iOS: How to programmatically navigate/jump to different scenes managed by Navigation Controller?

Question

I have a series of views that are managed under a Navigation Controller. Is there a way to programmatically (in iOS5+) jump (push/pop) to different views? For instance, I have

NavigationController->RootViewController->DetailViewController1->DetailViewController2->DetailViewController3

How can I, say, jump from RootViewController to DetailViewController3, and then jump back to DetailViewController1?

Thanks.

You can try something like this.

1. Get your VCs from storyboard. (You have to set identifiers in storyboard)

   UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
   UIViewController *DetailViewController1 = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"DetailViewController1Identifier"];
   UIViewController *DetailViewController3 = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"DetailViewController3Identifier"];
   

2. Push VCs way you need.

   [self.navigationController pushViewController:(DetailViewController1) animated:YES];
   [self.navigationController pushViewController:(DetailViewController3) animated:YES];
   

Now, when you press "back" you'll see DetailViewController1.
