How to switch to next controller on button click in ios (programmaticaly) - ios

Question

I am working on single view application. On click of button i want to switch to next page(let say menu controller). Please specify what changes I have to make in appdelegate to add a navigation controller as I am completely new to iOS.
[button addTarget:select action:#selector(buttonClick) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; and implement the selector as
-(void)buttonClick{
UIViewController *menu = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:menu animated:YES];
}

Answer 1

Add this in the app delegate for the root view controller:
FirstViewController *firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"view name" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
Inside the button click:
SecondViewController *secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"view name" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController animated:YES];

Answer 2

you have to set UINavigationController as Window.rootViewController like below.
FirstViewController *viewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;

You should subclass UIViewController and implement the view however you want. Views can be built programmatically or in interface builder.
Then you would either use segues, storyboard identifiers, or a xib file to load the view.
Might look like this: (assuming you set up the view controllers in a storyboard and connected them with appropriate segues & the identifier below)
-(void)buttonClick{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"MySegueIdentifier"];
}
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString: #"MySegueIdentifier"]) {
MyCustomViewController* vc = (MyCustomViewController*)[segue destinationViewController];
//do something with your view controller, like set a property
}
}
Or maybe like this
-(void) buttonClick {
MyCustomViewController* vc = (MyCustomViewController*)[[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName: #"MyStoryboard"] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: #"MyStoryboardIdentifier"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: vc animated: YES]; //assuming current view controller is a navigation stack. Or could also do presentViewController:animated:
}
You would add a class subclassing UIViewController to your project, and import it (#import "MyCustomViewController.h" in the .m file of the view controller you're pushing from).
Could also use a xib file, but I won't bother with those since Storyboards are much easier to work with.
Without a storyboard:
Inside the app delegate:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init]; //navigation controller is a property on the app delegate
// Override point for customization after application launch.
FirstViewController *firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
[navigationController pushViewController: firstViewController animated:NO];
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Inside your FirstViewController:
-(void) buttonClick {
MyCustomViewController* vc = [[MyCustomViewController alloc] init]; // or maybe you have a custom init method
[self.navigationController pushViewController: vc animated: YES];
}

Very simple:
-(void)ButtonClickActionMethod
{
[button addTarget:select action:#selector(buttonClick) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
Clicked Action:
-(void)buttonClick{
YourViewController *view = [[YourViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:view animated:YES];
}
