Can NOT segue between Storyboards

Question

So I found a nice outline that gives me what I want. However, I can't switch to other storyboards?

How do I segue into other storyboards with a 'built in' window?

Included is my ViewController.M implementation file. This code seems to make a table on its own instead of use the storyboard (navigation controller)...

How do I make it work to segue to other storyboards?

   #import "ViewController.h"        

        @interface ViewController ()

        @end

        #define getDataURL @"http://??.??.??.??/phpfile12.php"

        @implementation ViewController
        @synthesize json, storesArray, myTableView;
        - (void)viewDidLoad
        {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.




    self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]};


    [self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]
                                                  forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [UIImage new];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
    self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    //set the title
    self.title = @"";

    [self retrieveData];
        }


        - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
        {
            [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
        }

Answer 1

To instantiate a view controller from another storyboard you can use UIStoryboard storyboardWithName

UIViewController *dvc = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"yourStoryboardName" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"yourViewIdentifier"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:dvc animated:YES];

This is more a general answer, though.

I don't understand what you exactly asking but for simple segue i used this line of code

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"identifier" sender:self];

if you want to segue without linking than you have to give identifier to view controller and use this code below

UIViewController *homeViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"identifier"];
    [self presentViewController:homeViewController animated:0 completion:nil];

I am not entire sure what you mean by "Segue to other storyboard"? The following code allows you to jump to a totally different view controller tree inside the same storyboard by a click of button or other action.

AppDelegate *delegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
UIViewController *initViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SecondScreen"];
delegate.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
delegate.window.rootViewController = initViewController;
[delegate.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Main is the name of your storyboard that you want to jump into.

SecondScreen is the storyboard ID of the view controller. Most likely it is a navigation or a container. You will need to set "SecondScreen" under identity inspector.
