I am working with UISplitViewController. I have UISplitViewController which contain UITabBarController. So I want to display tab bar in all the screen through out the application (Even in detail screen of UISplitViewController for iPhone). Please see the approach:
use segue to move from one controller to another controller or move via navigation so in the next controller your tabbar will be show
just like if u want to move from A to B Controller set stroyboard id ie "SecondVc"
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SecondVc")
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
or just make connection using storyboard

the thing is im new to ios development this is my second application while working on the first one i mainly used a theme and then worked over it but this one im working from scratch.
My main problem is going from one screen to another
When i use this code it works
let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)
let nextViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "servicesScreen") as! ServiceViewController
nextViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
self.present(nextViewController, animated:true, completion:nil)
But i need to use this one so i can go back too but this wont do anything
let storyBoard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let newViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "servicesScreen") as! ServiceViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(newViewController, animated: true)
My question is, am i doing anything wrong here or do i need to add something in scenedeligate?
try
select Main.storyboard
select initial view Controller
select editor -> Embed in -> navigation controller.
For this, you need to add navigation controller to initial storyboards.
If you are using navigationController you need to add a navigation controller first on storyboard or programmatically.
Programmatically add navigation controller check this link:-
Creating a navigationController programmatically (Swift)
or
To add navigation controller on storyboard you should follow this link:-
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/ImplementNavigation.html
If you have added navigation controller to your app then make sure your intialViewController is set to navigation controller or your navigation controller is added to the stack when you run your application.
Also check for "Is the identifier correct? Did you reference the correct storyboard?".
I have an app that I need to display a pin code screen every time the app is opened. I'm successfully displaying the modal view, but it doesn't cover the navigation bar at the top, and it doesn't cover the tab bar at the bottom. I believe it's because of how I'm presenting it, but I'm not seeing a way to change it.
This is how I'm presenting the controller
let newVC = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LoginView")
let view = window?.rootViewController as! UITabBarController
view.selectedViewController?.show(newVC, sender: nil)
This is the storyboard to give you an idea of the app.
The problem is your use of UIViewController's api, show. The function is overridden by UINavigationController in this case and push will be used to present the view controller. If your plan is to modally present a view controller, rather use present
selectedViewController?.present(newVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
I have created a TabBarController with 4 UIViewControllers. However, when I want to show one of the ViewControllers in the TabBarController with:
func gotoMainAppVC()
{
let mainVC:SearchVC = SearchVC()
self.present(mainVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I only get a plain black screen. What am I doing wrong?
This is not how any of this works.
I am not sure what self is in your context but I expect it is either a tab bar controller or one of the view controllers on the tab bar.
By calling present it means you want to present a view controller on a current one which by default brings a new fullscreen view controller from bottom upwards.
Since you have created a new instance of view controller by calling SearchVC() this is not the view controller that you see in your storyboard. You may create any instances of any of your view controllers but in your case if you designed SearchVC in a storyboard you want to actually use that version of it. To do so you need to set storyboard id inside your storyboard. After you have done that you should initialise it as using:
UIStoryboard(name: <#T##String#>, bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: <#T##String#>)
as in
let mainVC:SearchVC = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "TheIDIHaveSet") as! SearchVC
But again this will not give you the view controller that is inside your tab bar but create a new instance. And it will not instert it as one of the tabs but present a new full screen view controller.
I got the problem is I cannot make go back previous ViewController of different storyboard from NavigationController in TabViewController.
I've already tried with
_ = navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
unfortunately, it does not work. And I know that it can be going back with segue but it's not good practice. Please let me know how to do it. Thanks. Following is my hierarchy.
I had the same issue. In this case I am on a different Storyboard and want to return to the Main Storyboard and present the first view controller. Since this controller is embedded in a Navigation Controller that is embedded in a Tab Bar controller, you must instantiate the Tab Bar Controller. Be sure to set the indentifier on the Tab Bar Controller as "TabBarController"... or whatever you like.
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "TabBarController") as! UITabBarController
self.present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
I have navigationController embedded VC(Viewcontroller) in storyboard 1 which is connected to storyboard reference of storyboard 2.
Now, I have VC2 which is again NavController Embedded in storyboard 2.
I am performing the following code :
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Settings", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "setEdit") as? EditProfile
navigationController?.pushViewController(vc!, animated: true)
settings is storyboard 2, setEdit is ID from navigationController of the destination VC.
When I execute this code, It doesnt perform the presentation of new controller. Also, I have a custom segue class that transitions VCs from Right to Left.
when I use :
present(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
It just pushes the VC from bottom to top.
Now I am totally out of Ideas.
My query is:
How can I exactly implement custom segue from one storyboard to another, having navigation bar at the top.
When you use UINavigationController the transition is showed as you said from right to left (push), when you present a view controller modally the presentation style and the transition style are different. Now you cannot connect two navigation controllers, so I suggest to connect directly the controller in the settings storyboard without embedding it in another navigation controller. In settings storyboard you have to set your EditProfileVC as initial view controller and check its identifier and then you can push it from your first storyboard.
