In Short :
How can I PushViewController from Presented ViewController ?
In Brief :
I have MainViewController, In which I have one button on click of button, I am presenting a view called LoginViewController.
On this page (LoginViewController), I again have button, on click of that, I try to push my view controller(called HomeViewController) it doesn't pushes.
Here is my code snippet,
MainViewController.m
- (IBAction)LoginClicked:(id)sender {
LoginViewController *vc = [[LoginViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
LoginViewController.m
- (IBAction)buttonActionMethodOnLoginView:(id)sender{
NSLog(#"viewControllers %#",APPDELEGATE.nav.viewControllers);
//LoginViewController is not in this array
HomeViewController *obj = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj animated:YES];
}
But it did not works for me. Also, I printed a stack of view controllers before pushed, but it doesn't have LoginViewController. So, without adding LoginViewController into a stack of view controllers, How can I pushed to HomeViewController from LoginViewController ?
When I getBack from HomeViewController, then LoginViewController should get opened..
Is it possible using doing this single NavigationController?
Note:- Here, I have just taken an example using Login, Home and Main ViewController. But I want that into Other Screens.
hi when you are Presenting you Login view controller Just present a navigationController like:
LoginVC *loginVCObj =[[LoginVC alloc]initWithNibName:#"LoginVC" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginVCObj];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
Now your PresentedViewController is An navigtioncontroller
now you can simply push to your Home VC
HomeViewController *obj = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj animated:YES];
Hope it will helpful for you
LoginViewController should not be pushed to navigation controller stack. Let me describe below "why".
Our MainViewController should be on the stack - you always want to go back there.
// AppDelegate.m (only if you don't use storyboards, if you do - you don't need to copy this part of code)
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// create the window
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self.window setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
// set view controllers
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[MainViewController alloc] init]];
[self.window setRootViewController:navigationController];
}
On specific action show LoginViewController. You don't want the user to be able to tap back and go to MainViewController. Later, you won't want user to go back to LoginViewController. Because of this, you need to present it as modal:
// inside `MainViewController.m`
- (IBAction)myCoolActionToShowLogin:(id)sender {
[self presentViewController:[[LoginViewController alloc] init] animated:YES completion:nil];
}
Now we can see LoginViewController. When user completes the login, dismiss it and present HomeViewController:
// inside `LoginViewController.m`
- (IBAction)myAwesomeActionToShowHome:(id)sender {
UINavigationController *navigationController = (UINavigationController *)[UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow rootViewController];
[navigationController pushViewController:[[HomeViewController alloc] init] animated:YES];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
NOTES:
As you may notice, myAwesomeActionToShowHome: expects you have navigation controller as your rootViewController. This is working, but should be nicer - you should check if that navigation is in fact navigation controller instead of casting it. Or you may create a delegate or block to push new one. This is the fastest, easiest working solution, which should be improved later.
You really should read: Apple Developer -> "View Controller Programming" documentation, as these are the core fundamentals you should know to develop & design UX correctly.
Here is the working demo sample.
You can't push from a presented view controller. I suggest, you should maintain your navigation hierarchy.
For that, from your MainViewController, you should present LoginViewController and you should pass navigation controller for the MainViewController.
- (IBAction)openLogin:(id)sender {
LoginViewController *loginVC = (LoginViewController *) [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"login"];
[loginVC setReferencedNavigation:self.navigationController];
[self presentViewController:loginVC animated:YES completion:nil];
}
Then inside LoginViewController, you should push to HomeViewController like this,
LoginViewController.h
#interface LoginViewController : UIViewController {
UINavigationController *refNavigationController;
}
- (void) setReferencedNavigation:(UINavigationController *)refNavCon;
LoginViewController.m
- (void) setReferencedNavigation:(UINavigationController *)refNavCon {
refNavigationController = refNavCon;
}
- (IBAction)openHome:(id)sender {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
UIViewController *homeVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"home"];
[refNavigationController pushViewController:homeVC animated:YES];
}];
}
By doing this, it will be look like, you're pushing from LoginViewController but in reality you're pushing from MainViewController.
You can customize this approach to maintain animation and UI for this flow.
1) present a navigation controller with itsroot view controller` set as view controller .
- (IBAction)LoginClicked:(id)sender
{
LoginViewController *loginViewController = [LoginViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginViewController];
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (IBAction)buttonActionMethodOnLoginView:(id)sender
{
HomeViewController *obj = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj animated:YES];
}
Hope it will work for you.
The problem is that LoginViewController has no navigation controller. Then you give it one.
