How to show a UINavigationController with an UIButton on the Iphone?

Question

Hi, in my application the first view is an UIView with a couple of uilabel and an uibutton to do the login. I would to show an uinavigationcontroller with a table after the login, so with the action of the button. I know how to set up a working Navigation Controller starting with the Xcode Template but i dont know how to load this as a "Second View"

Any help?

You can add the view of the UINavigationController to the UIWindow and either let it obscure the first view or remove that view from the UIWindow. The navigationController won't have a back button to take you back to the first view (since it's stack doesn't include the first controller), so you'll need a custom button if you want to provide a way back.

- (IBAction) buttonPressed {
    myNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:mySecondViewController];
    [self.view.window addSubview:myNavigationController.view];
    [self.view removeFromSuperview];
}

That's the direct answer to your question, however, if you simply want UINavigationController functionality but don't want to see the UINavigationBar on the first screen - check out:
