Question

I have 2 views. One is the ‘viewheader’ and the other is the ‘viewContent’ (added as subview).

‘viewContent’ contains a TableView (based on UINavigationController) and the TableView can drill down to a DetailView (UIViewController). (see Image below)

My Question is: How can I remove (pop) the DetailView, with a UIButton FROM the ‘headerView’.

The goal is to create a fixed Navigation, and only change (animate) the lower Content.

Thanks

// add "fixed" Header
- (void)loadView {
    viewHeader = [[HeaderViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"HeaderViewController" bundle:nil];
    self.view = viewHeader.view;
}

// add content view
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    viewContent = [[MainContentViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MainContentViewController" bundle:nil];

    CGRect viewFrame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 164.0f, 320, 316);
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewContent];
    [navController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [navController.view setFrame:viewFrame];
    viewHeader.contentNavView = navController; // <<<< CAN'T POP THE VIEW by passing UINavigationController to "header view"
    [self.view addSubview:navController.view];
}

Answer 1

I Found my mistake. The definition of ‘contentNavView’ inside ‘viewheader’ was wrong

Changed it from UIViewController to UINavigationController.

@interface HeaderViewController : UIViewController {
    UINavigationController *contentNavView;
}
...

Calling

[contentNavView pushViewController:aViewController animated:NO];

works.
