Change view in one XIB

Question

I'm trying to make an app using Interface Builder (instead of Storyboard) for the first time, but I'm stuck. Is it possible to change view using a ViewController in the same XIB? I'd like that when I tap a button, the view changes to the other ViewController present in the same XIB file. Must I call back an action? If yes, which?

Answer 1

If you have 2 view controllers with 2 .xib files, like this

You can present the NextViewControler from your ViewController's button press method,

-(IBAction) yourButtonPressed:(id)sender;{
    NextViewController *nextViewController = [[NextViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NextViewController" bundle:nil];
    [self presentViewController:nextViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

EDIT :

You can present the same viewcontroller like this.

-(IBAction) yourButtonPressed:(id)sender;{
    ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController" bundle:nil];
    [self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
