Navigation Link in Bar Items Goes Back to Top of Navigationview

Navigation Link in bar Items goes back to top of NavigationView

Put navigation link into body of navigation view (bar is not in navigation view)

So here is possible approach

struct TestView: View {
    @State private var isActive = false

    var body: some View {
            VStack {
                Text("View 2")
            }
            .background(
               NavigationLink(destination: Text("View 3"), isActive: $isActive,
                label: { EmptyView() })
            )
            .navigationBarItems(trailing:
               Button("Navigate", action: { self.isActive = true }))
    }
}

SwiftUI - Remove extra space in NavigationBar after transitioning back to Home view from subview

Every time you push a new Home via a NavigationLink, you're adding another NavigationView to the hierarchy, since Home has a NavigationView in it.

To avoid that, you could separate the NavigationView out and instead link to View:

struct Home: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            View1() //<-- Here
        }
    }
}

struct View1 : View {
    @State private var view2 = false
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Home View!")
                .padding()
            
            NavigationLink(destination: View2(), isActive: $view2) { }
            
            Button {
                self.view2 = true
            } label: {
                Text("Go to next view")
            }
            
        }
        .navigationTitle("Home")
    }
}

struct View2: View {
    
    @State private var home = false
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("This is View 2")
                .padding()
            
            NavigationLink(destination: View1() //<-- Here
.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true), isActive: $home) { }
            
            Button {
                self.home = true
            } label: {
                Text("Go to Home view")
            }
            
        }
        .navigationTitle("View 2")
    }
}

That being said, I'm a little skeptical of the strategy here. It seems like instead of pushing a new View1, you might just want to be going back to the existing one. In that case, your code could just look like this:

struct Home: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            View1()
        }
    }
}

struct View1 : View {
    @State private var view2 = false
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Home View!")
                .padding()
            
            NavigationLink(destination: View2(), isActive: $view2) { }
            
            Button {
                self.view2 = true
            } label: {
                Text("Go to next view")
            }
            
        }
        .navigationTitle("Home")
    }
}

struct View2: View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("This is View 2")
                .padding()
            Button {
                presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
            } label: {
                Text("Go to Home view")
            }
            
        }
        .navigationTitle("View 2")
    }
}

SwiftUi Navigation Bar Button disappears after entering the third View (Controller)

I found the Problem!

The .toolbar modifier on the NavigationView hides the Backbutton in a Buggy way!

Custom back button for NavigationView's navigation bar in SwiftUI

TL;DR

Use this to transition to your view:

NavigationLink(destination: SampleDetails()) {}

Add this to the view itself:

@Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>

Then, in a button action or something, dismiss the view:

presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()

---

Full code

From a parent, navigate using NavigationLink

 NavigationLink(destination: SampleDetails()) {}

In DetailsView hide navigationBarBackButton and set custom back button to leading navigationBarItem,

struct SampleDetails: View {
    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode: Binding<PresentationMode>

    var btnBack : some View { Button(action: {
        self.presentationMode.wrappedValue.dismiss()
        }) {
            HStack {
            Image("ic_back") // set image here
                .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
                .foregroundColor(.white)
                Text("Go back")
            }
        }
    }
    
    var body: some View {
            List {
                Text("sample code")
        }
        .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)
        .navigationBarItems(leading: btnBack)
    }
}

How to remove the default Navigation Bar space in SwiftUI NavigationView

For some reason, SwiftUI requires that you also set .navigationBarTitle for .navigationBarHidden to work properly.

NavigationView {
    FileBrowserView(jsonFromCall: URLRetrieve(URLtoFetch: applicationDelegate.apiURL))
        .navigationBarTitle("")
        .navigationBarHidden(true)
}

Update

As @Peacemoon pointed out in the comments, the navigation bar remains hidden as you navigate deeper in the navigation stack, regardless of whether or not you set navigationBarHidden to false in subsequent views. As I said in the comments, this is either a result of poor implementation on Apple's part or just dreadful documentation (who knows, maybe there is a "correct" way to accomplish this).

Whatever the case, I came up with a workaround that seems to produce the original poster's desired results. I'm hesitant to recommend it because it seems unnecessarily hacky, but without any straightforward way of hiding and unhiding the navigation bar, this is the best I could do.

This example uses three views - View1 has a hidden navigation bar, and View2 and View3 both have visible navigation bars with titles.

struct View1: View {
    @State var isNavigationBarHidden: Bool = true

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            ZStack {
                Color.red
                NavigationLink("View 2", destination: View2(isNavigationBarHidden: self.$isNavigationBarHidden))
            }
            .navigationBarTitle("Hidden Title")
            .navigationBarHidden(self.isNavigationBarHidden)
            .onAppear {
                self.isNavigationBarHidden = true
            }
        }
    }
}

struct View2: View {
    @Binding var isNavigationBarHidden: Bool

    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            Color.green
            NavigationLink("View 3", destination: View3())
        }
        .navigationBarTitle("Visible Title 1")
        .onAppear {
            self.isNavigationBarHidden = false
        }
    }
}

struct View3: View {
    var body: some View {
        Color.blue
            .navigationBarTitle("Visible Title 2")
    }
}

Setting navigationBarHidden to false on views deeper in the navigation stack doesn't seem to properly override the preference of the view that originally set navigationBarHidden to true, so the only workaround I could come up with was using a binding to change the preference of the original view when a new view is pushed onto the navigation stack.

Like I said, this is a hacky solution, but without an official solution from Apple, this is the best that I've been able to come up with.

ios15 half-swiping back while hiding the navigation bar leaves a top empty space - SwiftUI

It's some weird hackery, but I was able to "fix" it by using .navigationViewStyle(.stack) on NavigationView.

If you are interested, btw, the white space was navigation bar and large navigation title. A useful thing in debugging this kind of stuff is the "Debug View Hierarchy" button.

It's definitely a hack, but you could try submitting a bug report to Apple anyway.
