how to add navigation controller programatically?

Question

hi..

I have a problem, In my app there is requirement that..I have 6 buttons in a nib, when i press any button a new nib will be loaded into the window according to the button pressed. problem is after loading the new nib If I want to come back to the previous nib (which is having all the buttons) how to add navigation controller?

what i am doing now is while loading the new nib when i pressed the button

objNewViewController = [[NewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NewViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:objNewViewController animated:YES];

but by this way im not able to load the nib, its not performing any operation?

can any one solve my problem?

Answer 1

There is a template in Xcode for a navigation based app. It does everything you describe. Well, very close at least, only the AnotherViewController in -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: is commented out.

Answer 2

UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[NewViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NewViewController" bundle:nil]];

[self presentModalViewController:navigationController               animated:YES];
            [navigationController release];

And in NewViewController: USe this to dismiss and get back to previous view.

[[self navigationController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
