Using multiple ModalViewController

Question

Starting a new thread... about same question.. I have tried all I am getting from different post and forums... none of the working for me..

What I want to do is...

[self presentModalViewController:ViewControllerA animated:YES];//Working fine
//Inside viewControllerA call viewControllerB
[self presentModalViewController:ViewControllerB animated:YES];//Working fine
//Dismiss both the Controllers. and present View

C

I tried.

1. Dismissing viewControllerA before presenting ViewControllerB // which directly going to view C
2. Dismissing viewControllerA in viewControllerB // No results. //DismissViewController should dismiss all stack.. but not working for me so I tried
3. Dismissing both viewContrller in viewControllerB //still it shows viewContrllerA

OMG...it's confusing..

Answer 1

Your code is unclear (you're using self twice when they probably refer to different things). I'm assuming what you want to do is (effectively) this:

[viewController presentModalViewController:viewControllerA animated:YES];
// time passes...
[viewControllerA presentModalViewController:viewControllerB animated:YES];
// time passes
... do something to dismiss both controllers ...

You might have luck with something like this:

[viewControllerA dismissModalViewController:NO];
[viewController dismissModalViewController:NO];

I'm not sure what you mean by "in" or "inside"; it doesn't matter what class you're "in". But generally, a view controller is responsible for its children. Typically, the parent sets itself as the delegate of the child. When the child is "done", it sends a message to the parent; the parent is responsible for dismissing the child. UIKit's prepackaged view controllers (UIImagePickerController/MFMailComposeViewController/MFMessageComposeViewController) all follow this pattern.
