Question

I have a UINavigationController in which the root view doesn’t display the top navigation bar via
[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];

The view I’m pushing onto this does need to display the navigation bar, and I’m currently using the above method to show it and then hide it again when the view is popped. This results in some weird going-ons, which I would like not to have going on.

EDIT: To clarify, right now I’m using [[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:NO]; in the pushed view, and what’s happening is the navigationBar appears in both the outgoing view and the new one, and it looks pretty messy to have that flash happen. Here’s what’s currently happening:

And What I’d like:

Instead what I would like is for the navigation bar to already be showing while the view is being pushed, and not on the root view, much like the behaviour of the hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

What if you put:

[[self navigationController] setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:NO];

in your pushed view controller’s -viewDidLoad method?
