I am new to iOS. And I want to use navigation controller in my application but I have no any idea how to do it. So can any one guide me step by step for creating navigation in my application.
In appDelegate.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) UINavigationController *navController;
and set the delegate UINavigationControllerDelegate and synthesise object in appDelegate.m
now,
appDelegate.m
you can set navigation controller in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
frstVwCntlr = [[firstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"firstViewController" bundle:nil];
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.frstVwCntlr];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController;
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
In the above code , your firstViewController is set to UINavigationController and UINavigationController added to UIWindow like
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController
Hope this may help you
If you want to create everything programmatically you have to do it in AppDelegate.
But if you don't want to do it programmatically, then just select the ViewController in Storyboard then select menu options:
Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller
You can creat UINavigationController in Appdelegate and set your first viewcontroller on it.
So for creating a UINavigationController programatically without using storyboards, go to your app delegate and do the following. Create two properties, window and viewController
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
self.viewController = [[YourFirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourFirstViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return YES;
}
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
ImageViewController2 *dealVC = (ImageViewController2 *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ImageViewController2"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:dealVC animated:YES];
where ImageViewController2 is a class name
Here is the code that you should write in app delegate.
UIViewController *vc=[[UIViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"vc1" bundle:nil];
UIView *view=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 568)];
view.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];
[vc setView:view];
self.navme=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:vc];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navme;
For Swift 3.0, using filter:
let desiredController = self.navigationController!.viewControllers.filter { $0 is YourController }.first!
self.navigationController!.popToViewController(desiredController, animated: true)

I am a newbie in iOS Development trying to learn how to create and set views programmatically.
i am trying to do swift statement in Obj-C
window?.rootViewController = UINavigationController(rootViewController : ViewController())
Project: Single View Application . Trying to link default Created ViewController.h
As per Krunals Answer i updated code but Navigation Controller is not shown in simulator
Cmd+Click on controller does not navigate to ViewController File
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "ViewController.h"
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
UIScreen *screen=[[UIScreen alloc]init];
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window.makeKeyAndVisible;
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] init];
window.rootViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller] ;
Initialise your view controller ViewController before you add (use as root controller of navigation) into navigation controller stack.
Here is sample code to initialise simple view controller
UIViewController *controller = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
Here is sample code to initialise using storyboard
ViewController *controller = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"<ViewController - string identifier of your view controller>"];
Here is sample code to initialise using NIB/Bundle
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"<ViewController - string NIB name>>" bundle:nil];
According to your code and following comment try this code only (remove other codes from your app delegate launch):
// make sure your NIB name is 'ViewController'
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
if (controller != nil) {
self.window.rootViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: controller];
self.window.makeKeyAndVisible;
} else {
//print - your view controller is nil
}
Thanks to Krunal for detailed answer .
Thanks to dan for support
i found issue instead of self.window.rootViewController , i typed window.rootViewController.
setting self.window.rootViewController solved issue.
i dont know difference between self.window.rootViewController and window.rootViewController and reason for issue.
If some one knows answer please provide answer on comment
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface AppDelegate ()
#end
#implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UIScreen *screen=[[UIScreen alloc]init];
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window.makeKeyAndVisible;
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] init];
self.window.rootViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller] ;
Delele the file Main.storyboard and let the Main interface option empty before you do it.
And add this code:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
self.window.rootViewController = nav;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
UPDATE: If you want to use storyboard with UINavigationController, try this:
Adding UIViewController and adding with UINavigationController
UIStoryboard *storyboard = self.window.rootViewController.storyboard;
UIViewController *rootViewController= [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:kIdentifier];
[self setRootViewController:rootViewController];
#pragma mark - Set RootView Controller
-(void)setRootViewController:(UIViewController *)rootViewController {
self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
UIStoryboard *storyboard = self.window.rootViewController.storyboard;
UIViewController *rootViewController= [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:kIdentifier];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
[self setRootViewController:navController];
-(void)setRootViewController:(UINavigationController *)rootViewController {
self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
My MainViewController loads another view modally.
#implementation MainViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *uiViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"splashViewController"];
[uiViewController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationCustom];
[uiViewController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self presentViewController:uiViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
When I load the MainViewController directly from the AppDelegate, the modal view is loaded.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
UIViewController *rootController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootController];
[navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:true];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self.window setRootViewController:navigationController];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
If I load the MainViewController as a child controller of another controller, then the modal view fails to load.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.drawerViewController.leftViewController = self.leftDrawerViewController;
self.drawerViewController.centerViewController = self.mainViewController;
self.drawerViewController.animator = self.drawerAnimator;
UIViewController *rootController = self.drawerViewController;
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootController];
[navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:true];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self.window setRootViewController:navigationController];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
The main view still loads. It's only that the modal view is not created.
What's causing the problem and how can I resolve this?
You should not present another view controller from viewDidLoad method ,
by that time , current view is NOT finished with its view-hieararchy changes ,
You can present new viewcontroller after viewDidAppear is called ,
so you can move that code to viewDidAppear
I copied the example from View Controller Catalog for iOS made some changes to the colour and expected to see them reflected on the simulator. Nothing happens ???
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UIViewController *myViewController = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
[navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
navigationController.title = #"Hello";
navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack ;
navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor greenColor];
UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES; }
What do I do wrong?
Several things: First: be sure than in the General information of your target app, in Main Interface field is blank. (If you don´t find it, delete all *.storyboard files that you have).
Second: In your AppDelegate.h should be this property:
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
And last: Change this in your code:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
In order to know changes is better step by step. (.title is in ViewController).
I try to integrate this sdk ( http://whamcitylights.com/sdk/#iOS )
in a my storyboard application,
My problem is in the point 4.
NOTE: That code assumes you are using a UINavigationController. If necessary you may need to add code to create and initialize it.
Here is an example:
I have UIPageViewController with four different UIViewController
and I need to change the last one with a UINavigationController
(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
self.viewController = ... // however you create your view controller...
UINavigationController *navCon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
navCon.navigationBarHidden = YES;
self.window.rootViewController = navCon;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
I need to do this in a storyboarded-based application
Thank you all!
Use it:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:nextViewController animated:YES];
I want to make a simple navigation control application in which I have two view controllers(ViewController and ViewController2). I have a button in ViewController and when I press the button, I want it to go to the other view. The problem is that button doesn't work. I also tried the UIViewController, but didn't work in that way neither.
The AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
ViewController *vc1 = [[ViewController alloc]init];
UINavigationController *nav=[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:vc1];
self.window.rootViewController = nav;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
[self.window addSubview:nav.view];
return YES;
}
The ViewController.m
- (IBAction)myButton:(id)sender {
ViewController *vc2 = [[ViewController alloc]init];
[[self navigationController]pushViewController:vc2 animated:YES];
}
Thanks in advance for your help
if you use storyboard import in your ViewController1 the ViewController2 and give a storyboard ID to it "view2":
ViewController2 *vc2 = (ViewController2 *)[self.storyboard instatiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"view2"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc2 animated:YES];
