iPhone Development - Add a navigation Controller to a Tab in Xcode 4

[KaktusFilms]

I would like to do the same as you did but I have Xcode 4.2 and tabbar template is a bit different from this one cause I dont have MainWindow.xib

Could you tell me please, how can I add navigation controller in xcode 4.2 ?

Thanks!

@KaktusFilms I had the same problem, you figured it out yet?

@casperbyc

Yeah, here it is:

Go to your app delegate and add this:

 UIViewController *viewController1 = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewCon­troller" bundle:nil];

UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController new] initWithRootViewController:vie­wController1];

navigationController.viewContr­ollers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:viewController­1];

And thats it! So how you see, I populate navigationController with viewController1 and it works perfectly!

Hey man this is sweet thanks. I was trying to do this in one of the youtube oreilly video's and ran into problems. You think you could extend this video by creating some sample tabel cells and selecting one taking us to another view?

Thanks

Awesome tutorial man. I was wondering if you can help me out with something -

I have a Tab bar controller and Navigation controller just like you have. And what I want to do is, in the first tab, have a button (in the view controller), and when this button is pressed, I get another view, BUT with the same Tab bar and navigation controller. Can you please help me out? A video tutorial would be AWESOME. But snippets of code or some tips would be also very appreciated. Thanks!

Can I ask why you wouldn't want to put this button on the Navigation Bar? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "same navigation controller".

[richardpniewski]

@theAppCodeBlog Its cool, that exactly what I ended up doing :) Thanks anyway.

Thanks!

I was suffering for the last day because of the changes in Xcode 4. I had no idea it was that simple.

where did u get firstview controller from???????

@mulcslo

FirstViewController was created automatically by Xcode when I selected Tab Bar App template at the beginning.
