iOS presented UINavigationController gets dismissed after it performs a popViewController - ios

In my app i present a UINavigationController modally with a UIViewController as its rootViewController. I do it in form style. I added a second UIViewController which is also in form style and i can push to it fine. However when i perform a popViewController action after the second UIViewcontroller gets popped onto the first, the whole modally presented UIViewController gets dismissed. However i don't perform any dismissing and the dismissing function doesn't get triggered by accident either.
Any ideas why it's happening?
Sincerely,
Zoli
EDIT:
That's how i'm presenting the modal viewcontrollers with a navcontroller:
if(!welcomeScreenAlreadyPresented) {
welcomeScreenViewController = [[WAWelcomeViewController alloc]init];
}
welcomeScreenNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:welcomeScreenViewController];
[welcomeScreenNavController setModalTransitionStyle: UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[welcomeScreenNavController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[welcomeScreenNavController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:welcomeScreenNavController animated:YES completion:nil];
That's how i'm navigation in WAWelcomeViewController.m
registerViewController = [[WARegisterViewController alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:registerViewController animated:YES];
And in WARegisterViewController.m that's how i pop back
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

What you need to do is put the viewController you want to push inside another UINavigationController.
registerViewController = [[WARegisterViewController alloc]init];
UINavigationController *modalNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:registerViewController]; // autorelease if you are not using ARC
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:^{}];
You might want to add the modalNavigationController as a property to later call popViewControllerAnimated: on it.

Push to a UIViewController from a presentViewController

I want to push to a new viewcontroller from a presented viewcontroller. I don't want to dismiss the presented viewcontroller. I want the new viewcontroller to come over the presented viewcontroller.
Can anybody tell me how to do that.
You do not push form the presented controller so the best option is
First you have to dismiss the controller without animation and then in the method of -(void)viewWillApper you can easly push to the controller where you want to push.
You can do by using UINavigationController like
UINavigationController *vcObject = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"YourViewController"];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:vcObject animated:YES completion:NULL];
Now you can easily push or pop to other ViewController like you want.Thankyou
Open your modalView controller as a new rootViewController :
UINavigationController* navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:nextViewController];
[self.navigationController presentViewController: navController animated:YES completion:nil]

Unable to call navigation controller from present view controller in ios

In my application i am launching one screen using present UIModalViewController and on that screen I have oneUIButton, if we click on that UIButton alert will come then select yes on alert view now we have to call another view usingpushviewcontroller. But screen is not coming if we use below code can any one help me.
[self.navigationController pushViewController:requestViewController animated:YES];
Try with one root navigation controller and then present your controller modally as follows :
FirstViewController *firstView=[[FirstViewController alloc]init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstView];
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
and then for push another view as follow :
SecondViewController *secondView=[[SecondViewController alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondView animated:YES];
It will work first using present modal viewController and then using push navigation viewControllers on to the stack.

Call another class in IOS

I'm new on IOS platform and after study a little about how does it works, i had one doubt about how to call a new class/view and overlay the current view when a button is pressed. In android i do:
Intent intent = new Intent(a.class, b.class);
startActivity(intent);
Searching on internet, i noticed that i have to use navigation bars to do it. I start an app with tab bar controller and putted a navigation controller. I used the code below:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Storyboard" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *myController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Dicas"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: myController animated:YES];
and the return:
There is a way to overlay the current view? I always have to use navigation bars to call another class (use bottom e upper controllers will make my app ugly)?
To hide the navigation bar:
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
To hide tab bar:
yourViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
You can also call another viewController by using presentViewController function of a viewController class.
[self presentViewController: myController animated:YES completion:nil];
As you said u want to overlay your current view so not sure but You can show your view controller using model view like this
yourViewController *secView = [[YourViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"YourViewController" bundle:nil];
[secView setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationPageSheet];//u can use different UIModalPresentationStyle
[secView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:secView animated:YES completion:nil];
Above one will show your view controller over existing view controller, once presented you need to make provision to dismiss this modal view.
Simple way to present new class or ViewController like this..
ViewController *view = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ViewController"];
[self presentViewController:view animated:YES completion:nil];

iOS - how to set a navigation bar item in view controller?

