I'm trying to implement SWRevealViewController in a project without using storyboard. I think it's possible to do but i unfortunately failed. The button in the navigation bar does not perform the "revealToggle" action that is defined on him. So NavigationTableViewController is never shown. I don't understand why... I searched several hours a solution to this problem. Anyone help would be much appreciated.
#import "ContentViewController.h"
#import "NavigationTableViewController.h"
#interface ContentViewController()<SWRevealViewControllerDelegate>
#end
#implementation ContentViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
//[self.navigationItem setHidesBackButton:YES animated:YES];
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window = window;
ContentViewController *frontViewController = self;
NavigationTableViewController *rearViewController = [[NavigationTableViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *frontNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:frontViewController];
SWRevealViewController *revealController = [[SWRevealViewController alloc] initWithRearViewController:rearViewController frontViewController:frontNavigationController];
revealController.delegate = self;
[revealController panGestureRecognizer];
[revealController tapGestureRecognizer];
self.viewController = revealController;
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
UIBarButtonItem *revealButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"reveal-icon.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:revealController action:#selector(revealToggle:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = revealButtonItem;
}
I finally managed to solve my problem. According to John Lluch examples, i modified my code.
Here is the solution without using storyboards :
AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "SplashScreenController.h"
#import "SWRevealViewController.h"
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UINavigationController *navigationController;
#property (strong, nonatomic) SplashScreenController *viewController;
#property (strong, nonatomic) SWRevealViewController *revealController;
#end
AppDelegate.m
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "ContentViewController.h"
#import "NavigationTableViewController.h"
#interface AppDelegate()<SWRevealViewControllerDelegate>
#end
#implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
SplashScreenController *frontViewController = [[SplashScreenController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SplashScreenController" bundle:nil];
NavigationTableViewController *rearViewController = [[NavigationTableViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *frontNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:frontViewController];
SWRevealViewController *revealController = [[SWRevealViewController alloc] initWithRearViewController:rearViewController frontViewController:frontNavigationController];
revealController.delegate = self;
self.window.rootViewController = revealController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
ContentViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ContentViewController : UIViewController
#end
ContentViewController.m
#import "ContentViewController.h"
#import "SWRevealViewController.h"
#import "NavigationTableViewController.h"
#import <sqlite3.h>
#interface ContentViewController()<SWRevealViewControllerDelegate>
#end
#implementation ContentViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
SWRevealViewController *revealController = [self revealViewController];
[revealController panGestureRecognizer];
[revealController tapGestureRecognizer];
UIBarButtonItem *revealButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"reveal-icon.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:revealController action:#selector(revealToggle:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = revealButtonItem;
}

i just created tab bar controller with side menu i got output with black screen but i dont know how to assign two view controllers in app delegate please tell me how to make it work.i need that specific code to make it work.

Arun, I'm going to hook you up big time, if you change your library to JASidpanels, this is going to be easier for you and I already just made the solution. Download JASidePanels, use this library instead, it does the same thing as the one you have, but it's better, download here:
https://github.com/gotosleep/JASidePanels
and if you don't want to worry about doing this yourself, here's the GISTs of the App delegate files:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e85536b17296287ec34f
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/93b620135418ddc8f1ed
Start the demo project, and then all you need to do is change the AppDelegate.h and AppDelegate.m files and you have exactly what you want, and more:
Here's the new AppDelegate.m:
#import "JAAppDelegate.h"
#import "JASidePanelController.h"
#import "JACenterViewController.h"
#import "JALeftViewController.h"
#import "JARightViewController.h"
#implementation JAAppDelegate
#synthesize window = _window;
#synthesize viewController = _viewController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.viewController = [[JASidePanelController alloc] init];
self.viewController.shouldDelegateAutorotateToVisiblePanel = NO;
self.viewController.leftPanel = [[JALeftViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *viewcontroller1=[[UIViewController alloc]init];
UIViewController *viewcontroller2=[[UIViewController alloc]init];
UIViewController *viewcontroller3=[[UIViewController alloc]init];
UIViewController *viewcontroller4 =[[UIViewController alloc]init];
UIViewController *viewcontroller5 =[[UIViewController alloc]init];
viewcontroller1.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
viewcontroller2.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
viewcontroller3.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
viewcontroller4.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
viewcontroller5.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
UINavigationController *navcontroller1=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller1];
UINavigationController *navcontroller2=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller2];
UINavigationController *navcontroller3=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller3];
UINavigationController *navcontroller4 =[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller4];
UINavigationController *navcontroller5 =[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewcontroller5];
viewcontroller1.title = #"one";
viewcontroller2.title = #"two";
viewcontroller3.title = #"three";
viewcontroller4.title = #"four";
viewcontroller5.title = #"five";
navcontroller1.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cam"];
navcontroller2.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cam"];
navcontroller3.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cam"];
navcontroller4.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cam"];
navcontroller5.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cam"];
self.this = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.this.viewControllers=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:navcontroller1,navcontroller2,navcontroller3,navcontroller4,navcontroller5, nil];
//self.this.tabBar.barTintColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
self.this.tabBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
self.viewController.centerPanel = _this;
self.viewController.rightPanel = [[JARightViewController alloc] init];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
#end
Here's the new AppDelegate.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#class JASidePanelController;
#interface JAAppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property (strong, nonatomic) JASidePanelController *viewController;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UITabBarController *this;
#end
This works, here's proof:
this all works, you can customize the sides a very easily, and this doesn't break nearly as much as the other sidepanel controllers. Ask questions if you have them!
