Call storyboard scene programmatically (without needing segue)?

Question

I have a modal storyboard scene that I want to be accessible to all my other scenes. Creating a modal segue to it from every scene on my storyboard creates a big mess of str

Answer 1

In the storyboard give your view controller an identifier (under the Attributes Inspector) then use the following code to bring that view forward.

UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"STORYBOARDNAME" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc = [mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"VIEWCONTROLLERIDENTIFIER"];
[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];

Answer 2

Note: the method presentModalViewController:animated is deprecated in iOS 6.

The new code should read:

NSString * storyboardName = @"MainStoryboard_iPhone";
NSString * viewControllerID = @"ViewID";
UIStoryboard * storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:storyboardName bundle:nil];
MyViewController * controller = (MyViewController *)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:viewControllerID];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];

I think that with iOS7 it has become very easy implementing via the storyboard

I'm currently learning about the new features in iOS7 and found this simple solution, but it might have been relevant even in prior versions, I'm not sure.

First u need to connect the presenting VC with the target VC (thats the only connection needed), then within the storyboard's attributes inspector choose the style to be modal, in the identity inspector give your VC a storyboardID and make sure you checked the 'use storyboardID' checkbox,

If its not there yet add this method to your presentingVC:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {

   YourTargetVC * targetVC = 
         (YourTargetVC *)segue.destinationViewController;

   if(nil != targetVC) {

       //Do preparations here
   }

}

Now, when you wish to show your targetVC from your presentingVC you can use:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:(NSString *) sender:(id)];

where the identifier is your viewController's storyboardID, and the sender is the view who triggered the action, this method will invoke the storyboards scene, so the [prepareForSegue: sender:] method will be called allowing u making last modifications before the targetViewController will appear.

Just call viewcontroller using navigation controller Write this code in viewcontroller and set viewcontroller in storyboard as set in the image.

ProfileVC *vc = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ProfileVC"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];

Answer 5

Call to navigate to other class

UIWindow *window = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:0];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle: nil];

UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)window.rootViewController;

DumpFeed *dump = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"DumpFeed"];

dump.isPushed=YES;

dump.strUserId = appDelegate.strFriendid;


[navController pushViewController:dump animated:YES];

Answer 6

Heres a Swift version of this:

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let myVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("myStoryId")
self.presentViewController(myVC, animated: true, completion: nil)

You should also change your storyboard id like this:
