I have a universal app, and on the iPad version I'm using UISplitViewController
to create an interface similar to the Mail app.
I was having trouble pushing new Detail views, so I decided to use a UINavigationController
so I could just push and pop views as needed. However, I do not want to use the navigation view or a toolbar. But no matter what I do, I can't hide the navigation bar.
I've tried unchecking "Shows Navigation Bar" in IB, and I've also tried setting:
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
in the viewDidLoad
/viewDidAppear
/viewWillAppear
. I've also tried it in each of the views that will be pushed. Nothing works.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is it possible to have a UINavigationController
without a toolbar or navigation bar?
You should be able to do the following:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;
where self.navigationController is (obviously) an instance of UINavigationController. Seems to work for me, but I only briefly tested it before posting this.
If you want no navigation bar, and you want the content to be adjusted up to where the navigation bar normally would be, you should use
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
This gives you a result like this:

Whereas self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;
gives you a space where the navigationBar should be. Like this:

Swift 4
I hide it in viewWillAppear
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = true;
}
Then you can put it back when you push a segue (if you want to have the back button on the next view)
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?)
{
self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false;
}
Swift 3 Programmatically
self.navigationController.isNavigationBarHidden = true
or
self.navigationController.navigationBar.isHidden = true
Note: I didn't see a difference between these two approaches testing on iOS 10.
