I have three controllers (FriendVC, ChatVC, PrivateChatVC) inside storyboad, and navigation is sequential :
A user can navigate from FriendVC to ChatVC(in TabBarController), and then to PrivateChatVC.
Now, I need to make some button that will open PrivateChatVC from FriendVC but will also put ChatVC on navigation stack, so when a user will press back from PrivateChatVC he will be returned to ChatVC.
Problem I'm facing is that my ChatVC is a TabBarController.
Below is the code I'm trying:
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
PrivateChatController * privateChatController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"privatechat"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:privateChatController animated:YES];
I'm assuming that [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1] will load the tabbar and then [self.navigationController pushViewController:privateChatController animated:YES]; will load PrivateChatVC.
However, it only takes me to ChatVC and PrivateChatVC never loads.
You're on the right track, you need to select the ChatVC tab as you've done, but use a singleton class and set a param so that when ChatVC becomes the active VC it knows to immediately push PrivateChatVC.
In FriendVC:
_singleton.showPrivateChat = YES;
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1]; // select ChatVC tab
In ChatVC:
- (void) viewDidAppear {
if (_singleton.showPrivateChat) {
PrivateChatController * privateChatController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"privatechat"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:privateChatController animated:YES];
_singleton.showPrivateChat = NO; // reset boolean
}
}
