Presenting Modal View Controller From Xib
ios, modal-dialog, presentmodalviewcontroller, xib
Solution
You need to create a `UINavigationController`, set it's root view to the XIB controller that you want to present (in your case `vcSettings`), then present the `UINavigationController`
self.vcSettings = [[ViewControllerSettings alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewControllerSettings" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *controller = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vcSettings];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
Problem
I would like to show a modal dialog from a xib. The code that shows my window is: ``` self.vcSettings = [[ViewControllerSettings alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewControllerSettings" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]]; [self presentModalViewController:self.vcSettings animated:YES]; ``` When this runs though, I get a blank screen, and not what was inside of my ViewControllerSettings.xib. I imagine I'm showing the view incorrectly somehow. Any advice is appreciated. EDIT: I think this should be ``` [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:self.vcSettings animated:YES]; ``` but for some reason `self.navigationController` is nil. EDIT: Self is a UIViewController instantiated in my AppDelegate like so: ``` UIViewController* viewMain = [[ViewController_iPhone alloc] initWithNibName:@"ViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil]; self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; // Override point for customization after application launch. self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; self.window.rootViewController = viewMain; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; ```
