UIBarButtonItem registers click event next to button, not on button - ios

I got the popup, used at 2 locations within my app, one time in a navigation controller one time without navigation controller,
i got one button in a uitoolbar (select button) but this button has it's own life for some reason
The one in the navigation controller is working perfectly.
But the one called without navigation controller resizes this popup so i resized it back in the code like
- (void)showModal:(UIViewController *)controller
{
[controller setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:NO completion:nil]; //Method used without navigationcontroller
[controller.view setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0, 600, 748)]; //resize => button doesn't work at all
//[controller.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 600, 748)]; //resize => button only registers click event left from the actual button
//[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"show modal" object:controller]; // Method used within navigationcontroller
}
I've been looking all over google but i can't find anything on this problem.
Hope I have more luck here.

Probably the easy way to sort this problem out is to put it in a UINavigationController and use that to pop up. Then you don't have to use a UIToolBar.
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewControllerToPopUp];
[viewController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
This way the viewController you are presenting stays simple and you already know the button works when it is a navigation controller :)

Build Hierarchy in Tabbarcontroller with Navigationcontroller

I have a Tabbarcontroller filled with 5 Viewcontrollers and Navigationcontrollers as I did here:
[self addChildViewController:VC1];
[self addChildViewController:NavigationController;
[self addChildViewController:VC2];
[self addChildViewController:VC3];
[self addChildViewController:VC4];
Now the thing is, that pressing a button on my Tabbar gets me to every ViewController easily, where I can present Xib-Files etc.
But now I want to have a Navigationcontroller, which is shown when pressing a button on my Tabbar. This Navigationcontroller itself has several Viewcontrollers.
I tried this to present my first Viewcontroller inside my Navigationcontroller (this code is from the Navigationcontroller.m):
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self addChildViewController:VC5];
[self presentViewController:VC5];
}
This expectedly did not work and gave me: Application tried to present modally an active controller.
Is there a good way to achieve such a specific goal? I'm struggling with this problem. Thanks in advance!
edit: This is how I set it up in my storyboard. In my programmatic approach the first view controller is not shown.
Instead of adding the VC5 view controller to the NavigationController as a child (unless it's meant to be a child?) add it as the root view controller when you add the NavigationController to the tab bar.
For example in your tab bar code:
[self addChildViewController:VC1];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:VC5];
[self addChildViewController:navigationController];
[self addChildViewController:VC2];
[self addChildViewController:VC3];
[self addChildViewController:VC4];
Apple docs on UINavigationController are here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UINavigationController_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UINavigationController/initWithRootViewController:

Same view controller loads twice on click of button

I want to show a controller as pop-up on click of a button. Suppose I have VC1 that has button, then on click of that the VC2 should load as a pop up. It is working to some extent. But I don't' know for what reason the VC2 is loading twice and the second time it loads it shows black background. Here is my code:
On click of button below function gets called in VC1,
VC2* childVC = [[VC2 alloc]init];
childVC.view.hidden = YES;
[self addChildViewController:childVC];
[self.view addSubview:childVC.view];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"goToVC2" sender:self];
In VC2 viewdidload,
self.view.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor]colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5];
How can I make VC2 appear as a pop up properly?
You don't need to segue and add the child view controller's view to the current view controller's view hierarchy. You should do one or the other. I would suggest the segue as that is a more apple approved approach. So change this:
VC2* childVC = [[VC2 alloc]init];
childVC.view.hidden = YES;
[self addChildViewController:childVC];
[self.view addSubview:childVC.view];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"goToVC2" sender:self];
to
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"goToVC2" sender:self];

