I am using google maps SDK. They have a neat feature where you press a UIButton to call the following method and a VC is presented from the right hand side to the left hand side just like how you would do with Segue. But the difference is that there was no segue or anything that I need to call myself and the google function does it automatically, The new VC also comes with navigation bar with back button. I noticed that the navigation bar is different to the one from previous VC and the back button is also different. I want to do the same for one of my current VC and by implementing a function that achieves the same effect (And I do not want to use segue for some reason that would be off topic here). I am thinking how google have done it might be
Possible solution? Present a newVC to with transition type from right to left and Allow that VC to have it's own navigation bar (Or perhaps that might just be a UIView with back button (I am not sure). However, that VC needs to be able to be dismissed either by pressing back button or dragging the screen from left edge to right (And is also able to be held half way like the image below). And the dismiss transition type when back button is pressed is from left to right just like normal navigation Bar dismiss Segue.

My client wanted a navigation drawer (hamburger menu) on the top-left corner of the navigation bar (yes, they know it's not adherent to the iOS design principles, but they want regardless).
I have the hamburger setup as a custom icon with a segue that pushes to the menu viewcontroller (MenuViewController)
The problem was the client said it slid out from the right, and closes to the left (which is standard with Apple). They want to reverse it.
So I need to reverse both animations (slide in, and slide out)
To do the first part, I followed this, which worked perfectly:
iOS Segue - Left to Right -
So now after applying that custom code it slides in beautifully from the left.
But now I want the drawer to slide back to the left, but of course by default it goes to the right when I click the < navigation arrow on the top of MenuViewController.
Any ideas how I could go about reversing this? I was thinking custom unwind segue, but I don't actually HAVE a segue on the storyboard because this is just a back button being generated as a result of pushing the MenuViewController to the navigation stack.
My guess is to create some sort of override for unwind on the MenuViewController.swift file, but I haven't had success so far.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Let's say we've got a few UIViewControllers on the stack of our UINavigationController
How can I define the UIViewController (instead of the previous one) the back button should pop to? (so basically pop two or more instead of one)
Maybe I want the back button to pop back to the root view controller, or just 2 view controllers before.
I know I could create a custom left bar button, but that looses the nice leftwards arrow in the button. And I don't want to use a png graphic to get that arrow back.
Edit:
I want to know how to pop to a certain UIViewController when pressing the back button in the navigation bar. I know how to pop to a certain controller, but not how to have the back button do it.
When you are pushing the viewControllers push all the ones that you may want to go back to and then use popToViewController:animated: to go back to the one that you want. Or use popToRootViewControllerAnimated: to go back all the way to the rootViewController.
I have a UIButton on the far left of a view controller (on a XIB), of say 100 points wide.
If the view controller is on a regular tab (i.e. not pushed on navigation stack) the button highlights as expected when tapped.
However, when the view controller is on a More-tab (so pushed on the navigation stack), the button is not highlighted when tapped on its left side (say the left most 50 points). The button does function, it's action is being called. But, when tapped on the right side it does highlight. (BTW, I think this is a general issue when the view controller is pushed from any other view controller; does probably not have to be More tab.)
After some research it turns out it's when I tap in the left screen area with which you can iOS-7-slide back to the parent view. Any ideas why this is, and how to make the button work properly again.
Thanks for your time!
I can confirm this bug with almost no code at all. All you need is an image file to serve as the background image. In the storyboard set this up:
Navigation Controller -> (root view controller) ViewController -> Button -> push segue... ->
ViewController2 -> Button
Put the second button up against the left side of its containing view (ViewController2's view) and set the image file as its highlighted background image.
Now run the app and tap the first button, to summon the second view controller's view. Tap the button at its right side: the highlighted background image appears. Now tap the button at its left side: the highlight background image does not appear, but the button is in fact receiving the tap (you can confirm that by giving it an action method that logs).
So, I would say you've got yourself a legitimate bug and you should report it to Apple. I'm certainly going to!
Unless you require the iOS 7 swipe-to-pop gesture, you can fix this bug by disabling that gesture recognizer:
self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
I am a newbie to IOS programming and currently i have a tab bar application with two tabs. I have two questions.
The first tab shows a map, imagine it with some pushpins. There is a button on the navigation bar and when this is clicked i want the map view to to move out and a list view to come in. You can see the UI from the image. The button is called list.
Now when i click list I want this view to go away and the list view to come in. So here are my questions ?
1) How do i do this ? I tried the navigation model but i don't want that because I do not want a back button. I tried to make two different views and just dragged the button to that view but the app crashes. I just want the list button on the nab bar and when clicked the view changes to the list view and the button text changes to map. So now if I click the button again it should go back to the map view and the button changes to list.
2) How do i achieve the animations for this ? Ive seen some app where the page flips around and I've seen some options like reducing the opacity etc but I want to achieve the flip animation.
Thank You for any help I get. I really appreciate it.
Interface Builder can do most of this. Hold down the control key and drag from your map View Controller's UIBarButtonItem titled "List" to your list View Controller, then choose the Action Segue "modal". An arrow appears representing the segue; click on it and use the Attributes Inspector to change the Transition to "Flip Horizontal". Here's a video
Or, you could do this programmatically with presentViewController:animated:completion.
Now to get back to the map from the list, I believe that must be done programatically. Create a method that calls dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: and make your list View Controller's UIBarButtonItem titled "Map" trigger it.
After reading your comments, I am wondering... if the structure of your app is logically a tabbed app structure (as indeed you refer to it as a 'tab bar application'), shouldn't you consider using the UITabViewController instead of a NavigationController? That is what it is designed to do, after all.
