Problem pushing multiple view controllers onto navigation controller stack

Question

I am trying to push three view controllers onto the navigation controller.

  [self.navigationController pushViewController:one animated:YES];
  [self.naviga         


        

Answer 1

For the first two pushes, don't pass the animated flag in as YES, set it to NO:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:one animated: NO]; 
[self.navigationController pushViewController:two animated: NO];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:three animated: YES];

This will give you the effect you want. Otherwise, you're confusing the animation system, as it tries to animate three views into the same space.

Answer 2

The problem with the current most upvoted answer is that one and two will be visible in a split second before the third becomes visible. Not a huge problem, but it'll not make a good impression on the user. The solution you're looking for:

NSMutableArray *controllers = [self.navigationController.viewControllers mutableCopy];
[controllers addObject:one];
[controllers addObject:two];
[controllers addObject:three];
[self.navigationController setViewControllers:controllers animated:YES];

This will animate in three without one or two becoming visible in the process.
