Add a new iPhone View above everything, including the navigation bar

Question

Hey,

In an application I'm developing, everything starts from a navigation controller, which then loads up several pages.

My question is, how can I load up a new view ABOVE this? The closest I've got is to do this in the App Delegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

{   
    [self checkAndCreateDatabase];
    [self readDataFromDatabase];

    [window addSubview:[navigationController view]];

    // Add this
    [window addSubview:[newViewController view]];

    [window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}

However this will load the view half way across the screen with no way of having it start at (0,0). Do anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks

You can show regular views on top of everything by showing it as a modal view. Here is a sample project. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3656129/ModalViewExample.zip
