Ios – UINavigationController without navigation bar

iosuinavigationcontroller

I have a universal app, and on the iPad version I'm using UISplitViewController to create an interface similar to the Mail app.

I was having trouble pushing new Detail views, so I decided to use a UINavigationController so I could just push and pop views as needed. However, I do not want to use the navigation view or a toolbar. But no matter what I do, I can't hide the navigation bar.

I've tried unchecking "Shows Navigation Bar" in IB, and I've also tried setting:

[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];

in the viewDidLoad/viewDidAppear/viewWillAppear. I've also tried it in each of the views that will be pushed. Nothing works.

Is there something I'm missing here? Is it possible to have a UINavigationController without a toolbar or navigation bar?

You should be able to do the following:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.isHidden = true //Swift 5

where self.navigationController is (obviously) an instance of UINavigationController. Seems to work for me, but I only briefly tested it before posting this.

The nicest solution I have found is to do the following in the first view controller.

Objective-C

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:animated];
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:animated];
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

Swift

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: animated)
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
}

This will cause the navigation bar to animate in from the left (together with the next view) when you push the next UIViewController on the stack, and animate away to the left (together with the old view), when you press the back button on the UINavigationBar.

Please note also that these are not delegate methods, you are overriding UIViewController's implementation of these methods, and according to the documentation you must call the super's implementation somewhere in your implementation.

You can set the UIViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed instead:

DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] init];
detailViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];    
[detailViewController release];
