Open another ViewController without using a button? - ios

I am trying to open a ViewController2 from another ViewController1. I am not having any buttons, because the second ViewController should start after a sound has finished.
My function from ViewController1, that should call ViewController2:
- (void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag
{
NSLog(#"audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying");
//Here it should call the other ViewController
}
How can I handle this?

Try this... it's the same thing as doing it with a button:
MyViewController* controller = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

If you are using story board. Right click and drag from your source button to your destination view controller and then select push.
If you want to do it in code make sure you have a navigation viewcontroller then do as the answer suggested in regards to pushing the next view.

Not able to navigate to another UIViewController programmatically iOS

I am trying to navigate to "Home" view controller and for this I have written the following code in the ContainerViewController. But once the code executes, the application hangs and it show 100% CPU usage. Please help.
- (IBAction) home:(UIButton *)sender
{
HomeViewController *homeViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"HomeViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:homeViewController animated:YES];
//[self presentViewController:homeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
I have a question for you
1-If You want to push SecondViewController on to FirstViewController then your code is good enough
2-If you have a containerview in firstViewController and you want to add SecondViewcontroller's view to firstViewController
then use this code
UIViewController*vc1 = [[test1 alloc]initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
//add to the container vc which is self
[self addChildViewController:vc1];
//the entry view (will be removed from it superview later by the api)
[self.view addSubview:vc1.view];
I think you want an unwind segue here. In your first view controller add :
- (IBAction)unwindToFirstViewController:(UIStoryboardSegue*)sender
{
}
You then need to hook up each of your view controllers home button to the green Exit button at the bottom of the view controller, choosing the unwindToMainMenu option. This will then take you back to the first view controller when pressed.
Have you tried popping the current view?
navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
or just popping to root?
navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)
or setting a new stack?
navigationController?.setViewControllers(homeViewController, animated: true)
The code is in Swift but it would work the same in ObjectiveC

Going from a Storyboard to Nib and back again

Ok, I'm still pretty new; so, please bear with me.
I'm creating a custom app for a friend that displays a list of work orders in a table view. Clicking on a work order brings them to a detail view. In the detail view, there is a button that uses a push to present another screen called completion view. From the completion view, they click a button that uses the following code to present a nib for signature capture.
SigScreenViewController *sigScreenViewController=[[SigScreenViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:sigScreenViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
The signature screen uses: https://github.com/jcmontiel/SignatureViewExample for capturing the signature and does it well. I have a button that completes the transaction and sends it back to the table view list.
My problem is that I cannot create a button that will return me to the completion view in the storyboard.
I've tried the following in a button:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
or
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
I'm open for any suggestions on how I can do it.
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried having the UIViewControllers embedded in a navigation controller ?
Are you pushing from a UIViewController in UIStoryboard to a NIB file?
If so check out this sample project that pushes from storyboard to a NIB:
// in a navigation controller
// to load/push to new controller use this code
// this will be next screen
DetailsViewController *detailsViewController = [[DetailsViewController alloc ]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailsViewController animated:YES];
// to go back or pop controller use this
// now it will send back to parent screen
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

UINavigationController back button return to FIrstTableViewController

So I was create three UITableViewControllers with UINavigationController. I want a back button on 3rd UITableViewController, what returns my view to first UITableViewController instead of second.
How can I do that? That must be a real backButton, not a image or something else. Will be perfect to do this only with storyboard.
UPDATE
Perhaps I poorly explained what I want.
I don't want use any button with action on it. I just want something like as setting "address" of 1st TableViewController on my default back button. There is any way to do it?
add a button and connect it to following action
- (IBAction)backToFirstView:(UIButton *)sender
{
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
(or)
[self.navigationController popToViewController:yourFirstViewControllerObject animated:YES];
}
There are different ways to navigate from DetailViewController to other view controllers.
We will go through the cases one by one.
First of all I would like to clear that if its your default
navigation bar's back button, then it must return to the last most
view controller only which is actually a default behavior of a
navigation controller.
Second, If you would like to go back to the
last most view controller on the tap of a button placed by you, you
should write the following code
[self.navigationController popToViewController:NAME_OF_A_VIEWCONTROLLER animated:YES];
Third, If you would like to go to the first view controller from where you
started, you should write the following code
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Ok, I found a way to resolve my problem. Thanks for your answers guys, they was very helpful.
So for resolve this problem you just need use link what give me Kumar KL upper, and wrote next method in your UITableVIewController
-(void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
if ([self.navigationController.viewControllers indexOfObject:self]==NSNotFound) {
// Navigation button was pressed. Do some stuff
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:NO];
}
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}
Now you got a backButton what redirect you to your viewController, BUT title of this button is wrong. Let's resolve that unfair.
Create new class CustomSegueцрфе inherited from UIStoryboardSegue with next code in CustomSegue.m :
- (void)perform
{
UIViewController *sourceView = (UIViewController *) self.sourceViewController;
UIViewController *destinationView = (UIViewController *) self.destinationViewController;
[[destinationView navigationItem] setTitle:#"TitleOfYourViewController" ] ;
[sourceView.navigationItem setTitle:#"TitleOfButton"] ;
[sourceView.navigationController pushViewController:destinationView animated:YES];
}
Now you can go to storyboard and connect 2nd ViewController with 3rd with custom segue.
Like you see UINavigationController uses Title of previous ViewController for button title, so you just need change it.

