segue between navigation controllers - ios

I have 2 navigation controllers. I want to perform segue from one to another and change navigation stack. I'm using SWRevealViewController library for my hamburger menu. When I perform segue as on picture, menu does't work. How can I perform segue correctly? (Sorry for my english) I couldn't find any post like this. I am using swift language.
here is my storyboard

You created a manuel segue from your first view controller to another. There is not a trigger(button etc.) to the initiate your segue. You have to initiate your segue with code. You can use this code for initiate your segue;
performSegueWithIdentifier("authComplete", sender: nil)
If you put this code with your any #IBAction it should be initiate your segue. Have a nice coding.

if let secondViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewControllerID") as? ViewController {
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: secondViewController)
navController.setViewControllers([secondViewController], animated:true)
self.revealViewController().setFrontViewController(navController, animated: true)

TabBar disappears when programatic segue

I want to segue to a new ViewController programatically but when I do my tabBar disappears.
if user == usernameStored && pass == passwordStored{
print("Good")
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "home")
self.present(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
From your code, this is not segue by programmatically. You actually present a viewController on top of whatever you have. Therefore the tabBarController is cover.
To use segue in code, it should be something like this. - homeSegueID is the identifier you give when you created the segue in storyboard.
performSegue(withIdentifier: "homeSegueID", sender: nil)
If you just want to do it programatically without segue, you could do this instead. (This assume your current ViewController is in a UINavigationController stack.
navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
Is the navigation controller wrapping your view controllers a tab bar controller, or did you just add the tab bar to your view controller? This is what you should be doing:

Why doesn't my UIButton segue behave like a UITableViewCell segue?

I am trying to create segues between my UIViewControllers but am having some difficulties with creating a segue from a UITableViewCell and a UIButton.
When I create a show detail segue through storyboard from a UITableViewCell to a UIViewController it works perfectly and I get the back button showing up. But when I try to create a show detail segue from a UIButton to a UIViewController it doesn't register the navigation stack and presents the screen modally without the back button.
How can I make a successful show detail segue from a UIButton to a viewcontroller? I am new to iOS and am having trouble determining why the UIButton segue doesn't behave the same as the UITableViewCell segue.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Dont connect a segue manually do it through button action.
This is assuming the viewController that has this button is the root view controller of the navigation controller
#IBAction func myButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
let vc = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "YOUR STORYBOARD IDENTIFIER GOE HERE")
self.show(vc, sender: self)
}
If you want to go to a tab of a tab bar controller you have to specify its index. I think you can set it in storyboard but i just go with 0 is on the left then they go up sequentially. so in the example below i want to go to the second tab of the tab bar controller with a modal transition. I assume you can use show here like example above I've just never done it.
let tbc = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "MyTabController") as! UITabBarController
tbc.selectedIndex = 1 // this is 2nd tab index.. start at 0
tbc.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
tbc.modalTransitionStyle = .coverVertical
self.present(tbc, animated: true, completion: { finished in
// you can also do some completion stuff in here if you require it.
// self.view.removeFromSuperview()
// self.navigationController?.navigationBar.removeFromSuperview()
})
let vc = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "StoryBoardID")
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

performSegueWithIdentifier doesn't work in a different ViewController

I have the following storyboard: Main Storyboard
In it, several custom View Controllers are programmatically embedded in the Scroll View. In one of them, a button is present and should trigger a segue to show the "hey" screen.
I have then wrote the following code:
#IBAction func addNewDateButtonDidTouched(sender :AnyObject) {
let mainStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let storyboardInit = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("mainview")
storyboardInit.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self)
}
This #IBAction seems to reload the inital view controller and perform the segue correclty (Xcode doesn't return any error). But the "hey" screen doesn't show up and its viewDidLoad() doesn't load.
Any hint?
Instead of calling
storyboardInit.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self)
try
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self)
The storyboardInit in your code will instantiate a UIViewController that has an identifier "mainview".
But this UIViewController hasn't been added to the screen, when you're asking the controller to perform a segue.
So, I wouldn't do that. What I would do, to segue to the hey screen is either :
Create a segue from the current controller and just do this in the code : self.performSegueWithIdentifier
Instantiate the hey controller like this : instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier, and then just do the self.presentViewController
So, to transition to a new controller, you have to start from the current controller.
if i understand your viewcontroller hierarchy correctly...
since the viewcontroller that contains the button to trigger the segue is a childviewcontroller of the viewcontroller that has the segue setup in storyboard i think you have to call presentingViewController?.performSegueWithIdentifier("showNewDate", sender: self).

How to move to existing viewcontroller from another viewcontroller

When I start the app my initial view is MainViewController.
Then on button click I move to AnotherViewController.
performSegueWithIdentifier("myFirstSegue", sender: self)
On AnotherViewController I have a button that should return me back to MainViewController but I don't want to instantiate new but to use existing instance.
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
var story = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MainViewController") as! ViewController
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: story)
self.showViewController(navigationController, sender: nil)
With this code I create new so I lost data that I stored on that view.
How can I get existing instance and just move to it?
UPDATE
To explain issue better if on first view I have UISwitch and move to another ViewController and then get back to first I want to UISwitch stay same not "reset".
if you are using a navigation controller, doing this will pop to your previous controller. navigationController.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
you can use this one
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil);
Navigation controller maintains the stack of viewcontrollers. just pop your viewcontroller and you will be back to your previous view controller.
navigationController.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
or use unwind segue from storyboard.
What are Unwind segues for and how do you use them?

Programmatically changing View Controllers without Navigation Controller Swift

I want to switch to a new view controller when I press a button without using a navigation controller and I can't seem to be able to do this. I have looked everywhere for an answer but everything that I have found is either in objective-c, using a navigation controller, or not working at all.
func gunsoutButtonPressed(sender:UIButton!) {
print("yay\t")
//let encounterVC:AnyObject! = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ecounterViewController")
//self.showViewController(encounterVC as UIViewController, sender: encounterVC)
let encounterViewController = self.storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("encounterViewController") as encounterViewController
self.pushViewController(encounterViewController, animated: true)
}
You have to connect the two ViewControllers you would like to use. Then name the segue however you want and then use the following code to trigger the segue (inside an IBAction or something). It is not completely programmatically but you can trigger them programmatically, which should be enough.
performSegueWithIdentifier("mySegue", sender: nil)
Check out this video for support.
Hope this helps :)
You cannot use a push segue without a UINavigationController. You could achieve this with a modal segue, such as this:
self.presentViewController(encounterViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Segue
So you use the Segue ID to make sure you segue correctly.
No Segue
I would suggest doing this instead though:
let vc = ViewControllerToSegueTo()
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
It is slightly better if you do not want to use the storyboard.
