The following code sets up my UIWindow and UINavigationController from which I want to present modal view controllers:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController;
[self.window setHidden:FALSE];
Once I set this all up I display a Controller that is provided by a third party library using:
[self.navigationController presentViewController:self.presentedViewController
animated:NO
completion:nil];
While the Modal View Controller is loading there seems to be a grey screen that is displayed, wondering how I can hide this during the load of the modal controller.

So I've setup the AppDelegate to load a root view vc which has a navigation controller:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
SecondViewController *vc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
self.window.rootViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
In my SecondViewController I have a method that then calls a push to present the third view controller:
ThirdViewController *thirdVC = [[ThirdViewController alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: thirdVC animated:YES];
Although this doesn't work. On closer inspection the self.navigationController property on the SecondViewController is nil. Is there something I've missed on the AppDelegate to make this non-nil?
Try this as i was facing same issue but i resolved it by setting same class name and Storyboard ID name under The Custom Class header of your project.
registerViewController *regVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"registerViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:regVC animated:YES];
Try this:
SecondViewController *vc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
THere is no need of making the root view controller nil in the app delegate.
Inside this i am creating the custom navigation controller and i have view as storyboard but that view is not loading
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
//create the navigation controller and add the controllers view to the window
_navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
//check if the first viewcontroller eixsts, otherwise create it
if(self.firstViewController == nil)
{
ViewController *firstView = (ViewController *)[mainStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainView123"];
// ViewController *firstView = [[ViewController alloc] init];
self.firstViewController = firstView;
}
//push the first viewcontroller into the navigation view controller stack
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.firstViewController animated:YES];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
firs you should set your navigation as rootviewcontroller then try something like this.
UIStoryboard *storyboard =[UIStoryboardstoryboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
MyNewViewController *myVC = (MyNewViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myViewCont"];
self.firstViewController = myVc;
I am making an application but I'm still a beginner and I'm trying to get used to the RootViewController and how it should be set.
At the beginning my application launches, I want there to be a View which is not in my tabBarController (which is set to be my rootViewController).
What I am trying to ask is, Can I have another view which is outside my UITabBarController launch first without it being in the tabBarController's items list?

self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;

I know you already selected an answer but all that's doing is pushing a UITabBar view on top of an existing view, not creating a new UITabBarController view. Based on our brief conversation (latest XCode, no StoryBoards, using XIBs) you're going to want to create a xib as a UITabBarController then push it into view...
View *view = [[View alloc] initWithNibName:#"myUITabBarXIB" bundle:nil];
view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController: view animated:YES];
This will present your XIB file but not on top of the existing view controller when the desired action takes place.
yes! ofcourse you do.
[self.view addsubview:yourTabbar.view];
Hope this will help you.
I have been trying an app with initial login screen which then takes to a TabBarController.
I want to know whats the best approach to do this any example code would be appreciated. I have tried it but I am unable to switch from ViewController to TabController.
I'm not sure that this is the best way to do it, but it's quick and dirty and works. Present a modal view controller inside your applicationDidFinishLaunchineWithOptions: method. You should replace the #selector with something more appropriate to what you want to do. Background color is for effect only.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UIViewController *viewController1 = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *viewController2 = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = #[viewController1, viewController2];
self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
// ***** The relevant code *****
UIViewController *viewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
[[viewController view] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
UIButton *dismissButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[dismissButton setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 300, 44)];
[dismissButton setTitle:#"Dismiss" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[dismissButton addTarget:[self tabBarController] action:#selector(dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[[viewController view] addSubview:dismissButton];
[[self tabBarController] presentViewController:navigationController animated:NO completion:nil];
return YES;
}
I normally wouldn't like to put this sort of code in the app delegate, but if it's a one-time thing like login details, maybe it's ok.
Assume your root view controller is also your login view.
Now from your root view controller, you can present the tab bar controller a number of ways. One way is to just call the presentViewController method from the root view controller.
Setup
From within the root view controller, sometime before presenting the tab bar, set it up:
myTabBarViewController = [[MyTabBarViewController alloc] init];
[myTabBarViewController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[myTabBarViewController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
[myTabBarViewController setRootTabBarDelegate:self];
Presentation
When you are ready to present, just call this:
[self presentViewController:myTabBarViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
Notes
The view controller hierarchy looks like this:
AppDelegate
L RootViewController
L MyTabBarController
I would like to show a modal dialog from a xib. The code that shows my window is:
self.vcSettings = [[ViewControllerSettings alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewControllerSettings" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self presentModalViewController:self.vcSettings animated:YES];
When this runs though, I get a blank screen, and not what was inside of my ViewControllerSettings.xib. I imagine I'm showing the view incorrectly somehow. Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT:
I think this should be
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:self.vcSettings animated:YES];
but for some reason self.navigationController is nil.
EDIT:
Self is a UIViewController instantiated in my AppDelegate like so:
UIViewController* viewMain = [[ViewController_iPhone alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.window.rootViewController = viewMain;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
You need to create a UINavigationController, set it's root view to the XIB controller that you want to present (in your case vcSettings), then present the UINavigationController
self.vcSettings = [[ViewControllerSettings alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewControllerSettings" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *controller = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vcSettings];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
