Swift - UITableViewController with navigation bar

Question

I am facing an issue with one of my table view controllers. I don't seem to be able to get the navigation bar to show on top no matter what option I enable (maybe I am missing something).

I tried the following:

Selecting the controller in storyboard and going to attributes inspector and ensuring that top bar is set to Translucent Navigation (didn't work)
In the viewWillAppear function, I wrote: (didn't work)

self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false

Attached is also an image of the controller discussed. How can I do show the top bar? otherwise the results are ugly since the records showing (rows) are starting from the very top. I do not wish to use UIEdgeInsetsMake to fix it if possible.

and

Thanks,

How do you present the view?

Click the ordersViewController. Then in the top bar Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller and remove the navigationbar you currently have in the VC.

that leads to a loop whereby the view controller is populated repeatedly (leading to a crash probably).

It shouldn't. The only thing you did is embed your VC in a Navigation Controller. AFAIK, this is the way to do it though.

it worked. The issue was that I didn't remove the code suggested by another user. Thanks a bunch

I don't think this actually works. It adds a UINavigationBarItem, not a UINavigationBar

If you are coming from another controller to TableViewController then

try this code

let nav : UINavigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("YourControllerName") as UIViewController)

self.navigationController?.presentViewController(nav, animated: true, completion: nil)

I have tab bar and one of them is order tab...so when I click it, the first picture above is loaded (the view controller that is)

"the first picture above is loaded (the view controller that is)" is it a tableViewController ?

You have to embed your UITableViewController in a UINavigationController.

This is the best solution if you are using Storyboard. But if your UITableViewController is in a xib, then use the above solution from hellosheikh.
