UINavigationController only in first XIB. Apple's EditbleDetailView

Question

So, In our appDelegate we're all used to creating a uinavigationcontroller outlet and linking it to a uinavigationcontroller in the XIB.

However in subsequent viewcontrollers I can only add uibarbuttonitems programatically by accessing the uinavigationcontroller. Is there a way to add buttons to applications uinavigationcontroller in the other uiviewcontroller's XIBS?

Apple seems to do it in this example: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/EditableDetailView/index.html

The same question has been asked before in apple's forum but remains unanswered.: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8917480#8917480

Thanks,

Answer 1

Have you tried dragging a Navigation Bar to a view in the View Controller's NIB? That will create a Navigation Bar with a Navigation Item under it. You can then create a connection between the navigationItem outlet in your File's Owner (whose class should be set to your View Controller class) and the Navigation Item, which is "under" the Nav Bar.

Answer 2

if you call [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:YourViewControllerObject animated:YES];

then you will get only one but if you are pushing viewController you'll get two.So either hide the root navigationController's NavigationBar or use presentModalViewController.
