How to push a view using a button in a navigation controller?
I tried to follow this example:
http://www.cimgf.com/2009/06/25/uitabbarcontroller-with-uinavigationcontroller-using-interface-builder/
This is exactly what I need, I have an UITabBarController
with 4 tabs and one of them is an UINavigationController
. I want to push that view containing the navigation controller from the first view- which is a simple UIView
. It doesn't work, I tried also with a programmatically created button and nothing happens. Any pointers?
Here's the code I have
@interface HomeViewController : UIViewController {
}
-(IBAction)pushViewController:(id)sender;
@end
---
#import "HomeViewController.h"
#import "NewViewController.h"
@implementation HomeViewController
-(IBAction)pushViewController:(id)sender {
NewViewController *controller = [[NewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NewViewController" bundle:nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release], controller = nil;
}
Here is also the screenshot with the connections

I've tried what you guys suggested and still nothing, the buttons( whether they are created in Interface Builder
or programmatically ) act like they're not linked to any method.
Put this where you want to create the button: (e.g. the Root VC's -viewDidLoad
)
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
button.frame = CGRectMake(100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 40.0);
[button setTitle:@"Press" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[viewController.view addSubview:button];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(didPressButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
And implement this method:
- (void)didPressButton:(UIButton *)sender
{
UIViewController *viewController = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
}
If you use storyboard, create a segue manually
On storyboard:
- click on the view
- then on the right sidebar top menu select the "Show the connections inspector"
- in the "Triggered Segues", click and drag the "manual" trigger to the view you want to push
- chose "push" in the pop menu that will appear
it will create a segue, now select the segue and give it a identifier
Now you can use the code:
-(IBAction)doneAction:(id)sender
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"identifier" sender:self ];
}
now you can wire the action to your button
To push a view to the navigation controller just do:
YourController *childController = [[YourController alloc] initWithNibName:@"YourControllerView" bundle:NSBundle.mainBundle];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:childController animated:YES];
[childController release];
Now if you want it to happen when pressing a button, add a button to your nib file and connect it to a IBAction
method on Touch Up Inside event.
