My App has two pages, so in interface builder I have three controllers:
A NavigationController
segues via RootViewController to TableViewController1
segues via push to TableViewController2
I easily added a Bar Button to the right side of the navigation bar of TableViewController1 by dragging it from the tools.
Tried to do the same thing in TableViewController2 and it won't drop the bar button.
I have the "Shows Navigation Bar" attribute checked on the Navigation Controller and I can see a space for the navigation bar on TableViewController2, but I don't see the same "Navigation Item" in the component hierarchy that I see for TableViewController1.
If I drag a bar button to the controller itself it puts a new NavigationItem icon on the controller (between First Responder and Exit) and that looks promising, but it doesn't show when I run the app.
For this TableViewController2, you have to explicitly add a navigation item into the xib and then you can add bar button items on it.
It will look like this in xib , you can set title and button.

I am following this tutorial, and I am trying to add a "bar button". the tutorial says the following :
While you’re there, change the title of the screen to Add Player (by double-clicking in the navigation bar). Also add two Bar Button Items to the navigation bar. In the Attributes inspector, set the Identifier of the button to the left to Cancel, and the one on the right to Done (also change this one’s Style from Bordered to Done).
I followed the steps, but every time i drag the "bar button" to place it on the navigation bar, it moves automatically to the lower left of the scene as shown in image-1
please let me know the following
1- how to place the bar button on the navigation bar
2- how to rename "Root View Controller" to "Add Player"
image-1:
Disable translucent property of navigationBar of NavigationController in storyboard.
if you have enabled translucent then you not able drag bar item to navigationBar .
Now you able to drag Bar item to Navigation bar through story board.
Result
Change Students -> "Add Player". This wil rename "Root View Controller"
You can also set the bar button programmatically. Try this:
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .action, target: #selecter(function), action: nil)
Just do the following from the beginning.:(
Sorry to say that.
Take a view controller.embed it to navigation controller.
How?
Select your view controller and from
then go to there and select bar button item and keep that bar button item to navigation bar.
Double click your navigation controller and write "Add player" for naming
i hope you get this.
I am following a tutorial on Udemy about Navigation Controllers.
The instructions are to drag a Navigation Controller onto the storyboard, and then drag and drop a Bar Button Item on the right of its navigation bar to segue to another view controller.
However, when I drag the Bar Button Item to its would-be position on the navigation bar, no drop-zone gets highlighted, and the button gets added to a random tab at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried finding references to this problem but all solutions are programmatic and given the wysiwyg nature of iOS development I would like to solve it through XCode UI.
Is there some setup I must change or is this an XCode 7 discrepancy?
Try to add a ViewController and then in Editor -> Embed in -> NavigationController. Then it should work.
I have solved my problem by dragging the Bar Button Item into the Document Outline, below Root View Controller.
This automatically creates Left Bar Button Items and Right Bar Button Items, which gives you an opportunity to drag the Item in the section of the controller you like.
I want to add a bar button item on the navigation bar. (Say View 1 here.) The view that will segue to View 1 is embedded in a navigation controller.
However, the navigation bar is not showing in this view.
If I use attribute inspector to add a opaque/ translucent navigation bar, there will be a navigation bar in View 1. But if I drag in a bar button item, it cannot be shown in the storyboard. Though the bar button is in the document outline, it cannot be shown on the storyboard. Also, if I run the application, it is not on the screen.
When running the application in the simulator, View 1 will have a navigation bar on the top of it, since I use "Show" rather than "Show Details" to show View 1. I tried to embed View 1 in a navigation controller again, but it won't help much.
Can anyone tell me how to add a bar button in this situation using storyboard? And why the navigation bar is missing from the storyboard?
Thanks in advance.
I figure it out by myself.
Drag a Navigation Item from the object list, and then add bar button item to it.
Thanks to rdelmar for his idea, though drag out a navigation bar won't work in the way I thought it should work.
In my situation, View 1 is a table view. Drag a navigation bar to the view will cause it to be the header view for the table, rather than a navigation bar I had expected. Then there will be two navigation bar in the view when I run the application.
Of course we can drag out a navigation bar and add a button to it, it might work different with your expectation. As I had said, it might leads to a view which contains two navigation bars.
You can fix this by drag out the Navigation Item (contains the bar button you had added) inside the Navigation Bar out. In my situation, I drag it out and put it the same level with the table view inside the document outline. Then it won't become the header view for the table view.
After that, we can just delete the navigation bar from the document outline.
I have no idea why the navigation bar disappears in my storyboard. If anyone has some idea for this, please let me know.
It sounds like you're adding the navigation bar by using the Simulated Metrics. If so, this doesn't add one at run time, it's only for layout purposes in IB. You should drag out a navigation bar from the objects list, and add your button to it.
I am new to ios programming working on my first app. I have a tab bar controller with two tabs A and B. Both tabs are connected to table view controller with some data being shown. I want to add a bar button item on the top left "navigation" bar of the table. This would be a slide bar menu navigation item as shown in figure below
However, even though in my storyboard the menu bar button item shows up (as shown in the pic), when I run the program, the table corresponding to tab "A" that gets displayed does not show the menu item.
UPDATE: Solution (see the marked answer and comments) -Basically, you need to embed the table view controller in navigation view controller, set "Top bar" to "Navigation Bar" and then you can add a bar button item.
UPDATE 2 - Setting the top bar to "Navigation Bar" in attributes of the table view controller is optional.
Instead of inserting the bar button in the tab view controller insert it in view controller "A."
I am developing a tabbed bar application using storyboards.
I am attempting to put in a back button one a view - but when I press to go back (from one view to another) the tab bar vanishes.
How can I ensure the tab bar stays there?
Just make sure you're adding the UITabBar to the main Navigation Controller or View Controller of Navigation Hierarchy.
You need to select Tab Bar on the Navigation Controller Bottom Bar under the Attributes Inspector, then set the bottom bar to Inferred for the rest of your pages (or Tab Bar if you want it to be different on any pages)
