MonoTouch.Dialog: Back item in NavigationBar

Question

I m having a hard time with this issue. My MainWindow.xib, has a NavigationController, the view for which is inherited from another xib.

Now, i push a DialogViewController from the main view, but i cannot see a back button on the second view's navigation bar.

Is there anything specific that i need to set for the DialogViewController when it is being pushed from a UIViewController.

Thanks and Regards Abhishek

Answer 1

The constructor for DialogViewController has a parameter called pushing which you should set to true:

new DialogViewController(rootElement, true); // true will show the back button

Answer 2

Without seeing your code, I'm not sure exactly what's going wrong here. However, from what I know of UINavigationController, the view controller stack starts empty. When you push the first view controller, it gives the navigation controller a view to display, but it has nothing to go 'back' to, so it does not display a back button. If you push a second view, you may get a back button.

Also, be sure that the Title property is set on your child view controllers if you want the back button to reflect the view you will be going back to.
