I have added subview in a UIViewController and I want a new UIViewController Should be loaded on click of button.
Challenge is I am not able to use button in new UIViewController.
Code which I have write:
DetailsOfDayViewController *aViewController =[[DetailsOfDayViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailsOfDayViewController" bundle:nil];
aViewController.dateParsing = dateparsing;
[self addSubview:aViewController.view];
This will fix your issue. This is happening because your view controller is being deallocated when you don't have any strong pointers on it.
DetailsOfDayViewController *aViewController =[[DetailsOfDayViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailsOfDayViewController" bundle:nil];
aViewController.dateParsing = dateparsing;
[self addChildViewController:aViewController];
[self addSubview:aViewController.view];
Another fix will be connecting this view controller to a property:
#property(nonatomic,strong) DetailsOfDayViewController *aViewController;
And change your code like this:
self.aViewController = [[DetailsOfDayViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailsOfDayViewController" bundle:nil];
self.aViewController.dateParsing = dateparsing;
[self addSubview:self.aViewController.view];
For showing another controller you can following options
1. Add SubView
newViewControllerObj.view.frame = oldViewControllerObj(self).view.frame
[oldViewControllerObj(self).view.newViewControllerObj.view];
2. Present
[oldViewControllerObj(self) presentViewController: newViewControllerObj animated:YES completion:nil];
3. Push using Navigation (For this you already have to set navigation controller as root controller)
[oldViewControllerObj(self).navigationController pushViewController:newViewControllerObj animated:YES];

I have a view controller like in the image below:
And I am trying to present this view controller from another view controller like so:
LHPDFFile *vc = [[LHPDFFile alloc] init];
vc.previewItemURL = self->_previewItemURL;
UINavigationController *navBar=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self presentViewController:navBar animated:YES completion:nil];
This works, however my buttons are not appearing :(
It appears that the code above is creating a Navigation Controller instead of using mine with the buttons. What am I doing wrong?
Try instantiating your view controller with the storyboard. Something like:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"YourStoryboardName" bundle:nil];
LHPDFFile *vc = (LHPDFFile *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"<id of your view controller in the storyboard>"];
Calling the empty init method leads to empty instantiation of the view, because you have never mentioned that it should use this storyboard's this view controller. More details here.
You init none of your controllers from storyboard! Those buttons belongs to file view controller. You should init that controller from storyboard instead of call init.
MyViewController *vc = [[self storyboard] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: #"MyViewControllerStoryBoardID"];
UINavigationController *navBar = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self presentViewController:navBar animated:YES completion:nil];
I am using AddressBookUI Framework for Adding contact, when I tried to pushing this view controller then cancel and done button not working properly, I don't want to present it
Here is my code
ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:abnpvc animated:YES];
I am also tried add as subview rather then pushing it but when I am adding as subview then it was not added
As per comment i have tried like
UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:abnpvc];
[self presentViewController:navigation animated:YES completion:nil];
Can anyone help me out why properly not working ?
You can implement that too considering also the other answers and the deprecations to ABNewPersonViewController in iOS 9.
As per your remarks:
cancel and done button not working properly
They are working if you have included the ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate on interface like this:
#interface ViewController () <ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate>
Pushing the viewController on navigation stack like this:
ABNewPersonViewController *controller = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
controller.newPersonViewDelegate = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
And by conforming to the protocol by implementing this method:
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonView didCompleteWithNewPerson:(nullable ABRecordRef)person {
// Trick to go back to your view by popping it from the navigation stack when done or cancel button is pressed
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
The tricky line is to pop the newPersonController from the navigation stack when either Done or Cancel button are pressed.
Enjoy it
Why can't you just do it as the docs say?
It is recommended that you present a new-person view controller modally.
Use
ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
[self presentViewController:abnpvc animated:YES completion:nil];
That should work fine.
Edit
On second thought, did you set your delegate correctly and do the implementations get called? I suspect they are not implemented or the delegate is not set correctly.
Apple guideline(IMPORTANT) :: New-person view controllers must be used with a navigation controller in order to function properly. It is recommended that you present a new-person view controller modally.
Add Delegate
#interface ViewController () <ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate>
Pushing the viewController
ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:abnpvc];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
And Now Add Delegate Method
#pragma mark ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate methods
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonViewController didCompleteWithNewPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
That will work fine.
How do you switch between view controllers programatically in an effective manner?
I am currently utilising:
ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
However this does not display the items that I've inserted using the interface builder. Only the items I've inserted programatically.
I wish to do this, as I want to display a home button on each page.
Give your viewController identity in StoryBord
then into your code
UIViewController *documetController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MXDocumentViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:reviewListController animated:YES];
I'm trying to make an app using Interface Builder (instead of Storyboard) for the first time, but I'm stuck. Is it possible to change view using a ViewController in the same XIB?
I'd like that when I tap a button, the view changes to the other ViewController present in the same XIB file. Must I call back an action? If yes, which?
If you have 2 view controllers with 2 .xib files, like this
You can present the NextViewControler from your ViewController's button press method,
-(IBAction) yourButtonPressed:(id)sender;{
NextViewController *nextViewController = [[NextViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NextViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:nextViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
EDIT :
You can present the same viewcontroller like this.
-(IBAction) yourButtonPressed:(id)sender;{
ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
I usually create my view hierarchy's in IB but this time I need to do it in my code. Basically I already have my custom view but I want it to be contained inside a UINavigationController. So how can I do that?
If you wish to nest it in a Navigation controller you should use :
UIViewController * myViewController = [[GameController alloc] init];
myViewController.view = yourCustumeView;//if you are trying to add a UIView
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
[navigationController release];
[myViewController release];
Good luck
EDIT
add this code (before the release):
navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=nil;//change it to rightBarButtonItem if the button is on the right.
If you want to create several ViewControllers then you can allocate them in code and then in order to show them just push it like this:
RegistrationViewController * regView= [[RegistrationViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:regView animated:YES];
