iPhone: Show modal UITableViewController with Navigation bar

Question

I am showing a modal view which is a UITableViewController class. For some reason it won\'t show the navigation bar when I show it. Here is my code:

Answer 1

On iOS 7 and you just want a navigation bar on your modal view controller to show a title and some buttons? Try this magic in your UITableViewController:

// in the .h
@property (strong) UINavigationBar* navigationBar;

//in the .m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.navigationItem.title = @"Awesome";
    self.navigationBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    [self.view addSubview:_navigationBar];
    [self.navigationBar pushNavigationItem:self.navigationItem animated:NO];
}

-(void)layoutNavigationBar{
    self.navigationBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.tableView.contentOffset.y, self.tableView.frame.size.width, self.topLayoutGuide.length + 44);
    self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationBar.frame.size.height, 0, 0, 0);
}

-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
    //no need to call super
    [self layoutNavigationBar];
}

-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    [self layoutNavigationBar];
}
