I would like to show a modal dialog from a xib. The code that shows my window is:
self.vcSettings = [[ViewControllerSettings alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewControllerSettings" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self presentModalViewController:self.vcSettings animated:YES];
When this runs though, I get a blank screen, and not what was inside of my ViewControllerSettings.xib. I imagine I'm showing the view incorrectly somehow. Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT:
I think this should be
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:self.vcSettings animated:YES];
but for some reason self.navigationController is nil.
EDIT:
Self is a UIViewController instantiated in my AppDelegate like so:
UIViewController* viewMain = [[ViewController_iPhone alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.window.rootViewController = viewMain;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
You need to create a UINavigationController, set it's root view to the XIB controller that you want to present (in your case vcSettings), then present the UINavigationController
self.vcSettings = [[ViewControllerSettings alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewControllerSettings" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *controller = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vcSettings];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];

So I've setup the AppDelegate to load a root view vc which has a navigation controller:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
SecondViewController *vc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
self.window.rootViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
In my SecondViewController I have a method that then calls a push to present the third view controller:
ThirdViewController *thirdVC = [[ThirdViewController alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: thirdVC animated:YES];
Although this doesn't work. On closer inspection the self.navigationController property on the SecondViewController is nil. Is there something I've missed on the AppDelegate to make this non-nil?
Try this as i was facing same issue but i resolved it by setting same class name and Storyboard ID name under The Custom Class header of your project.
registerViewController *regVC = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"registerViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:regVC animated:YES];
Try this:
SecondViewController *vc = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
THere is no need of making the root view controller nil in the app delegate.
Inside this i am creating the custom navigation controller and i have view as storyboard but that view is not loading
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
//create the navigation controller and add the controllers view to the window
_navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
//check if the first viewcontroller eixsts, otherwise create it
if(self.firstViewController == nil)
{
ViewController *firstView = (ViewController *)[mainStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"mainView123"];
// ViewController *firstView = [[ViewController alloc] init];
self.firstViewController = firstView;
}
//push the first viewcontroller into the navigation view controller stack
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.firstViewController animated:YES];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
firs you should set your navigation as rootviewcontroller then try something like this.
UIStoryboard *storyboard =[UIStoryboardstoryboardWithName:#"MainStoryboard_iPhone" bundle:nil];
MyNewViewController *myVC = (MyNewViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"myViewCont"];
self.firstViewController = myVc;
The following code sets up my UIWindow and UINavigationController from which I want to present modal view controllers:
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
ViewController *controller = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController;
[self.window setHidden:FALSE];
Once I set this all up I display a Controller that is provided by a third party library using:
[self.navigationController presentViewController:self.presentedViewController
animated:NO
completion:nil];
While the Modal View Controller is loading there seems to be a grey screen that is displayed, wondering how I can hide this during the load of the modal controller.
I am making an application but I'm still a beginner and I'm trying to get used to the RootViewController and how it should be set.
At the beginning my application launches, I want there to be a View which is not in my tabBarController (which is set to be my rootViewController).
What I am trying to ask is, Can I have another view which is outside my UITabBarController launch first without it being in the tabBarController's items list?

I know you already selected an answer but all that's doing is pushing a UITabBar view on top of an existing view, not creating a new UITabBarController view. Based on our brief conversation (latest XCode, no StoryBoards, using XIBs) you're going to want to create a xib as a UITabBarController then push it into view...
View *view = [[View alloc] initWithNibName:#"myUITabBarXIB" bundle:nil];
view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController: view animated:YES];
This will present your XIB file but not on top of the existing view controller when the desired action takes place.
yes! ofcourse you do.
[self.view addsubview:yourTabbar.view];
Hope this will help you.
I'm new to UISplitView development, so I'm sure there is something obvious I'm doing wrong. I have a basic UISplitView iPad app that loads up with two UITableView controllers when the app launches. This works just fine.
What I am trying to do is immediately upon launch, presenting an "authentication" view modally so that a user will need to login before continuing. Here is the code I have so far which compiles and works without breaking, but the view is not showing.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
MasterViewController *masterViewController = [[MasterViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MasterViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *masterNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:masterViewController];
DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *detailNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:detailViewController];
self.splitViewController = [[UISplitViewController alloc] init];
self.splitViewController.delegate = detailViewController;
self.splitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:masterNavigationController, detailNavigationController, nil];
masterViewController.detailViewController = detailViewController;
masterViewController.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
self.window.rootViewController = self.splitViewController;
[self presentAuthenticate];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
applicationDidLaunch = YES;
return applicationDidLaunch;
}
- (void) presentAuthenticate {
AuthenticateViewController *loginController = [[AuthenticateViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"AuthenticateViewController" bundle:nil];
[loginController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[loginController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
if ([self.splitViewController respondsToSelector:#selector(presentViewController:animated:completion:)]) {
[self.splitViewController presentViewController:loginController animated:NO completion:nil];
} else {
[self.splitViewController presentModalViewController:loginController animated:NO]; //iOS 4 works fine with or without animation
}
}
I defined the AuthenticateViewController as a View with a few textfields in it and have it wired to the File's Owners view.
Thanks ahead of time!
A viewcontroller will not allow to push/present on anotherview unless and until the view is complete loading.
Simple saying we are not allow to call presentModalViewController/pushViewController in a viewcontroller viewDidLoad/viewWillAppear. we need to call this in viewDidAppear.
I had the same issue you said.
Some Solution I can say are,
Do the loading of AuthenticateViewController after [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; and in a performSelctor (may be with a delay).
Move the code to display AuthenticateViewController in SplitView's DetailView controller viewDidAppear.
thanks,
