I was using that method for pushing another UIViewController in if condition :
initViewController *MW = [initViewController alloc];
MW = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"init"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:MW animated:YES];
Now i've changed my architecture and i just removed my Navigation controller. That's why , these steps will not help me any longer due to no NavigationController exist. Now how can i push another ViewController without pressing button -(IBAction) . I just wanted to use it in Storyboard.
Regards.
FYI : without UINavigationController You can't push to another Controller . You can produce a Controller using
PresentViewController
[self presentViewController:objPortrit animated:YES completion:^{ }];
For Ex:
initViewController *MW = [initViewController alloc];
MW = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"init"];
[self presentViewController:MW animated:YES completion:^{
}];
EDIT:
For your comment :
after producing the ViewController with PresentViewController, You need to dismiss it to produce another ViewController .
You can get over from this , something like this in their respective ViewController Use his method. :
-(void)viewDidDisappear {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

I'm trying to push a new view controller on screen with an animation but this doesn't work. I use this code :
PhotosViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:vcID];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
But even by setting animated:YES there is no animation.
Do you know what can cause this ?
Thanks in advance
I have a UIViewControllerC which is call from two another UIViewcontroller
ViewControllerA
ViewControllerB
From ViewControllerA to go to UIViewControllerC i have to make it presentviewcontroller
UIViewControllerC *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"UIViewControllerC"];
[vc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
vc.tagfrom=#"present";
[self presentViewController:vc animated:NO completion:nil];
From ViewControllerB to go to UIViewControllerC i have to make it push view
UIViewControllerC *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"UIViewControllerC"];
[vc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
vc.tagfrom=#"push";
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
Now i have to back from both view on back button i check tagfrom condition and handle it
-(IBAction)backBtn:(id)sender
{
if ([tagfrom isEqualToString:#"present"])
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
}
else
{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
Which working fine in both senerio, but sometimes my push view behaves like presentmodelveiw, and having no transition effects in it, please help me to resolve it
First of all, you don't need tagfrom property on your UIViewController subclass.
A UIViewController instance has a property called presentingViewController which will let you know about the viewController ( A in your case ) that presented current viewController ( C in your case ).
-(IBAction)backBtn:(id)sender
{
if (nil != self.presentingViewController) {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
}
else {
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
Second, modalTransitionStyle is supposed to work with only presentation and NOT push / pop transitions. If you are using this with push / pop, the behavior is undefined because it is not meant to be used there.
EDIT
After some more digging around it has become apparent that if i try to call a segue from the view controller class after a fast application switch to/from Safari i get an exception stating that the segue does not exist. It definitely does, in the VC that is loaded on screen, and i have checked the spelling and it's 100% correct.
What makes it even weirder is that if i call that exact same method from an IBAction it works fine.
Here's the code i am using:
-(void)goToPhotoPage{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"twitterAuthComplete" sender:self];
}
If i call this when the app resumes i get an exception, however if i call it from this IBAction, attached to a UIButton, with doing nothing different the segue works as expected and no exception.
- (IBAction)twitterToPhoto:(id)sender
{
[self goToPhotoPage];
}
Arrrrgrghrhhgrgrg!
ORIGINAL QUESTION
I am working on an iPad application that uploads user photos to Facebook/Twitter.
As part of the process i have to jump to Safari to do OAuth for twitter, the app then jumps back via a specific URL and get's the tokens e.t.c
However for some reason when the application re-awakes i cannot trigger any segue's or manually load any VC's.
I have a success block in my AppDelegae which get's called when the upload is complete which calls a method in the VC to close a spinner and segue to the success view.
The spinner stops as expected, but no matter what i try i cannot get the segue to work.
Everything is hooked up, the segue has an ID and i get no error or exceptions in the console, just nothing happens. The only way i can get code triggered segue to work after this point is to use a user trigger one connect to a UIButton, after that one complete they start to work again.