I'm new to Objective-C and I want to add a UINavigationBar on my CatrgoryBIDViewController. I have proceed UIButton in InstructionBIDViewController.m file that should navigate to CatrgoryBIDViewController. Here is the function code:
- (IBAction)proceed:(id)sender {
viewControllercat =
[[CatrgoryBIDViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"CatrgoryBIDViewController"
bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav =
[[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:self.viewControllercat];
//[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllercat animated:YES];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
}
But it is not setting the UINavigationBar.
You should read the documentation here to understand the way a NavigationController is working. For your case:
If your current ViewController (where your proceed-method is implemented) has a NavigationController (is child of it), you can push another ViewController onto the stack of that NavigationController with
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllercat animated:YES];
In this case you do not need to initialize another NavigationController, but in your CatrgoryBIDViewController in viewWillAppear you need to make the NavigationBar visible if it was not before already with
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
If your current ViewController does not have a NavigationController, you can not push another ViewController on top of it and can not show the NavigationBar of it (although you can create your own NavigationBar and add it to the View of the ViewController, but without the usual Navigation-behaviour embedded).
If you open your ViewController programmatically (e. g. from the AppDelegate) you are correct to do so by your call:
viewControllercat = [[CatrgoryBIDViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"CatrgoryBIDViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewControllercat];
My apologies - After having reread your question, I am going to tweak my answer some.
-(IBAction)proceed:(id)sender
{
viewControllercat = [[CatrgoryBIDViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController * nc =
[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
// We now need to display your detail view but cannot push it.
// So display modally
[self presentViewController:nc animated:YES completion:Nil];
}
The above should result in your DetailViewController - CategoryBIDViewController being displayed on top of your InstructionBIDViewController and it should have a UINavigationController in it.

Instantiate UINavigationController on button action

I have simple application with only one main view, which has 'Settings' button, and settings are tree-grouped, so I wand to present them in navigation controller. And I don't want navigationController in main view, because I don't want navigation bar there.
That's why I don't instantiate navigationController in application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:. And when I check self.navigationController in 'Settings' button handler, it returns nil.
So I wrote this: (I use ARC)
- (void)doSettings
{
NSLog(#"%#", self.navigationController); // prints nothing
SettingsViewController *settingsViewController = [SettingsViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[self.view.window setRootViewController:navigationController];
[navigationController pushViewController:settingsViewController animated:YES];
}
This works, although it pushes settingsViewController without animation (don't know why).
Is this generally the correct way to do - to change rootViewController in the middle of running app?
And if yes - than when I'm done with Settings, I probably need to set rootViewController back to current viewController, as it was before I tapped 'Settings'?
I think you want to create a navigation controller that you will present modally; the following will do:
SettingsViewController* settingsViewController = [[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[navigationController pushViewController:settingsViewController animated:YES];
[self presentViewController: navigationController animated: YES completion:nil];
where self here is the view controller you want to trigger the modal view controller from.
since you present modally the navigation controller you can dismiss it within the code source of your settingsViewController by accessing its navigation controller:
[self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion: nil];
To answer your question setting the rootViewController is not the correct way. Present the new vc modally through the presentViewController method.
A better way is to build the navigation vc and present it over your main vc (not replace your main vc).
- (void)doSettings
{
NSLog(#"%#", self.navigationController); // prints nothing
SettingsViewController *settingsViewController = [SettingsViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: settingsViewController];
[self presentViewController: navigationController animated:YES completion:^{}];
}
Your main vc might realize (maybe as a delegate) that the settings flow is complete. It can then dismiss the presented navigation controller with:
- (void)dismissViewControllerAnimated:(BOOL)flag completion:(void (^)(void))completion
Alternatively, the setting flow could dismiss itself...
// somewhere in the settings vc or a vc it pushes, when we decide settings are done
self.navigationController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{}];
Have navigation in main view and have below line (which will hide navigation bar)
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
(I would say have this in viewWillAppear and viewDidLoad both, BUT in viewWillAppear is MUST).
Now in second view, to show navigation bar
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
Hope this will solve your problem...
