Modal View with Navigation Controller

Question

Hi, still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Just trying to get a modal view with a navigation controller inside.

Here is my project http://www.matthewpateman.com/New.zip

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong? I want "ShopModalView.xib" to pop up in the navigation controller, but its just diplaying a blank page…

Answer 1

ShopModalViewController *shopMVC = [[ShopModalViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ShopModalViewController" bundle:nil];
//set properties
UINavigationContrller *navCon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:shopMVC];
[self presentModalViewController:navCon animated:YES];
[shopMVC release];
[navCon release];

Answer 2

Matt,

Update: Your project was a mess... you need to get back to the basics man. Here's a corrected version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wddr123gwzkldty/New_IWasRobbed2.zip

// Present it as a modal view and wrap the controller in a navigation controller to provide a navigation bar in case you want to add edit, save, etc buttons
// ModalViewController is the view controller file name that gets the .h file included at the top, also make sure the XIB name is the same name
ModalViewController *addController = [[ModalViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ModalViewController" bundle:nil];
addController.delegate = self;

// This is where you wrap the view up nicely in a navigation controller
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addController];

// You can even set the style of stuff before you show it
navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;

// And now you want to present the view in a modal fashion all nice and animated
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];

// make sure you release your stuff
[navigationController release];
[addController release];

In interface builder, all I have in ModalViewController.xib is a UIView with some various controls on it like UIButtons or UIImageViews etc... Make sure the "view" hook-up for the UIView with all those controls is hooked up to "File's Owner"

That's it! Nice and simple.