SWRevealViewController project in iOS

Note: Problem solved.
Here comes the story. I am using RevealViewController in my project. I am also hiding the navigationBars:
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden];
My project can be seen in the picture below and the "menuButton" is implemented in the tabBarViewController.
Since the navigationBar is hidden due to my interface looks, all tabViews (HomeViewController) will not show the menuButton and the navigationBar as supposed to. I am not using panGestureRecognizer to trigger the menu aswell.
This means I have a problem to trigger the menu via a normal button in HomeViewController. The menuButton-event is placed in tabBarViewController.m:
_menuButton.target = self.revealViewController;
_menuButton.action = #selector(revealToggle:);
So I tried to call a method from HomeViewController to fire the button in tabBarViewController like this:
HomeViewController.m
- (IBAction) onMenuClicked: (id)sender{
tabBar = [[tabBarViewController alloc] init];
[tabBar setupMenu]:
}
tabBarViewController.m
-(void) setupMenu{
[_realMenuButton sendActionForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[_realMenuButton addTarget:self.revealViewController action:#selector(revealToggle:) UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
In this example I tried to make the realMenuButton and normal UIButton. Ive also tried as a UIBarButtonItem just to trigger the #selector(revealToggle:) But nothing happens in the app when I try to trigger the button from HomeViewController.
Not sure how I shall make this work. Any other Ideas or tricks? Please be specific if so! Regards
Yes, it will still work.
SWRevealViewController is just a subclass of a UIViewController, so you can use it at any point in the app:
By calling presentViewController:animated at some point.
By using it in a navigation stack etc.
Note that you can add gestures from SWRevealViewController to its content view controllers, which will alter the behaviour of used in a navigation view controller, but that's to be expected, and you still have full control over its behaviour.
Edit
The UI structure of your app is still not clear to me - it looks like you're trying to call revealToggle on an instance of SWRevealViewController when the VC in view is infact HomeViewController? How would this work, when SWVC is not even in view?
My best guess is that your UI structure should be as follows:
TabBarController --->(root)UINavigationController --->(root)SWRevealViewController.
Then, on your SWRevealViewController, set HomeViewController as the front view controller, and the TableViewController as the right or left view controller.
Do you mean like this?
it is possible. you can set the menu button in your tabBarController.m, like this :
UIBarButtonItem *menu = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"menu.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:revealController action:#selector(revealToggle:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = menu;
self.delegate = self;
For me, my initial view controller is the login screen (obviously I don't need reveal any VC here...). then when user tap the login button,
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:yourRootVC];
LeftMenuViewController *leftMenuVC = [[LeftMenuViewController alloc]init];
SWRevealViewController *revealController = [[SWRevealViewController alloc]initWithRearViewController:leftMenuVC frontViewController:nav];
revealController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:revealController animated:YES completion:nil];
I've tried it and it should work as normal. Even it isn't initial view controller

start 1 view controller 2 buttons that lead to 2 different view controllers

I have the first ViewController that has 2 buttons on it. One to go to ViewController1 when clicked and the other to go to ViewController2 when clicked. When i click the first button it takes me to ViewController1 but when i click the second button it goes to a black screen and gives the warning:
Warning: Attempt to present on while a presentation is in progress!
What am I doing wrong?
Here is my code:
-(IBAction)goToYourClosetViewController: (id)sender{
YourClosetViewController *closet = [[YourClosetViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:closet animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
-(IBAction)goToPlanOutfitViewController: (id)sender{
PlanOutfitViewController *planOutfit = [[PlanOutfitViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self presentViewController:planOutfit animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
Are you pressing the first button and then the second button in rapid succession by any chance?
If that's it then you need to disable your buttons while the modal presentation is in progress, and re-enable them in your completion blocks.
If not, then how are you displaying the first view controller? (The one that contains these 2 buttons)
You are probably trying open the second view controller before you close the first view controller. That's the kind of error message in such cases.
When you go back to your initial view controller from either first or second view controller, do this:
[FirstViewControllerInstance dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Have a Button call a UITabBar Application on iOS

I am making an application that has a UITabBar and it works just fine, however I want to add a first screen which contains some instructions and a logo, then a button and when said button is pressed to show the UITabBar I've tried for a couple of days to do this on my own with no luck, I'm not even sure if it can be done, could anyone help me out? or give me a lead?
Try setting up the tab bar application, and then showing the first screen over it as a modalViewController. Inside your main app's viewController:
FirstViewController *firstViewController = [FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstView" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:firstViewController animated:NO];
[firstViewController release];
When the button is pressed inside the modal view, call:
[[self parentViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
to get rid of it. You can adjust the animation style for the dismissal, or use NO instead to have it just disappear.
