I am using storyboards, I have one viewcontroller and on click I need to show another view controller modally. I am trying using this code
[self presentViewController:zoomV animated:YES completion:NULL];
I am coming up with a blank screen.
This is how I create
zViewController *zoomV = [[zViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:zoomV animated:YES completion:NULL];
I tried researching this and some answers revolve around using storyboards and not having a rootviewcontroller associated. So what I have is in the initial scene I have a navigationController, and from there I drag to another Viewcontroller a relationship which defines it as a rootViewcontroller. Is that sufficient ? or is this irrelevant?
Since you have your zViewController in your storyboard, you should instantiate your zViewController using UIStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:.
In your first view controller, instead of creating the zViewController using alloc/init do this, of course setting an identifier for your zViewController in your storyboard.
zViewController *zoomV = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"yourIdentifier"];
[self presentViewController:zoomV
animated:YES
completion:NULL];
Also you could accomplish the same using a segue and executing it directly, without the need of instantiating the zViewController, but is up to you.
As a second(small) comment, do not name classes starting with lowercase in ObjC :).
You may refer below snippet for story board:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
AddNameViewController *sfvc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"AddNameViewController.m"];
[sfvc setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[self presentViewController:sfvc animated:YES completion:nil];

I'm trying to figure out how to preform transitions between different views just with code, without storyboard. For example, on a button press.
- (IBAction)nextClass
{
// insert transition between views
}
I know this is possible, I was just wondering what the actual code would be to make this happen.
Not 100% sure if I am understanding your question correctly, but I think you can just say:
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
The name "ViewController" after initWithNibName should be the name of the .xib file that contains the UI for ViewController. Let me know if this is what you are looking for!
EDIT:
Mungbeans brings up a good point. If you are using a navigation controller, you should say:
ViewController *vc = [[ViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
I have a few view controllers with the same classes.
How can I differentiate between them when segueing to a specific one?
Normally I would use this code to do it, but this only works when there is a single instance of the class:
SecondViewController *secondview = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:secondview animated:YES completion:nil];
You have these option:
-Use storyboard and so, use segues;
-Use storyboard and use:
ExploreViewController *ev = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ProfileViewController"];
-Don't use storyboard and so you have just to set the nib name in "initWithNibName" in according of the viewcontrollers which you want show.
Currently I am using two iPad storyboards in my project.
The first storyboard has a Login screen and a tableview controller. I want to call the second storyboard from the first storyboard tableview controller, when the cell is clicked. Normally it's easy, but here the second story board has a UISplitViewController.
MainSVC *baseView = [[MainSVC alloc] init]; //UISplitViewController
UIStoryboard *storyBoard=[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Mail_iPad" bundle:nil]; //Second Storyboard
baseView =[storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MainSVC"]; //MainSVC = Storyboard Name
[self presentViewController:baseView animated:YES completion:nil];
This code is not working. I searched in google, but couldn't find the best solution.
How can I call second storyboard splitview controller programmatically?
Use this code. This should be work. !
UIStoryboard *storyBoard=[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Mail_iPad" bundle:nil];
UISplitViewController *split = [storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MainSVC"];
self.view.window.rootViewController = split;
Do not allocate another instance of split view controller. It should be done like this
UIStoryboard *storyBoard=[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Mail_iPad" bundle:nil]; //Second Storyboard
MainSVC *baseView =(MainSVC *)[storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MainSVC"]; //MainSVC = Storyboard Name
[self presentViewController:baseView animated:YES completion:nil];
How can you push to another view controller without prepareForSegue?
myClassVC *viewController = [myClassVC alloc];
UIStoryboardSegue *segue = [[UIStoryboardSegue alloc] initWithIdentifier:#"pushToMyVC" source:self destination:viewController];
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"pushToMyVC"]) {
NSLog(#"logging");
myClassVC *viewController = (myClassVC *)[segue destinationViewController];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
If you want to programmatically invoke a push segue, you give the segue a "storyboard id" in Interface Builder and then you can:
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:"pushToMyVC" sender:self];
Alternatively, if you don't want to perform the segue, you can instantiate the destination view controller and then manually push to that view controller. All you need to do is to make sure that the destination view controller has its own "storyboard id" in Interface Builder, then you can:
UIViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"DestinationController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
You said "push" (and hence I used pushViewController above). If you really meant to "present a modal view controller", then that second line is:
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
As you can see, you don't have to use prepareForSegue to push to new scene. You only use prepareForSegue if you want to pass information to the destination view controller. Otherwise it is not needed.
Clearly, if you're not using storyboards (e.g., you're using NIBs), then the process is entirely different. But I assume you're not using NIBs because prepareForSegue is not applicable in that environment. But if you were using NIB, it would be as follows:
SecondViewController *controller = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil]; is not needed, as the segue will push the destination view controller using the transition you selected automatically.
If you don't want to use the segue process you'll need to manually push the view controller with:
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
but make sure you remove the segues in the Storyboard first.
NSString * storyboardName = #"Main";
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle: nil];
UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"SecondViewControllerID"];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
In my case all viewControllers are built dynamically. I do not make use of the storyboard for this purpose. Should this be your case you may just instantiate the viewController class you want to open and make a push as in my example below:
MyViewController* myViewController = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myViewController animated:YES];
UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard"
bundle: nil];
MenuScreenViewController *controller = (MenuScreenViewController*)[mainStoryboard
instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: #"<Controller ID>"];
Where exactly do i write this code if i have to make sure that the current view is instantiated with the identifier? Which means if i write any code on this class it has to appear when this viewcontroller loads? Also how would i use it? I dont want to create an instance of the menuscreenviewcontroller. WHich means i have to say self but i used self.view and that doesnt work.
You need to push or present the view controller that you have created. You can not directly change views of the controllers by instantiating.
For example you need to use this code to trigger the transition (maybe a button action):
MenuScreenViewController* controller = (MenuScreenViewController*)[ourStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"<Controller ID>"];
controller.controlFlag = YES;
controller.controlFlag2 = NO; // Just examples
//These flags will be set before the viewDidLoad of MenuScreenViewController
//Therefore any code you write before pushing or presenting the view will be present after
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
// or [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES];
As per Uğur Kumru's answer, with a small edit: if you are not using a Navigation Controller, and you are developing against iOS 5.0+ you will need to use:
MenuScreenViewController* controller = (MenuScreenViewController*)[ourStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"<Controller ID>"];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
If you omit the completion:nil you will face errors
