iOS Help with View switching in Xcode using storyboards

[Ryute]

I made a log-in screen that once you press the button to log-in and it authenticates the user name and password. What I want to do it switch to a different view after the authentication is completed. I am usign a storyboard for this application adn I have set it up so that the log-in button does a modal seque but it doesn't switch the view. I tested this with a sample button and all it does it switch the view back to the same view and refreshes the view. What do I need to add in order for my funtion to switch from my ViewController View (the main view) to the next view (RootViewController). I have a navigationController and an object created fromt he ViewController class but I don't know how to use them in order to switch views.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can provide more information or sample code if needed.


I am so confused when it comes to view switching...

Thanks in advance!

Is your main view embeded in a navigation controller?

Also, embed your next view in the navigation controller, then Control+drag from your button to the nav controller for the next view.

Atleats thats what I do, and its always worked.


Lemme know if this helps.

How do I embed it in a navigiation controller? Do you mean through the storyboard or through code in the view controller? Does the ctrl+drag work if you already have your button doing various other functions that need to execute before the view switches?

To embed your view in a Navigation Controller, go to your storyboard. Then click on the view controller to embed. Then go up to the menubar and go:
Editor --> Embed In --> Navigation Controller. not sure if this is what you need, but this is how to do it.

Step 1: Quit Xcode.
Step 2: Make a complete backup of the current project.
Step 3: Make changes to see what happens.

If Step 3 doesn't produce the desired results, then delete the project and get the backup made in Step 2.

couldn't you use snapshots or git to make this easier?

I did delete the beginning of a project and start over last week because something in my Storyboard was causing a Segue to bomb. Spent about 2 hours trying to correct it before blowing it away and rebuilding it in 15 minutes LOL.

I embeded the main view to the navigation controller and it didn't change anything. I was thinking of trying this function but it gives me an error saying:

[UIStoryboardModalSegue rootViewController]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

Here is my function:

-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"Enter"]) 
    { 
        // Get reference to the destination view controller 
      EDIT://  ViewController *vc = [segue rootViewController]; 
        
   
    } 

}

And the function call:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"Enter" sender:self];

Am I missing something? Or am I doing this wrong? I feel like I am so close...

EDIT:
I got rid of the code withing the prepare function which got rid of the error and all it does is loop back into the same view. In the storyboard I have my main view linked to the next view with the identifier "Enter" but I still get send back to the same view.

EDIT:

Problem was fixed when I created a new file and redid my views. I guess the first storyboard was buggy. Thanks to everyone who replied.
