intially select sw_front view controller swrevealviewcontroller - ios

I have two profile in my app. So after some initial profile setup, my app will start with different screens (firstVC or SecondVC).
So based on the initial (Consider Appdelegate :didfinish Method) setup, i wish to select "sw_front" to be firstVC or secondVC.
Every time firstVC is loaded first. If i wish to open SecondVC first, i tried is very simlpe code in viewWillAppear Method, may be incorrect:
UIViewController * sec = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SecondID"];
UINavigationController* nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:sec];
[self.revealViewController pushFrontViewController:nav animated:YES];
The issue is app directly enters firstVC, but I want it to enter directly in FirstVC or SecondVC, when needed.
Thanks, any help appreciated :)

May be you are coding wrong.Try below code when you are pushing.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = nil;
storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
SWRevealViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SecondID"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];

IOS/Objective-C/Storyboard: Prevent ViewController From Launching Modally

I want a viewcontroller to launch using a show transition, not modally from the bottom. Normally when I use the following code that's what happens. However, in this case, it is launching as a modal controller from the bottom up. Is there a switch I don't know about or could something be set in Storyboard that is causing this VC to launch modally from the bottom instead of showing?
UIStoryboard *storyBoard = self.storyboard;
IDImportEventsOnboard *importEvents =
[storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"importEventsOnboard"];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: importEvents];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion: nil];
The VC is embedded in a navigation controller.
Should I be using showViewController directly to the targetVC without going through the Nav? Or a pushViewController What is a proper, robust way to show a VC with a show transition?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
In the above code you are 'presenting' a new NavigationController from a ViewController. In order to do a push/show transition, that needs to be done on an instance of a NavigationController. If your current ViewController is already in a NavigationController, you can push the new ViewController onto the current NavigationController stack. For Example:
UIStoryboard *storyBoard = self.storyboard;
IDImportEventsOnboard *importEventsVC =
[storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"importEventsOnboard"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:importEventsVC animated:YES];

Display UIViewController as Popup without seguge

I used code from this question Display UIViewController as Popup in iPhone it is working fine but I don't want to use segue or I can say I can't use segue because all the code is created programmatically, so I cant set segue on button.
I used this code but it didn't work
- (IBAction)open:(id)sender {
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *newVC = (UIViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Second"];
[ViewController setPresentationStyleForSelfController:self presentingController:newVC];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:newVC animated:YES];
}
Edit 1:
View after popup
You should check if this VC self.navigationController is not nil. and i think you want to presentViewController: not pushViewController:...

Confused about storyboards and pushing programmatically ios Objective C

I am really confused about the relationship between storyboards and pushing to views programmatically.
I am using SWRevealViewController to display a menu of items.
If I push to the storyboard using
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
PhotosViewController *controller = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"PhotosViewController"];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
All of the information in my storyboard is displayed but there is no "back" button to the SWRevealViewController.
If I push to the view controller using
PhotosViewController *frontViewController = [[StreamScreen alloc] init];
newFrontController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:frontViewController];
Then I can view everything that I have added programmatically but nothing from the storyboard.
My question is how can I access things from both storyboard and things Ive added programmatically.
if you present the view controller then it will not give you default back button because when you present a controller it will not added in navigation stack of NavigationController so it won't give you that option.
If you want push controller do not use presentModalViewController.
Try like below
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
PhotosViewController *controller = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"PhotosViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
and if you want to present controller then create manually add a back button like we have default in navigation back button and on it's click write below code to dismiss the controller.
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Hope this helps you.

Adding a story board in Nav Controller

I have a ViewController which is inside NavigationController, lets call this VC ABCViewController. Now i have created a story board which is not inside the NavigationController. Now i want to push the storyboard inside the NavigationController when some button is pressed on the ABCViewController.
any Help.
First load your storyboard:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MyStoryboard" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myVC"];
Then Push the wanted UIViewController to your UINavigationController
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES]

Calling storyboard from UIViewcontroller

I don't know if this is possible or not but I wrote a project using xibs and want to modally switch to a storyboard project.
I know that to switch VC's you do something like
NewViewController *NewVC = [[NewViewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:NewVC animated:YES];
upon clicking a button, that I'll call "switch"
There is another project using solely storyboards that I want to call using "switch"
How do I go about doing this? Is it possible to do this?
Yes it is possible. You can do something like this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"YourStoryboardName" bundle:nil];
MainMenuViewController *mainmenuvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainMenuViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:mainmenuvc animated:YES];
EDIT
If I understand your comment, you want to change the root view controller. You can do so by:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"RVCStoryboard" bundle:nil];
MainMenuViewController *mainmenuvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainMenuViewController"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate].window.rootViewController = mainmenuvc;
Please note that for this to work, in your RVCStoryboard you have to select the viewcontroller you are trying to load, and assign a name to it so that the instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: method will work. Check the attached image, the field "Storyboard ID":
