Push a View from popOver in ipad - ios

I open a popOver with a view(DetailView) in a view(MapView). it works fine.
But in my detail view has a button(feedback).so i want to push the another view(feedbackform)on btton clicked.
I tried but nothing is Happened.
Can i push the view inside the popover?
My code is as follow:
// MapView.m
detailsView *popUp=[[detailsView alloc] initWithNibName:#"detailsView_ipad" bundle:nil];
popView = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:popUp];
popView.delegate =self;
[popView setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(600, 500)];
[popView presentPopoverFromRect:control.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
//Detailview.m
-(IBAction)openFeedbackForm:(id)sender {
fbView = [[deatailsFeedback alloc]
initWithNibName:#"deatailsFeedback_ipad" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:fbView animated:YES];
}

To achieve this your detailsView should be a Navigation controller with a root controller to the original detailsView.
This way when you pop the navigationController, you can perform push from your detailsView and that would only affect the popOver view
detailsView *popUpView=[[detailsView alloc] initWithNibName:#"detailsView_ipad" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *popUpNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:popUpView];
popView = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:popUpNavController];
popView.delegate =self;
[popView setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(600, 500)];
[popView presentPopoverFromRect:control.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];
}
//Detailview.m
-(IBAction)openFeedbackForm:(id)sender {
fbView = [[deatailsFeedback alloc]
initWithNibName:#"deatailsFeedback_ipad" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:fbView animated:YES];
}

If I understand your code correctly, openFeedForm IBAction method is in Detailview.m?
Meaning the first part of the code is in a different class than the one at the bottom?
If so, since Detailview itself is not in a navigationController, it will not push anything to its non-existant navigation controller.
What you want to do is have MapView push the new view in its navigationController.
Side note: since you are setting the delegate of the popUp in MapView as (self) the IBAction method should be defined in MapView
(This is assuming my first statement about understanding your code is correct)

iOS - how to set a navigation bar item in view controller?

I'm new to Objective-C and I want to add a UINavigationBar on my CatrgoryBIDViewController. I have proceed UIButton in InstructionBIDViewController.m file that should navigate to CatrgoryBIDViewController. Here is the function code:
- (IBAction)proceed:(id)sender {
viewControllercat =
[[CatrgoryBIDViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"CatrgoryBIDViewController"
bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav =
[[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:self.viewControllercat];
//[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllercat animated:YES];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
}
But it is not setting the UINavigationBar.
You should read the documentation here to understand the way a NavigationController is working. For your case:
If your current ViewController (where your proceed-method is implemented) has a NavigationController (is child of it), you can push another ViewController onto the stack of that NavigationController with
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllercat animated:YES];
In this case you do not need to initialize another NavigationController, but in your CatrgoryBIDViewController in viewWillAppear you need to make the NavigationBar visible if it was not before already with
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
If your current ViewController does not have a NavigationController, you can not push another ViewController on top of it and can not show the NavigationBar of it (although you can create your own NavigationBar and add it to the View of the ViewController, but without the usual Navigation-behaviour embedded).
If you open your ViewController programmatically (e. g. from the AppDelegate) you are correct to do so by your call:
viewControllercat = [[CatrgoryBIDViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"CatrgoryBIDViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *nav=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewControllercat];
My apologies - After having reread your question, I am going to tweak my answer some.
-(IBAction)proceed:(id)sender
{
viewControllercat = [[CatrgoryBIDViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController * nc =
[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
// We now need to display your detail view but cannot push it.
// So display modally
[self presentViewController:nc animated:YES completion:Nil];
}
The above should result in your DetailViewController - CategoryBIDViewController being displayed on top of your InstructionBIDViewController and it should have a UINavigationController in it.

How to connect UIPopoverViewController in StoryBoard

I am trying to implement UIPopoverController. I have seen some sample code but still confused on how to connect the popover view controller to storyboard. Help please.
if (!patientPopover) {
UIStoryboard * storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"MyStoryboard" bundle:nil];
MyViewController * addPacientController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"MyViewController"];
UINavigationController * myNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:MyViewController];
patientPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:myNavController];
patientPopover.delegate = self; // optional
}
[patientPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:yourInstanceBarButtonItemOrMethodArgumentAttachedToTheBarButtonItem permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
It's good to have your popover in an instance variable so that you avoid allocating it each time you press the button. I am using here presenting the popover from a UIBarButtonItem, but you can also present it from any view, like :
[patientPopover presentPopoverFromRect:yourView.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
You don't need to visually see the actual popover in the storyboard or nib file, because it is only a container. You just need to see what goes inside it, and that is the view controller, and obviously, you can do that.

Change displayed view in a UIPopoverView

So I'm presenting a UIPopoverView like so:
if (self.BStatePopoverViewController == nil) {
RedStatePopoverViewController *settings =
[[RedStatePopoverViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"RedState"
bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
UIPopoverController *popover =
[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:settings];
popover.delegate = self;
self.BStatePopoverViewController = popover;
}
[BStatePopoverViewController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 445)];
[self.BStatePopoverViewController presentPopoverFromRect:[sender bounds] inView:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
Once the view is loaded in the popover, I have a button which I'd like to use to present a new UIViewController within the popover. I tried just presenting it as a modal view but this changes the parent view as opposed to the one in the popover:
PopupDischargeViewController * dischargeview = [[PopupDischargeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PopupDischargeViewController" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:dischargeview animated:NO];
Any help as to how I do this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
To change the view controller the popover should display once it's been initialized use UIPopoverController's method – setContentViewController:animated:
You could also add your RedStatePopoverViewController to a UINavigationController and use its methods – pushViewController:animated: and – popViewControllerAnimated: to navigate between view controllers
Hope this helps!

Popover view controller not showing

I have a login view which I want to display in popover. I am doing this from code as below:
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"MainStoryboard_%#", isIPAD ? #"iPad" : #"iPhone"] bundle:NULL];
UIViewController *navCtrl = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"LoginViewController"];
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:navCtrl];
popover = popover;
popover.delegate = self;
popover.popoverBackgroundViewClass = [PopoverBackground class];
self.popover = popover;
[self.popover presentPopoverFromRect:((UIButton *)sender).bounds
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown
animated:YES];
But the popover never shows. But the weird thing is viewdidload and viewwillappear for loginview are called. And on again clicking on the view calls the popover delegate method didDismissPopover.
Though it works fine when presented from a popover segue.
I do not want to create a segue because login might be called from different locations and I want to keep this code separate.
Has anyone before faced such issue.
Solved it!!
Turned out I was giving the arrow direction as UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown and the rect to show was not proper. Changed the rect to (100, 500, 10, 10), and voila! Everything is perfect.

how to push views iphone?

i'm new to iphone development and i need some guidance in pushing views. I have the following application scenario "press on button ->switch view (contains a table)->press on table cell ->switch view".
To switch when i press the button i use the following code :
MapView *screen = [[MapView alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
screen.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:screen animated:YES];
[screen release];
Then to push another view i want to use this code (but it does not work - and im asking why?)
Newclass *nextController = [[Newclass alloc] initWithItem:theItem];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:nextController animated:YES];
[nextController release];
You want to push this view from your MapView? Looks like you don't have a UINavigationController which is needed to push view controllers like that.
Update the first part of your code to put the MapView inside UINavigationController, than you can push other views onto it with that second part of code you have.
MapView *screen = [[MapView alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:screen]; // this puts the MapView onto navigation controller
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal; // you will present the navController instead of screen so change it's modalTransitionStyle
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES]; // present it
[screen release];
[navController release]; // don't forget to release
