Table View presented modally has no navigation bar

Question

When I present a view controller modally:

// Display the nav controller modally.

[self presentModalViewController:theNavController animated:YES];

The navigation bar is covered up the view the pops up! How can I get the navigation bar to not get covered up??

Thanks in advance!

Position the view that is covering it below the navigation bar. It covers it because the views share the same superview and probably both have a y-origin of 0. — Matt, Oct 19 '12 at 22:08
Either add a navigationBar or wrap the presented controller in a `UINavigationController` — Paul.s, Oct 19 '12 at 22:08

The answers can be found at iPhone: Show modal UITableViewController with Navigation bar and UINavigationBar refuses to show in Modal View Controller!

You need to wrap the UIViewController in a UINavigationController, and then present the navigation controller:

AccountViewController* accountViewController = [[AccountViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"AccountView" bundle:nil]; 
... 
// Initialize properties of accountViewController 
... 
UINavigationController* navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:accountViewController]; 
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES]; 
[navController release]; 
[accountViewController release];
