Question

How to Dismiss 2 Modal View Controllers in Succession?

Answer 1

A:

Try using the next code in B (right after dismissing C, as you already do):

[self.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

IMPORTANT:
Don't do anything in the method after this line.
This view controller (B) probably will be released and deallocated...

I tried this but it just simply dismisses C. B is still visible.

Try dismissing C without animation and then dismiss B with animation... BTW, where is this dismissing code located (which class and how is this method called)?

Dismissing code is located in C in a method called dismissAll. It is triggered by pressing a UIBarButtonItem.

I was sure that it is located in B when I wrote my answer... The common solution for dismissing modal view controllers is to call a method in delegate (view controller that opened the modal one) and in that method the modal view controller should be dismissed. In your case A should be a delegate of B and B should be a delegate of C; in C you should call a delegate method in B that should dismiss C and call a delegate method in A, that should dismiss B... I hope it is clear enough now.

Answer 2

A:

The navigation controller has a "viewControllers" property that is an array - you can set that to a new array minus the two view controllers you want to remove.