Here is the code with callback in my AppDelegate:
- (void)postToTwitter:(NSString*)postText image:(UIImage*)image
{
NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.5);
[_twitter postStatusUpdate:postText
mediaDataArray:#[data]
possiblySensitive:nil
inReplyToStatusID:nil
latitude:nil
longitude:nil
placeID:nil
displayCoordinates:nil
uploadProgressBlock:^(NSInteger bytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
} successBlock:^(NSDictionary *status) {
ViewController * vc = [[ViewController alloc]init];
[vc triggerSuccess];
} errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
ViewController * vc = [[ViewController alloc]init];
[vc uploadFail:error];
}];
}
in the VC i have tried the following:
- (void)triggerSuccess
{
[self segueToSuccess];
}
- (void)segueToSuccess
{
[self hideMessage];
[self.navigationController performSegueWithIdentifier:#"approveSegue" sender:self];
}
As well as:
- (void)triggerSuccess
{
[self segueToSuccess];
}
- (void)segueToSuccess
{
[self hideMessage];
UIViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"done"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
In a moment of pure desperation i even tried:
- (void)triggerSuccess
{
[self segueToSuccess];
}
- (void)segueToSuccess
{
[self hideMessage];
//[self.navigationController performSegueWithIdentifier:#"approveSegue" sender:self];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[self performSelector:#selector(segueToSuccessPart2) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.25];
}
- (void)segueToSuccessPart2
{
UIViewController *controller = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"done"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
I've obviously missed something, and i'm guessing it's to do with the application going into the background and the VC being "unloaded" from memory, and needing re-instatiating, but i'm not sure where to begin with that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm about to throw the computer out of the window . .
Thanks
Gareth
Edit 1
After doing some more troubleshooting it appears that during this call in the VC:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
self.navigationController is nil . . .
I'm guessing that is likely the cause of the issues i'm seeing?
Edit 2
So as suggested by Kelin, i am trying to make sure i retain the Navigation Controller.
I have done the following in AppDelegte:
#property (nonatomic, strong) UINavigationController *navController;
and
#synthesize navController;
But when i try to access this from the VC using the below code, it's still nil . .
AppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
UINavigationController *navController = appDelegate.navController;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
[navController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
Edit 3
I have also added this to the AppDelegate, which means the Navigation Controller is no longer nil. But still nothing happens . . .
if (!self.navController)
{
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithNibName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
}
The problem is you trying to perform segue from storyboard using programmatically created View Controller.
You use -performSegueWithIdentifier: sender: completely wrong. In this method "sender" is a button, or any other control which action initialises segue, but not the view controller to be pushed.
Usually segue is created with storyboard. But if you really need to create it manually, call:
-[UIStoryboardSegue initWithIdentifier:source:destination:]
where source and destination are view controllers.
Read this: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-interface_builder/articles-storyboard/StoryboardSegue.html
or this (about custom segues):
You can not do both dismiss and pop together either you have to pop or dismiss the view controller and
Every ViewController have it's own NavigationController which is default point out to navigation controller you added to AppDelegate.
So, You also can access it by self.navigationController (Edit 3)
Also check whether you initialised navigation controller in
AppDelegate
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstVC];
My UIViewController stack looks as follows:
+------ UIViewController_C (presented)
+---- UIViewController_B (presented)
+-- UIViewController_A (pushed)
When I call -dismissViewController:animated on UIViewController_C, UINavigationController dismisses both UIViewController_C and UIViewController_B together, as per the docs with animation on _C, and none on _B.
What is the most compliant way to dismiss _C only?
try as below
after pushing to UIViewController_A present UIViewController_B as below code.
UIViewController_B *bbp=[[UIViewController_B alloc]initWithNibName:#"UIViewController_B" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *passcodeNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:bbp];
passcodeNavigationController.navigationBar.hidden=YES;
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:passcodeNavigationController animated:YES];
[passcodeNavigationController release];
now from UIViewController_B try to present in UIViewController_C as below code.
UIViewController_C *bbp=[[UIViewController_C alloc]initWithNibName:#"UIViewController_C" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *passcodeNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:bbp];
passcodeNavigationController.navigationBar.hidden=YES;
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:passcodeNavigationController animated:YES];
[passcodeNavigationController release];
last and final thing on every back button of view controller write below line of code.
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
if you want more help than comment bellow.
One Solution:
UIViewControllers presented modally are not necessarily deallocated on -dismissViewController:animated.
This means that by passing a reference to UIViewController_A through _B to _C, you can call -presentViewController:animated and -dismissViewController:animated for the respective UIViewControllers via UIViewController_A.
Code:
1. UIViewController_B
- (void) showUIViewController_C {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:TRUE completion:^{
UIViewController_C *controller_C = [[UIViewController_C alloc] init];
controller_C.parentController = self;
[self.parentController controller_C animated:TRUE completion:nil];
}];
}
2. UIViewController_C
- (void) dismissUIViewController_C {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:TRUE completion:^{
[self.parentController.parentController presentViewController:self.parentController animated:TRUE completion:nil];
}];
}
Where I am using *parentController as the naming convention for whatever class your previous UIViewController on the stack may be.
It dips back to UIViewController_A briefly because I am calling -dismiss and -present in the completion block, though that actually looks rather fun.
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.
