MVYSideMenu using Navigation Controller in all view controllers iOS - ios

Question

I am using this Cocoa Control Side Menu link.
In this Menu, when you start the app you have a Navigation Bar for the first screen, but when you open the menu and press any element of TableView, the ViewController change without Navigation Bar. I want to have a Navigation Bar for each of the elements of the TableView Menu and a left button on the Navigation bar that could open and close the Menu.
I start the application with this code:
// appDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
YPMenuViewController *menuVC = [[YPMenuViewController alloc] init];
YPProfileViewController *contentVC = [[YPProfileViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *contentNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:contentVC];
YPSideMenuOptions *options = [[YPSideMenuOptions alloc] init];
YPSideMenuController *sideMenuController = [[YPSideMenuController alloc] initWithMenuViewController:menuVC
contentViewController:contentNavigationController
options:options];
self.window.rootViewController = sideMenuController;
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
After this, the app starts with Navigation bar.
But then, in the TableView If Select the view controllers like this, I have the Navigation Bar but without button to open an close
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
switch (indexPath.row) {
case 0:
{
YPProfileViewController *contentVC = [[YPProfileViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *contentNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:contentVC];
UIButton *iwantView = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 30, 30)];
[iwantView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[iwantView addTarget:self action:#selector(openMenu) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
contentNavigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:iwantView];
[[self sideMenuController] changeContentViewController:contentNavigationController closeMenu:YES];
break;
}
case 1:
{
YPProjectListViewController *contentVC = [[YPProjectListViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *contentNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:contentVC];
[[self sideMenuController] changeContentViewController:contentNavigationController closeMenu:YES];
break;
}
default:{
YPProfileViewController *contentVC = [[YPProfileViewController alloc] init];
[[self sideMenuController] changeContentViewController:contentVC closeMenu:YES];
break;
}
}
}

Answer 1

You are adding the button before the view controller is loaded, you should add it after loading the view in your content view controller.
#implementation YPProfileViewController
---------------
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
UIButton *iwantView = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 30, 30)];
[iwantView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[iwantView addTarget:self action:#selector(openMenu) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:iwantView];
}
Anyway I just added a method to add a menu button on the navigation bar more easily.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
[self addLeftMenuButtonWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"menu_icon"]];
}