If you do use a TabViewController you should reconsider your desire for flip animation, as that doesn't really make UI-sense for tabs. If you can dispense with the flip animation, TabViewController could be a good way to go and you should at least experiment with that before dismissing the idea. It is also designed to grow... you can incorporate any number of tabs in a tab bar. Check out the apple docs (with pictures!)
You will notice that tabs are at the foot of the screen, whereas your 'tab' navController buttons are in a navbar at the top of the screen. This also helps as your app grows, as it is straightforward - from a UI design point of view and programmatically - to incorporate navControllers as navigation tools within individual tabs. For example, if your map/list flip routine does indeed make sense for this part of you app, you can keep this as a single tab (in it's own navigationController) and add other tabs for other parts of the app...
update
From your comment, you are saying that you are interested in the navController-inside-tabBarController setup. In this case here are some ways to get flip transitions AND no back button..
(1) modal presentation
The easiest way to get what you want is to set up one of your viewControllers (say the map view) to present the other one (the list view) modally.
If in the storyboard:
embed your mapViewController in a navController with a navbar button for navigation to the listView as in your picture
add your listViewController to the storyboard and embed it in it's own navContoller (not the mapViewController's navController). Drag a barButtonItem to this navController and wire it up to an IBAction in listViewController
CTRL-drag from mapViewController's 'list' button to the listViewController to create a segue. Select the segue and in the attributes inspector set the segue type to 'modal', with transition 'flips horizontal' and 'animated' checked. Give it a name in case you want to refer to it in code.
in the listViewController's IBAction add this:
[[self presentingViewController] dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
That should achieve your result. You can use the completion block to send information back from the list view to the map view, and/or set the map view as the listView's delegate.
If you are not using the storyboard check this apple guide
Presenting View Controllers from Other View Controllers
especially "Presenting a View Controller and Choosing a Transition Style".
There is one catch with this approach - when the presented view flips onto the screen, the entire previous view, including the tab bar, is flipped out of the way. The idea is that this is a modal view which the user is required to dismiss before doing anything else in the app.
(2) push/pop in a single navController If this does not suit your intent, you can navigate using a single NavigationController with push and popping of views, and you can hide the back button ... but you really would need to keep the back button functionality as you do want to go back to the mapView, not on to a new map view.
To hide the back button try:
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES
in the uppermost viewControllers' viewDidLoad
Then you can add a barButtonItem in the xib/storyboard, with this kind of IBAction:
[self popViewControllerAnimated:NO]
or
[self popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO]
You would have to construct the flip animation in code as it is not supported as a built-in with UINavigationController (best left as an exercise for the reader!)
(3) swapping views in a single viewController As ghettopia has suggested, you could use a single viewController inside a navController (or with a manually place navBar) and swap two views around using the UIView class methods
transitionFromView:toView:duration:options:animations:completion
transitionWithView:duration:options:animations:completion.
This could be a good simplifying solution as your list and map are essentially two views of the same data model.
i am making one iOS tabbar application in that i have put 4 different tabs and whenever i click on 1 st tab and load another view after clicking of the first tab. After that when i press back button then tabbar is not displaying .So that i want hint that how can i show that
back the tabbar when we move from one tab from another and yes how i can use consistent the tabbar in whole application can you just guys help me on this i am new to iOS development.
here i am put the screen shot ...
here first screen is this one..
when i tap the video button that are first in the view then another window open
which are as under and see the tabbar is not there...
when in video controller there is tabbar is there but i drag and connect to that then tabbar is disabled
Looking at your screen snapshots, do I correctly assume you're attempting to transition to the "Videos" scene by touching the big "Videos" button in the center of the "Home" scene (rather than touching the tab bar button at the bottom of the screen, which I assume works fine)? If that's the case, you need to have your button tell the view controller's tab bar controller that you want to change the index of the tab bar, and it takes care of it for you. You cannot do the transition using a segue (or at least not without a custom segue, which is even more complicated than the procedure I outline below). If you're changing the view some other way (e.g. using a standard segue or using presentViewController, pushViewController programmatically, etc.), your tab bar can disappear on you.
You later said:
when in video controller there is tabbar is there but i drag and connect to that then tabbar is disabled
Yes, that's true. You cannot use a segue from one of your big buttons to one of the tabs in your tab bar. (Or technically, if you wanted to use a segue, it would be a custom segue which would do something very much like my below code, though perhaps a tad more complicated.) So, rather than using a segue for your big button, you need to write an IBAction (connected to the big Videos button on the Home scene), that tells the tab bar to change its selection:
- (IBAction)clickedVideosButton:(id)sender
{
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
}
A couple of comments:
My answer was predicated on the assumption that your tab bar works as expected when you tap on the buttons of the tab bar, itself. If you tap the buttons at the bottom of the screen, do you transition to your other views correctly and preserve the tab bar? If so, my answer above should solve your issues in getting the big buttons to work. If not, though, then the problem rests elsewhere and you need to show us your code that might account for that (either you're something non-standard in the UITabBarControllerDelegate methods, or your viewDidLoad of the view is doing something nonstandard).
If I understand your user interface design right, you have the tab bar at the bottom as well as the big buttons in the middle, which presumably do the same thing. That is, no offense, a curious user interface design (duplicative buttons, requiring extra tap on a button, etc.). You might want to choose to either use either big buttons (in which you can retire the tab bar, eliminate the IBAction code I've provided above, and just use a nice simple navigation controller and push segues, for example), or just use the tab bar (and lose the home screen, lose the big buttons, etc.).
You also made reference to "press back button", and I don't see any "back" button on any of your screen snapshots. Do I infer that you have a navigation controller and you're doing a pushViewController or push segue somewhere? If you're doing something with back buttons, you might need to clarify your question further.
