I have a container view which embeds a navigation controller (UINavigationController) with a root view that is a UITableViewController. One of the prototype cell has a push segue on selection to another UITableViewController. This is all via the storyboard in XCode 5. No actual code.
Unfortunately nothing happens when the cell is selected.
What am I missing?
Thanks
I tried before with that structure and it should work well. Here is an example screenshot of the full storyboard:
Found the solution. In my controller showing that custom animated controller, I needed to use addChildViewController.

I have a UICollectionView which is embedded into a UIContainerView. So I want to navigate from this embedded UICollectionView to an independent (not embedded) UIViewController but it throws an error. I know it should be pretty straightforward to use either a Segue or self.present etc. but in this situation it doesn't allow me to do it. Embedded CollectionView looks like the dead end. How can I navigate to a new UIViewController from an embedded CollectionView. Please see the image. Thanks.
There is no such thing as navigating from a View to a View Controller. It should be View Controller to View Controller. Don't try to take a segue from a View to a View Controller. Try to take it from the View Controller which has that UICollectionView.
I'm presenting a UITableView modally to provide access to some application settings. When the modal view (root view controller) appears, it has a navigation bar like I expect. However, when one of the options is selected and the next 'UITableView` is popped to the top of the stack, there's no navigation bar.
Here's what one of the child UITableViews looks like:
As far as I know, the two children views should have navigation bars without me having to do anything because they're embedded in a UINavigationController.
I tried dragging a navigation bar to the views but IB will only let me put them inside the UITableView and if I do that, they do appear, but they also go too high in the view and run into the status bar and I can set any layout constraints on them to fix this.
I've scoured the Apple documentation with no luck and found many thread on SO that very, very old and in objective-C.
Can I make these views work together like I'd expect them to or am I going to have to build the child views from scratch?
UPDATE: I'm still trying to get this to work. I've now tried to create a new view controller from scratch. Here's what the view hierarchy looks like:
And you can see in the Storyboard something's not right:
And when I run this in the simulator, I get a new error:
"[UITableViewController loadView] instantiated view controller with identifier "UIViewController-cDg-wV-aMN" from storyboard "Main", but didn't get a UITableView.' But I created the segue by Ctrl-dragging from the cell in the root VC directly to the Table View.
To sum this all up, here's the flow I'm trying to achieve: UIViewController (initial VC) -> UINavigationController (presented modally from the bottom) -> UITableViewController (presented from right to left and with standard navigation bar).
My segues are all set to Show (e.g. Push)
Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated.
Well, I figured out how to fix the problem I was having after coming across another thread that wasn't about the same problem, but it had some advice that tipped me off.
The problem was caused by me creating the segues from the UITableViewCell on my Settings view controller to each of the child UITableViewControllers.
To fix the problem, I simply created the segues between the Settings UITableViewController and each of the child UITableViewControllers.
Hope this helps somebody else someday.
This is driving me crazy! I am creating a segue from one of the UITableViewCells to another UITableViewController. A Navigation controller sits between them as shown in the screenshot below:
When I reach the Samples UITableViewController it appears without the NavigationBar as shown below:
Am I doing something wrong?
Your first UITableViewController is in a navigation controller too right ?
If not, it's normal, see this post.
If your first UITableViewController is in a navigation controller, I had the same problem, if you use the push segue (deprecated) it should resolve your problem.
I'm trying to set up a basic "Newsfeed" function for an iOS app, with headlines in a TableViewController segueing into a simple ViewController to display the text of the selected story. I'm using Storyboards to set up the segues, and I can't get it to work...
What I've Done - I started by CTRL+Dragging from the Cell of the TableView onto the secondary ViewController and choosing "Selection Segue - Push." Then I clicked on the segue and gave it the identifier "newsArticleSegue," and I embedded the TableView in a Navigation Controller. I've got the TableView data source hooked up to a plist file as well, although I don't think that would have any effect on the segue, right?
All that happens when I run the app and click on a row of the TableView is that it gets highlighted blue. Clearly the segue isn't working, but the tutorials I've found only list those steps, as though that's all that's needed...
Can anyone tell me what I am missing? And thank you in advance!
When you create the segue with IB, you can drag from the view controller (which you did) or from the table view cell, which will call the segue if the table view cell is selected.
I'm using storyboard to create an iPad app. On the main view I have a toolbar and a bar button item, let's call it "show". Then I have dragged a table view controller into the storyboard. I have also added a subclass of UITableViewController to the files and made the class of the dragged table view controller to be that subclass. And I made a popover segue from the "show" button to the table view controller. It works fine, meaning that when "show" pressed I see the popover showing the correct data that I set in the table view. What I cannot seem to figure out is how to put a toolbar on top of the table view in the popover. I took a step back and used a UIViewController instead of UITableViewController and still cannot add a toolbar by dragging it to the view. Any help will be appreciated.
I ended up putting the TableViewController within a NavigationController and the latter in a PopoverController, all in the code, without using IB. I found this an easier solution to get the toolbar than anything else that might work.