MainViewController.m
Create a UINavigationController, put LoginViewController in to the stack and present the UINavigationController.
- (IBAction)LoginClicked:(id)sender {
LoginViewController *vc = [[LoginViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController = nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
nav.viewControllers = #[vc];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}
LoginViewController.m
- (IBAction)buttonActionMethodOnLoginView:(id)sender{
HomeViewController *obj = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj animated:YES];
}
Dismiss
Call dismissViewControllerAnimated in your MainViewController.
For Swift 3.0
Present your view controller as a new rootViewController
let navController = UINavigationController.init(rootViewController: self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SignInViewController"))
self.present(navController, animated: true, completion: {})
Now push your view controller from presented view controller
self.show(self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SignUpViewController"), sender: self)
Create a UINavigationController instance
[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[LoginViewController alloc] init]]
Present that navigationController and then push whatever VC you want to.
MainViewController.m
- (IBAction)LoginClicked:(id)sender {
LoginViewController *vc = [[LoginViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *loginNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self presentViewController:loginNav animated:YES completion:nil];
}
LoginViewController.m
- (IBAction)buttonActionMethodOnLoginView:(id)sender{
NSLog(#"viewControllers %#",APPDELEGATE.nav.viewControllers);
//LoginViewController is not in this array
HomeViewController *obj = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:obj animated:YES];
}
You have to Push from your firstView (MainViewController), but you can use animation same as PresentView and DismissView. Use following code for this :-
For Push (on MainViewController)
LoginViewController *VC = [[LoginViewController alloc]init];
CATransition* transition = [CATransition animation];
transition.duration = 0.3f;
transition.type = kCATransitionMoveIn;
transition.subtype = kCATransitionFromTop;
[self.navigationController.view.layer addAnimation:transition
forKey:kCATransition];
[[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:VC] pushViewController:VC animated:NO];
//[self.navigationController pushViewController:VC animated:NO];
For Pop (on LoginViewController)
CATransition* transition = [CATransition animation];
transition.duration = 0.3f;
transition.type = kCATransitionReveal;
transition.subtype = kCATransitionFromBottom;
[self.navigationController.view.layer addAnimation:transition
forKey:kCATransition];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:NO];
Using this code, you can get animation same as Present-Dismiss ViewControllers. Refer this answer for more details.
And after that, you can use your code for Pushing LoginViewController to HomeViewController
Hope, this is what you're looking for. Any concern get back to me. :)
This is very simple code for present view controller and push view controller.
- (IBAction)LoginClicked:(id)sender {
LoginViewController *objLogicVC = [LoginViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navPresent = [UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:objLogicVC];
[self presentViewController:navPresent animated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (IBAction)buttonActionMethodOnLoginView:(id)sender{
HomeViewController *objHomeVC = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:objHomeVC animated:YES];
}
simply put this code in objective c on button action
UIViewController *yourViewControllerName = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"yourViewControllerName "];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:yourViewControllerName animated:YES];
SecondViewController *testAppViewController2Obj =[[SecondViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"TestAppViewController2" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:testAppViewController2Obj animated:YES];
ContainerViewController *container = [[ContainerViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:container];
UINavigationBar *navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, 65)];
container.navigationItem.title = #"Frames";
self.window.rootViewController = nav;
i hope it works
In order to push a new view controller you should first create a view controller, VC1, link it with a navigation controller and then link the navigation controller to the rootViewController in the AppDelegate
#AppDelegate
FirstViewController *VC1 = [FirstViewController new];
UINavigationController *nVC = [UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:VC1];
self.window.rootViewController = nVC;
Then when VC1 gets pushed, you can create another view controller and push it like this:
#Now in VC1
SecondViewController *VC2 = [SecondViewController new];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:VC2 animated:YES];
I have a tab bar controller created by a MainWindow.xib. I have 4 view controllers in it. Now i want to add a 5th item programatically (because I dont know which class I will have to use until compile time)
This is my code:
UIViewController * login = [[LoginUserViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginUserViewController" bundle:nil];
NSMutableArray * viewControllersArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:self.tabBarController.viewControllers];
[viewControllersArray addObject:login];
[self.tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllersArray
animated:YES];
But I get
[LoginUserViewController viewControllers]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x95791b0'
When I reach this code
UINavigationController *navController = [tabBarController.viewControllers lastObject];
LoginViewController * log = [navController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
Where am I going wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
If this is all your code, it does not look like you are instantiating the navigation controller. Look at:
initWithRootViewController:
in the UINavigatorClass. I would replace:
UINavigationController *navController = [tabBarController.viewControllers lastObject];
with:
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: [tabBarController.viewControllers lastObject]];
Edit:
One more thoughts:
Looks like you lucked out on the "tabBarController" property since you might have synthesized it as #synthesize tabBarController=tabBarController;
I strongly recommend you use the latest version of XCode which will automatically do the #synthesize for you. The line before last in your code should be self.tabBarController
You forgot that last tab is LoginUserViewController and not an instance of UINavigationController.
