Navigation bar is removed when pushing a viewcontroller from another storyboard - ios

Question

I have many storyboards in my project to have modules with specific functionalities. In one of my storyboard, I have a navigation controller, which push the initial view controller of another storyboard. When I push it, the navigation bar is removed and there is no way to get this specific bar back. When I put another navigation controller in my new storyboard, the navigation bar is resetted with an ugly transition (it comes from the right and replace the older one).
This is how I push my new storyboard's view controller :
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:aStoryboardName bundle:nil];
UIViewController *SideBarInitialViewController = [storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];
UIStoryboardSegue *segue = [[GDFromRightCustomSegue alloc] initWithIdentifier:aSegueIdentifier source:aSource destination:SideBarInitialViewController];
[segue perform];
I perform a custom segue as well to get rid of the basic animation (the view coming from below) :
UIView *sourceView = [self.sourceViewController view];
UIView *destinationView = [self.destinationViewController view];
CGFloat screenHeight = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height;
CGFloat screenWidth = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width;
destinationView.frame = CGRectMake(screenWidth, 0.0, screenWidth, screenHeight);
UIWindow *window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[window insertSubview:destinationView aboveSubview:sourceView];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.4 animations:^{
destinationView.frame = CGRectOffset(destinationView.frame, -screenWidth, 0.0);
sourceView.frame = CGRectOffset(sourceView.frame, -screenWidth, 0.0);
} completion:^(BOOL finished){
[self.sourceViewController presentViewController:self.destinationViewController animated:false completion:nil];
}];
Is there a way to push the new storyboard without animate the navigation bar, or even better, to have the older navigation controller in my new storyboard ?

Answer 1

In your source storyboard drag a new UIViewController and then drag a ** Modal segue** to this new UIViewController from your source ViewController. Click on this segue and then in the attributes Inspector add a Identifier of segue (let say "newSegue") Identifier must be unique. Also set segue type to "Custom " and write "newSegue" in Segue Class
Now add a catagory on UIStoryBoardSegue with name newSegue and in the .m file write these two methods.
- (id) initWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier
source:(UIViewController *)source
destination:(UIViewController *)destination
{
return [super initWithIdentifier:identifier
source:source
destination:[[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"YourDestinationStoryBoardName" bundle:nil] instantiateInitialViewController ]];
}
- (void)perform
{
UIViewController *source = (UIViewController *)self.sourceViewController;
[source presentViewController:self.destinationViewController
animated:YES
completion:Nil];
}
Now in your source ViewController when you want to presenth new View Controller write this line
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"newSegue" sender:nil];
Must Remember to replace "YourDestinationStoryBoardName" with your actual destination StoryBoard name in the above function.
Try this Hope this will work fine.
