I'm trying to get working a simple operation. At least it seems simple. Ok, what I'd like to do is to push a view (with push view controller) from a view that has been pushed with modal view controller.
View1 --(push using modal view controller)-->View2--(push using push view controller)--View3.
Rigth now, i'm doing tests so i'm using a button to start the action. Here's the code I use to push from View2 to view 3:
//view2.h
UIToolbar *bar;
UIBarButtonItem *button;
UIToolbar *toolbar;
}
- (IBAction)demissModal:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)goView3:(id)sender;
@end
//view2.m
- (IBAction)goView3:(id)sender{
View3 *view_3 = [[View3 alloc] initWithNibName:@"View3" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:view_3 animated:YES];
}
This is the same code I use to push View1 to View2, and it works. But when pushing View2 to View3, it's not working. Any idea of why happens that? Thanks!
View Controllers aren't actually 'modal' or 'push' view controllers. Modal or Push describe a transition between view controllers (called segues if you're using storyboards).
What I think you're asking is how to modally present a view controller, and then push another controller. The trick is when you modally present view controller #1, to actually present a navigation controller with its root view controller set as view controller #1.
MyViewController *myViewController = [MyViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];
// Presuming a view controller is asking for the modal transition in the first place.
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
// Now in myViewController, call [self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController animated:YES];
This is what it looks like using storyboards:
