All these working good, But my problem is when i press back button i need my storyboard and xib file should be display in same view. When i run my app it display only storyboard page xib didn't load.
Thanks for advance here's my code:
- (IBAction)back:(id)sender {
Recharge *view = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Recharge"];
[self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:nil];
self.recharge = [[mobileViewcontroller alloc]init];
self.recharge.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,100, 400, 400);
[self addChildViewController:self.recharge];
[self.view addSubview:self.recharge.view];
}

Answer 1

Replace your code with
- (IBAction)back:(id)sender {
Recharge *rechargeView = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Recharge"];
[self presentViewController:rechargeView animated:YES completion:nil];
self.recharge = [[mobileViewcontroller alloc]init];
self.recharge.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,100, 400, 400);
[rechargeView addChildViewController:self.recharge];
[rechargeView.view addSubview:self.recharge.view];
}
And it will work.
As you are adding your mobileViewcontroller view on your current viewController which is not visible to user, instead you should add your mobileViewcontroller to the the recharge viewController which is in hierarchy and visible to user.

I'm assuming that Recharge is the view controller from the storyboard and mobileViewController is the view controller from the xib.
You're calling the wrong constructor to load mobileViewController. You need to use (instancetype)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibName bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundle to load it with a xib file. See https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/Documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIViewController_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIViewController/initWithNibName:bundle:

Answer 3

when ever you call new viewcontroller with passing somthing you have do code like this put all code before[self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:nil];
try this:
(IBAction)back:(id)sender
{
Recharge *view = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Recharge"];
self.recharge = [[mobileViewcontroller alloc]init];
self.recharge.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,100, 400, 400);
[view addChildViewController:self.recharge];
[view addSubview:self.recharge.view];
[self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:nil];
}
