I have multiple storyboards within my app. I want to pass an object when a new storyboard is opened.
I'am doing this:
UIStoryboard* storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"SetupStoryboard" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
UINavigationController* initialHelpView = [storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];
SetupViewController *setup = (SetupViewController*) [initialHelpView topViewController];
setup.data = self.data;
initialHelpView.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:initialHelpView animated:YES completion:nil];
But when the storyboard is presented the setup.data is nil in viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear etc of the SetupViewController...
Why is that?
I don't see anything wrong with this code. Problem may be elsewhere.

I need to present a view controller from app delegate.
When a phone notification comes in, I am able to decide which one of 3 view controllers (named ForumViewController, BlogViewController & NewsViewController) should be presented by analyzing the 'userInfo' in the method 'didReceiveRemoteNotification'.
But when i try to present the appropriate view controller using storyboards or the code below:
self.viewController = [[MembersViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MembersViewController" bundle:nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
Then, the app gives the error 'Warning: Attempt to present whose view is not in the window hierarchy!'. Also it gets stuck on a particular view controller.
Please keep in mind that the view controllers that I am trying to present are not part of the flow when the app starts (the flow is LogoViewController -> SplashViewController -> HomeViewController).
The HomeViewController & MembersViewController are essentially the main menu pages for public & private viewing. Here I have to display something to the viewer.
choice-1
using push
UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)self.window.rootViewController;
MembersViewController *vc = [navController.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MembersViewController"];
[navController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
using present
MembersViewController *root = (MembersViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
UIViewController *vc = [root.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MembersViewController"];
[root presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:NULL];
upadted
UIStoryboard *mainstoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
MembersViewController* pvc = [mainstoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MembersViewController"];
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:pvc animated:YES completion:NULL];
Loading a view controller from the storyboard:
[self performSelector: #selector(ShowModalViewController) withObject: nil afterDelay: 0];
-(void)ShowModalViewController{
NSString * storyboardName = #"MainStoryboard";
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle: nil];
UIViewController * vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"IDENTIFIER_OF_YOUR_VIEWCONTROLLER"];
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
Identifier of your view controller is either equal to the class name of your view controller, or a Storyboard ID that you can assign in the identity inspector of your storyboard.
I have a certain UINavigationController in storyboard I present modally from another view controller:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *myNavController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myNavController"];
[self presentViewController:myNavController animated:YES completion:nil];
This navigation controller has set another UIViewController as its root view controller in storyboard. I'd like to set some properties for this root view controller before it is shown, but I tried this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *myNavController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myNavController"];
[self presentViewController:myNavController animated:YES completion:nil];
MyRootViewController *myRootViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myRootViewController"];
[myRootViewController setSelectedItem:selectedItem];
[myRootViewController setDelegate:self];
But the root view controller doesn't seem to be loaded yet when I try to set its properties...
How could I do this? Thanks
If you had debugged, you will find the myRootViewController made by MyRootViewController *myRootViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myRootViewController"];
isn't the myNavController's real rootViewController.
This method -instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: just give you a whole new UIViewController instance.
So, If you want get the real rootViewController, just replace it with following:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *myNavController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myNavController"];
MyRootViewController *myRootViewController = myNavController.viewControllers[0];
[myRootViewController setSelectedItem:selectedItem];
[myRootViewController setDelegate:self];
[self presentViewController:myNavController animated:YES completion:nil];
I change the view programmatically like that:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"edit"];
vc.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
The problem is, that when I change the view, that the data are not completely loaded. How can I say, that it should wait, until the data is loaded?
I use two buttons on right UIBARBUTTON by writing code in the method[ViewDidLoad].

I want to use +plus button to move to AddNameViewController but it results in a Fail[sigabrt].

I think the error is in the following code.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
AddNameViewController *sfvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"AddNameViewController.m"];
[sfvc setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:sfvc animated:YES completion:nil];
Change this:
AddNameViewController *sfvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"AddNameViewController.m"]
For this:
AddNameViewController *sfvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"AddNameViewController"]
You need the name of the View Controller, not the file.
Like Antonio said, you need the correct identifier for your view controller. The reason it crashes is because you get a nil view controller pointer back from the instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: call and passing nil to presentViewController:animated:completion: causes your crash.
check this
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
AddNameViewController *sfvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"AddNameViewController"];
[sfvc setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:sfvc animated:YES completion:nil];
and add identifier AddNameViewController in storyboard ID
Sorry, I did not check carefully before asking. Because I tried many ways to improve it. Although, I change AddNameViewController.m to AddNameViewController ,
It still show sigabrt.
I am trying the "pass the baton" method for passing the managedObjectContext (MOC) thru multiple views. I have it successfully passed to the rootViewController. From there I move to a tabBarController via presentViewController. I can't seem to find a way to pass the MOC when the tabBarController is pushed.
AppDelegate.m
UIViewController *navigationController = (UIViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
MyViewController *controller = (MyViewController *) navigationController;
controller.managedObjectContext = managedObjectStore.mainQueueManagedObjectContext;
The main view controller is basically a start up screen that will kick you into a login screen or if you are already logged in, to the tabBarController. Below is where I transition to the tabBarController from within the viewDidAppear method.
MyViewController.m
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *mainTabVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
The tabBarController in the storyboard has the identifier "mainTabVC".
I've tried lines like
MyTabBarController.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
but I get the error Property 'MOC' not found on object of type MyTabBarController even though I do have the property declared in MyTabBarController.h
Could someone show me a line of code that I can throw in this segue to push the MOC to the tab bar controller.
BTW- I'm utilizing RestKit in this app if that changes the way I should be handling this please let me know.
*****Solution********
To make things clear for any other new guys with the same question. I went from this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *mainTabVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
To this:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
MyTabBarViewController *mainTabVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
mainTabVC.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
Notice the assignment in the third line and using MyTabBarViewController instead of UIViewController in the second line. BIG thanks again to rdelmar!
Your code is somewhat confusing. Is MyTabBarController the class? It looks like mainTabVC is your instance. You should use that rather than the class, and you should change the type when you instantiate mainTabVC to MyTabBarController, instead of UITabBarController. You also don't need to get the storyboard the way you do, you can just use self.storyboard.
MyTabBarController *mainTabVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainTabVC"];
mainTabVC.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
[mainTabVC setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:mainTabVC animated:NO completion:nil];
