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)
}

I have the following storyboards:
"Home" is the default view controller. When you press the button in the top left with three lines, the menu view controller slides out (it's like a side menu). Within the menu there are four table cells that represent menu items, as you can see. When a cell is pressed, I have a corresponding function that is called. I want the view controller on the far right to be presented when a cell is pressed.
Here's the issue: I want the far right view controller to inherit the properties of the Home view controller, such that the navigation title and button are still there. How can I achieve this?
Here's the solution:
Make sure that the navigation and right view controller are segued (Ctrl + Drag in Interface Builder)
Call the code stated in #bebzerk answer:
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let transition = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "RightViewController") as! RightViewController
navigationController?.pushViewController(transition, animated: true)
Now go back to Interface builder, and add a UINavigationItem and a UIBarButtonItem to the view controller. Set the image of the button to the three lines and set the title of the navigation item to the name you want displayed on the top.
In the ViewController Swift file for the right view controller, Ctrl + Drag the bar button item and create an IBAction function. This will be called when the menu button (on the far right view controller is pressed). For me, this class extends from HomeViewController, so in the function, just called the super method. It should look like this:
#IBAction override func menuTapped(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
super.menuTapped(UIBarButtonItem())
}
This should achieve the desired function.
Did you try this way ?
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let transition = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "RightViewController") as! RightViewController
navigationController?.pushViewController(transition, animated: true)
It should open your far right view controller and makes it inherit your home controller, like with a back button
Test it and tell me if it's good to you.
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.
I have created a simple tab bar with three views in storyboard. The tab bar works well, but when I try to show another view controller from a button within a tab, the new view is placed over the whole screen and also over the tab bar.
This is how I present the view so far when a button is pressed:
#IBAction func buttonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
let newVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "extraVC")
self.present(newVC!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
The other idea I had was this:
self.tabBarController?.present(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
But this didn't work either.
So how can I present another view controller within the tab bar (so that the bottom bar is still shown)?
When you present a view controller modally, its presentation style will be "Full Screen" by default. What you want to do is have it do in this case is just cover part of the screen (the part where the presenting view controller is drawn.
One way to accomplish this is to:
Set the modalPresentationStyle for the presented view controller to be .currentContext or .overCurrentContext
In the view controller that will be presenting the modal, set its definesContext property to true.
These steps can be done either in Interface Builder by setting attributes on the segue and the view controller, or you can modify your code to include the following:
#IBAction func buttonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
let newVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "extraVC")
self.definesPresentationContext = true
newVC?.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
self.present(newVC!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
What this combination of properties does is:
Indicate for the presented view controller that you want it to be presented in a non-full screen context (some specific section of the screen)
Indicate that the presenting view controller is in the section of the screen / the context you want the modal to be drawn according to.
More details can be found in the Apple Documentation
When you are using present method, the ViewController is presented modally and covers your UITabBarConntroller. Instead of showing your view modally you can embed every first view controller in your TabBar into UINavigationController and then use method pushViewController to push it onto stack. You will have your TabBar visible and nice looking animation for free.
In Xcode, I created a new project using the Tabbed App template to illustrate the solution above. This will create a project with a tabbar controller and two view controllers. I added a button with the title "view page" to the first view controller and embedded a navigation controller from the storyboard.
The storyboard will look like this after making the above changes:
In the FirstViewController.swift file, I created an IBAction for the button with the following code that will create another view controller called DetailViewController, with the title Favorites and a background color of orange. I used the navigation controller to present it by pushing it onto the navigation controller stack.
#IBAction func viewPageButtonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
print("viewPageButtonTapped")
let pinkViewController = DetailViewController()
pinkViewController.title = "Favorites"
pinkViewController.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange
navigationController?.pushViewController(pinkViewController, animated: true)
}
When I run the project on the simulator, I got the desired result. Hope this helps give you some ideas.
In your viewController do:
self.tabBarController?.present(nextViewController, animated: true/false, completion: {})
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)

Closed 6 years ago.
I'm having a hard time presenting a tab bar controller that is not the root view controller.
I have the current setup:
I want to press a button in my main view controller and be able to present the tab bar controller with the option to go back to the main view controller.
I tried creating a class of type UITabBarViewController, associating it to my Tab Bar Controller and just presenting it but it does not work.
I would like to present the tab bar controller with the favorites tab selected.
What I tried:
let vc = TabBar()
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
You can switch tabs by setting a selected index property of UITabBarController. Like this:
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1
You don't need to create new view controllers or perform segues if all you want is to switch between the two tabs.
You can do it in tow manner :
using segue :
Drag from button to the tabBarViewController And choose a type (Modal, Push(if your mainViewController is NavBarVC) ...)
from code :
click on your tabBarViewController and go to the attributes inspector and give your VC a storyboard id
and from code :
let mainST = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
let VC = mainST.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("idTabBar")
presentViewController(VC, animated: true, completion: nil)
Edit dismiss tabBar
if the tabBar is presented modally,
to dismiss it you have tow choices :
1) using a delegate :
protocol ExitMe {
func exitMe()
}
In the view controller presenter of the tabBar
extension PresenterOfTabBar: ExitMe{
func exitMe(){
dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
}
}
and in the tabBarViewController define an exitDelegate variable var exitDelegate: ExitMe! and set it's value from the presenter. When the user click a button to exit tabBar you just call exitDelegate.exitMe()
using an unwindFuction when presenting modally using a segue:
in the presenter you define a function like this
#IBAction func unwindFromTabBar(sender: UIStoryboardSegue){
// do what you want here
}
and in the InterfaceBuilder drag from the the button that should exit the tabbar to the exit in the view controller dock then choose the func unwindFromTabBar.
Others solutions may exist (using notification, get the prsenter View controllers ....) you should pick the suitable one...
