Push segue from UIButton

Hi, I would like to add a verticle push segue to a UIButton. I have tried using the push option but I have now found out that it can only be used in table view controllers. How would I do this from a button?

//This will target the method 'buttonPressed'. [self myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

//This will change views using the segue identified as 'secondView'.
- (void) infoButtonPressed{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"secondView" sender:self];
}

Will this add a vertical push animation to the segue?

Ah, nah. This wouldn't. I'm sure it's just a extra method added on though.

You can use the push segue as long as you have a navigation controller. If you don't then make sure your view controller is embedded in a navigation controller. In your storyboard select your view controller from the menu select Editor -> Embed in -> Navigation Controller.

Brillian! Thanks. Am I able to change this to a vertical push?

You can achieve a vertical transition by adding a modal segue. Or write your own custom segue and animation.

Is this the same animation code for when the keyboard appears.

I have added the navigation controller and it works. However, am I able to hide the navigation bar but keep the back button visible?

When you create a modal view controller then there is no navigation bar. You can add a button to dismiss the view controller.
