Ionic - Ionic Pages

Issue

I want to create a UI in the Ionic Framework sort of Android Fragments. The header will have buttons etc which have animations. That's why I cannot use navctrl.push or navctrl.setroot. I need to change only the content of ion-content (MainPage) and load a new Page which contains only ion-content. Below is a picture that presents how I would like to do it.

Are there any possibilities to do it?

app.html

<ion-header>
    <ion-navbar>
        <ion-title>Blabla</ion-title>
        <button ion-button color="primary" (click)="home()">Home</button>
        <button ion-button color="primary" (click)="second()">Second</button>
    </ion-navbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content>
</ion-content>
<ion-nav #myNav [root]="rootPage"></ion-nav>

app.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Platform, NavController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';

import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';
import { SecondpagePage } from '../pages/secondpage/secondpage';
@Component({
  templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class MyApp {
  @ViewChild('myNav') nav: NavController;
  rootPage:any = HomePage;

  constructor(platform: Platform, statusBar: StatusBar, splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
    platform.ready().then(() => {
      // Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.
      // Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.
      statusBar.styleDefault();
      splashScreen.hide();
    });
  }

  home() {
    this.nav.setRoot(HomePage);
  }

  second() {
    this.nav.setRoot(SecondpagePage);
  }

}

In HomePage and SecondPage I put only <ion-content>Test1</ion-content> and <ion-content>Test2</ion-content>. Now I have that situation - the header "covers" the rest. So I don't see any text because it's below the header. How can I change that behavior?

Solution

Sure. You can have named NavControllers

app.component.ts

import {MainPage} from 'main'

@Component({
  template: '<ion-nav [root]="rootPage"></ion-nav>'
})
class MyApp {
  // First page to push onto the stack
  rootPage = MainPage;
}

main.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({
   template: `
     <ion-header>{{ YOUR HEADER }}</ion-header>
     <ion-content>
       <ion-nav #yourNav [root]="rootPage"></ion-nav>
     </ion-content>
   `
})
export class MainPage {
   @ViewChild('yourNav') nav: NavController
   public rootPage: any = StartPage;

   public goSomeWhere() {
     this.nav.push(SomeWhere);
   }

   public goSomeWhereElse() {
     this.nav.push(SomeWhereElse);
   }
}
