I'm having trouble figuring out how to add a navigationcontroller to my iOS app. I need all of the views except the "home" screen to have a back button but I'm not sure how to add it.
Here is a link to my project:

Answer 1

Remove the navigation bars from all of your NIBs and use a navigation controller (such as in the app delegate like NeverBe outlined), and then transition to the child controllers via a pushViewController rather than presentViewController as you're currently doing, and you should get your "back" button automatically. You'll also want to remove any references to dismissViewControllerAnimated, if you have any, as your back button will now do popViewControllerAnimated for you. If you need to programmatically pop anywhere, though, you can just used popViewControllerAnimated.
In your NIBs, you might also want to tweak the simulated metrics so you can design your NIBs with the navigation bar graphically represented, e.g.:
See the navigation controller section of the View Controller Catalog and refer to the UINavigationController Class Reference.

Answer 2

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[KFBViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"KFBViewController" bundle:nil]];
self.window.rootViewController = nav;
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
Call new view controller
KFBYouTubeView *youtubeView = [[KFBYouTubeView alloc] initWithNibName:#"KFBYouTubeView" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:youtubeView animated:YES];
Update:
Method for add custom nav bar buttons
- (void)customizeNavigationButtonWithType:(NavigationBarButtonType)type
normalImageName:(NSString *)normalImageName
selectedImageName:(NSString *)selectedImageName
selector:(SEL)selector {
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:normalImageName];
UIImage *imgPressed = [UIImage imageNamed:selectedImageName];
UIButton *customButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[customButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customButton setImage:img forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customButton setImage:imgPressed forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
customButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height);
[customButton addTarget:self action:selector forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *btn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customButton];
switch (type) {
case NavigationBarButtonTypeLeft:
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:btn animated:YES];
break;
case NavigationBarButtonTypeRight:
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:btn animated:YES];
break;
}
}
Usage:
[self customizeNavigationButtonWithType:NavigationBarButtonTypeRight
normalImageName:#"create.png"
selectedImageName:#"create_highlight.png"
selector:#selector(pressButton:)];
