Question

So i have my main viewController and all i have is a single button inside.
The code of the button is :

- (IBAction)eventsButton:(id)sender {
self.eventsViewController =[[EventsViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"EventsViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:eventsViewController animated:YES];}

where EventsViewController is another controller where i want to navigate when this button is clicked. But when i click it nothing happens.. I dont navigate to the other controller.

ViewController.h
-------------------
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@class EventsViewController;

@interface ViewController : UIViewController <UIActionSheetDelegate>

- (IBAction)eventsButton:(id)sender;

@property (strong, nonatomic) EventsViewController *eventsViewController;


@end




ViewController.m
-----------------
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "EventsViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController

@synthesize eventsViewController;


- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}

#pragma mark - View lifecycle

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}

- (IBAction)eventsButton:(id)sender {
    self.eventsViewController =[[EventsViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"EventsViewController" bundle:nil];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:eventsViewController animated:YES];
}

@end

I put a breakpoint in the IBACTION and i see that the code is executed , but it never navigates me to the other controller. The other controller is just a simple controller i created with Xcode , it has all the code Xcode gives and nothing mine.
Any ideas?

My guess is you didn’t put ViewController inside UINavigationController. First you have to alloc and init UINavigationController. So inside application: didFinishLounchingWithOptions:

ViewController *viewController = [[ViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController]
[self.window setRootViewController:navigationController];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible]

It should work.
