iOS Navigation Bar Disappears After Switching Views

[Wellington2k]

Hello.

So, I have a tableview application with a UIView squished on the top.
On that UIView I have a Navigation Bar. When I tap on one of the cells it switches views to bring me to a description. But when I tap back, my Navigation Bar is gone. Any help?

1) Show us the code. We are just guessing right now

2) Why are you not using the standard UINavigationController?

It's something I do.

I just don't use the standard.

I don't really know what code to put down.

All of it is just a standard NSMutableArray:

cellarray = [[ NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"1",@"2",@"3",@"4", nil];

with a standard code to put it in the cells:

cell.textLabel.text = [cellarray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];

That's it.

How is your navBar added in the first place?

Then you are likely to have to solve your own problems as 99.99% of the rest of the programming world will not be doing what you are doing.

I fail to see how any of the code is relevant. Or helpful. Or even understandable as single statements without knowing what methods they are in are pointless.

How is the view structure setup? How does the navigation work in the absence of the standard and well understood navigation controller? Which objects are responsible for maintaining references to the views?

I found out that this problem has nothing to do with the Navigation Bar.

It's the UIView that is at the top.

What are you trying to accomplish that cannot be done with the standard UINavigationController?

Seems like you are going out of your way to reproduce functionality that already exists.

 

[Wellington2k]

I understand now.

But I can't seem to find a good tutorial for it.

1. Create a navigation controller
2. Push views onto it to dig deeper into your data
3. Pop views off of it to come back

Use the standards. They are there because they work. The Apple documentation has a bunch of examples that do this as does every iOS course on iTunes U.

Where have you looked? Because if you can't find a good tutorial on Navigation Controllers, I don't think you're trying that hard.

 

[Wellington2k]

O.k.

But what happened to MainWindow.xib?

 

[dejo]

But what happened to MainWindow.xib?

Do you have a Storyboard-based project? Even if not, I have never found the need to even look at MainWindow.xib.

 

[Wellington2k]

Storyboard, hu?

I've tried it a few times.

 

[dejo]

Storyboard, hu?

Beginning Storyboards in iOS 5 Part 1

I've tried it a few times.

Tried what? You're being rather vague.

 

[Wellington2k]

I got it!

Thanks for all your help!

Great! Would you be willing to share your final solution with the community?

 

[Wellington2k]

Solution?

Just use storyboard.

 

[dejo]

Solution?

Just use storyboard.

Well, sorry to be blunt, but that answer is as vague as your earlier responses and I'm still not entirely sure what the problem was.

 

[Wellington2k]

Here is the FULL solution.

I was not using a Navigation View Controller.

I was using a regular View Controller with a UIView on the top.

You have to use a Navigation View Controller.
