How to hide navigation bar on a particular view controller inside of navigation controller

Question

I have 8 view controllers embedded into 1 navigation controller. I'd like to hide the navigation bar (keeping status bar) on my first view controller. When I've tried to do this this, the navigation bar disappears on all my view controllers.

Answer 1

Try this in the first view controller:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:animated];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:animated];
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}
