Hello all,

I am struggling with mixing navigationViews and tabs for my app.

Allow me to describe the flow:

1. App launch shows a list of files that the user can select to open. This is a navigationView with List embedding NavigationLinks
2. When user selects the file name, he/she is navigated to a Tab with 4 Tabs (Dashboard, CategoriesView, TransactionListView, Settings)
3. Tabs for Dashboard, CategoriesView & TransactionsListView all require a Master/Detail type view, thus are NavigationViews with NavigationLinks.

While all of the navigation works as expected, the problems are:

1. Missing NavigationTitles in the TabView's. Have tried both inline and regular NavigationTitles. Both dont show up
2. Another bar is added where the toolbar buttons are displayed. I am trying to add the toolbar buttons to the first navigation bar above.
3. when Navigating to the next level, another back button is being added (resulting in 3 bars - one each from each level of NagivationView)

Thanks

The issue is that you have a NavigationStack -> TabView -> NavigationStack.

A TabView need to be the firstand always visable. TabView -> NavigationStack. You can have a .fullScreenCover that will cover the TabView which might work.

You might want to rethink the flow of the app.

@NigelGee, thanks for the suggestion, I am reconsidering the flow and thinking that when the app launches I display a sheet for the user to select Journal and then TabView can be the first view. let me try and report back in the next day or so if that solves the problem.

Cheers
