Here is my current problem. I have a UIViewController setup with its data and everything on a small sized view controller. What I am trying to see is if it is possible to connect that to a separate view controller. For example I have a view controller that has a user click a button. Upon pressing the button the UIPicker ViewController would pop up from the bottom and I could go from there. I know how to enable this if the picker is on the same view controller. However, I have no idea how to if its on its own ViewController. Any ideas?
One way to do this would be to put the picker view on the same view controller and make it hidden, and, when they press the button, unhide it or load the other view controller when they press the button; this will display the other view controller, not what's on the current one.

I don't know how to do this. I have a view created in Storyboard containing a picker wheel and slightly below a button.
Now if the user clicks a button in my view controller I want this "view container" slided in from the top and as soon as this button (within this view container) is clicked, the view should slide out to the top again. But how can I do this? As said I created this view container completely in my storyboard over my main view controller but don't know how to program this and also not what to do with the vertical constraints?
You want this view to be managed by a view controller. When the button is tapped, you call the view controller with a down animation. When the button under the picker wheel is tapped, you dismiss the view controller with a top animation.
I have a TabBarApplication with four views in the main TabBarItem. The problem comes when I go to any of these views and click in any button to go to another view and when I go back by a button linked to the main view, the TabBarItem of the app disappear!!
For example, one view of the app is a tableView in which each element of the list is linked to his external view and it has a back button that should return to the tableView. All the segues are by modal, not push because push segue crash the application and by modal it runs correctly but the problem comes when I returned by clicking the back button of the NavigationItem in the header of the view to his main view and the TabBarItem of the app is not there, is empty.
Each tab should have the view controller set to a navigation controller, with the view controller you want set as the root view controller of the navigation controller. Now you can use push segues and the standard back button that will be added for you. This will bypass the issue (and work much better for you and users).
You current issue is likely related to not really ever going back. Instead, just always presenting new modal view controllers which replace any existing content on screen.
I am creating an app that uses a UITabController with 5 tabs for navigation. Right now my app loads the first tab as the initial view upon app loading.
I want to be able to change that so I have a view that doesn't use my UITabController as the initial view, and once they click the one button on it, it brings them to the First View and displays the TabController.
I thought I'd simply set up a new view, change that one to the initial view controller and have a segue from the button to the TabController, but when I tried that and the view I wanted to with the button loaded first, but when clicking button it said something about needing to set up a NavigationController? Not sure what to do from here.
I think it's best to leave your tab bar controller as the window's root view controller. You can present the initial view controller from the viewDidAppear method of the controller in the first tab, using presentViewController:animated:completion:. Do this with the animated parameter set to NO, and the initial view will be the first thing the user sees. When you're done with that view, just dismiss it, and you'll be back to the first tab's view.
I would like to add a close button outside the bounds of the modal view controller which I am presenting on an iPad app.
I tried adding a button normally via storyboard, via coding, but the UIButtons view gets clipped by the bounds of the modal view controller.
What my purpose is : I want to add a close button at the right corner of my modal view controller which is configured as a Form sheet.
I'm launching the modal view controller via a segue from my previous view.
Attached screenshot show what I am trying to achieve:
In my app delegate I create a UISplitViewController. I set the delegate to be the detailViewController.
When I run my app in portrait, I have the left top popover button showing that will slide out the split view master.
Then I have a button in my detail view that resets the splitviewcontroller array with a new detail view controller and sets the split view delegate to that controller.
The second detail view displays properly... but I lose my popover button on the second view controller.
Does anyone know how I can get that button to remain on all of my detail view controllers I may add?
Thanks!
See http://www.raywenderlich.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1546 for what I find to be a good approach.
It involves setting the SplitViewController delegate to be the master instead of the detail. The master keeps references to the popoverController and the button, and each time the delegate methods are called (hide and show master) it gets the current detail view and performs the necessary action (add in the button/remove button and popovercontroller).
The master defines a protocol for "SubstituableDetailView" which contains the two methods for showing/hiding the button.