ALSO, make sure you add your own custom images to the tabs. This works without a hitch and you will now have yourself a very very robust navigation system that works prostyle. In fact, this JASidePanels is probably one of THE most popular amongst production apps because it doesn't cut corners and doesn't break the guy who made it is a very very good at what he does. Also, this took me about 10 minutes to make and this is just the start, you can do a lot more with this little side panel library than the others. This library literally requires 4 files, that's it, no mess, no fuss, no stupidity.
I don't have privilege to comment on your code.
So I am posting it in your answer.
Why did you set the window's root view controller twice in your code, it will always be one.
Either this,
self.window.rootViewController =self.tabBarController;
Or this,
self.window.rootViewController=self.viewController;
How can I use the MMDrawerController for my Master-Detail Application?
I want the DetailViewController as my centerViewController and the MasterViewController as a leftDrawerViewController.
Actually this is my code:
AppDelegate.m
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "MMDrawerController.h"
#import "MMDrawerVisualState.h"
#import "MasterViewController.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#interface AppDelegate ()
#property (nonatomic,strong) MMDrawerController * drawerController
#end
#implementation AppDelegate
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application willFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (NSDictionary *)launchOptions{
UIViewController * leftDrawer = [[MasterViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController * center = [[DetailViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController * navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:center];
[navigationController setRestorationIdentifier:#"MMExampleCenterNavigationControllerRestorationKey"];
self.drawerController = [[MMDrawerController alloc]
initWithCenterViewController:center
leftDrawerViewController:leftDrawer];
[self.drawerController setRestorationIdentifier:#"MMDrawer"];
[self.drawerController setMaximumRightDrawerWidth:200.0];
[self.drawerController setOpenDrawerGestureModeMask:MMOpenDrawerGestureModeAll];
[self.drawerController setCloseDrawerGestureModeMask:MMCloseDrawerGestureModeAll];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self.window setRootViewController:self.drawerController];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
The centerViewController stays completely black and the leftDrawerViewController only contains a tableView.
When you create the MMDrawerController try setting the initWithCenterViewController parameter to the navigationController instead of center.
I have a UITabController with five tabs. Each tab simply holds an instance of a custom UIViewController, and each instance holds a UIWebView.
I want the UIWebView in each tab to open a different URI, but I don't think it should be necessary to create a new class for each tab.
I can make it work if I do [self.webView loadRequest:] in -(void)viewDidLoad but it seems ridiculous to create five different classes with five different versions of viewDidLoad when all I really want to change is the URI.
Here's what I've tried:
appDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface elfAppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#end
appDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
customVC *start = [[customVC alloc] init];
customVC *eshop = [[customVC alloc] init];
customVC *table = [[customVC alloc] init];
customVC *video = [[customVC alloc] init];
customVC *other = [[customVC alloc] init];
// Doesn't do anything... I wish it would!
