Storyboard issue with UINavigationController and UITabBarController

Question

I always make my apps using Storyboard. But at the moment he is giving me some difficulties.
You can see a screenshot of my storyboard below here.

The problem is situated in the right hand corner. There I have a UItableview in my viewcontroller. When I push on a cell. I do a push segue to the next view. But when I this my tabbar at the bottom disappears.

Also in the view with my UItableview I defined a left and a right bar button inside my navigationbar. When I segue those two buttons disappears also and I get a back button (and I want those two buttons back from the previous viewController and get rid of the backbutton.)

How I can fix this problem??

I have tried this:

 self.tabBarController.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
    self.tabBarController.tabBar.hidden = NO;

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

I suppose you need a Navigation controller before the UITableView, i.e. after the UITabBar — Leonardo, Dec 18 '12 at 10:46

I have always used separate NavigationController's for each branch of a TabBarController. This may be causing your problem. Try embedding a Nav Controller in each of the 4 ViewControllers hooked to the TabBarController.

Also, make sure to call:

self.tabBarController.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;

After viewDidLoad in the ViewController you want this behavior. Then AFTER you call this, you will need to instantiate the two buttons you want to use instead.

EDIT - Check out this answer for an example of using a Protocol and Delegation to login your user.

When I do it like this. I get two navigation bars below each other. – Steaphann Dec 18 '12 at 10:22
I don't have my first navigation controller before my TabBarController. – LJ Wilson Dec 18 '12 at 10:39
Yes, but I need to have it like this because I have a login flow before the tabbar comes in. – Steaphann Dec 18 '12 at 10:42
Use a modal segue instead of push and use delegation to dismiss that VC and segue to the TabBarController (home screen) when the user logs in successfully. I can amend my answer with an example if you need. – LJ Wilson Dec 18 '12 at 10:52
If you have an example it would be nice. – Steaphann Dec 18 '12 at 11:12
No prob. About to leave for work. Will post example after I get there. – LJ Wilson Dec 18 '12 at 11:34
Gave you a link to an example. – LJ Wilson Dec 18 '12 at 13:00
