How to popViewController from button click of custom UITableViewCell

Question

I have a button in a custom UITableViewCell. Its UITableView is controlled by a UIViewController. I would like to return to the RootView when that button is clicked.

I am trying to use [self.superview.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]; in the target Action of the button, which is in the UITableViewCell.m file. However, it doesn't recognize "navigationController" because it is not in the stack.

How can I return to the RootView when that button is clicked?

Answer 1

Views have no explicit relation to controllers and views cannot be in the controller stack. Set the button target to be a UIViewController instance and in the action method call:

[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES|NO];