After adding LoginUserViewController to tab bar controller, your last view controller in tab bar controller's array will be LoginUserViewController and not an instance of UINavigationController
UINavigationController *navController = [tabBarController.viewControllers lastObject];
Hence above line will return LoginUserViewController's object in navController variable.
RecordsViewController *recordsViewController = [navController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
Hence above line will cause crash as LoginUserViewController don't have viewControllers property.
Try this....
- (void) setUpTabBar {
FirstViewController *firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc]init];
firstViewController.title = #"First View";
firstViewController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemSearch tag:0];
UINavigationController *firstNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];
SecondViewController *secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc]init];
secondViewController.title = #"Second View";
secondViewController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemFavorites tag:1];
UINavigationController *secondNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:secondViewController];
ThirdViewController *thirdViewController = [[ThirdViewController alloc]init];
thirdViewController.title = #"Third View";
thirdViewController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemRecents tag:2];
UINavigationController *thirdNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:thirdViewController];
ForthViewController *forthViewController = [[ForthViewController alloc]init];
forthViewController.title = #"Forth View";
forthViewController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemHistory tag:2];
UINavigationController *forthNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:forthViewController];
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
tabBarController.viewControllers = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:firstNavController, secondNavController, thirdNavController, forthNavController, nil];
tabBarController.delegate = self;
[self sizeViewToAvailableWindow:[tabBarController view]];
[firstNavController release];
[firstViewController release];
[secondNavController release];
[secondViewController release];
[thirdNavController release];
[thirdViewController release];
[forthNavController release];
[forthViewController release];
}
I'm trying to add a UINavigationController to my existing view controller by adding this in ViewDidLoad:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
[self.view addSubview:navController.view];
}
But by doing it this way, it completely blocks my view. It puts a UINavigationBar on the top but the rest of the view doesn't respond to input.
This is how I am presenting the view. The SecondViewController is the one I want to have a NavController:
UITabBarController *tabController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
FirstViewController *viewController1 = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"CardsViewController" bundle:nil];
UITabBarItem *tab1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"First"
image:[UIImage imageNamed:#"img1.png"] tag:1];
[viewController1 setTabBarItem:tab1];
SecondViewController *viewController2 = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ShoppingViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *SecondViewNavCont = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:viewController2];
UITabBarItem *tab2 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Second"
image:[UIImage imageNamed:#"img2.png"] tag:2];
[SecondViewNavCont setTabBarItem:tab2];
UIViewController *viewController3 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UITabBarItem *tab3 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Third"
image:[UIImage imageNamed:#"img3.png"] tag:3];
[viewController3 setTabBarItem:tab3];
tabController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1,
viewController2,
viewController3,
nil];
[self.view addSubview:tabController.view];
You cannot add it to the current view controller
What you need to do is instead of presenting the ViewController is to add this viewcontroller to the navigationview controller and present that
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:YourPresentedViewController];
//then present the navController
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
Now when you present it do the following
NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1,
SecondViewNavCont,
viewController3,
nil];
You can try this code for load uiviewcontroller to uinavigationcontroller:
yourviewController *viewcontroller=[[yourviewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"yourviewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
(or) you want to load uinavigationcontroller in application startup try below code in your application delegate class:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller.view];
[self.window addSubview:navController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Welcome!
You need to set the RootViewController for the navController object. Then further you can push UIViewcontroller objects using pushViewController method.
You need to add a view for that Navigation Controller. The added Navigation Controller has no view so it was overlaying on the UIViewController
You need to add
[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewControllerName" bundle:nil];
I'm currently pushing my main UIViewController from appDelegate with this code:
HomeViewController *homeViewController = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:homeViewController animated:YES];
//self.navigationController.view = homeViewController.view;
[homeViewController release];
However, I want it to be the root of the UINavigationController controllers stack, while it is currently possible to move back to another root view controller.
Thanks
You can use this method:
- (void)setViewControllers:(NSArray *)viewControllers animated:(BOOL)animated
For example:
HomeViewController *homeViewController = [[HomeViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObject:homeViewController] animated:YES];
[homeViewController release];
