uiview in navigation

Question

I am working with a navigation application. I have a homeViewController with two views(accept, service). When I click on a button in serviceView it should go to acceptView. I should have back button in navigation bar which takes me be back to serviceView from acceptView. When I am trying to use [self navigationController pushViewController, it only accepts viewcontroller but not view. Can any one please tell the alternative. Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should have a different viewController for each view if you wish to use a navigationController properly.

Set up AcceptViewController and ServiceViewController separately. Then, from the AcceptViewController , you can create a ServiceViewController and push it onto the stack as follows:

-(void)showServiceView {
ServiceViewController *serviceViewController = [[ServiceViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:serviceViewController];
[serviceViewController release];
}

Answer 2

Assuming you've references to both acceptView and serviceView , you can just make this work by removing one as the subview and adding the other one as the subview of homeViewController 's view . Something like,

[serviceView removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:acceptView];

for moving to acceptView . Switch them if you want to come back. However this mechanism will be abrupt. Use UIView 's transitionFromView:toView:duration:options:completion: method to animate the transition. Something like,

[UIView transitionFromView:serviceView
                    toView:acceptView
                  duration:0.5f
                   options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft| UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut
                completion:NULL];

This will remove serviceView and add acceptView as the subview along with a transition to go by.
