Programmatically changing viewControllers

From my navigationController I have two paths:

navigationController --> ViewControllerA -- ViewControllerB (currently showing).

and navigationController --> ViewController1 -->ViewController2.

I want to go from ViewControllerB to ViewController2.

Here's what I tried:

[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES]; // Works fine
AppDelegate app* = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
LocationsViewController*  locationsViewController = [[LocationsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LocationsView" bundle:nil];

locationsViewController.title = @"Title";
[self.navigationController pushViewController:locationsViewController animated:YES];

The self.navigationController pushViewController doesn't work.

I have a reference to viewController1 in App delegate a开发者_运维百科nd tried [app.viewController1 pushViewControler animated:YES];, but that doesn't work either.

How do you solve this problem?

Figured it out. This helped.

Apparently, the poptorootviewcontroller can't be animated, if you're pushing another view controller on top of it.

Thanks!
