Menu seems empty / transparent

[Spoonrad]

Hi,

I'm at a complete loss and I could really use some help. There's something I must be doing wrong but I don't understand what.

The issue is that while I do have a right menu, and the slide animation works correctly, it shows what appears to be a completely transparent UIViewController. I have checked and my menu VC loads correctly, and when I do a modal segue for instance, everything is displayed correctly. My app works like this: there is an initial tab bar VC. One of the VC's tab leads to a SlideNavigationController (set in IB), which leads to a view controller. This view controller displays a menu on the right, instantiated from the storyboard.

This is how I configure things.

  - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    // Side Menu
    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];

    ReviserSideMenuViewController* sideMenu = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ReviserSideMenuViewController"];
    [SlideNavigationController sharedInstance].rightMenu = sideMenu;

    [SlideNavigationController sharedInstance].menuRevealAnimationDuration = .18;
    [SlideNavigationController sharedInstance].menuRevealAnimator = [[SlideNavigationContorllerAnimatorSlideAndFade alloc] initWithMaximumFadeAlpha:.9 fadeColor:[UIColor blackColor] andSlideMovement:100];

/////
}

@interface ReviserViewController : UIViewController <SlideNavigationControllerDelegate>
//
@implementation ReviserViewController

- (BOOL)slideNavigationControllerShouldDisplayLeftMenu
{
    return NO;
}

- (BOOL)slideNavigationControllerShouldDisplayRightMenu
{
    return YES;
}

I would really appreciate some assistance if you have an idea why things aren't working for me. Thank you.

I have edited my code after following the issues related to "black screens" (basically my issue). So now, I put the code into the ViewController that should have a menu.

- (void) setupSideMenu
{   
    // Side Menu
    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];
    ReviserSideMenuViewController* sideMenu = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ReviserSideMenuViewController"];
    [SlideNavigationController sharedInstance].rightMenu = sideMenu;
}

This still does not work. Should I set it at a different moment?

Edit:

I also tried putting the above methods in my tab bar view controller. No success though.

- (BOOL) tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
    if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[SlideNavigationController class]])
    {
       // SlideNavigationController* slideNavController = (SlideNavigationController*) viewController;
        // Side Menu
        UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main_iPhone" bundle:nil];
        ReviserSideMenuViewController* sideMenu = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ReviserSideMenuViewController"];
        [SlideNavigationController sharedInstance].rightMenu = sideMenu;
    }

    return YES;
}

EDIT : I have been unable to follow the guidelines given in another issue on Tab Bar VCs successfully. I am giving up for now. Generally Tab Bar support seems very sketchy, unfortunately.
