I’m curious what the best method is for managing the traversal through several views without burning screen space using a navigation bar.

As an example, assume I have four UIView‘s with associated UIViewController‘s: 

1: Top level menu (invokes A or B.1)
1.A: Menu selection A (return to 1)
1.B.1: Menu selection B, part 1 (invokes B.2)
1.B.2: Menu selection B, part 2 (return to A)

First, I’m unsure if a navigation controller is appropriate when I am not using a navigation bar. As an alternative, I am considering implementing a custom UIViewController that holds view controllers and acts as a screen manager.

Thoughts?

    You can always hide the navigation bar using setNavigationBarHidden:animated:

    Other than that it depends on what type of app you are building. Yours sounds like something that could use a Tab Bar, although that doesn’t solve your problem of taking up screen space.

    XCode’s templates offer another way to do it – try looking at a new project that is a “Utility” app. It shows how you can seamlessly switch between a couple of different screens.
