How to navigate programmatically to another viewcontroller with "over current context " presentation in ios 9, objective C

Question

I'm building my app using storyboard.so I can open another view controller when button preesed,by dragging.and then I can select presentation= over current context for the segue in storyboard.But what I want is to do this programmatically.I found an answer,but it says it will work for only ipads.I'm building an universal app, so I want to work it for all devices.

Is this possible.
And how can I do that.

in my first view controller

UIStoryboard *story = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
UIViewController *middleViewController = [story instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"FlightMiddleViewController"];

and in my second view controller, viewDidLoad method I put

self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;

it works for a while.that means it transparent for while and then screen black.I don't know why is that.

thanx for the link.but it is not my case.I know how to `navigate` programmatically. what I want is how to set 'presentation' as `over current context`.anyway thanx — caldera.sac, Jan 28 '16 at 05:17

it is working for iphone also with ios 9 >=

this is what you want to do.

in your first view controller, before you set up which view should present,

- (IBAction)searchNowAction:(id)sender {

    UIStoryboard *story = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    UIViewController *secondViewController = [story instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"secondviewControllerSBname"];


    secondViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;
    secondViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
    [self presentViewController:secondViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

}

this works fine for iphones also.

You need to set following property before presenting.

self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext

Also set definesPresentationContext property of parent controller to true

Yes it will work only for iPad, as modal presentations and popover controllers are only supported in iPad.

but if we do this using drag, then we can set it for iphones also. – caldera.sac Jan 28 '16 at 05:20

Actually, it's not that hard to do OverCurrentContext presentation style on iPhone. Have a look at UIViewController custom transition, which was introduced in iOS 7. You will find out how to do it.

For anyone that was doning performSegue(.. programmatically

In my case I was having a modal that present a button. taping the button should push a new viewController, but it get push in fullScreen even if Im inside a modal

So after little search I found out that I was setting in storyBoard in xcode: Presentation => fullScreen. So then I had to change is to Current Context
