigation frontNVC the last accessed new view controller was saving in navigation stack can anyone help me how to resolve this ?
here is the code which used for moving side menu
if cell.titleCellLabel.text! == "Account"
{
var controller: UIViewController? = nil
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: controllers[indexPath.row])
print(frontNVC?.viewControllers)
if controller != nil
{
// Prevent stacking the same controller multiple times
print(frontNVC)
_ = frontNVC?.popViewController(animated: false)
frontNVC?.viewControllers.removeAll()
// Prevent pushing twice FrontTableViewController
if !(controller is SWRevealViewController) {
// Show the controller with the front view controller's navigation controller
print(frontNVC)
frontNVC!.pushViewController(controller!, animated: false)
}
// Set front view controller's position to left
revealViewController().setFrontViewPosition(.left, animated: true)
}
}
here is the code used for back button action used in side menu view controllers
#IBAction func backButtonAction(_ sender: Any) {
let nc = revealViewController().rearViewController as? UINavigationController
let frontNVC = (nc?.topViewController as? LeftSideViewController)?.frontNVC
_ = frontNVC?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
Here is my story board layout image shown below
I have two view controllers, I added navigation bar to second view controller with two bar button items Back and Item as shown below
But when I do a push segue from first view controller, it is replaced by navigation item <Category, which is title of navigation item in my first view controller as shown below
How do I keep my navigation bar intact avoiding the default navigation item <Category, which is being added automatically while maintaining push segue functionality.
I tried to do maually without using stoyboard as follows
#IBAction func plusAction(_ sender: Any) {
let secondViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SVC") as? SecondViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(secondViewController!, animated: true)
}
but it still doesnt work.
You want to display two bar button items Back and Item by added UINavigationBar to second view controller, you are doing it in the wrong way!!!
In your storyboard, drag a UINavigationItem to your second ViewController.
If the UINavigationItem does not display on your storyboard, you must select second view controller, choose Opaque Navigation Bar or Translucent Navigation Bar (not important)
After that, you can drag UIBarButtonItem where you want on your ViewController
Have you tried changing the kind of segue through segue inspector (click the particular segue and check its attributes in the inspector) like this,
But you should know each one of it is not similar, has it's own definition in how it appears - check https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/UsingSegues.html
Also, alternatively using code,
if let viewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "storyboardId") as? TargetViewController {
self.present(viewController, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
On clicking a button I display a view controller using the following code:
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: locationVC)
navController.navigationBar.barTintColor = StyleHelper.navBarColor()
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
navController.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(named: "back_arrow"), style: .Plain, target: locationVC, action: nil)
self.presentViewController(navController, animated: true, completion: nil)
But the back button does not appear on the locationVC
What am I doing wrong? Please help
Multiple issues with code.
Issue 1:
You should update viewController's bar button item and not navigationController's bar button item.
So this is wrong
navController.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem
Whats correct
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem
Issue 2:
The above code won't work because your current viewController is not pushed by any other VC so it cant show back button. What you need is leftBarButtonItem
So in your VC you can write
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Abcd", style: .done, target: self, action: yourSelectorHere)
}
O/P:
Back button only appears for view controllers in the navigation stack.
you creating new navigation controller stack and making locationVC as root controller so there won't be any view controller to go back.
If you push another view controller to the navigation stack then you will get back button.
In a horizontally regular environment, the view controller is
presented in the style specified by the modalPresentationStyle
property. In a horizontally compact environment, the view controller
is presented full screen by default. doc: presentViewController
So, if you use present a view controller it will not show in navigation controller thus no back button
For this case you need to push view controller.
From storyboard:
let storyBoard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier:
"newViewController") as! YourViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
Programmatically
let vc = YourViewController()
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
presenting will present your VC on top of everything and not push it to the navigayionCOntroller.
You should push your VC to the NavigationController instead like so:
var rootViewController = self.window!.rootViewController as UINavigationController
let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
var profileViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("profile") as ProfileViewController
rootViewController.pushToViewController(profileViewController, animated: true)
presentViewController is a method that bring a modal view to your navigation, not part of the navigationController.
Instead you should use the pushToViewController method on the navigationController (and not creating a new one) like that :
if let navigationController = self.navigationController {
navigationController.pushViewController(locationVC, animated: true)
}
The presenting view controller is responsible for dismissing the view controller is presented. If you call this method on the presented view controller itself, UIKit asks the presenting view controller to handle the dismissal.
If you present several view controllers in succession, thus building a stack of presented view controllers, calling this method on a view controller lower in the stack dismisses its immediate child view controller and all view controllers above that child on the stack. When this happens, only the top-most view is dismissed in an animated fashion; any intermediate view controllers are simply removed from the stack. The top-most view is dismissed using its modal transition style, which may differ from the styles used by other view controllers lower in the stack.
If you want to retain a reference to the view controller's presented view controller, get the value in the presentedViewController property before calling this method.