IOS: dismiss two viewController

I have three viewController
First, Second and Third
from Second to open Third I use
Third *third = [[Third alloc]initWithNibName:#"Third" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:third animated:YES];
[third release];
Now I want return from third to first; then I set in viewDidAppear in second this code:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
but for 1 second I see Second and I don't want watch it...how can I do?
You need to dismiss third view controller first and then second Viewcontroller. Do the following code when you want to go first view controller.
-(void)goToFirstView{
UIViewController *vc = [self parentViewController];
// UIViewController *vc = [self presentingViewController]; //ios 5 or later
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[vc dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
How is the Third modal view being dismissed in the first place? Perhaps by the user touching a 'Done' button? If so, it is in the handler for the button that you want to dismiss both.
You can dismiss both as:
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: YES];
[self.presentingViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: NO];
This happens coz viewDidAppear is called everytime before the view appears so as soon as it appears you dismiss it and it disappears..
I don't think what u are trying to do can be achieved with modalViewControllers...
instead use a navigationController and keep adding your viewcontrollers onto the stack and when you want to goto the First view controller just call
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
EDIT:
just thought of it this can be achieved by using delegation.. you make second the delegate of third and as soon you dismiss the thirdviecontroller send the delegate a message.In this message call [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];..
and you are done.. (pretty easy if you know delegation.)

Switching between view controllers

I have three view controllers. I used the flipsideproject template and then added another view controller.
There is a button on the first view controller that goes to the second view controller. There is a button on the second view controller that goes back to the first one. When switching between the first and second, those buttons always work.
It is the same situation with the second and third view controller. When I try to transfer between the first to second to third and then back to first, it does not work.
(1-->2-->3-->2-/->1) My poorly drawn diagram depicts the situation.
I had all of the back buttons connected to the back IBAction, which I thought was the problem. I then made another IBAction, but it has not fixed the problem.
1st view controller = MainViewController
2nd VC = FlipSideViewController
3rd VC = ChooseAlarmSound
This is for going 2->1 (this is the problem I think. It sometimes works)
- (IBAction)done:(id)sender
{
[self.delegate flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:self];
}
This is for going 2->3
- (IBAction)chooseSound:(id)sender
{
ChooseAlarmSound *controller = [[[ChooseAlarmSound alloc] initWithNibName:#"ChooseAlarmSound" bundle:nil] autorelease];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
This is for going 3->2
- (IBAction)goBack:(id)sender
{
FlipsideViewController *controller = [[[FlipsideViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FlipsideViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
You presented your 3rd VC (going from 2 to 3) using modalviewcontroller. But then you tried to go back to 2nd VC (from 3rd to 2nd) using another modalVC. That will not let you go back to the previous instance of 2nd VC. You need to use dismissmodalviewcontrolleranimated method to do this. Checkout Apple website on modalviewcontroller class reference for detail info on this.
As suggested by user523234, all you need to do is call
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]
in the
- (IBAction)goBack:(id)sender
method of the 3rd view controller, instead of what you're doing, which is creating another instance of the 2nd view controller and presenting it.
The reason it's not working now, is because when you press the done button in the 2nd view controller it calls
- (IBAction)done:(id)sender
{
[self.delegate flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:self];
}
which is sending a message the 2nd view controller's delegate, which you haven't set in the case where you're going from 3->2.
