Swift - UITableViewController with navigation bar

10
votes

I am facing an issue with one of my table view controllers. I don't seem to be able to get the navigation bar to show on top no matter what option I enable (maybe I am missing something).

I tried the following:

  • Selecting the controller in storyboard and going to attributes inspector and ensuring that top bar is set to Translucent Navigation (didn't work)
  • In the viewWillAppear function, I wrote: (didn't work)

self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false

Attached is also an image of the controller discussed. How can I do show the top bar? otherwise the results are ugly since the records showing (rows) are starting from the very top. I do not wish to use UIEdgeInsetsMake to fix it if possible.

Click the ordersViewController. Then in the top bar Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller and remove the navigationbar you currently have in the VC.

If you are coming from another controller to TableViewController then

try this code 

let nav : UINavigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("YourControllerName") as UIViewController)

self.navigationController?.presentViewController(nav, animated: true, completion: nil)

You have to embed your UITableViewController in a UINavigationController.