#IBAction func backButtonAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
self.dismiss(animated: true)
}

I am trying to display a fix navigation bar for my UiTableViewController, I have a first ViewController and when I click on it, this will open my UITableViewController Here is the code of the click :
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MyTableViewController") as! MyTableViewController
vc.myObject = object // I pass some data
presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
the UItableView is correctly display but not navigation bar appear, if I add one, the navigation bar scroll with the table view and I don't want this behavior.
I tried this without success :
Go to the Editor menu, and click on the Embed In submenu, and choose
Navigation Controller
And tried to change some settings here :
Actually, in your case you want to show navigation and for navigation you have to push your view controller to a UINavigationController thats why the solution is :
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MyTableViewController") as! MyTableViewController
vc.myObject = object // I pass some data
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
presentViewController offers a mechanism to display a modal view controller; i.e., a view controller that will take full control of your UI by being superimposed on top of a parent controller & establish a parent child relation b/w presenting & presented view controllers.
where as
pushViewController offers a much more flexible navigation process where you can push & pop a new controller to UINavigationController, so to go back to the previous one, in a ordered way. Imagine that controllers in a navigation controller will just build a sequence from left to right like building a stack of view controllers stacking upon each other.
Do it this way:
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MyTableViewController") as! MyTableViewController
vc.myObject = object // I pass some data
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
I have an existing UITableViewController that I've embedded in a NavigationController. However, the Navigation Bar is not showing when I present the view.
Presenting the TableViewController (its Storyboard id is: SelectServicesController) :
if let selectServicesController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SelectServicesController") as? UITableViewController {
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(selectServicesController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
This is what it looks like when I build (nav bar does not show):
So I just did this and at fist could not get it to show up at all. Then Figured it out, You just need to select the navigation controller and set it to be the ✅is initial View Controller
This is what your storyboard should look like
Then to make everything show up I added this to my viewDidLoad of the view the Navigation controller is presenting. This step is more optional.
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.redColor()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.blackColor()]
navigationController?.navigationBar.hidden = false
And this is what it looks like
mmmm Red on black 🤓 Hope that helps you.
You're presenting a UITableViewController, which doesn't have a navigation controller as a parent (even though your Storyboard has it first, you're not actually using it).
You can fix this by doing something like this:
if let selectServicesController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SelectServicesController") as? UITableViewController {
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: selectServicesController)
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Or by setting the navigation controller as the initial view controller of the storyboard and then calling it like this:
if let selectServicesController = self.storyboard?.instantiateInitialViewController() {
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(selectServicesController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I encountered the same problem. I solved it by Changing the segue to the navigation controller that embeds the View Controller I want to display.
Hopefully it would work for you.
Let me know if it is a bad practice.
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Expense", bundle: Bundle(for: PTCAddExpenseViewController.self))
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier:"AddExpense") as! PTCAddExpenseViewController
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: controller)
self.present(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Adding this works for me:
self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false
You're presenting the table view controller directly, not its navigation controller. If you mark the nav controller as the initial view controller (tick the "Is initial view controller" box in the attributes inspector), then you can instantiate and show it by:
if let selectServicesNavController = self.storyboard?.instantiateInitialViewController() as? UINavigationController {
// if you're pushing it onto an existing nav controller
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(selectServicesNavController, animated: true, completion: nil)
// if not (and this is probably the case), set the nav controller as your window's rootViewController
UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow.rootViewController = selectServicesNavController
}
My guess is Xcode is ignoring the fact that your table view controller is embedded in navigation controller when presenting your table view controller with the following code:
if let selectServicesController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SelectServicesController") as? UITableViewController {
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(selectServicesController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Instead, I would suggest you modify the Top Bar setting under Simulated Metrics to suit your needs or instantiate your navigation controller instead (the latter is preferred and recommended)
In your code, change this line
self.navigationController?.presentViewController(selectServicesController, animated: true, completion: nil)
to this
self.presentViewController(selectServicesController, animated: true, completion: nil)
I read in one of your comments you want to present the table view controller modally, with the navigation bar showing. We can do this using the Storyboard. From the view controller that should display this table view controller modally, Ctrl+Drag from the view controller to the Navigation Controller of the Table View Controller. Then, select Present Modally. Set an Identifier for the segue. Then, in your code for the view controller that is presenting the table view controller modally, call:
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("YourSegueIdentifier", sender: nil)
Another way to do this without having to use any code is if the modal presentation is being triggered by something like a button. Then, you can Ctrl+Drag from that button to the Navigation Controller and select Present Modally.
Or it might be this!!
I had the same problem: the navigation bar was showing on the root view in Storyboard, but when running the Simulator - there was no navigation bar at the top of the views. This solved it:
Navigation Controller > Navigation Bar > UNCHECK Translucent (it is checked by default). This did two things:
My Navigation Bar shows on all subsequent views.
The topmost subview is now at Y=0, and not Y=64.
