Showing Toolbar on 2nd ViewController

I have two view controllers on the same storyboard. What I want to do is send an array of string values to the table view control on another view controller.

    ViewController2 *second=[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"View2"];
    second.arrayFromVC1=areaArray;
    [self presentViewController:second animated:YES completion:nil];

The second view controller has a toolbar control at the top by default. (See below.)

2nd view controller

Passing data to another view controller wasn't easy for me, who has been using Xcode for two weeks. I somehow managed it. So an array of strings is sent to the 2nd view controller through an array variable (arrayFromVC1) set on the 2nd implementation file. I suppose experienced Xcode users know what I'm talking about. Anyway, the 2nd view controller does receive a list of values as shown below.

enter image description here

Well, the problems are that the toolbar control on the 2nd view controller will disappear when the user gets to see the list and that the table view control (UITableView) occupies the entire window. I understand that you can control the size of the table view control by specifying values under the viewDidAppear method. But my question is... Is that how things work with iOS and Xcode? So if I want to display that toolbar control at the top, I have to do it programmatically by writing code under the viewDidAppear method as well?

Thank you for your advice.

Tom, are you using interface builder and storyboards? If so, select the ViewController in IB, go to Editor (in the top menu) --> Embed In --> Navigation Controller.

This will embed the chosen VC and any VC it segues to (and so on) into a Nav Controller.
