popping and pushing view controllers in same action

Question

is is possible to pop a view off the navigation stack and then push another straight onto it?

I'm trying to implement a flat hierarchy for this section and would like to have a segmented controller but I can't make the segmented controller look anything liked I want, hence why I'm trying to use the navigation controller.

When a button is clicked I executed this code:

[[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:YES];         MapsViewController *aViewController = [[MapsViewController alloc]                                                initWithNibName:@"MapsViewController" bundle:nil]; [self.navigationController pushViewController:aViewController animated:NO]; [aViewController release]; 

It's popping off ok but theres no sign of any pushing! Any help would be appreciated.

 MapsViewController *aViewController = [[MapsViewController alloc]                                         initWithNibName:@"MapsViewController" bundle:nil];      // locally store the navigation controller since      // self.navigationController will be nil once we are popped  UINavigationController *navController = self.navigationController;       // retain ourselves so that the controller will still exist once it's popped off  [[self retain] autorelease];       // Pop this controller and replace with another  [navController popViewControllerAnimated:NO];//not to see pop   [navController pushViewController:aViewController animated:YES];//to see push or u can change it to not to see. 

Or

 MapsViewController *aViewController = [[MapsViewController alloc]                                         initWithNibName:@"MapsViewController" bundle:nil];   UINavigationController *navController = self.navigationController;  //Get all view controllers in navigation controller currently NSMutableArray *controllers=[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:navController.viewControllers] ;  //Remove the last view controller [controllers removeLastObject];  //set the new set of view controllers [navController setViewControllers:controllers];  //Push a new view controller [navController pushViewController:aViewController animated:YES];

In Swift:

let newVc = UIViewController() var vcArray = self.navigationController?.viewControllers vcArray!.removeLast() vcArray!.append(newVc) self.navigationController?.setViewControllers(vcArray!, animated: false) 

In case newVc exists in a Storyboard:

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil) let newVc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("YourViewControllerIdentifier") as! UIViewController var vcArray = self.navigationController?.viewControllers vcArray!.removeLast() vcArray!.append(newVc) self.navigationController?.setViewControllers(vcArray!, animated: false)
