I'm looking to create an application with 4 screens. The first screen will have a tab bar controller with two tabs. The second tab will go to 3rd screen. The 3rd screen will be a table view and when a cell is clicked, will push to the 4th screen and then I want to have a back button on 4th screen to navigate back to 3rd screen. The first screen will have a button that segues to the second screen and from the second screen there is a button that segues to 3rd screen which is the table view. The second screen should also have a back button to go back to first screen. How can I implement this via StoryBoard?
There are a lot of tutorials in the Apple developer site... but also on youtube... search for "Storyboard ios" you can find a step by step tutorial on how to manage the tableview controller and additional tableview to show details. I suggest also to look at http://www.raywenderlich.com/
What I understand so far from your question. You should first drag a Tab bar controller, that will by default have 2 tabs. Now on 1st tab or 1st view controller, place a button and make its push relation with the view controller you want. 2nd tab will open 3rd screen. Place a table view in it(view controller with 2nd tab or item). Make push relation from table view cell to the 4th screen(drag view controller and embed this view with navigation Controller). Embed all those views with navigation controller form where you want to turn back to previous view controller. Hope this is what you wanted.
I have figured out my issue. I wasn't using push to segue with my navigation controller and that was throwing everything off. Thanks for the help!

I have a tabbed based iOS application. The fourth tab is linked to a UINavigationController. When I navigate to the home tab from the fourth tab, the UI elements of the home tab are pushed down. However, if I rotate the phone to landscape and then back to portrait, everything has moved up and is in the correct place.
In Storyboard, I set the top bar to none. I have the UINavigationBar hidden in the fourth tab/view controller before I navigate to the home tab.
Why would it be that the rotation fixes the constraints? How can I fix the UI elements such that they are not pushed down in the first place?
Here is a screen shot of my storyboard:
Your question doesn't really make sense. A 4th tab would not be embedded in a navigation controller. Instead, the 4th tab would link to a navigation controller. When you first select that tab you'd see the root view controller and it's navigation bar item. If you pushed a new view controller it would get pushed onto the navigation controller in tab 4. If you switch to one of the other tabs then the navigation controller will be swapped away and it's navigation bar will no longer be visible. Swap back to tab 4 you'll see it again, complete with it's navigation bar.
I created a sample app in order to confirm what I'm describing, as I haven't used tab bar controllers a lot, and not in quite a while I can upload the project if you really need to see it. It only contains a couple of lines of code (to implement the button on the navigation controller's view controller that creates and pushes a new view controller.)
I wanna know how to create nested UITabBarControllers in Xcode, I'm using Swift.
My first UITabBarController has two items: Search (UITableView) and Map (MKMapView).
When I hit a cell in my table I wanna go to the second UITabBarController.
This second UITabBarController is the detail page for the clicked cell and must have three items --> Info, Reviews and Contact.
Can anyone explain how to do this? Right now I only have the first UITabBarController and a single view controller for the detail page working.
EDIT: The main problem is that when I nest the UITabBarControllers, my app always shows the items of the first UITabBarController.
Make another Tab View Controller next to it (You should see two tab view controllers on the storyboard), and then inside the Tab View Controller you want the other one in, insert a Container View. After the Container View is in the desired Tab View Controller and sized properly, hold control and drag from the Container View to the other Tab View Controller. After releasing, select embed and you should be good to go! Hope this helps. If it does, please vote this up :)
I found the answer by myself.
Just create a segue between the list view and the second tab controller.
And select on the second tab controller hide bottom bar on push in the attributes inspector.
Drag and drop new tabbarcontroller from stroryboard and from your list view controller ctrl+drag to this newtabbar controller and select show segue. (assuming that you are using navigation controller)
I have a TabBarApplication with four views in the main TabBarItem. The problem comes when I go to any of these views and click in any button to go to another view and when I go back by a button linked to the main view, the TabBarItem of the app disappear!!
For example, one view of the app is a tableView in which each element of the list is linked to his external view and it has a back button that should return to the tableView. All the segues are by modal, not push because push segue crash the application and by modal it runs correctly but the problem comes when I returned by clicking the back button of the NavigationItem in the header of the view to his main view and the TabBarItem of the app is not there, is empty.
Each tab should have the view controller set to a navigation controller, with the view controller you want set as the root view controller of the navigation controller. Now you can use push segues and the standard back button that will be added for you. This will bypass the issue (and work much better for you and users).
You current issue is likely related to not really ever going back. Instead, just always presenting new modal view controllers which replace any existing content on screen.
I have an application which has 5 tabs. I also have another view which you can access from tab3 via a selection of buttons. I will call it view 3b. View 3b populates with information based on which button the user selected in view 3. After the user puts in all the information required the app automatically takes them back to view 3. I want to add the tab bar to this view(3b) but I do not want it to have its own tab. I just want to use it so the user can navigate out of this view back to the rest of the app if they want to exit the screen early. Does anyone know how I can attach the tab bar to this screen without having a tab added for this screen. I am using Xcode 4.6.2 and am using storyboards to set up my app.
Any help would be appreciated. I've done a bit of searching but everything I find just explains how to use tabs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It sounds like you need to use a UINavigationController.
When you set up your UITabBarController, instead of linking the third tab directly to your 3rd view controller, connect it to a UINavigationController, and then set the root view of that UINavigationController as the UIViewController you want as your third tab.
From there, you can set up your buttons to perform a push segue to your second view controller (view 3b from your question). If you do this, not only will you keep the tab bar on view 3b, but a back button will automatically be placed in the top left of the page so the user can simply go back to view 3. If you don't want the navigation bar that appears to be there, you can instead uncheck the "shows navigation bar" checkbox in the UINavigationController's attributes inspector.
I hope this helps!
I am very new to Xcode and have encountered an issue with my app. I am trying to create a tab bar app. On one of the tabs I have a button that brings the user to a different ViewController. I want to have it so the user can select a button that would return them to the tab that had the button. I tried to set up an action from the button to the previous view (the tabbed screen), however the tab bar disappears. I hope this is makes sense.
Here is a link to a screenshot...
Easiest way to do this is to place a UINavigationController as the root view controller of the TabBarController. You can do this in storyboard by simply ctrl+dragging from the tabbar controller to the navigation controller and adding it as a relationship.
Here's an example using storyboards:
The next step is to set the third controller (in this case the table view controller) to your player view controller class.
Then, you can use the default back button and animation that comes with the navigation controller. If you prefer to hide the navigation bar at the top of the screen, then you can use your custom back button to call
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
You can also choose custom animations / segues, etc. but using a navigation controller to help you navigate screens is probably the simplest approach.
