Question

Why won’t this work?

View1 loads View2.
In view2:

- (void) goToView {
  View3 *plainText = [[View3 alloc]
                          initWithNibName:@"View3" bundle:nil];

       [self.navigationController pushViewController:plainText animated: NO];
       [plainText release]; 
  }

- (void)viewDidLoad {
         [self goToView]; 
         [super viewDidLoad];
  }

This will not trigger navigationController to pushView, but if I add a button and setAction (goToView), it works perfectly. What kind of problem am I missing here?

Answer 1

Try putting your call to goToView in viewDidAppear instead of viewDidLoad?

- (void) viewDidAppear:(bool)animated {
    [super viewdidAppear:animated];
    [self goToView];
}
