Remove viewController AND navigationItem from stack

Question

I have a UINavigationController and I in the current top-of-stack controller, I want to push a new controller on and then remove the current VC. In short, the goes from

[ViewController A]
[ViewController B]

to

[ViewController A]
[ViewController B]
[ViewController C]

to

[ViewController A]
[ViewController C]

I accomplish this in VC B by:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:VCC animated:YES];
[self removeFromParentViewController];

Works fine EXCEPT that the navigationItem stack still has the title/backButton from VC B sandwiched between A and C.

How can I remove a VC from the UINavigationController stack AND ALSO update the navigationItem stack?

Answer 1

The Navigation item did not show up because of the "style" of placing/removing the viewcontroller.

Instead of [self removeFromParentViewController] use [[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:NO] twice first before pushing the newviewcontroller onto the navigationcontroller

Another way is:

NSMutableArray *VCs = [self.navigationController.viewControllers mutableCopy];
[VCs removeObjectAtIndex:[VCs count] - 2];
self.navigationController.viewControllers = VCs;

Have a look at this: How do I pop the view controller underneath a pushed view controller?

Give it a try.
