Mine issue is i'm trying to push a TestViewController through navigation controller. when i click the button the TestViewController is being load with navigation bar and the UIScreen is in black colour.

Code of TestViewController

import UIKit
class TestViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }   

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }
    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(true)
        navigationItem.title = "Test page"
    }
}

Code of Button

    buttonPressedNumber = "Two Clicked"
    buttonTextColor = UIColor.magentaColor()
      let a = TestViewController()
      let b:UIViewController = a as UIViewController
      navigationController?.pushViewController(b, animated: false)
}

Answer 1

let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)
let resultViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewController") as! ViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(resultViewController, animated: true)

Answer 2

You have not set the background color of your view .

The default color of the of UIWindow is Black. So if you have not set any other background colors in the stack they will all be transparent.

Not setting an appropriate background color for your UIViewController's view will also cause weird visuals during a transition.

Answer 3

let nextVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("storyboardID") as! viewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(nextVC, animated: true)

Answer 4

not sure the background colour is set to white these days. therefore, if view controller is created programmatically

in viewDidLoad/viewWillAppear for a white background colour

view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