[start.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://google.com"]]];
self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = #[start, eshop, table, video, other];
self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
customVC.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface customVC : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate> {
UIWebView* mWebView;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIWebView* webView;
- (void)updateAddress:(NSURLRequest*)request;
- (void)loadAddress:(id)sender event:(UIEvent*)event;
#end
customVC.m
#interface elfVC ()
#end
#implementation elfVC
#synthesize webView = mWebView;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.webView = [[UIWebView alloc] init];
[self.webView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
self.webView.delegate = self;
self.webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[self.view addSubview:self.webView];
}
Create a property of type NSURL* in your customVC.
Change your customVC's -(id)init method to -(id)initWithURL:(NSURL*)url as follows:
-(id)initWithURL:(NSURL*)url{
self = [super init];
if(self){
self.<URLPropertyName> = url;
}
return self;
}
Then call
[start.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:self.<URLPropertyName>]];
in viewDidLoad
Then when you initialize your different instances of customVC, just use
customVC *vc = [customVC alloc]initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://..."]];
I suspect you are initialising your webview after calling it's loadRequest: method. To avoid this, it's a better practice to initialise nonatomic properties by overriding their setters:
- (UIWebView*)webview {
if (mWebView == nil) {
// do the initialization here
}
return mWebView;
}
This way your webview will be initialised when you first access it (while calling loadRequest:) and not after it, in your custom view controller's viewDidLoad method.
I really don't know how to explain this without pasting all my code, but ill give it a shot. "Assuming" my .hs and .ms are accurate, i have a feeling my .xib is not set correctly, but i cant really paste the code from that. Instead i've zipped the files and uploaded the source code. (if you are brave enough, it's here: http://bit.ly/ZtDkGi ) Im getting a successful build, but my emulator's screen is just black after the app launches.
Essentially, i had to manually add an appDelegate object. i set the class to the appropriate class - but its still not pulling. If someone would be kind enough to help, that would be great.
here's my Test_TableViewAppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface Test_TableViewAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate>
{
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navController;
#end
here's my new Test_TableViewAppDelegate.m
#import "Test_TableViewAppDelegate.h"
#implementation Test_TableViewAppDelegate
#synthesize window=_window;
#synthesize navController=_navController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
//self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
self.window = window;
UIViewController *fvc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *rootController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:rootController];
//UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:fvc];
self.navController = nc;
//[self.window addSubview: nc.view];
//[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
RootViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface RootViewController : UITableViewController {
NSMutableArray *petsArray;
}
#end
RootViewController.m
#import "RootViewController.h"
#interface RootViewController ()
#end
#implementation RootViewController
and last but not least, main.m ( i think this might be an issue too)
#import "Test_TableViewAppDelegate.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool {
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([Test_TableViewAppDelegate class]));
}
}
thanks in advance. i'd appreciate it :D
in your delegate Test_TableViewAppDelegate
why you adding views two times to the window?
// you could remove these two lines
[self.window addSubview: nc.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
//keep these two lines
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
And this view you are adding to the navigationController it is not initalized with any nib name
UIViewController *fvc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
initialization should be like this instead in your delegate
RootViewController *rootController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:rootController];
I believe the reason that you're getting a black screen is that you are not properly allocating and initializing your navigation controller!
Instead, you should try this code:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// create the base window
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
self.window = window;
[window release];
// this is the home page from the user's perspective
FirstViewController *fvc = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:fvc];
self.navigationController = nc;
[fvc release];
[nc release];
// show them
[self.window addSubview: nc.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
Hope this works!
I've got an app where I am pushing a modal view controller. It is working fine, but I am concerned I haven't coded it in the most correct fashion. I have instanstiated two navigation controllers, which seems a bit dodgy to me.
Basically I've created a tab bar controller with 3 tabs, then made one of those tabs / view controllers the root. Later I am (using some home-grown markup on core text) popping a view controller when the user touches a particular word in a paragraph. The pushed view controller has a back button which works fine and the app seems to be OK.
Like I said it all works, but it seems I am coding in circles here. Is this correct?

PopupViewController *popupVC = [[PopupViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PopupViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:popupVC];

[nav setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self presentModalViewController:nav animated:YES];
}
From PopupViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone
target:self
action:#selector(done:)]];
}
- (void)done:(id)sender
{
[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
It appears the answer is "yes". I was under the impression there is a single Navigation Controller for the app, but it's more like one per tab, depending on if there are going to be further pushes from that tab.
