I have a custom UIPageViewController which contain 5 UIViewControllers, now I would like to navigate from one of those 5 UIViewController, But I can't because in those UIViewControllers have no UINavigationController. Can anyone suggest me , how I can navigate from one those 5 UIViewControllers to other UIViewController?
The code in your - [AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:]
might look like this (after checking your skipping condition of course):
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc1 = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MyAuth"]; //if you assigned this ID is storyboard
UIViewController *vc2 = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Login"]; //if you assigned this ID is storyboard
UIViewController *vc3 = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Details"];
NSArray *controllers = #[vc1, vc2, vc3];
UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)self.window.rootViewController;
[navController setViewControllers:controllers];
If you paste just this to - [AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:], you'll see that it works immediately.

I want to add a navigationcontroller to an existing viewcontroller which is created using storyboard, i have embed it in a navigation controller, but the code for navigating (shown below) is not working even after embed in the navigation controller:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
EditProfileViewController *nextViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"EPVController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:nextViewController animated:YES];
When i have tried to log self.navigationController, it shows null.
Update: It is fine when i am trying with presentViewcontroller , but i
want to push the viewcontroller with navigationController.
I am struggling with this for two days,Please help.
If self is a subclass of UINavigationController, you do not need to refer to the navigationController property. (Note that this won't work if EditProfileViewController is also a subclass of UINavigationController, as you can't push a UINavigationController inside a UINavigationController).
EditProfileViewController *nextViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"EPVController"];
[self pushViewController:nextViewController animated:YES];
Otherwise, if you don't have a pre-existing navigation controller
EditProfileViewController *nextViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"EPVController"];
[self presentViewController:nextViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
In my AppDelegates 'didFinishLaunchingWithOptions' function, I have this code in there:
if(loggedIn != nil)
{
MainViewController *mvc = [self.window.rootViewController.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MainView"];
[self.window setRootViewController:mvc];
}
Second Attempt which didn't work:
if(loggedIn != nil)
{
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
MainViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MainView"];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self.window setRootViewController:nav];
}
The problem is that when the MainViewController loads, the NavigationHeader is missing. I've tried various methods online and instantiations that basically do the same thing to no avail. I have also tried created a whole new navigationController and adding my view to it, however, that fails as well.
Your setting MainViewController as your root, if this is not a navigation controller, there will be no header when it opens.
Instead create a UINavigationController, set MainViewController as its root and then set the navigation controller as the window root.
e.g.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"storyboardName" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"home"];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self.window setRootViewController:nav];
or if you have the navigation controller inside the storyboard then instantiate that. Most likely the initial view controller.
e.g.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"storyboardName" bundle:nil];
[self.window setRootViewController::[storyboard instantiateInitialViewController]];
not sure if it will be the initial viewController or not, that requires more info of your setup to know.
The below code is work in ipad,but not in iphone.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *controller = (UIViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MoreAppsViewController"];
UINavigationController *navgiate = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:controller];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:navgiate animated:YES];
i cannot able to load MoreApsviewController by instatinating. View Controller is not pushing Please help me how to do it. Thanks in Advance
If your container is a navigation controller, you can simply intilize a VC and push it like this;
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *controller = (UIViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MoreAppsViewController"];
//No need to create a nav controller here
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
If you want to add another navigation controller you can present it or add as child VC, but you can't push another navigationVC.
These 2 steps should be checked.
If the View Controller you are trying to access is embedded in a Navigation controller you are correct in referencing the correct view, otherwise, change UINavigationController *navgiate to UIViewController * navigate (OR UITableViewController * navigate if it is a Table View).
Check your referencing of View Controllers. If you have the name (UIViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MoreAppsViewController"]; I will assume that you have named your View Controller MoreAppsViewController. You need to name and reference the UINavigationController as it is the point of reference.
This is the result for View Controller:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *controller = (UIViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MoreAppsViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
This is the result for Navigation Controller:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];
//You need to name your Navigation Controller "MoreAppsViewController" for this to work
UINavigationController *controller = (UINavigationController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MoreAppsViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
I want to add a navigation view controller prior to the user getting to the splitview controller. I have tried a few ways of changing the root controller when I want to go from navigation controller to splitview controller but I don't seem to be setting the delegate the right way when I do this.
Code WITHOUT nav view (works perfectly):
AppDelegate
UISplitViewController *splitViewController = (UISplitViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
UINavigationController *navigationController = [splitViewController.viewControllers lastObject];
splitViewController.delegate = (id)navigationController.topViewController;
UINavigationController *masterNavigationController = splitViewController.viewControllers[0];
MasterViewController *controller = (MasterViewController *)masterNavigationController.topViewController;
controller.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
Code with nav view prior to SplitView
AppDelegate
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
UIViewController* rootController = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"dummy"];
self.window.rootViewController = rootController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
DummyViewController
AppDelegate *appDelegateTemp = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
appDelegateTemp.window.rootViewController = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]] instantiateInitialViewController];
This takes me from the DummyViewController that I launched into, to the splitview controller which is the initial view controller in Storyboard. Which is fine however, when I do it this way none of the delegates get called. This is probably because when changing root controllers, it is not setting the delegates properly. How can I get this to work the right way?
It seems the only really non-hacking way to do it is to present a modal view over the split view in the detail view controller
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
DummyViewController *dummy = (DummyViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"dummy"];
[self presentViewController:dummy animated:NO completion:nil];
By setting animation to NO, the user does not see the split view loaded behind it.
I am trying the "pass the baton" method for passing the managedObjectContext (MOC) thru multiple views. I have it successfully passed to the rootViewController. From there I move to a tabBarController via presentViewController. I can't seem to find a way to pass the MOC when the tabBarController is pushed.
AppDelegate.m
UIViewController *navigationController = (UIViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
MyViewController *controller = (MyViewController *) navigationController;
controller.managedObjectContext = managedObjectStore.mainQueueManagedObjectContext;
The main view controller is basically a start up screen that will kick you into a login screen or if you are already logged in, to the tabBarController. Below is where I transition to the tabBarController from within the viewDidAppear method.
MyViewController.m
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *mainTabVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
The tabBarController in the storyboard has the identifier "mainTabVC".
I've tried lines like
MyTabBarController.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
but I get the error Property 'MOC' not found on object of type MyTabBarController even though I do have the property declared in MyTabBarController.h
Could someone show me a line of code that I can throw in this segue to push the MOC to the tab bar controller.
BTW- I'm utilizing RestKit in this app if that changes the way I should be handling this please let me know.
*****Solution********
To make things clear for any other new guys with the same question. I went from this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *mainTabVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
To this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
MyTabBarViewController *mainTabVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
mainTabVC.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
Notice the assignment in the third line and using MyTabBarViewController instead of UIViewController in the second line. BIG thanks again to rdelmar!
Your code is somewhat confusing. Is MyTabBarController the class? It looks like mainTabVC is your instance. You should use that rather than the class, and you should change the type when you instantiate mainTabVC to MyTabBarController, instead of UITabBarController. You also don't need to get the storyboard the way you do, you can just use self.storyboard.
MyTabBarController *mainTabVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
mainTabVC.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
