How to reset a uinavigationview to display the root controller when user clicks back to it in a tab bar app

Answer 1

Hi Nick.

[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Or NO if you don't want it to animate.

This way all the views that were cached are still there, i.e. you don't "remove/release" all the views above the root view, unless the navigationController deems it necessary.

I hope this was what You were looking for..

ok, just wondering where I trigger that, like how do I hook that into happening every time a user hits the particular tab view button on the tab bar that contains the uinavcontroller and stack? Thanks for your time.

Hi NickThere is a UITabBar delegate method you must implement for the tabbar to work. This is:- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)itemIt is a bit hard without seeing your code or knowing if you did it in interface builder or programmed it yourself. However, the method above gets called when a user taps the tabbar, so from there you can see which tabbar was tapped (UIBarItem) and from that you need to access the correct navigationController.Describe how you did the setup or post some of the code and I'll help you get it "popping" :)

that makes sense I'll try to impliment that tonite. I think it should work.

so i couldnt get the didselectitem thing to work so I put the poptorootviewcontroller in the other tab bar views in the viewDidAppear method and it works like a champ. not sure how optimised it is but heck it works. thanks for the help!
