Question

I am using Storyboard successfully. One screen isn’t “empty”, it has a class NotifierViewController.

This class has a .h,.m and XIB File. The app runs wonderfully.

Now I need a button in the XIB File to link this view back to my Storyboard. Right now, I have to stop and restart the app to see the main view.

So in the IB I created a UIButton and a IBAction in the .h and .m file. But my code for the actions doesn’t run. I get a black screen only.

The view that is the “Initial View Controller” in my Storyboard has the Class ViewController (only .h and .m File)

What is wrong?

#import "NotifierViewController.h"
#import "ViewController.h"

- (IBAction)home:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"Button was tapped");
    // init & alloc - Replace with your custom view controllers initialization method (if applicabale)
    ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] init];
    [viewController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
    [self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:NULL];
    [ViewController release];
}

Answer 1

- (IBAction)home:(id)sender 
{

    UIStoryboard* storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
    UIViewController* initialHelpView = [storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];

    initialHelpView.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
    [self presentModalViewController:initialHelpView animated:YES];
}
